Dishonored is a first-person stealth-based game/immersive sim developed by Arkane Studios. It is the first entry in the eponymous series. It is set in an alternate world resembling Steampunk Victorian London, with gameplay resembling a mix of Thief, Deus Ex, BioShock, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay with an artstyle done by Half-Life 2's art director.You play as Corvo Attano, the bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles, who has just returned from a diplomatic mission to neighboring countries, seeking help in dealing with the city of Dunwall's ongoing epidemic of a deadly, rat-borne plague. Unfortunately, the Empress is killed by unidentified assassins at the beginning of the game, while Corvo is framed by the corrupt Royal Spymaster Hiram Burrows, who captures the Empress' young daughter Emily and installs himself as Lord Regent. Six months later, on the eve of Corvo's execution, a group of loyalists opposing the new Lord Regent arranges for his escape, while a mysterious being called "the Outsider" visits him in his dreams to grant Corvo supernatural powers. With his newfound freedom and powers, Corvo dons a horrific mask designed to strike terror into Lord Regent and his cronies and carves a path of terror through Dunwall. His actions, whether merciful or bloodthirsty, will decide his path — and the fate of all who live within the city.Released in North America on October 9, 2012 on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The UK and Australian release dates were October 12 and 11, respectively. In 2016, as a prelude to the game's sequel, Dishonored: Definitive Edition an updated port on Playstation 4 and Xbox One was released.Four pieces of Downloadable Content have been released: Dunwall City Trials is a series of challenge missions in Normal and Hard mode, intended to challenge experienced players in every kind of gameplay. Released on December 11 for $4.99 (400 Microsoft points) in North America and on December 19 in Europe, it consists of 10 challenge maps/trials that test and track the player's combat, stealth and mobility skills, such as an arena battle against AI enemies, timed races, and a gravity-defying run of drop assassinations. The DLC features a new set of achievements/trophies and a global online leaderboard. The next two DLCs form a two-part storyline focusing on Daud, the leader of the Empress' assassins, and tell Another Side, Another Story that takes place between Corvo's escape from prison and his final confrontation with Daud. At six missions, the DLC is two thirds the size of the main game and contains a Sequel Hook for Dishonored 2: The Knife of Dunwall opens as Daud's Whalers carry out what should have been a routine job: subduing Corvo and killing the Empress. Six months later, Daud has had plenty of time to reflect on his actions and realizes the repercussions of said "routine job". Contacted again by the Outsider, Daud is given an ultimatum: unravel the mystery of the name "Delilah" before his time runs out. The Brigmore Witches picks up immediately after Knife of Dunwall: Learning the secret of Delilah, Daud and his Whalers soon come up against a coven of witches and race to stop a sinister scheme that would shake the very foundations of Dunwall. The pack also adds more features and, if the player has a save file from The Knife Of Dunwall, Daud's abilities, weapons, choices, and Chaos level carry over. Void Walker's Arsenal is a compilation pack of all the Pre-Order Bonus content originally only available through pre-ordering the game at select retail outlets. Announced on May 3, 2013, it was released on May 14 for $4/320 Microsoft Points.A Game of The Year Edition was released in October 2013, containing all four of the DLC packs. Just like the original release, a Themed Tarot Deck was available as a Pre-Order Bonus. The sequel, Dishonored 2, was released in November 2016. | |

Applied Phlebotinum | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_116a941b | comment |
Applied Phlebotinum: Whale oil. Apparently, this universe has a way of treating it to turn it into the most fuel-efficient substance known to man. By the time the game begins, it's used to power everything from ships to cars to stilt-walkers to lights to guns. It might have something to do with the "whales" in this world not being very much like our own. The most funny thing is: No one knows how it works. It doesn't help that there's boatloads of hinting that the 'whales' are magical. The use of whale oil as an essential resource is also something of a Historical In-Joke: by the mid-19th century, whale oil lamps were cheap to make, but whale oil itself was expensive. Companies would sell lamps with a small quantity of oil for cheap or even give them away for free, driving out other providers of artificial lighting with a product that burned cleaner and brighter, but turned out to be very expensive to maintain. This coincided with the dawn of Yankee capitalism, which is a running theme of the game. [YMMV] | |

Shop Fodder | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_127027b1 | comment |
Shop Fodder: There's a lot of things to scavenge, but only a few of them are actually straight-up coins. Just as often, you'll find valuables like maps, refined whale oil jugs, copper wires and rare feathers. You don't need to trade them in at a vendor, either; for player convenience they are instantly converted to cash as you pick them up. At least in Piero's case, the game justifies this in a letter from Havelock: he uses some of these objects as materials for his inventions, so by giving them to him, he needs less money to get the materials. | |

Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: If you opt for open combat rather than stealth, then the High Chaos ending will be this, as there will be significant more enemies and a more hostile environment along the way. High Chaos stealth, however, is the opposite, as cutting a guard's throat is much faster than knocking him out, and there are a ton of very useful weapons and powers (guns, grenades, incendiary missiles, springwire traps, Devouring Swarm, Shadow Kill, etcetera) that are invariably lethal to your enemies. | |

Antepiece | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: The basics of the game's rat mechanics are environmentally taught to the player as they go through the sewers during Corvo's prison escape, before they first face guards who could be harmed by them. First, some guards who can't be reached by the player get eaten alive in a scripted event, which establishes the rats' hostility. Then, a room in which the rats are swarmed around the wheel used for exiting the room will attack the player unless they are redirected with bodies, and they will not feed upon the bodies that are elevated above the ground level. These body mechanics are important to note for players who are avoiding killing, as not storing unconscious bodies where they will be safe by rats is an easy way to accidentally get a kill. | |

Plot-Triggering Death | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_13e1c444 | comment |
Plot-Triggering Death: Naturally, the story kicks off with the murder of Empress Jessamine that leaves Corvo Dishonored. Discussed and averted in-universe. As Dunwall's decline sharply picked up the pace around the time that Jessamine died, some people believe everything started with the assassination and need to be reminded the rat plague was already ravaging the city beforehand note Indeed, the prologue scene features Jessamine describing Dunwall as already at the breaking point from the plague.. | |

Madness Mantra: A letter you found right next to the empress in the void is just written with "YOU KILLED HER" over and over. This is also a Continuity Nod to the main game's plot, where, when Corvo first meets the Outsider, the letter next to the dead Empress repeats "YOU CANNOT SAVE HER". | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_15264ac9 | comment |
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: A High Chaos run leads to lots and lots of realistic consequences. All those murders in your wake mean lots of dead bodies for the rats to feast on, spreading their plague with them as they go. The chaos created by carving a bloody swath through the city leads to people panicking, which in turn leads to the guards becoming even more repressive in the hopes of maintaining some semblance of law and order (and presumably because they're afraid of being next). And your allies are, understandably, flat out terrified of you, and their wanting you out of the picture as soon as you have outlived your usefulness becomes much more understandable. At the end of it all, the power vaccuum that you violently created, combined with all that unrest boiling over, leads to Dunwall's total collapse - especially if you're unable to save Emily. The final boss is hard to call such, given how easily they go down. But then you realize that you're a highly-trained supernatural assassin, while Havelock's only human, and even he realizes this. He does at least make an attempt if you pick up the key without touching him. Hiram intentionally brought the plague to Dunwall, hoping it would kill off the poor and homeless. However he failed to anticipate the rats inevitably multiplying, and the quarantines failing. Its not like the rats were just going to go away on their own or that people, sick or not, would want to stay in plague ridden areas. The boss fight against Daud; while the both of you are supernatural assassins, the both of you are still human and Corvo can marely Blink in front of him and instantly kill him in a single strike, skipping the boss fight, if the player is so inclined. | |

Swarm of Rats | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_18729bf8 | comment |
Swarm of Rats: There's a lot of ferocious rats in this game, which seem to be the source of the plague. A swarm of rats can also be summoned to devour your enemies. Rat swarms tend to move as if they have a hive mind, and they love to chew on dead bodies. Learning to use dead bodies to distract vicious rats is just one of the tricks you need to pass. It's notable that these rats are not native to Gristol, but are a larger, smarter and more ferocious variety from the Pandyssian Continent. Also notable is that the amount of rat swarms you have to deal with has a direct positive correlation to how many people you kill - the more corpses, the more rats, which in turn forces you to deal with more Weepers because the plague is spreading. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: Check the character pages and you'll notice just about everyone has very similar long faces, high cheekbones, and sunken cheeks. The Watsonian explanation is that this is just what people from Dunwall look like as the Serkonan Corvo and Daud have notably different features. The Doylist explanation concerns research Arkane's character designers did into English face shapes while the game was still set in a steampunk London; this was carried over into the final game without much change. Most NPCs who aren't at the Hound Pits look the same. There seems to be one model for most male commoners, female commoners, male nobles, and female nobles. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Normal Rats would certainly not be capable of stripping a body to nothingness in seconds unless there were a LOT more than twenty or so. The rats are stated to be a foreign species specifically adapted to be swarming predators. Also, they were found on a forbidden continent with other nightmarish creatures that supposedly make being eaten alive by rats seem fun in comparison. Then again, if whales are different in Dishonored's world, maybe Dishonored's rats aren't normal either? According to this game, choking someone for about 3 seconds is enough to make them instantly fall asleep... which may actually be Truth in Television, as the other Wiki states "A well applied blood choke may lead to unconsciousness in a matter of seconds" | |

Anti-Magic: Stopping time and slitting someone's throat sure is fun, right? Well if the target was also touched by the Outsider they can resist. Fortunately, it works both ways. Interestingly, the other powers like Devouring Swarm and Wind Blast aren't no-sold. Daud even brings this up, noting that he and Corvo will have a fight no one else can. The Overseers have special music boxes that can cancel out the powers granted by the Outsider wherever the music can be heard. One audio log raises the question of whether or not the music boxes' effects are themselves magical. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Edmond Roseburrow dedicated himself to progress and technology, and discovered Trans. That discovery launched a massive Industrial Revolution and the true start of the modern age in the Isles... and also ushered in horrible abuse thanks to The Lord Regent's charming regime. Roseburrow took it about as well as you'd expect. Hiram Burrows decided that an outbreak of plague would be the best way to Kill the Poor in Dunwall. He was right; it wiped out at least half the city and there was nothing he could do afterward that could contain or get rid of it. | |

Darkest Africa | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_19d8d325 | comment |
The Pandyssian continent is mostly unknown, but is probably a good fit for the non-Western world pre-colonization, particularly Darkest Africa given what descriptions we have of it. Though given that most of the notes focus on the exotic plant and animal life, it's also a good fit for Australia's rich and strange wildlife. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The (exquisite) trailers don't quite match up with what actually happens in the game. You escape prison before the Outsider decides to visit you in your sleep and give you magic powers, climbing steep rooftops is sadly not a thing and escaping through windows would have made some missions considerably easier. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: There's only two of them this time around. There is also an after-credits scene that changes appropriately according to Chaos level. Low Chaos: Even though Corvo doesn't know that Daud redeemed himself by saving Emily from Delilah, he spares him anyway. The Stinger shows Daud laying his sword atop the Empress' tomb. High Chaos: Corvo ignores Daud's pleas for mercy. Daud's redemption was for nothing. The Stinger shows the cremation of Daud's body in the Flooded District; if Billie was spared in Knife Of Dunwall, she will appear among the mourners. | |

The Ghost | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Dr. Galvani. You can go to his office twice, you find various logs he's written on studying the plague, but the man himself never shows up. Some animals are mentioned but never appear. Kingsparrow feathers can be found, but the actual birds can't (presumably because possession would allow flight, which would be broken). The mysterious Whales don't appear (alive) either, meaning possession can't reveal their secrets. A live whale makes an appearance in The Knife of Dunwall. Conveniently, the protagonist of that scenario lacks Corvo's possession ability. | |

Villain Ball: At the beginning of Back Alley Brawl's infinite 13th wave, Daud appears and stops time for a private duel just like in the main game. However, being frozen in time makes every other enemy currently spawned (usually around 10 in total, including Tallboys and his own men) easy pickings. Thanks for the free kills, Daud! | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: This game has a lot of candidates for the trope, but so far the top contenders are 'proximity landmine made of springloaded razorwire slammed right onto your face' and 'devoured by magically summoned swarm of enraged plague rats.' A trailer called "Creative Kills" consists of a selection of ways you can cause these, including using a combination of the Slow Time and Possession powers to cause an enemy to shoot himself or a fellow guard...after the bullet has already left his gun. Some of Corvo's non-lethal neutralizations may seem like this. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The game's world has a plague running rampant, insta-kill Disintegrator Gates forcing average citizens to stay in the infected areas, infected areas filled with Weepers who cry blood and attack other people, and the wealthy using their money to throw extravagant parties rather than using it to solve any problems. The whole world is like this, really. Civilization, as far as we know, only exists on a handful of islands out in the middle of the ocean, separated from the "Pandyssian Continent" by a treacherous stretch of water that people have only recently begun to navigate. The continent itself is uncharted, unexplored and suspected by most to be either barren or teeming with murderous monsters (though there are coastal settlements that tend to have everyone in them go insane). This paranoid suspicion of all things outside of the Isles Empire is shared by a good part of the population; this is a world where people are scared. Even the state religion, the "Abbey of the Everyman", is based on the belief that the Universe is an unknowable Lovecraftian expanse, "swarming with all manner of dangerous spirits and forces, most of which are hostile to man’s existence", and foremost among these is the Outsider, and in death/afterlife, there is no reward, but plenty of punishment. This bleakness even extends to the academia of the world, Sokolov's writing on cosmology state that the world is "adrift in a sea of howling chaos" and "all heavenly bodies orbit a devouring core" (possibly the Void, or a supermassive black hole in a perfectly mundane description of a galaxy.) which will, in time (a few thousand lifetimes, a flicker in cosmological terms), consume every star and all of their planets. The last fact may sound less bleak once you realize that he describes a galaxy and a possible ultimate fate the universe. Crapsaccharine World: For the wealthy, it's more this kind of world. They have nothing to do but gossip, bully and threaten to kill each other, and indulge in soulless, materialistic parties where they do much the same. Becomes A World Half Full if you get the good/low chaos ending. A new golden age begins as the conspirators are brought to justice, Sokolov and Piero cure the rat plague, Dunwall rebuilds, and Emily grows up to become a benevolent ruler. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: A "Clean Hands" playthrough will, among other things, see you condemn a priest to living in the gutters, catching the plague, and turning into a Weeper; having two men hideously disfigured and sent into a life of slavery; and handing an unconscious woman over to a man who says he's going to keep her locked up for the rest of her life. Corvo may be on the side of right but do not cross him. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_22071825 | comment |
Then there's the conflict between Slackjaw and Granny Rags. Slackjaw is the leader of a criminal gang that specializes in brewing and selling watered-down elixir to scalp desperate families and pick on locals who can't defend themselves, while Granny Rags is a murderous, cannibalistic, Axe-Crazy Humanoid Abomination that doesn't really think twice about spreading the plague to get what she wants. Interestingly, the player is initially led to believe that Granny is the gray and Slackjaw is the black since she gets a "visit" from his men early that Corvo can "solve" for a rune with her repeating how men like those come by quite often. | |

If the player has imported a save from a High Chaos playthrough, the fight ends with Daud being disarmed and then killed with a single slash to the throat - whereupon he wakes up, breathless and panicky. | |

Good Bad Bugs | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_24c46ba2 | comment |
Engaging in either Slackjaw or Granny Rag's quest lines in the beginning of the game will force you into a confrontation near the end where you normally have to kill one of them. This will invalidate both Ghost and Clean Hands. There are certain ways of getting around it, but they're very tricky (and may in fact be straight-up Good Bad Bugs). Annoying for players going for two already finicky achievements. | |

Karma Meter | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: There is a "Chaos" stat that basically tallies how many people you kill. This will directly affect what kind of ending you get and the state of the next stage. The in-universe justification is that more bodies means more rats, and more rats means more plague. Indeed, leave enough dead bodies around, and rats come a-feastin' (but the ability that turns the bodies into dust doesn't help). The Chaos meter also determines how much rioting there is - again, it makes sense that the guard will be tighter and more violent the more people, especially guards, are dead. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Creative use of your powers can lead to some truly spectacular ways of taking out Mooks such as slowing down time when someone shoots at you only to possess your assailant and make them stand in front of their own bullet; however, these are needlessly theatrical and horrifically mana-draining ways to kill one enemy, and being stealthy is ultimately the safest and most efficient thing to do in almost any given situation. | |

No-Harm Requirement: In order for the player to get the "Clean Hands" achievement/trophy, they must go through the entire game without killing anyone, including their assassination targets. Downplayed by the requirement for the good ending: they can kill up to 141 enemies before the Chaos level gets high enough to lock them out of the good ending. Killing rats, river krusts, and wolfhounds don't count for either, and the number of kills in the final mission doesn't affect Chaos. | |

In exchange for this, Slackjaw's gang will dispose of the Pendleton twins for you - albeit non-lethally. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: While High Overseer Campbell seems to be a man of unrepentant vice, the regular Overseers seem to be less corrupt than the members of the City Watch and are more or less people indoctrinated into beliefs of The Abbey. Early on, you can see them being taught about The Abbey's basic principles much like a theology lesson. | |

Electric Torture: Rothwild set up a chair with wire attachments in his slaughterhouse's meat locker for precisely this purpose, using it on stubborn or disloyal employees, shocking them until they are willing to sign contracts pledging to never try any collective bargaining methods. Daud can throw a couple of characters in the chair to get information out of them including Rothwild himself. | |

Kick the Dog: Exploring Delilah's mansion, players can find an unconscious Overseer whom the witches have tortured.

A note on the table reveals that the remains belonged to his friend, another Overseer. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Many options are less interesting than "possessing a man into walking into his own bullet" or other Rasputinian Deaths, but are far more useful and efficient. Corvo's pistol, crossbow, sword and grenades all do what they were designed to do pretty much as advertised and generally don't require turning every map inside out searching for Runes, expending costly amounts of mana, or making lots of noise. Their ammunition is also cheap and readily accumulated just about anywhere, especially with the Scavenger bone charm. In the subject of spells, the first one you get is Blink, a short teleportation that allows you to move without being detected. It may not be as impressive as possessing an enemy, slowing time or summoning voracious rats, but it's very likely to be the spell you use the most. It helps that it consumes no mana unless you use it in quick succesion. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: "Murder is bad" is a good aesop in theory, and the game does provide opportunities to defeat people nonviolently... but the main targets still need to be taken care of, and some of the non-lethal and supposedly more ethical ways to take them down are arguably worse than murder, such as selling someone into sexual slavery. Some of them are also guaranteed to be killed later down the line, but you're a good person because you didn't pull the trigger. This aesop is further broken by how the chaos score works. Basically, you get different endings depending on how many people you killed. The thing is, you can kill innocent people and still have a low chaos score. You get high chaos by killing too many people. note The exact numbers aren't known but players have estimated you can kill about 20% of the enemies before getting a high chaos score, meaning you can kill 1 in 5 people you encounter and still be called a good person by the game. | |

Hand Sliding Down the Glass: If Morgan Pendleton is killed by way of sabotaging the steam room, he'll run up to the window into the room and bang on the glass before he dies, his hand sliding down the window. | |

Non-Lethal K.O. | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_41d128e4 | comment |
Non-Lethal K.O.: Favored method of neutralizing enemies for pacifists is to choke the enemy from behind or using sleep darts. Then there is also the upgraded Arc Pylon which resulted from the combined work of Sokolov and Piero which can do this in a large area. Attacking anyone before the Lord Regent sends Daud's assassins at you will result in Corvo being sent to prison for assault. | |

Zerg Rush: The rats. If you see a group of rats they will swarm you and start biting. The individual rat bite is weak and they are easy to kill, but they are relentless in a group and until you thin the group enough for them to disperse, their damage will add up quickly. | |

Annoying Arrows | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_43f2f606 | comment |
Annoying Arrows: Played with. Regular bolts fired from Corvo's crossbow or Daud's wristbow are by far the weakest weapons in their respective arsenals, namely because a bolt fired from a crossbow the size of a pistol wouldn't be very powerful. Unless you put a bolt directly into your targets' brains or sink it in them while they're unconscious, shooting an enemy three times in the chest will only make them angry. Compared to the pistol, the crossbow not only does less damage per shot, but also reloads slower and arcs over a distance; the only advantages that regular bolts have over pistol rounds is that they can quietly take down enemies and can sometimes be retrieved from enemies or whatever object they lodge themselves in. That being said, Corvo's crossbow makes up for its lack of stopping power with versatility. It can fire two types of specialized ammunition: sleep darts that can knock an enemy unconscious and incendiary bolts that light things on fire. Moreover, the crossbow can also be upgraded to have superior accuracy and range to the pistol, allowing them to pick off enemies at longer ranges, especially when combined with the image magnification lenses on Corvo's mask. Another upgrade, the automatic loading mechanism, essentially turns it into an Automatic Crossbow, completely eliminating one of the weapon's major disadvantages. Enemies that use pistols (higher-ranked Watch officers and most Overseers) are much more common than Assassins, who use wrist-mounted crossbows. On higher difficulties, getting shot at by a pistol will take off a good chunk of your health and knock you back a few feet, while a crossbow bolt fired from an Assassin's wristbow will do less damage and fail to slow you down. However, this is offset by the fact that pistol-wielding enemies take some time lining up their sights before firing off a shot, whereas Assassins can quickly fire at Corvo without stopping for more than a second and can fire again without taking any time to reload. In-universe, this discrepancy has not gone unnoticed: a written report found in the Overseers' workshop notes that the Assassin crossbows they found are inexplicably inferior to those actually being wielded by the Assassins, and suggests that the Overseers stick to using weapons they are more familiar with. In the case of the Tallboys, this trope is completely averted: they wield compound bows that fire deadly incendiary arrows with greater range and power than any other weapon in the game. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Played with. If you get noticed before they recognize you, or if you make some noisy running sound, they often dismiss it as rats or just 'hearing things'. They seemingly have no idea how to replace the trans battery of a wall of light or an arc pylon after you remove it. They also seemingly never bothered to look up. However, the officers in particular, WILL notice if some guards are missing from their post, and they will take over their patrol routes as well. Alerting a guard will cause him to call for help and if you managed to escape, they will actively search for you with their weapons drawn. They will also be alerted by bodies or unconscious guards that you have to hide bodies constantly. Eavesdropping on the guard chatter will reveal that at least some of them are in fact supposed to put whale oil tanks into the devices as part of their duties. | |

Just Ignore It | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_45bdaa0e | comment |
Just Ignore It: This has become the upper-class policy for dealing with the plague. As long as the plague remains isolated to everyone who isn't wealthy and/or noble, they pay no mind to it, and let the government deal with it. This is essentially a national policy mirroring Masque Of The Red Death. Following the Red Death comparison, and given that Corvo can summon armies of plague rats, it is possible to bring the plague to the dinner party of at least one major noble, making it a good deal harder to ignore. | |

Exact Eavesdropping: Averted. Random guards could be seen talking about a girl they met, but chambermaids or personal bodyguards could talk about important information regarding targets. A lot of important talking also happens in private rooms where normally nobody would listen in. Plus, unless using the zoom vision or opening doors, distance or walls will also make it very difficult to properly listen to what others have to say. | |

City Guards: The primary Mooks of the game, in three versions of increasing power and authority. In terms of sympathy they fall somewhere around the middle. They're nearly always at odds with you, and enforcing the corrupt regime. But it's also clear most of them are just normal men doing their jobs and wishing the city gets better. The Heart's random stories also paints them somewhere between a vile criminal and a poor, desperate man that just tries to get by. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Almost by default, especially when Corvo is up against the average guard. When you've been given supernatural powers by a Humanoid Abomination that allows you to do things like summon a Swarm of Rats to eat people alive, there's really no such thing as a fair fight. Also enforced by design: Corvo isn't really equipped to fight several attackers conventionally, so he has to use pragmatism. Attempting to go toe-to-toe with multiple enemies, even if you block and counter perfectly, usually ends up with Corvo getting chipped away by any enemy with a ranged attack while guards swing harmlessly through each other to hurt you. This can be used with your standard weapons as well: most regular enemies will only use a sword. One can run up to you, do a lot a feinting back and forth and making a big show with their weapon, then you can just pull out your crossbow, shoot him in the leg, then stab him to death after he falls to the ground clutching his injury. Or, you can dose him with a sleep dart, let him fall asleep in front of you, then kill him however you please while he's defenseless. | |

Cessation of Existence: Developer Commentary states that what happens to one's soul upon death depends on whether they were dominated by discord or not. Those who were discordant end up wandering about in the Void and end up being devoured. Those who were peaceful and non-discordant just fade away and cease to exist.

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: Invoked by the crappy situation Dunwall is in, as well as by the Outsider himself indirectly: he only ever grants powers to people who interest him, but every single example in the game of a person with magic (including possibly Corvo) seems to abuse these powers heavily rather than using them for decent purposes. The Outsider himself actually doesn't compel them to do this in any way, instead leaving it up to them exactly what they do with them. In fact, should Corvo spare Daud, the assassin who killed the Empress, he will mention that he finds Corvo even more fascinating, because when he had the chance to take his revenge he did not do so. | |

| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: You can come across guards who, rather than talking about all of the puppy-kicking they're looking forward to doing later, are talking about their lives. You can overhear at least one man talking to his fellow guard about a prostitute he's fallen in love with, and how he wants to take her away from that life. If you end up killed in a fight with guards, the last thing you'll hear as you lie on the floor is your killer talking about how you just made the wife of one of his buddies a widow. There's one level where a guard mentions he's working up the courage to propose to his girlfriend, who is a housemaid. A housemaid in the same house he's at. A housemaid you could've conceivably killed two rooms back. A ton of this in the guard bunkhouse. One Overseer has a letter from his male lover assuring him everything is alright, he loves him, and he's not mad about a recent incident.note They were seen in public together and the Overseer covered by throwing homophobic slurs at him. A pair of Overseers very nearly take a City Watch guard's sister to be burned at the stake for being a witch, but he stands up for her despite knowing he won't be shown leniency; Corvo can take out the Overseers and save them. The guard himself has a letter in the post from a friend warning him that someone's taken evidence proving his sister is a witch to the proper authorities, telling him to take her and get out of the city as soon as possible. Though the feeling of guilt over murdering the guards is mitigated a lot if you use the Heart on them and find out that a lot of the guards are sadistic and greedy monsters. For the most part, the Heart gives fairly random mentions to a guard's mindset or past (the vast majority of these are negative), though there are a fair few it will exclusively give kind messages about. Not just with the guards, but with nearly every human enemy you face. The guards are just doing their jobs and hoping they don't get the plague, the Overseers were acquired as children (either taken as orphans, given by parents with too many mouths to feed, or straight up kidnapped) and brainwashed to follow a doctrine (and one book even mentions that those that can't be brainwashed are just killed off), the thugs are just trying to get by the only way they can, and the assassins are just honoring the man who gave them chance and a trade. Very few people are in this to screw people or watch the world burn. | |

Not Completely Useless: Obviously, when you're doing a Stealth Run or Pacifist Run, deadly-inaccurate-and-loud Grenades aren't going to get much use... except against River Krusts, two strengths of which are armoured hides and being placed in tight groups, and which do not count for "no kills" or "no alerts" achievements. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: Played straight with money. Levels are filled with coins and collectible trinkets, if you search hard enough you'll gain much more money than you'll need to buy upgrades and ammo (unless you're really trigger-happy with explosive ammo and grenades), especially if you try a Low Chaos run (much of the buyable stuff is related to lethal tactics). The final level still has money and valuables that can be stolen, but the last shopping opportunity in the game is in the previous level. The only reason to hunt for them is completion's sake. Averted with the runes, since there aren't enough of them to fully level the whole skillset. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Arkane states that Dunwall is based on London circa 1666, just after the Great Fire, during the last parts of the Black Plague — timeshifted to the 19th Century. Culture counterparts range further outside Dunwall, in the rest of the Isles — there's a fantasy Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Africa, Celtic Isles and others, and generous cultural swapping between all of them. Gristol — where Dunwall is and the effective capital of the Isles — is Britain and especially England, while some of the accents and the dominant role it plays have shades of the US and Canada. One of the maps you can see on a table makes Gristol look much like southern New England, with Dunwall occupying the same spot as Newport, Rhode Island. Serkonos is "Greece or Italy" with at least some Spanish, judging on the local names. Corvo's place of origin as well as Daud's. Morley is Scot Ireland. Tyvia is Scandinavia, with — if Sokolov is any indication — at least tinges of Russia. The Isles as a whole — from their advanced technology, relatively small size, and all-encompassing hubris about being the only "civilized" land — are a good fit for the Western world circa the 1800's. The Pandyssian continent is mostly unknown, but is probably a good fit for the non-Western world pre-colonization, particularly Darkest Africa given what descriptions we have of it. Though given that most of the notes focus on the exotic plant and animal life, it's also a good fit for Australia's rich and strange wildlife. | |

Devil, but No God | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_59fe174d | comment |
Devil, but No God: The Abbey of the Everyman views the Outsider as an evil, corrupting influence, but there's no mention of a "good" counterpart in their dogma. In fact the Outsider is closer to serving the functions of both Satan and God - corrupter, inspiration, agent of creation as well as that of destruction, and general observer of the machinations of life with a side of Blue-and-Orange Morality. He gives humans powers to see what they'll do with them, and basically acts as a sort of trickster god rather than an arbiter of morality. | |

Creator Thumbprint: The Half-Life 2 lineage becomes particularly apparent when you look at the shape and architecture of the angular metal guard booths installed around the city as well as the giant metal containment walls in the city. The similarities are even more obvious when compared to the Half-Life 2 beta, which has a similar despair-drenched tone instead of “a normal day in Russia�. | |

Air-Vent Passageway: Justified. You only get to use air vents when you're possessing something the size of a rat. On the flipside of things, you often see external vents on the sides of buildings and you can clamber onto them, using them as a makeshift staircase. Played straight with Dunwall Tower, which has a vent that Corvo can use to enter its interior without resorting to possession. | |

Meaningful Background Event: As part of the Kaldwin's Bridge mission, the player must disable the water floodlights on the bridge approach so that Samuel can extract Corvo after finding his target and they can get away under cover of darkness. If the player looks off over the water after disabling the floodlights, you can see a distant Samuel in his little skiff moving from the position where he dropped Corvo off to where he will pick him up later. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_5bb56482 | comment |
Contractual Boss Immunity: The major boss fights in the game and DLC, Daud, Billie Lurk, and Delilah, are all immune or resistant to the majority of powers and gadgets, and also cannot be one-hit-killed except with stealth attacks. The Torturer also resists most of Corvo's powers and gadgets, though not to the same extent as the other "boss" characters. This is also seen to work both ways, as Corvo is unaffected when Daud uses his own timestop powers, even if you haven't unlocked timestop yourself. Outside of characters empowered by the Outsider, all major antagonists are easy to kill, but heavily protected and hard to reach, similar to a real politician. | |

Magic and Powers | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_5c3626bd | comment |
Magic and Powers: Those Touched by the Outsider develop supernatural abilities, possibly including the following. Blow You Away: "Windblast" creates a blast of wind powerful enough to smash through weak doors and even kill people that have been thrown into a wall. It also reflects projectiles. Demonic Possession: "Possession" lets the user jump inside anything from rats to fish to people, including assassination targets, and control them. You can even jump inside a rat, sneak through a hole in a fence, and then jump back out on the other side. Double Jump: "Agility" allows the user to jump while in the air. Healing Factor: "Vitality" allows the user to have Regenerating Health if upgraded to its second level. No Body Left Behind: Enemies killed with the "Shadow Kill" technique leave behind only a pile of dust, taking away the need to hide them. Summon Magic: The "Devouring Swarm" technique summons a Swarm of Rats to devour or distract enemies. However, if there aren't any enemies in sight, they will attack the caster instead. Daud, in the DLC, is capable of summoning assassins who get to share his powers. Super-Senses: "Dark Vision" gives the user X-Ray Vision and the ability to see other peoples' line of sight. Depending on your brightness setting, it may help or hinder your ability to see in the dark. Teleportation: The "Blink" ability does this at short range. Time Stands Still: "Bend Time" allows the user to either slow or stop the flow of time for a short time. Daud's version of Blink freezes time while it's being aimed, for no cost, so long as you aren't pressing any of the movement buttons, or jump. | |

| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Subverted for Lady Boyle, who is probably the only one Corvo spares not out of spite (as she did not harm him personally, not directly at least), but because it was just easier to get rid of her non-lethally. She is separated from her sisters and held captive by a man who's obsessed with her, potentially for the rest of her life. She does eventually free herself, though, and inherits the man's fortune later. | |

Central Theme | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: For a game with a Revenge plot in promos and tagline, Dishonored is surprisingly layered, especially since much of the themes comes from the gameplay itself: Choices determine who we are and the world we live in, every choice has consequences in big and small ways and ultimately people need to be more aware and responsible to how it affects the people around us. The most important theme is what do people do when they get power over their fellow man? Does power always corrupt or can people choose to be different? Will it always be the case of He Who Fights Monsters or is it possible to be understanding and be merciful, even to the people who harmed you? Likewise, the notion of honor. In a corrupt society, criminals, smugglers and assassins can be more honorable than the lords and ladies who hold power. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: In the opening cutscene of the main game one of Daud's whalers uses Pull to lift Corvo.

Replay Value | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6325aec5 | comment |
Replay Value: The game is actually quite short for an Immersive Sim, clocking in at roughly 6 or so hours and extending to 8 if you do all of the rather limited optional content. That being said, the game is very replayable. You can't unlock and upgrade all your powers on a single run no matter what you do, so the game incentivizes returning to try again with a new suite of powers. Each target has multiple ways of taking them out (scripted or not), and the game makes sure you know that there's multiple ways through a level. There's numerous different kinds of Self-Imposed Challenge, such as not using any powers, or engaging in a Pacifist Run. The game also incentivizes a Ghost run (not ever being seen or leaving behind evidence you were there), and the game world reflects how successful you are at remaining undetected, such as characters mentioning that your targets were assassinated by an unknown assailant instead of "the man in the mask" if you killed them without being seen. Lastly, there's the dichotomy between a low and high chaos playthrough, with stuff as small as the amount of rusty blood on your blade to as large as guard and security presence being affected by how many people you kill. | |

Death World | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_63557923 | comment |
Death World: Every non-domesticated animal life form you encounter can easily kill you. All fish are more akin to piranhas (with a bit of moray eel thrown in) and bite you when you step into nearly any body of water, there are carnivorous rat packs, horrible mollusks called "river krusts" that spit acid gather on the undersides of waterways and it's stated that this is all just the tip of the iceberg. Accounts of the Pandyssian Continent state it's full of even more hostile wildlife, such as porcupines that are poisonous enough to kill you with one sting. People in this world have an "everything wild is trying to kill us!" mentality, mirroring similar 18th-Century European sentiments, except here it's true. | |

Room Full of Crazy | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6941e30b | comment |
Room Full of Crazy: In one of the slums, you can find the apartment of a man who's become dangerously obsessed with visions of the Outsider, scribbling "THE OUTSIDER WALKS AMONG US" all over his walls. At Lady Boyle's Last Party, you can find one of the victims of Granny Rags, with her insane scrawlings all over the wall and a diary note of hers stating of just how bored she is of it all. | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: Although it's not the focus of the story, the world of Dishonored is incredibly hostile towards its human occupants. The world is overrun by bizarre creatures and deep-sea monstrosities, the latter of which humanity relies upon for its energy. The closest thing this place has to a "god" is the Outsider, a Humanoid Abomination who likes to give out Reality Warper powers willy-nilly to random people purely for his own enjoyment. And the only major religion seen in game doesn't even recognize a god or any sort of benevolent divine presence, but merely focuses on opposing the Outsider and combating otherworldly threats to humanity. | |

Uncanny Valley | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6b5a92dc | comment |
Uncanny Valley: Invoked; The aesthetic of Dishonored uses heavy elements of Impressionism, an art movement that was popular in the 19th century, in its design which helps enhance its Victorian-esque Diesel Punk setting greatly. However, this unique artstyle has made the otherwise normal populace of the world have almost distinctly grotesque visages and exaggerated caricaturisations of human anatomy. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: Refreshingly averted in the backstory: magic doesn't work consistently or on command, generally because the Outsider doesn't care to show up and grant his Mark to people he deems uninteresting. Once you do have the Mark, however, magic works swimmingly. There's also the case of the runes and whalebone charms. Runes are ancient artifacts that predate Dunwall itself, having been crafted by a long-gone, Outsider-worshipping civilization millennia ago; people frequently find them washed up on the beach and buried in the riverbed, and nobles keep them as good-luck charms (though they generally bring anything but). Bone charms are made by superstitious whalers to grant them good luck at sea, but generally give people headaches and some even seem to attract plague rats. The implication is that only people marked by the Outsider can use these things. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Edmond Roseburrow, the natural philosopher who discovered how to refine and use whale oil to harness power. He hoped it would lead to a new golden age, but inevitably, his technology was used to create weapons- weapons that, under the tyrannical rule of the Lord Regent were used to oppress and subjugate the populace. Upon seeing this, Roseburrow took one of his new creations, and used it to put a bullet into his brain. During the mission "The Flooded District", a wounded thug tells you where to get a key. In the high chaos version of the mission, you hear a gunshot when you get far enough away from him. Turning back reveals that the thug shot himself. Given who he just fought, what he witnessed, and the amount of rats swarming everywhere, it was for the best. Teague Martin, if you confront him in the High Chaos final level without attacking. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The Draper's Ward level is a huge sprawling city-scape comparable to the Flooded District, with gang territory in separate parts of the map separated by a huge expanse, and then a sewage section. It feels longer than it is in terms of space (unlike Flooded District which was quite large) because of the elaborate side-quests which forces you to move across the map to find important items scattered across different sections. | |

Swiss-Army Weapon | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6dec2f19 | comment |
Regular bolts fired from Corvo's crossbow or Daud's wristbow are by far the weakest weapons in their respective arsenals, namely because a bolt fired from a crossbow the size of a pistol wouldn't be very powerful. Unless you put a bolt directly into your targets' brains or sink it in them while they're unconscious, shooting an enemy three times in the chest will only make them angry. Compared to the pistol, the crossbow not only does less damage per shot, but also reloads slower and arcs over a distance; the only advantages that regular bolts have over pistol rounds is that they can quietly take down enemies and can sometimes be retrieved from enemies or whatever object they lodge themselves in. That being said, Corvo's crossbow makes up for its lack of stopping power with versatility. It can fire two types of specialized ammunition: sleep darts that can knock an enemy unconscious and incendiary bolts that light things on fire. Moreover, the crossbow can also be upgraded to have superior accuracy and range to the pistol, allowing them to pick off enemies at longer ranges, especially when combined with the image magnification lenses on Corvo's mask. Another upgrade, the automatic loading mechanism, essentially turns it into an Automatic Crossbow, completely eliminating one of the weapon's major disadvantages. | |

The Achievement/Trophy 'Alive Without Breath' is a line of a riddle that appeared in The Hobbit. The full riddle is as follows: Alive without breath / as cold as death / never thirsty, ever drinking / all in mail, never clinking. You gain the Achievement/Trophy by possessing a fish.

Guide Dang It! | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The best outcome of some quests requires some specific actions that aren't immediately obvious; you can stumble upon them by chance, or you can consult the wiki... For example, it is very easy to find out which Lady Boyle is which since literally every guest seems to talk about their balcony. Finding the guest that offers you not only the non-lethal route but also state which Lady Boyle is your target is a thing of coincidence though unless the player deliberately runs through every single room looking for a hint. Enough Coin To Slip Away, a Brigmore Witches Achievement that requires the player to finish a Low Chaos playthrough with over 10,000 coins... when all of the DLC's levels only have about 7,500 coins between them all. The Guide Dang It part comes more from how you're supposed to do it- going back through Knife of Dunwall and taking as much money as possible, and then importing that save into Brigmore Witches and continuing from there. Engaging in either Slackjaw or Granny Rag's quest lines in the beginning of the game will force you into a confrontation near the end where you normally have to kill one of them. This will invalidate both Ghost and Clean Hands. There are certain ways of getting around it, but they're very tricky (and may in fact be straight-up Good Bad Bugs). Annoying for players going for two already finicky achievements. | |

Oddly Small Organization | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6f059863 | comment |
Oddly Small Organization: The loyalist conspiracy trying to topple the lord regent and those supporting him consists of: One disgraced, suspended Admiral, an Overseer, the lesser son of a noble family, an assassin, an inventor, a boatman, and four domestic servants. And that's it. Justified in that they are essentially trying to just murder key people so they can take over key positions. The Lord Regent's conspiracy was equally small, though at least in his case each member was in a prominent position to begin with and had access to a wealth of resources. | |

Another Dimension | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_6f572188 | comment |
Another Dimension: The Void. To Corvo and Daud, it appears as an endless expanse of an unnaturally bright, blue fog with islands, structures and various other objects floating around. Here, time and space don't always behave as you would expect. Many people seem to be able to enter the Void while dreaming, but are rarely able to remember any details about it. Few, namely Corvo and Daud, are actually able to remember everything about their visits and can even enter the Void while awake. The place appears to be the home of the Outsider, who appears to have the power to shape it as he desires, though it seems to unconsciously reflect happenings in the waking world or events that somehow involve the observer. It is also the only known source of magical powers in the world, only granted by the Outsider to those he considers to be special. Throughout the game, there are various hints that the world emerged from the Void and will eventually end up being absorbed back into it. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Corvo is forced to hold this when the crown loyalists betray him. Right after drinking a toast cup his vision goes blurry and if he even knocks out the traitors that clearly just poisoned him it causes a game over. Corvo, even when obviously not feeling well, doesn't say anything to anyone about it. He is pretty much walking through the bar, his vision and hearing fading in and out as his heartbeat is pumping in his ears, yet doesn't seem alarmed enough to even give a small hint to Emily that something is wrong. Interestingly, in that very same scenario, the Loyalists might hold it as well, depending on your Chaos (more pronounced on Low). Trying to kill a supernatural assassin you outfitted with a huge arsenal of useful and deadly gadgets who has proven to be ludicrously effective and is fiercely protective of your future puppet ruler (already a questionable idea)? You should make absolutely, completely sure that it works the first time, because you won't get a second try. And who do they choose to deliver the poison? Samuel, one of the most ethical and honest people in the game. Depending on what you did up until then, this can border on Too Dumb to Live. | |

Police Brutality | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_744e3311 | comment |
Police Brutality: This seems to be the general policy of both the City Watch and the Overseers (see All Crimes Are Equal, above). In addition to executing people on the spot for something as innocent as breaking curfew, City Watchmen steal from citizens, round up victims for cruel experiments, and open fire on refugees. In neutral areas, if you stand in a watchman's way you are liable to get kicked out of it. Nobody reacts. | |

Granny Rags, who is able to use Blink, Windblast, Rat Swarm, and unable to die until you destroy her cameo and then kill her or knock her out. Daud, who uses Blink and Bend Time while being immune to time powers himself, summons mooks, and can both deal and take huge amounts of damage. | |

Technical Pacifist | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_777c0033 | comment |
Technical Pacifist: The non-lethal approach to "neutralizing" targets can get pretty nasty: couple of corrupt Members of Parliament who own a mine run by slave labor? Do a favor for a crime boss who will in return have them kidnapped, disfigured and sold to their own mine as slaves! Powerful female aristocrat supporting the Lord Regent? Knock her unconscious and hand her over to an "admirer" who promises she will never be seen again! This also counts towards a Pacifist Run. The game will only log deaths that you are directly responsible for, like straight-up murder or hacked weapons. But it won't count it if, say, you lead a swarm of murderous rats to an enemy, or a group of Weepers that are chasing you "accidentally" end up running into some City Watchmen. Though their corpses will still alert guards as though you had done it, you won't see any deaths recorded at the end of the mission. People that you knocked out dying after the fact, however (falling, drowning, getting eaten by rats), will count. | |

100% Completion: Taking a leaf from the Thief series' book, the game tells you how many collectibles you found in each level, down to the individual coins. Don't attempt this on your first playthrough, because unless you are intimately familiar with every iota of the sprawling, gigantic levels, you'll never get them all. Finding all bone charms and runes is at least doable thanks to the heart pointing them out, though, and the final level of Dark Vision shows some hidden trinkets. | |

Government-Exploited Crisis: The game takes place against the backdrop of a massive epidemic of Pandyssian Rat Plague ravaging the city of Dunwall. Rather than set up medical facilities and treat the infected (which is entirely within the realm of possibility, as the good ending shows), the Imperial government and the aristocracy use the opportunity to corral the underclasses and other undesirables in quarantined homes and entire districts and to let them die out while they throw lavish parties and jockey for favor with the Lord Regent. Late in the game, it is revealed, in fact, that killing the poor with an engineered outbreak was Lord Regent's idea in the first place. | |

Off with His Head! | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_7e6c0522 | comment |
Off with His Head!: Corvo will often perform 'finishing moves' on enemies with low health, some of which involve decapitating them. Additionally, if Corvo is killed by a sword, it's highly implied he has been decapitated, judging from the way the camera rolls around on the floor. Pistol shots and crossbow bolts can also occasionally decapitate foes, in the latter case sometimes even pinning the detached bodypart to any surface behind it. | |

Optional Stealth: The game gives options in how you want to play the game. You could, for example, play through the entire game undetected... or become a whirling dervish of supernatural death. Notably, there's the Ghost achievement for playing through undetected and in a Pacifist Run. | |

Rival Science Teams | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_813b4117 | comment |
Rival Science Teams: The Loyalists field Piero against the Regency's Sokolov. Both men also have a personal rivalry going since their days in academia. Of course, this becomes a moot point when Corvo kidnaps Sokolov, taking him (but not his technology) out of the running. In the end, both men make up and, in the low-chaos ending, work together to put an end to the Weepers. | |

One way of looking at the world is that whales are mystical creatures: all your magic power upgrades come from charms and runes made of the bones of whales. Their glowing oil would therefore be some sort of magical combustible, and so all the technology in the city is Magitek: machines running on magic. | |

Crystal Dragon Jesus | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_83adb272 | comment |
Crystal Dragon Jesus: The Abbey of the Everyman is essentially the Anglican Church with its suppression of dissent and obsession with persecuting witchcraft, alongside its support for some amount of scientific activity. Doctrinally however its quite different from Christianity, being entirely focused on opposing the only divinity seen in the game. The Outsider worship while not really a religion heavily resembles Voudou with its makeshift altars and talismans. | |

Automatic Crossbows | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_83ede4e3 | comment |
Automatic Crossbows: The Assassins' crossbows are this, though their skill with the weapons may also be a factor - a report by an Overseer artificer notes that their attempts to use captured examples of the weapons could not replicate their range, accuracy, or firing speed. Corvo can have his crossbow upgraded to fire quickly as well, with an mechanism that automatically rewinds the weapon and loads a fresh bolt after each shot. | |

Dystopia Is Hard | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_83f43ca9 | comment |
Dystopia Is Hard: One of the way that the Loyalists plan to whittle down the Lord Regent's power is to remove his financial backing. Throughout the game you witness evidence that your enemies don't quite have the manpower they'd like patrolling key areas, and those that they have tend to be so underpaid that the low-ranking guardsmen sometimes tend to supplement their paltry elixir ration with the black-market stuff. Indeed, when you return to Dunwall Tower to deal with Hiram Burrows, you can find a note at the top that hangs a Lampshade on the fact that the dry docks (the way you came in) is bereft of boats since they had to be sent to guard food supplies. General Tobias worries how unguarded the area is, but then he notes that its impossible to climb. And it is, for a man who can't Blink. | |

Humanoid Abomination | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_851dda8f | comment |
Almost by default, especially when Corvo is up against the average guard. When you've been given supernatural powers by a Humanoid Abomination that allows you to do things like summon a Swarm of Rats to eat people alive, there's really no such thing as a fair fight. Also enforced by design: Corvo isn't really equipped to fight several attackers conventionally, so he has to use pragmatism. Attempting to go toe-to-toe with multiple enemies, even if you block and counter perfectly, usually ends up with Corvo getting chipped away by any enemy with a ranged attack while guards swing harmlessly through each other to hurt you. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite hearing the Heart say things like "I will be glad to rest" and "I am not alive, nor have I been granted the gift of death" for the entire game, the ending makes no mention of the Heart's final fate. Even worse considering that it's almost certainly the Empress's own heart. The answer to that question is left to the sequel. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: Considering you have to either kill your target or destroy their life, Corvo fall under this trope. The Good Ending achievement/trophy is called "Just Dark Enough". Then there's the conflict between Slackjaw and Granny Rags. Slackjaw is the leader of a criminal gang that specializes in brewing and selling watered-down elixir to scalp desperate families and pick on locals who can't defend themselves, while Granny Rags is a murderous, cannibalistic, Axe-Crazy Humanoid Abomination that doesn't really think twice about spreading the plague to get what she wants. Interestingly, the player is initially led to believe that Granny is the gray and Slackjaw is the black since she gets a "visit" from his men early that Corvo can "solve" for a rune with her repeating how men like those come by quite often. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: In an imported High Chaos save, changes in Daud's dialogue are used alongside Dishonored's usual You Bastard! elements. In the opening levels, Daud uncharacteristically gloats about his murder of the Empress as he faces off against Corvo in his dream. His later conversations with the Assassins show that he has gone from being A Father to His Men to The Neidermeyer, with some of them talking openly about betraying him. | |

Cruella to Animals: Rothwild and his whale slaughterhouse. Whales are initially eviscerated alive to drain oil from them; once their oil secretions begin to plummet, they're milked for additional oil through a slow death by gradual electrocution to cause extra secretions. Additionally, the "Butcher" enemy type. Not only are they required to carve up both living and dead whales with enormous buzz saws, they are pretty much required to be psychopaths (especially considering most other thugs complain they hear whale songs and screams in their sleep). | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The targets, of course. Each of them embodies some flavor of Dunwall's staggeringly corrupt aristocracy. High Overseer Campbell is corrupt, venal and cruel, regularly breaking the strictures of the Abbey and keeping his position through blackmail. Lords Morgan and Custis Pendleton are slave-owners who work people to death in their mines and regularly torment their younger brother in ways he barely escapes from alive. The Ladies Boyle are distinct, and each has her own nasty secrets. As a unit, though, they manipulate their high places in society to destroy inconvenient people and exploit their servants to live in ostentatious luxury and decadence while the world decays. Their immense wealth allows them to buy and sell the law. The Lord Regent is a dictatorial, paranoid ruler in a state of constant outrage over being unable to personally control every single aspect of Dunwall and the Empire. His brutal policies have bought the city closer to ruin with every month they exist. He had the Empress killed because he feared her approach to the plague's victims was too soft but the irony is that he brought the plague himself, trying to weed out the poor and criminal elements of the city. Daud is the man who killed the Empress. Because he was paid and it was a job. However, while Daud is a ruthless and violent man, he has begun to fall apart with guilt over the death of the Empress and her daughter's kidnapping, and he turns out to be the only true Subverted example. His observation of Dunwall's collapse, knowing it was his own fault for helping the Regent take power, gnaws at him. The Loyalists too, as if betraying Corvo out of lust for power was not enough. Martin's past as a vicious criminal break through his exterior piety, and he resorts to murder to defend his own hide. Pendleton is ultimately weak and petty. In his last moments he abandons his noble propriety to hurl insults, offer bribes, then reveal that he has squandered his wealth. Havelock - much like the Lord Regent - becomes wildly paranoid and totally unreasonable, mad with power. In Low Chaos, he will poison Martin and Pendleton out of fear and ramble to himself in confusion over his plan falling to pieces, knowing that Corvo will come. In High Chaos, he will attempt to kill both himself and Emily by leaping from the lighthouse into the sea and dragging her down with him. | |

Medieval Stasis | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_8f37b | comment |
Medieval Stasis: An aversion, even though its Dark Fantasy setting. The world is in the middle of its Industrial Revolution. There's automobiles, tankers, Mini-Mecha, and guns, and "whale" oil is used as the primary fuel for all of this technology. What is ironic is that while you would think that the technological progress of Dishonored's setting comes as a result of magic being heavily suppressed, the truth is that the whale oil on which the Industrial Revolution is built on is heavily magical. Emily Kaldwin states in her lessons with Callista that nobody, not even Piero and Sokolov, understand how the oil actually works. One note has a few speculations such as the oil being so special to protect the whale from deep water pressure, leading to him wondering if a human could produce the oil if being exposed to extreme pressure as well. Likewise, Piero makes a Spiritual Remedy of Mana despite being a scientist (or a "natural philosopher" as per the pre-Enlightenment term) and the Outsider himself is bemused at how humans are harvesting and bleeding the resources dry much like an older civilization did before. | |

Stopping time and slitting someone's throat sure is fun, right? Well if the target was also touched by the Outsider they can resist. Fortunately, it works both ways.

Laser-Guided Karma: Determines Daud's ultimate fate at the end of the DLC. If Daud attempts to change his ways via a Low Chaos run, then Corvo will ultimately spare him at the end of his DLC. But if he decides to simply accept he is who he is via High Chaos, then Corvo kills him. Daud even alludes to this during his final monologue just before the ending cinematic of his fight with Corvo, by saying that people's actions will have consequences they can't always see. | |

Precursors | |

Precursors: It's repeatedly mentioned that people have recently found the ruins of an ancient city buried deep beneath Dunwall, and it seems that this civilization crafted the Runes you find in the game. The Outsider mentions at one point that humans always use their resources until they run out and die because of it. He then observes that the current civilisation is headed the exact same way as the one he had seen before. In the High-Chaos ending, if Emily dies, the Empire crumbles, going the way of that ancient civilization. The parallel is implied, rather than stated, but it's there. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_928ca2cc | comment |
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Conspirators to you, since they believe you will object to them using the new Empress as a puppet. Plus, you're visible proof of their complicity in the overthrow of the Lord Regent. Havelock also harbored thoughts of being Lord Regent himself, and succumbs to the temptation. In a High Chaos ending, if you were able to save Emily, she said that she'd wind up murdering all of the co-conspirators, anyway. | |

Back for the Finale: This instead happens if Daud adopts a High Chaos run while having spared Billie. Despite being absent for the entirety of the game outside of the aforementioned letter, Billie returns in The Stinger to the High Chaos ending, to mourn at Daud's Viking Funeral following his assassination at the hands of Corvo. | |

Shady Lady of the Night: Emily Kaldwin, daughter of the murdered previous Empress Jessamine and thus the presumptive Empress, has been kidnapped by Hiram Burrows and held in The Golden Cat, a brothel managed by Madam Prudence. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: The first time you approach a Wall of Light at Lady Boyle's party, a nearby guard will warn Corvo (who is in disguise as a guest) that the wall is dangerous. He will do this even if Corvo has used Possession to take the form of a rat. Awfully nice for him to be so concerned for the safety of the local vermin. Admiral Havelock in the Hound Pits Pub will do the same. Apparently he doesn't mind giving missions to (and lauding the deeds of) rats. Any enemies who find a dead body will take it as a sign that you're nearby and search for you...even if they're the ones who killed the person in the first place. If you modified an arc pylon that then fried a enemy, you can bet money on other enemies walking straight towards it to investigate until the pylon runs out of oil. For more fun, hope that there is a whale oil refiller close by. That said, guards who see other guards vaporized by the pylon (and who are far enough away to come to a stop) will hover on the periphery of the pylon's range and either shoot or throw rocks at the player. Enemies with ranged weapons will open fire on their target even if there is an ally in front of them. As such victims are considered to be killed by Corvo himself, it can be quite frustrating to fail a Pacifist Run because a guard (who haven't even noticed you) shot a comrade while trying to kill rats. Likewise, enemies who hear breaking glass or other signals will often turn towards it and run a preprogrammed "surprise" animation which includes stepping backwards. This backwards step can result in them falling off cliffs or platforms and dying; and Corvo is blamed for killing them! (This was eventually fixed in a patch) The guards do not know how to fight back or defend against river krusts. As shown in the fourth mission, they are completely unaware that the river krusts are attacking them should Corvo lure the guards to the docks. | |

Monster Whale | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_94456fd4 | comment |
Monster Whale: Whales are hunted by humans like in Real Life, but are monstrous borderline Eldritch Abomination versions of the creatures we'd recognize. They have giant razor teeth, tentacle-like protrusions around their mouths, and some connection to the Void. Pandyssia, the native land of the plaguebearing rats, is also said to be home to land-dwelling variants. | |

Evil Is Easy | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_9492d6a5 | comment |
Evil Is Easy: Somewhat zigzagged. On one hand, with Corvo's impressive arsenal of lethal weapons and spells, it's considerably easier (and tempting) to complete the game with a High Chaos run where you kill every guard you come across than it is to take the pacifist or even Low Chaos route and abstain from using the cool stuff. On the other hand, going the High Chaos route will also make the world more dangerous, filling it up with more rats, weepers, and higher security measures. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: Overseer Hume, who leads the attack on Daud's base, despite orders to hold back until he has enough reinforcements. Daud successfully breaks Hume's shaky hold on his territory, disables Hume, and learns from Hume's notes that the Abbey is planning to make another strike (which is most likely why, in the game proper, Corvo encounters a squad of dead Overseers in the Flooded District when he arrives there). Many characters scoff that his recklessness and impatience doomed not only his first push, but also any attacks that came after him. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Funnily enough, the Lord Regent's Engineered Public Confession is a pre-recorded mid-breakdown speech (so, he breaks down while breaking it all down for you). Step One of his Kill the Poor plan, killing the Empress to put himself in power, worked great - Corvo was even conveniently there to frame! Step Two, kill the rats, didn't work out. Step Three, quarantine, was a total failure because his blackguards, forcefields and tallboys couldn't stop people from breaking quarantine to be with their loved ones. He also has one in a high chaos run, when upon entering the tower, you see him conversing with his general via screen, being paranoid about the masked assassin coming for him. Then, when you clear the room, you can go ahead and call him, and have a choice of removing your mask and revealing yourself to be none other than Corvo Attano... | |

Heel Realization: In the Low Chaos Ending, the Loyalist Conspirator ringleaders who got greedy and tried to seize power for themselves fall apart when the guilt catches up to them. You encounter Havelock who has already shot Pendleton and Martin dead, who is just simply waiting fretfully and without ill intent for Corvo to show up. Havelock even says Corvo might take him down because he 'has a slower sword hand,' implying Havelock knows Corvo is the better man. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: In most stealth games, sneaking revolves around staying in the dark, and you can often hide from someone by standing in a shadow even if they're looking right at you. Sneaking in Dishonored is based on line of sight, with light and noise being secondary, which requires a different mindset and takes some getting used to. In the Dunwall City Trials DLC, the powers you have access to vary depending upon what challenge you're doing. This will change the shortcuts for each of them, which can take a while to get used to unless you remap them at the start of each challenge. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush: Much of the interaction between the Empress Jessamine Kaldwin and her Royal Protector Corvo Attano suggests they had a very close relationship. So close, indeed, that speculation exists both in-universe and out that Emily is the daughter of Corvo and Jessamine. In fact, Emily draws pictures which you can find between missions at the Hound's Pit Pub. One drawing of the Empress is labeled Mommy. A drawing of Corvo is labeled Daddy. Even Samuel and The Outsider broadly hint at it. A Twitter conversation between Harvey Smith and several fans all but explicitly confirms this. Dishonored 2 flat out confirms this. Before the Empress' assassination, Emily will innocently wonder if, since you can't marry the Empress, if you can marry her. | |

Big Bad | |

When you return from having Lord Regent killed or executed, there are two foreshadowings. One is that both the weather and music seem oddly ominous for a congratulation party and the other is that Samuel behaves a bit different than usual, hinting on him having been asked to poison you. You know, just in case you missed the fact that despite having defeated the Big Bad and your little future Empress safely at home, you don't just get a nice ending cutscene and credits. | |

Pacifist Run | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_97ebe48b | comment |
This also counts towards a Pacifist Run. The game will only log deaths that you are directly responsible for, like straight-up murder or hacked weapons. But it won't count it if, say, you lead a swarm of murderous rats to an enemy, or a group of Weepers that are chasing you "accidentally" end up running into some City Watchmen. Though their corpses will still alert guards as though you had done it, you won't see any deaths recorded at the end of the mission. People that you knocked out dying after the fact, however (falling, drowning, getting eaten by rats), will count. | |

Foreshadowing: If Billie was spared at the end of Knife of Dunwall, Daud can find a letter she's sent him in his headquarters before the first mission containing a book with various ports of call outside Dunwall, which foreshadows Daud's own flight from Dunwall after a Low Chaos Corvo spares him, which happens if Daud maintains his Low Chaos run in Brigmore Witches. The book also mentions the southern city of Karnaca, the "Jewel of the South". The sequel, Dishonored 2, is set in Karnaca. Back for the Finale: This instead happens if Daud adopts a High Chaos run while having spared Billie. Despite being absent for the entirety of the game outside of the aforementioned letter, Billie returns in The Stinger to the High Chaos ending, to mourn at Daud's Viking Funeral following his assassination at the hands of Corvo. | |

Friendly Fireproof | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_9e8aa11e | comment |
Friendly Fireproof: Averted for the player in all cases other than Emily, though you'll get a Non-Standard Game Over if you kill allies that are still important to the plot. For the mooks, played straight with swords, but averted when it comes to guns. Getting a pistol-wielding guard to accidentally shoot one of his buddies several times is an achievement, even! Averted with Arc Pylons. While normally (meaning they have not been hacked by the player) they will avoid targeting anyone designated "friendly" (like guards) and only target unknowns (like the player) it will not hold its fire if a friendly is between the Arc Pylon and its target. An unaware guard might find himself vaporized by a pylon he thought himself safe from if the player decides to juuuuuust creep into the pylon's targeting range... | |

Elite Mooks: The Assassins. They're much more alert than other enemies, move more quickly and have a few magical abilities of their own - including Blink, which makes their patrol routes much less predictable. Slightly lower than them on the scale are Overseers, particularly the Overseers with an anti-magic instrument on their chest. In addition to disrupting your powers, the thing is so big it blocks pretty much all frontal attacks. All Overseers also wear big metal masks that prevent frontal headshots. Also, Tallboys. Who walk on stilts, preventing melee attacks (unless you Blink up to them), wear thick armor that makes them sleep dart proof, use shields that stop ranged attacks, and use bows with explosive arrows. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
The things that Corvo performs with his left hand and right hand are distinct and do not interfere with each other most of the time, meaning that it is possible to chain right-hand sword attacks with left-hand abilities or weapons. One of the best example of this in action is Blood Thirsty. At Tier II, Blood Thirsty lets Corvo perform a double sword attack, with each individual strike being able to One-Hit Kill most enemies in the game. However, after the first attack, the game leaves a short moment of Bullet Time before the second strike, during which Corvo can use his left hand to blink right up to the face of another enemy and kill him with the second strike, which would have been otherwise out of reach. | |

Organ Grinder: Overseer Music Boxes are organ grinders worn by the foot soldiers of the Abbey of the Everyman. The music boxes negate the magic of the Outsider by creating "mathematically pure notes" and can attack with waves of sound. | |

Urban Ruins | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_a8739d3e | comment |
Urban Ruins: The Steampunk combined with Diesel Punk city of Dunwall is plagued by a rat plague which kills hundreds of people and leaves Technically Living Zombies in its wake. Many buildings are locked down, ruined, or even completely destroyed. This trope is especially apparent in the Flooded District, which the authorities just gave up on, and so there is not even any order left to be found there. | |

Mob War: Going all out in the all but abandoned Draper's district. Traditionally the domain of the Hatters gang, the Dead Eels have recently put into port nearby making the situation tense. After the Hatters steal something the Dead Eels need, the tension explodes into all-out warfare, with both sides taking out stragglers of the other and keeping a standoff on either side of an old channel. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: There's a fair amount of inherent sexism in Dunwall society. While women can indeed have positions of political power, they are in general kept out of all naval affairs, and cannot be part of sailing or whaling expeditions. A common woman who wishes to take on more knowledgeable or scientific pursuits over domestic ones is considered odd and possibly in danger of falling to the influence of the Outsider by the Abbey of the Everyman. Gristol society is portrayed as pretty xenophobic and nationalistic. A guard mocks Corvo for his Serkonian heritage, while another expresses disdain for Sokolov for being from Tyvia. Lydia comments on how Corvo is probably not surprised of the horrible state of the slums considering where he comes from. Even Emily, who's far more sympathetic, claims that Gristol is the greatest of the isles. Whales are in general believed to be big, dumb and savage. Hence, most people think nothing of killing them slowly and painfully in order to harvest their oil. Most attempts to express sympathy for the beasts, explain how intelligent they may actually be, or provide warning of the environmental ramifications that hunting them could bring, are met with derision. | |

Evil vs. Evil: Bundry Rothwild vs Abigail Ames. Rothwild is a hybrid of a Corrupt Corporate Executive and a Mob Boss who remorselessly exploits his workers, uses torture to keep them in line, and indulges in animal cruelty to maximize his profits. Abigail Ames seems like a saint at first, in comparison if nothing else, but she's really a professional rabble-rouser who's been hired by Rothwild's competition to sabotage his business. She is disdainful of the workers she's rallying, despises Rothwild for being a low-born commoner who rose above his station, has no qualms about murdering a man while he's unconscious, and is perfectly happy to demolish a warehouse while fully aware - even gleeful - that several dozen men will "die screaming" within. Though they are Asshole Victims. | |

Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids: The Butchers in the whale slaughterhouse are armed with big saw blades powered by whale oil and have face masks that prevent headshots. Their saws are so big they can block bullets and sword strikes, you can't defend against them very well, and the saws even have a metal chip ejector that shoots rapidly, effectively making these guys the only ones in Dunwall who have machine guns. They're one of the toughest new enemies in the whole city; their boss even says they're probably the toughest fighters in Dunwall. Yet their only ostensible job is chopping up whales. | |

What You Are in the Dark: The Outsider narrates at the end of a Low Chaos route that Daud's tale, as the man who saved the Empire, will never be told. It's implied that had Daud not gone after Delilah, she would have left him and the Assassins untouched when she stole Emily's body to rule in her place. Delilah returns as the Big Bad in the second game by which time an adult Emily is well prepared to defend herself and her Empire personally. Likewise, Emily at least can learn of Daud's heroism from Billie Lurk. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Regarding the story, this runs true as well. Corvo will get his revenge on those that cross him, no matter how. Be it a kill or a Fate Worse than Death, the simple fact that you dared to mess with his Empress and Emily will mark you as his next target and nothing will stop him from making you scared for your very life. Even in a Low Chaos pacifist run where nobody dies through your hands, your path of revenge is so terrifying that Lord Regent locks himself into a heavily protected fort and the Loyalists first betray you and then kill each other out of fright. | |

High Chaos 1: Corvo fights through the Watchtower. Martin and Pendleton die violently, though Corvo may not necessarily kill them himself. Havelock attempts to kill both himself and Emily by throwing himself from the tower, but Corvo saves Emily. She is installed as Empress, and the events of the game are remembered as an age of terror and corruption. However, Emily is remembered as a ruler who did what she had to do in a bad situation. Whether the plague is cured or not isn't specified, but the ending slides imply that Emily remains Empress for decades and Corvo still dies of old age, so Dunwall presumably gets through it. | |

Only Daud. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Interestingly, in that very same scenario, the Loyalists might hold it as well, depending on your Chaos (more pronounced on Low). Trying to kill a supernatural assassin you outfitted with a huge arsenal of useful and deadly gadgets who has proven to be ludicrously effective and is fiercely protective of your future puppet ruler (already a questionable idea)? You should make absolutely, completely sure that it works the first time, because you won't get a second try. And who do they choose to deliver the poison? Samuel, one of the most ethical and honest people in the game. Depending on what you did up until then, this can border on Too Dumb to Live. | |

Jessamine is likewise an Old English variant of the Jasmine flower. | |

Reluctant Mad Scientist: Both Piero and Sokolov, though it's more out of For Science! than anything. Though they talk about allegiances, Sokolov quickly squeals when threatened with rats, and seems to care more about the subjects and opportunities the Lord Regent hands him. Piero seems more interested in all the things he can make. They both chum up in the end, despite apparent conflicting worldviews - over science. In The Knife of Dunwall, a note from Sokolov about his Arc Mines ("straight from the twisted mind of Sokolov", the City Watch says) imply he's disgusted with the Lord-Regent gleefully testing them out on a prisoner, despite Sokolov himself claiming the prisoner deserved it, and hoping to find a non-lethal current that simply knocks a target out. | |

Daud is the man who killed the Empress. Because he was paid and it was a job. However, while Daud is a ruthless and violent man, he has begun to fall apart with guilt over the death of the Empress and her daughter's kidnapping, and he turns out to be the only true Subverted example. His observation of Dunwall's collapse, knowing it was his own fault for helping the Regent take power, gnaws at him. | |

Impairment Shot: Happens after the Return to the Tower mission. When Corvo returns to the Hounds Pit Pub to celebrate the success of that mission, he takes a drink with the other members there. When he returns to his bedroom, Corvo's view becomes this shortly before passing out from poison, revealing the betrayal. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Low Chaos: Corvo manages to make it to the top of the Watch Tower — only to discover Martin and Pendleton dead and Emily locked away. Havelock has anticipated your arrival and betrayed and poisoned both Martin and Pendleton in paranoid terror. He then allows Corvo to pick up the key to Emily's door, but not before the two engage in combat (or, you know, Corvo blows his brains out) with Corvo coming out on top. He frees Emily, who is installed and rules as a fair and just Empress eventually renowned as "Emily the Wise". Sokolov and Piero (if they're still alive) manage to concoct a cure to the plague, and Dunwall stabilises while the Empire prospers. Corvo grows old, dies, and is buried beside the grave of Jessamine by Empress Emily, now older than her mother was at her death. | |

Guilt-Based Gaming | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_bfae65a4 | comment |
Guilt-Based Gaming: The High Chaos of Dishonored excels at making the player feel like a complete and total monster if they kill anyone but the specified target. You killed that maid because she caught sight of you and was about to start screaming? You get to hear her boyfriend talking to his buddy about how he's going to propose to her. You killed that Overseer who was about to attack you in perceived self-defense? He might have been the one who warned his friend about the friend's sister about to be accused of being a witch and that she needs to run. You killed that guard who yelled for help? You get to hear his friends snarling that you just made his wife a widow. Nice work, You Bastard!. Likewise, if you failed to save Geoff Curnow, or worse poisoned him, you get to confront the cold and heartbroken Callista. If you continue killing NPC and spark the rise of the rat plague you get to see Cecelia cough, suggesting that she's sick and soon to be diseased. Finally, Samuel Beechworth, your best friend will call you a monster and outright betray you with a flare gun. Harvey Smith and Ralph Colantanio admitted that this was deliberate, while they wanted to give players freedom they also wanted them to accept that there are consequences to every action, noting that it wouldn't make sense for good supporting characters like Samuel Beechworth to support you if you are a mass-murderer. | |

Real Women Don't Wear Dresses | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_c099ca1a | comment |
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Subverted. Dresses simply don't exist in Dunwall, and all female characters wear outfits that vary from trousers and shirts to fancy pantsuits, regardless of their power, ass-kickery, or lack thereof. The Watsonian explanation being that it is simply the fashion of the day and, given the precarious position that Dunwall is in economically, dresses simply are too impractical to make and wear with any regularity. The Doylist answer is that Arkane simply didn't have the budget to make animation rigs that would allow for flowing cloth (which also explains why no one has long hair either). | |

Creative use of your powers can lead to some truly spectacular ways of taking out Mooks such as slowing down time when someone shoots at you only to possess your assailant and make them stand in front of their own bullet; however, these are needlessly theatrical and horrifically mana-draining ways to kill one enemy, and being stealthy is ultimately the safest and most efficient thing to do in almost any given situation. | |

Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_c3e4a2f0 | comment |
Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo: You're warned ahead of time that High Overseer Campbell is going to eliminate a city guard captain that's investigating corruption in the Overseer's ranks, and an optional mission is to save the guy during Campbell's "Wine and Dine and Poison the Guy" routine. A straight-up switching of glasses is possible, but not necessarily the most ideal solution because the other Overseers will jump to the conclusion that the captain deliberately poisoned Campbell. You can break both glasses, forcing Campbell to initiate Plan B (good for getting them both to a private area) or if you're feeling REALLY murderous, you can mix poison into both glasses. | |

Treachery Cover-Up | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_c4c4004a | comment |
Treachery Cover Up: The reason that Havelock, Martin, and Pendleton poison Corvo and murder the other Loyalists (Wallace, Lydia, and potentially Callista). They had also had planned to kill Samuel, Cecelia, Piero, and Sokolov, but Samuel was smart enough to see it coming and run, and Cecelia escaped by either inadvertently being warned by Wallacenote (Low Chaos) or because she wasn't feeling well*High Chaos. Piero and Sokolov survived by barricading themselves in Piero's workshop. Callista's survival depends entirely on whether Corvo has maintained Low Chaos; otherwise, Havelock will kill her as well. | |

Mini-Mecha | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_c72af5a8 | comment |
There's automobiles, tankers, Mini-Mecha, and guns, and "whale" oil is used as the primary fuel for all of this technology. What is ironic is that while you would think that the technological progress of Dishonored's setting comes as a result of magic being heavily suppressed, the truth is that the whale oil on which the Industrial Revolution is built on is heavily magical. Emily Kaldwin states in her lessons with Callista that nobody, not even Piero and Sokolov, understand how the oil actually works. One note has a few speculations such as the oil being so special to protect the whale from deep water pressure, leading to him wondering if a human could produce the oil if being exposed to extreme pressure as well. | |

Shout-Out: One of Delilah's statues acts like a Weeping Angel when you pick the bone charm placed in front of it. The nonlethal solution to eliminating Delilah plays out the exact same way the Trickster is defeated in Thief: The Dark Project. By letting her complete her ritual after you've pulled the old switcheroo on the item necessary to pull it off. In this case, a painting. | |

Canned Orders over Loudspeaker: Constantly. This is one of the things that make it stand out against most comparable steampunk quasi-Victorian settings, and also one of the areas its Half Life 2 inspiration becomes clear. You can meet the guy who does these announcements in one of the later missions — he helps you take out the Lord Regent non-lethally. If you kill him, he gets replaced for the rest of the game by a woman (Carrie Fisher, in fact). | |

Hollywood Darkness | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ca81eae7 | comment |
Hollywood Darkness: Shadows are much, much less pronounced than in Thief (or Splinter Cell, for that matter), even with a relatively low gamma setting. They're also less central to the game's stealth mechanic, which relies more on avoiding line-of-sight than hiding in the dark. Oddly enough, averted in one scene that is a direct homage to Thief, where an Assassin watches an apprentice make his way through a shadowy obstacle course. | |

Taking You with Me: Done by one of the witches who was captured by the Watch while infiltrating the Dunwall Tower. Rather than giving up her secrets, she does... something. When Daud arrives at the scene, he finds the interrogation room in ruins, the witch's charred corpse in the interrogation chair, no sign of her guards unless you count the massive bloodstains and a bunch of the plants associated with the witches' magic, which apparently grew with such ferocity they punched holes in the walls and the ceiling. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: "Revenge Solves Everything" In gameplay, this can be taken to extreme levels. Yes, you could just sneak your way through and just go after the target... or you could slaughter everyone who gets in your way, or even every guard between you and the building that is your destination and every person in the building where the target is hiding. You can make the streets run red with the blood of the innocent and guilty alike, and turn every building your targets live in into an abattoir. There's very little that can stop you, especially as you gain greater powers. Regarding the story, this runs true as well. Corvo will get his revenge on those that cross him, no matter how. Be it a kill or a Fate Worse than Death, the simple fact that you dared to mess with his Empress and Emily will mark you as his next target and nothing will stop him from making you scared for your very life. Even in a Low Chaos pacifist run where nobody dies through your hands, your path of revenge is so terrifying that Lord Regent locks himself into a heavily protected fort and the Loyalists first betray you and then kill each other out of fright. | |

Steampunk/Diesel Punk: Neither fully describes the game's aesthetic; let's just say that it's set during a Whale Oil Industrial Revolution that came a bit too early.

A mix of swords, sorcery and Lovecraftian cosmology along with guns and Combine-style technology and architecture. | |

Take Your Time: Events won't trigger until you actually reach the proper location. Feel free to wander around the Abbey, stealthily taking out every single Overseer both inside and outside of the building, and whether it takes you thirty minutes or six hours to do it, Campbell and Curnow will still be only just arriving at their meeting. Also, after Corvo is poisoned, the symptoms will continually get worse, but Corvo will not collapse until he reaches his room. He is perfectly capable of running circles around the Hound Pits Pub for hours as long as he stays out of the attic. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_d060d93a | comment |
Gamebreaking Bug: There are reports of the mission "High Overseer Campbell" giving you an automatic, "Ghost"/"Shadow" achievement voiding alarm, apparently through an oddity in the scripting. It's believed to be caused by the guards next room from Campbell's meeting hall, who will eventually check on him if the meeting goes on for too long - if they don't find him they begin searching. The problem is that they consider him missing even if he left by his own volition, such as the trip to his safe room; almost any path the player takes on a non-lethal playthrough results in the guards searching the upper floors, which may or may not count as an alarm. Fortunately, the issue can be circumvented if you just knock out everybody on the upper floor, but it's somewhat unintuitive on a stealth run.note Shooting a bolt on the wall after Campbell enters causes him to run for the safe room, leaving Curnow alone - interestingly, scaring Campbell this way doesn't count as an alarm and the guards won't start searching for him | |

| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_d397657d | comment |
The non-lethal approach to "neutralizing" targets can get pretty nasty: couple of corrupt Members of Parliament who own a mine run by slave labor? Do a favor for a crime boss who will in return have them kidnapped, disfigured and sold to their own mine as slaves! Powerful female aristocrat supporting the Lord Regent? Knock her unconscious and hand her over to an "admirer" who promises she will never be seen again! | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: "Lady Boyle's Last Party". Corvo goes to a costume party as himself, signs the guest book with his real name, and has a possibility of going straight up to his target and telling her someone has come to assassinate her for the nonlethal option. After the job is done, Lady Boyle's sisters, if they are still alive, give Corvo gifts for sparing them. A report found in the Lord Regent's office later in the game incredulously describes the ledger signing as "a perverse joke". | |

Hypocrites: Worship of the Outsider is considered witchcraft and heretical by the Overseers in the Abbey of the Everyman. Keeping runes or bone charms is a sign of witchcraft. Accusations of worshipping the outsider are levied against troublemakers to discredit them. Yet almost every person who is rich or in a position of power keeps runes of the Outsider amongst their most precious possessions. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit" | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_d5a84e45 | comment |
Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The "Whales" of the Dishonored world, occasionally called "Leviathans", are enormous H. P. Lovecraft-esque monstrosities with blubber that serves as a fantastical energy source that powers entire empires. The "whales" actually look like the Livyatan melvillei, a prehistoric predatory sperm whale. "Wolfhounds" are dogs with a bit of giraffe and crocodile thrown to mix things up. The term "dog" is hardly ever used to refer to them, always "hound". Samuel mentions that old kennel contains nothing but dried dog poop, which might be an oversight by the developers. "Hagfish" have almost nothing in common with the real animal named like this; they are similar to snakehead fish. It's also hinted a few times that the rats in the game are very different from real-life rats. First of all, if you observe a dissected rat or a rat that you've cut in half closely enough, you can notice a few minor differences in their anatomy from real-life rats. Second, they have the nightmarish ability to strip a corpse of it's flesh in mere seconds, which is something that should only be possible with 50 rats or more. It turns out that these rats are from Pandyssia and a note can be found that reveals Dunwall has (or used to have) seemingly normal rats that aren't bloodthirsty carnivores. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: The games’ six active powers are grouped into high (Bend Time, Posession), medium (Windblast, Devouring Swarm) and low (Blink, Dark Vision) mana cost. To make it easier on the player and to make a better incentive to use your other powers, after using a low cost power your mana bar will refill its missing mana back after a short wait. | |

Coupled with Video Game Cruelty Punishment, if you went to the trouble of torturing Abigail Ames at the Slaughterhouse, she will give you a "special" Bribe... that consists of a bomb that automatically arms itself when Daud gets close. | |

Despair Event Horizon: Havelock either poisons his co-conspirators to protect himself, or the two of them commit suicide in fear of Corvo's retribution. It's left ambiguous, although Havelock is clearly raging against the world. When you come across the bodies, the admiral can be heard ranting about how all the defenses and troops in the world will do nothing to stop Corvo. Sooner or later, he'll breach the defenses and find them. | |

If you modified an arc pylon that then fried a enemy, you can bet money on other enemies walking straight towards it to investigate until the pylon runs out of oil. For more fun, hope that there is a whale oil refiller close by. That said, guards who see other guards vaporized by the pylon (and who are far enough away to come to a stop) will hover on the periphery of the pylon's range and either shoot or throw rocks at the player. | |

For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: One hit takes place during a Masquerade Ball. Once he's inside, Corvo can mingle freely among the guests, some of which will compliment his costume. For bonus points, you can even sign the guest book with your real name... which will be commented on as possibly "a sick joke" in a note later in the game. If you sign your name in the book at the beginning of the mission, the Boyle sisters (most specifically, whichever one you're looking for after you've figured it out/been told) will comment on it ("Does Death walk among us?", "Do you think he's really here?") | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_dfe57573 | comment |
The use of whale oil as an essential resource is also something of a Historical In-Joke: by the mid-19th century, whale oil lamps were cheap to make, but whale oil itself was expensive. Companies would sell lamps with a small quantity of oil for cheap or even give them away for free, driving out other providers of artificial lighting with a product that burned cleaner and brighter, but turned out to be very expensive to maintain. This coincided with the dawn of Yankee capitalism, which is a running theme of the game. [YMMV] | |

Urban Segregation | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_e04ed269 | comment |
Urban Segregation: Exaggerated and Justified. Dunwall has traditionally had districts divided up based on proximity to industry and real estate value, in part to let the nobles get away from the slums and to keep the inhabitants of the slums stuck in them. However, the Rat Plague and the subsequent heavy-handed measures to deal with it by the Lord Regent have made this even worse than usual. Quarantine steps have been taken to limit travel between areas, entire districts have been walled off save heavily guarded checkpoints, and some have even been walled off entirely and given up as a lost cause. It's one reason why the Hound Pit is so safe: it has been abandoned and walled off with gigantic metal barricades to the point that it can only be reached via the Weeper and rat infested sewers or by forbidden boat travel. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: Yes, you can do a Pacifist Run and let your targets live. Of course, you still need to "neutralize" them, which could mean anything up to and including having them kidnapped, disfigured, and put to work as slaves in their own mine until they die. In some ways this ties into both the game's title, and its theme of revenge. Either way you're getting your revenge on those responsible for murdering your love and destroying your life, but you can either kill them outright, or dishonor them, in the same way they did to you. A run-down of Cruel Mercies: One branded a heretic and cast out of society, to be found later dying of plague. Two condemned to horrific slavery as described above. One given over to her creepy stalker to be his wife. One condemned to die by his confession, broadcast over the PA, and taken away to sweat it out awaiting his execution rather than a quick end. Another one will face judgement and execution based on the statements of the future Empress herself. Only one can be spared any kind of real retribution at your hands, and he redeems himself in the DLC companion story. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_e34ada78 | comment |
Authority Equals Asskicking: Very slightly with the City Guards, who have their officers being stronger and more competent than lesser ones. Justified, as the secret-revealing Heart describes the officers as being well-trained members of a military aristocracy. Generally averted with the assassination targets; while all of them will fight back if attacked (except Lady Boyle), most are about as good with a sword as the lowest level guard (in other words, not good at all). The Lord Regent and especially Admiral Havelock turn out to be very good fighters if confronted head-on, but have no Contractual Boss Immunity or boss-like health and thus can be taken down quite quickly regardlessly. Corvo himself was an example before his disgrace: as the Royal Protector, one of the most esteemed positions in the Empire, he practiced his combat skills by fighting entire squads of guards on his own and winning. Justified in that prior to meeting the Empress, Corvo already was a very accomplished fighter in order to be selected as the Empress' bodyguard, especially as he is the first Royal Protector in history to have been born outside of the Isle of Gristol. Moreover, given official ages, he got the position while still in his late teens. | |

Empathic Environment: Getting seen, leaving witnesses and murdering people will lead to high chaos, which increases the spread of the plague in later levels through panic and death. Exaggerated in the level at Kingsparrow Isle Lighthouse; while having low chaos will lead to a standard level, having high chaos means the level is in a heavy storm, there are more guards, and there is a much darker, cynical ending. | |

Gonk: One of the most striking things about the artistic style of these games is how ugly nearly everyone you see is. Sure, Corvo, Jessamine and Emily look kinda nice, but pretty much everyone else looks like a grotesque parody of Victorian-era beliefs on the rich and poor. The poor folk are either hulking gorillas who look carved out of meat or thin wiry fellows who resemble weasels or rats, and both are covered with debilitating acne, burns, or scars.. while the high-born nobles look pointed and inhumanly angular, and though their skin is usually smooth, their expressions are nonetheless marred by wicked smiles or sneers of cold contempt. The men's faces are lined and rugged with weariness and hard living, while the women are pinched and somehow lopsided; everyone's scared, everyone's tired, and nobody smiles. Ugly characters in an ugly world, to tell an ugly story... or maybe not so ugly, depending on your chaos level. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: In the main story Daud can grant powers to others. In the DLC this appears in the form of the Arcane Bond Daud possesses by default, which grants powers to the assassins he summons. Unlike in the story, however, he can upgrade this power so that assassins are immune to the time stop power he uses to force a duel. Daud's assassin organisation also helps him in gameplay by arranging "favors" via its intelligence network and aids in battle through the Summon Assassin power. | |

Combination Attack | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_e69e12b2 | comment |
Combination Attack: The things that Corvo performs with his left hand and right hand are distinct and do not interfere with each other most of the time, meaning that it is possible to chain right-hand sword attacks with left-hand abilities or weapons. One of the best example of this in action is Blood Thirsty. At Tier II, Blood Thirsty lets Corvo perform a double sword attack, with each individual strike being able to One-Hit Kill most enemies in the game. However, after the first attack, the game leaves a short moment of Bullet Time before the second strike, during which Corvo can use his left hand to blink right up to the face of another enemy and kill him with the second strike, which would have been otherwise out of reach. Bend Time II can be combined with many other things to result in creative kills. By bending time while an enemy is firing his gun and possessing said enemy, it is possible to kill an enemy with his own bullet. Throw a grenade when bending time, then use Windblast on the grenade, and you have a flying grenade. Shooting the grenade will then instantly detonate it. | |

Exact Words: Corvo can utilize this trope during the "Lady Boyle's Last Party" mission if he talks to Lord Brisby first. Corvo then has the option of telling Lady Boyle that someone is there to assassinate her, but that he knows of a way to save her life. He's entirely correct, and hasn't twisted the truth in the least. He's just leaving out the part where the assassin is himself. | |

Fascist, but Inefficient | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_eb04f8d5 | comment |
Fascist, but Inefficient: The Lord Regent's regime is oppressive, tyrannical, and ultimately just making things worse in Dunwall. Burrows and his cronies are corrupt and abusing their power to send perfectly healthy people to the quarantined zones, and are in general putting more effort into enforcing the quarantine with increasingly more draconian laws and deadly weapons than in actually finding a cure. The police force has gotten more brutal as of late, to the point where people are too afraid to leave their homes. As such, whole sections of the city are falling apart, and Dunwall's economy is in the gutter. Not enough whale oil is being harvested to meet the increased demands, getting to the point where the government now has to start confiscating it from the population. In the end, all the Lord Regent has accomplished is turning the city into a bigger hellhole than it was before, and all his efforts are helping spread the Rat Plague even further. And the Rat Plague is only rampant because Burrow's ill-thought Kill the Poor plan went horribly wrong. | |

The final act subverts this in the worst ending, as, despite Corvo's best intentions, the chaos generated in tearing down the totalitarian government causes the plague to continue to spread relentlessly, dooming the city without Emily's guidance. | |

Arbitrary Mission Restriction | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ef2c9b2d | comment |
Arbitrary Mission Restriction: The game's achievements feature numerous examples. The game gives the player a sort of scorecard at the end of every mission, which includes whether the player completed the mission without (A) killing anybody, even indirectly, and/or (B) triggering any alerts or alarms. Each condition awards an achievement if it is fulfilled over the course of the entire game (as well as some lesser included achievements, such as one for completing any single mission with no alerts, or any single mission with no alerts and fewer than 5 murders, or completing every mission up to a certain point with fewer than 10 murders). The straightforward "Don't kill anyone" and "Don't alert anyone" achievements are also duplicated in each of the Daud-centric DLC campaigns. One achievement requires the player to finish the game without gaining any supernatural skills aside from one that's required by a tutorial—not only magical powers, but also more mundane enhancements like the ability to jump higher, since they all stem from the Outsider's power. Two mutually exclusive achievements require the player to finish the game in "Low Chaos" or "High Chaos", which require the player to (respectively) either minimize their violent and disruptive actions, or maximize them. | |

No Peripheral Vision: Most of the guards never seem to bother to look up, so long as they're not alerted. In a long hallway full of idle guards? No worries, just blink up to that chandelier and they won't bat an eyelash, even if they're looking in the same direction as you. On the bright side, it makes drop-assassination that much easier. Tallboys make this more difficult though as their Line of Vision is higher. | |

Corvo himself was an example before his disgrace: as the Royal Protector, one of the most esteemed positions in the Empire, he practiced his combat skills by fighting entire squads of guards on his own and winning. Justified in that prior to meeting the Empress, Corvo already was a very accomplished fighter in order to be selected as the Empress' bodyguard, especially as he is the first Royal Protector in history to have been born outside of the Isle of Gristol. Moreover, given official ages, he got the position while still in his late teens. | |

If you had a High Chaos run, Samuel will throw this in your face, saying that you're worse than the other ex-Loyalists put together, and signal the guards on the last level that you are coming. Guards will also occasionally yell it verbatim when you kill their fellows in front of them. | |

| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Deconstructed. The game's High and Low Chaos system in general is a statement on the trope; Corvo's motivations remain the same and it's how extreme his methods are that shape the world around him. The more extreme he is, the worse everything becomes. Several characters, especially in Low Chaos, will speculate that the Loyalists truly did have Emily and the Empire's best interests at heart, but the simple fact that they were willing to use underhanded, vicious means led them down a dark path. Being able to order the deaths of anyone who gets in your way is a heady drug, and the Loyalists succumbed to it. | |

Item Crafting | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: Implied but not actually used, at least not for you, the player. You find various valuable items all around the city and collect them, but they just get converted to instant cash for your convenience. Piero explains that he sells anything you find on the "black market." However, there's a letter to Piero from Havelock that saying "We can't give you copper wire and Kingfeathers! Go find your own!" and these two items happen to be two of the common Shop Fodder items you collect. It's possible an earlier version of the game had you collect this stuff for more direct item crafting rather than a simple cash exchange. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: The Overseers, despite being corrupt Church Militant, really do care for their wolfhounds. One can be seen sweet talking to a sick wolfhound in a kennel, and you can find a note where one refused even the idea of having the wolfhounds strapped with bomb vests no matter what the Chaos Level is. If you leave the four dogs in the kennels alive, you will eventually meet them in the Flooded District after they have been "rescued" by the assassins, who observe in a note that with proper food and care, the hounds are behaving more to their liking again. | |

Shown Their Work: While the setting is Victorian Steampunk, Arkane did extensive research all over Europe to get a certain realistic style based on real-life societies from the period. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Dishonored (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: You can find part of a log Sokolov made about an expedition to the continent. Apparently, there are schools of quite literal flying fish that attack and poison anything they can touch, winds strong enough to throw people off the deck, massive flying serpents, rats that can eat people alive, and prairie moles that can poison people. In addition to that, there is potentially magical whale-song that drives people mad, and at least one person who was found dead from nothing identifiable, but with a look of absolute terror on his face. Less than half the crew survived the crossing. And apparently that was one of the better expeditions. | |
