Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The variety of the player’s tactics is, as we’ve discussed, immense in Dishonored and Arkane Studios’ latest developer diary takes us through the team’s design ethic as choice was placed high on the agenda – even to the point where the team is calling it ‘first assassination game where you don’t have to kill anybody.’

Of course most of us will take advantage of the killing tools at Corvo Atano’s disposal and of further interest to those of us into all things clever and gory will be interested to see how Corvo’s powers can be combined to devastating effect, as rats are turned into self guiding trip mines and passing guards used as a means to plunge four storeys and walk away unscathed.

Dishonored will be available on 12 October 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
