Being able to have your targets forced to work as slaves in their own mines is the best thing I've ever heard and got me more pumped about the possibilities of this game than any of those powers combined.

I'm very interested in this game but I wish they hadn't revealed so many alternate ways to complete the objectives (the non-lethal method of dealing with the two targets specifically).

Multiple trailers? This feels like a direct reaction to all of the action focused trailer backlash from e3.

Love the Thief nod at the end. The single strum of the autoharp as he fires the distraction and enters the street.

This.

In Deus Ex I usually mixed up stealth and direct, sometimes due to my incompetence, but not always. It depended on how I felt towards the different factions. I hope stealth and action aren't exclusive, say by upgrade pathways here.

Wow... Finally a game that has some thought put into it! Bethesda's Version of Hitman looks very very interesting. Games that give the player choices like these have crazy replay value. I will be busy playing both Hitman Absolution & Dishonored since they release only a month apart. Very Excited!!

One in the same. Both their names/logos will be on the game. I wasn't trying to not give credit where credit is due. Thanks for pointing that out I guess...

I dig everything except that animal possession stuff. just seems it would take me out of the stealth element since you are essentially cheating.

I'm super pumped for this game. Awesome art style, awesome game mechanics. Hope the experience lives up! Really impressed by the detail that even the targets are in dynamic places. Very cool.

knowing that ALL killing is optional - and more importantly, that that option is potentially interesting to play, and not a boring crouchfest - is probably the most interesting thing about this game, I think.

Although I feel the "thorough player" play through while the most work, sounds to be the most satisfying. I love in games like this, Fallout, and the Elder Scrolls that when you choose to take the indirect route and go the extra mile (like making the slave owners work in their own mines) and you get see the people who you had dealt with come back later in the game. Even if it is as simple as you walking around the mine and notice two slaves who are pleading and trying to convince the guards that they are actually the owners. If that happens, it will absolutely make me want to do those extra quests just to get that payoff in the end.

Going to approach this on my first playthrough the same way I've done with the Deus Ex games. In-character; stealthy as long as it's practical, talky when it's the best way to solve a problem, and violence when the rest isn't worth the trouble.
