With "Dishonored 2" being the one of the highly-acclaimed games released this year, the PC version was rife with numerous technical issues, sparking a lot of complaints from PC gaming fans. It was a good thing that director Harvey Smith came up with the patches that fixed around 100 issues in the game.
In an interview with Glixel, Smith addressed the PC issues, saying that the team did a lot "extensive" testing. However, the final release was still riddled with issues.
"There were certain combinations of things that we just didn't expect, despite extensively testing the game; very high-end CPUs with low-end GPUs, and older drivers, things like that," said the "Dishonored 2" director. "I'm a PC gamer. There is nothing like running on a super high-end PC. But it's also the most varied platform to support. It's way, way more complicated than consoles."
The issues in the PC version of "Dishonored 2" include low or unstable framerates to blurry graphics to mouse sensitivity issues.
In related news, Smith was also asked if Meagan Foster from "Dishonored 2" would become a playable character in whatever upcoming DLCs Bethesda would be coming up with. Smith didn't want to confirm nor deny anything, but he did agree that "Meagan's a popular character."
"In terms of representation, a number of people have told me, 'I'm so happy you have a character who is lesbian or bi'--more accurately, bi, I think, but mostly lesbian," Smith added. "And just a character who is a person of color. It's very meaningful that people can look into games and see characters in leadership positions who are handled well, who are interesting people first and foremost."
Other news involves Bethesda still planning to release a content update that will include a New Game plus mode.
