Player freedom is one of the key design philosophies of developer Arkane Studios in their upcoming first person action game Dishonored, and they've implemented this in gameplay through an array of supernatural and gadget abilities.

Titled "Creative Kills", the clip showcases some of the clever ways that players can manipulate the game's poor unsuspecting AI in ways that go far beyond the trusty old point-weapon-pull-trigger method.
