Tutorial:

(NOTE: be sure to check the rules for the DaudHonored categories before you start running.)

(NOTE: follow either KoD or BW, depending on whether you need Pull or more start items)

1. Go to `SteamApps\common\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\CookedPCConsole`

2 Make a copy of `DishonoredGameFull_P.upk`

3. (KoD) Rename the `DishonoredGameFull_P_Copy.upk` you just made to `DLC06_Dishonored1_P.upk`

3. (BW) Rename the `DishonoredGameFull_P_Copy.upk` you just made to `L_DLC07_Dishonored1_P.upk`

4. (KoD) Open `Dishonored\DishonoredGame\DLC\PCConsole\DLC06\DishonoredUI.ini`

4. (BW) Open `Dishonored\DishonoredGame\DLC\PCConsole\DLC07\DishonoredUI.ini`

5. (KoD) Replace `start DLC06_DishonoredGameFull_P` with `start DLC06_Dishonored1_P`

5. (BW) Replace `start L_DLC07_GameFull_P` with `start L_DLC07_Dishonored1_P`

6. Start Dishonored, go to MISSIONS -> DLC and choose KoD or BW depending on which one you've done.

7. The main menu will seemingly "restart", go New Game and if you pause the game, if you see Daud or "Exit KoD/BW", you're good to go

8. (BW) !! Refer to the technical difficulties at the bottom of the guide to fix crashes. This step is important for both the startup and late Tower crashes.

--------------------------------------------------

Notes / Known issues:

- Certain elevators don't work with Daud.



- You can only equip Blink after the Quick Access-wheel is openable.



- The Void Valker's Arsenal DLC bonecharms after waking up crash your game upon pickup.



- Character "teams" are inverted

...meaning that Corvo's enemies are now your allies, and his allies your enemies.

Corvo's allies behave normally to you, but they turn against you much easier than with Corvo.

Related issues:

| You can no longer land on Samuel's head to avoid fall damage.

| Samuel turns against you when he's seeing that you're carrying Sokolov.



--------------------------------------------------

Fixes / workarounds for some of the above mentioned issues:



- You can only equip Blink after the Quick Access-wheel is openable:

The Quick-Access wheel is enabled by picking up a heatlh or mana potion.

This can be done multiple ways depending on which route you choose after waking up. Refer to runs of this category for examples.



- Samuel turns against you when he's seeing that you're carrying Sokolov.

While carrying Sokolov, throw and Blink (or the other way around) Sokolov into the cutscene.



--------------------------------------------------

Tips & tricks:

- You can skip certain killing animations / slowdowns by using Summon Assasin and aiming the power at the target. Useful if you skip the sword in the sewers.

- Doing this guide the Brigmore Witches way, you can use Pull in a category like 100% or All Collectibles to pick up objects from far away or out of bounds.

--------------------------------------------------

Technical difficulties:

- The Brigmore Witches way crashes on New Game:

Explanation:

| The Brigmore Witches, when playing it normally, checks for your Knife of Dunwall saves so it can continue with your equipment, pickups and chaos state. The dialog asking you to choose whether you want to continue with your saves is simply non-existent in the Dishonored main menu file.

This issue is non-existent if you've never played KoD either normally, or this way.

Fix:

| Go to /Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/<yourID>/205100/... and delete your Kod (DLC06) .sav save files.



- The Brigmore Witches way crashes at The Dunwall Tower when ending the mission:

Explanation:

| Both ways of playing the game as Daud involve playing the main game in the DLC. The mission names accross the main game and DLCs are universal. In the DishonoredUI.ini configuration file for each DLC, there's an 'm_MissionNumber' variable declaring which mission number to start from. This value is 10 for KoD and 15 for BW. With KoD, you barely make it with enough mission names. With BW, you run out of possible mission names by the time you want to end the Tower mission, and as such, the end mission screen cannot show a mission name and crashes the game.

Fix:

| None so far. Needs experimenting with mission numbers in ini files.
