Dishonored dev defends loading screens: 'I actually have a soft spot for all that'

“People think it’s an improvement that we got rid of loading screens,” Smith said, “but honestly I think a break between one area and the next where you feel like, ‘OK, that is behind me, I’m in a new pristine area,’ and also being able to do the tips as part of the world-building, the art and the little in-fiction notes? I actually have a soft spot for all that.”

Wow, has it already been 14 years since the first Dishonored?

What I remember most is getting this DLC pack or something and regretting it big time. If I remember right, it gave me some or all of the powers early in the game. I felt like maybe progression would have been a lot better without that. But I loved my time with the game. It’s even installed right now as a game I mean to get to before trying its sequels.
