Daud is quite similar to Corvo–the protagonist of the first game–and while there are some variations in the way he moves and engages in combat, the unique gameplay feel of the original game is retained well. The DLC offers a lot of choices however it is limited in scope, which is understandable.

It features three missions where you will visit Coldridge Prison again, along with areas that have been significantly redesigned. Revealing more will spoil the story, but I would say that there’s a lot of playtime here if you decide to play stealthily.

"The plot of the DLC seems to be its weakest part because you also have to play the first one to understand what’s going on."

The plot of the DLC seems to be its weakest part because you also have to play the first one to understand what’s going on. That’s highly recommended though as you will get a basic idea of Daud’s backstory and his motivations. In case, you need a refresher, Daud killed the empress Corvo was supposed to protect in the original game.

In the prison level, you will encounter a guard who is about to be executed for letting Corvo escape, and this is where the game’s freedom of choice comes in; you can save him or do nothing. What you do in the game is extremely vital though so just like the main game, it would be better if you can just avoid killing people.

Stealth is where the game shines a lot. I had a lot of issues with the Blink power which allows you to teleport small distances, and while it makes it difficult to fully enjoy the experience of sneaking around by increasing the pacing, some players may find it really useful for making those fast getaways.

The second mission sees you in a fetch quest to proceed to the last mission, which is set in a creepy mansion with formidable enemies. This is where Arkane’s expertise shines a lot, as it is most definitely one of the best levels I have ever played when it comes to the pure sense of dread you get while exploring.

"The Brigmore Witches DLC adds a bunch of unique content, and extends that Dishonored gameplay you have come to love."

Everything else is quite similar to the vanilla game. Daud has some new powers like Pull, which pulls enemies closer to him. Overall, it’s not radically different then what we have come to expect, but there’s some variation to be found in the DLC.

In my review of the main game, I lamented on the fact that the game didn’t have a lot of missions and while they were well designed, it could have used a few more missions. Chalk it down to lack of time or something else, but if these DLCs were incorporated in the main game, we would have definitely seen some perfect scores being thrown around for the game.

The Brigmore Witches DLC adds a bunch of unique content, and extends that Dishonored gameplay you have come to love. Although, there are only three missions here, there’s quite a bit of replay value that can be extracted due to the amount of choice offered by the game.

This game was reviewed on the PC.

Earlier today, twitter feeds from both Bethesda Studios and Dishonored alluded to a full reveal of pics and specs for the much-anticipated upcoming Dishonored DLC, Brigmore Witches.

The Brigmore Witches will not surprisingly be black magic practitioners, which some of them summoning and controlling minions to throw in Daud’s path. Daud, a main antagonist of the main story line if Dishonored, found himself in the lead role of the game’s second DLC, The Knife of Dunwall. So far all that’s known about The Brigmore Witches is that it will pick up where The Knife of Dunwall left off, concluding Daud’s story.

Dishonored’s twitter page further announced two days ago that the first shot at playing The Brigmore Witches would come to those at Quake Con 2013. QuakeCon is a free-to-all bring your own computer event held annually in Dallas, Texas, in which gamers come to play, compete and preview their favorite games and series’. This year’s QuakeCon is slated to take place August 1-4.

Hopefully not too long after Brigmore Witches will be available to all.
