Something I think is interesting is that the cure to the rat plague was the combination of Sokolov and Piero's elixirs. Sokolov's healed the body, and Piero's restored the mana/soul. So the plague itself might have been partially magic, given the fact that you can summon rats seemingly out of nowhere with a supernatural power.

[@lettucego1818]

Granny rags?

[@dmitrijpaulauskas4426]

I mean anything from pandyssia has some sort of magic to it

[@connoranderson7432]

I think it’s more that Sokolov was aiming to cure the symptoms of the plague whereas Piero was trying to combat the mental degradation and loss of cognitive abilities. Once they put both their formulas together they were able to cure the plague and even reverse the effects in weepers who were thought to be terminal at that stage previously.

[@thangnghiem4229]

Indeed, the plague rat was caused by the rat swarm that summoned by the lonely rat boy

[@BlossomPathOnStage15]

It was kinda imply as the story goes that all the... well most of the Loyalist are coward (except Samuel he's the best character willingly betray them immediately after they planned to poison Corvo). I mean they all send Corvo to do all their dirty works and take all the credits for it. And in all chaos route whether Corvo choose kills or neutralise they will always betray him.

[@MorkerBob]

@@BlossomPathOnStage15 cecelia and samuel were always my favorites

[@Queen3210]

@@BlossomPathOnStage15 late response to your comment, but I'd say it's less of the Loyalists 'taking the credit for Corvo's work' and more of the Loyalists 'reaping the benefits of Corvo's work'. Corvo was set to take the fall once the Loyalists opted to take power for themselves, so essentially Corvo became their fall guy. In regards to the Loyalists being cowards, I'm not entirely sure I agree. I'd definitely say that Trevor and, to an extent, Martin were cowards for sure. Not sure where I stand on Havlock regarding cowardice, but he was certainly an opportunist. But I do agree that Samuel was the best of them all, which is why I always dread reaching the final mission on High Chaos.

[@pasaniusventris4113]

1. i enjoy how the world changes in response to your actions. people are angrier, emily in particular responds with some very disturbing dialogue, and the plague spreads more because there's more dead bodies for the rats to feed off of. 2. being nonviolent and going for ghost seems to fit in with the idea of a protector rather than an avenger. i like the idea of someone who isn't sinking down to the level everyone else is and just trying to help his daughter.

Hell yeah! Thank you for checking it out. Dishonored 2 will be a few weeks out, but we'll definitely back to it. 😃

[@Palmieres]

While I'm curious about the rest of the world I'm also very afraid to leave the intimacy of the Isles. What drew me to this world was how personal and close a generic story about the assassination of an Empress became. I'm very attached to Corvo in particular, and I couldn't get into Daud's story that much because it lacked that intimacy I loved so much. The second game, playing as Emily and witnessing her realize her training escapades were still not letting her see the empire as it is, was just as compelling. Navigating the world of Dishonoured is breathtaking and incredibly immersive _because_ you don't need to expand it too much. There is detail and depth in every every design, in every song, in every conversation you overhear; a cultural and social stamp that you can't misidentify when comparing it to other equally distinct but similar game worlds. If there are to be more games in the Dishonoured world, they need to be crafted with as much love and dedication as those we got so far. I don't want this world ruined so it can make more money. I want this gothic, slightly musty but beautiful industrial universe to remain connected to the sea, to the grime and harshness of a culture so enriched by it's depressing erosion.

honestly while i love death of the outsider for its gameplay, the fact that the goal was to humanize the outsider, this completely indifferent being outside of time and space itself, was kinda... dumb, he shouldve stayed this enigmatic, untouchable force who was the essence of pretty much everything from bleeding out in a dark alleyway to getting your favorite toy for your birthday

I really feel like a spin off game which starts from the highest chaos ending would be wild. I can already think of the premise A broken Corvo wanders an unnamed continent endlessly, hunted to the end of his end of the world by overseers. He either escapes forever, unseen by his pursuers, or he leaves trail of corpses and blood, a lesson to teach them that he should not be found perhaps he learns his lesson, finds peace and turns himself in, where he is quietly hung on a distant island, or perhaps he is captured like a dog, made a public display and slaughtered on the chopping block, payment for the bodies left in his wake.

Just gonna point out, even in Dishonored 1, Emily is explicitly aware of Corvo as her father, (she even makes a drawing of Corvo that calls him "Daddy") its also heavily implied that behind closed doors they actually lived like a regular family, but Emily doesn't explicitly call Corvo any fatherly terms because of his lack of nobility and the threat that poses to the throne. (despite functionally every character Corvo meets being pretty clearly aware of it) She's just intentionally keeping it hidden as a facade. Not that doing so exactly makes much sense when she makes one of the drawings and when everyone Corvo meets being pretty aware that Emily is his daughter.
