Interesting Feature

The strength of Dishonored: Definitive Edition largely comes from the power of your choices in its world. Your actions are tracked by the "Chaos" system, higher chaos comes from killing and aggression which makes the world darker and more chaotic. On the flip side, a low-chaos run by taking non-lethal approaches leads to a more optimistic and peaceful world. This system greatly enhances replay value, and the desire to see endings and moral decisions.
