At this year's QuakeCon, AusGamers was invited behind closed doors to check out Dishonored from Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks, and walked away honoured to have been privy to such a showing.

Dishonored is a game you should be vesting your interest in for its fostered breaking of gameplay and development traditions, alongside its ultra cool setting and equally compelling narrative. The game looks ultra-fresh, and very, very polished, even at this early stage in development, and super chaotic in what it offers in the way of emergent gameplay stemming from player-choice, as opposed to scripted, or random sequences.
