The Tales from Dunwall is a trilogy of animated shorts that serves as a prequel/interquel to the original Dishonored video game. They were originally released by Bethesda to promote the game leading up to its release and are narrated by the voice of Emily Kaldwin. The three episodes are: "The Awakening". Esmond Roseburrow, a lonely scientist ostracized for his unorthodox ideas, discovers a way to refine whale oil into high-energy fuel and uses it to kick-start the industrial revolution across the Isles. However, after his own student Anton Sokolov adapts his discoveries for military use and authoritarian control, Roseburrow takes his own life in despair. "The Hand That Feeds". An unnamed street urchin is bullied by his peers until the Outsider bestows his mark upon him, allowing him to summon rats to devour his tormentors. In the process however, the boy contracts the rat plague and dies at the Outsider's altar. "In the Mind of Madness". Piero Joplin is haunted by nightmares of the Outsider, until one day, he is shown a skull-like mechanical mask, which he builds in real world, not yet knowing for whom it is meant, but hopeful that this act will release him from his dreams.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Piero's appearance in the third episode is based on Wallace's from the final game, because their character models were actually swapped by the devs very late in production, after the episodes had already been animated.

Driven to Suicide: Roseburrow shoots himself upon realizing that his scientific and cultural legacy will be forever tied to, if not overshadowed by, Sokolov's work for the military-industrial complex.

Death by Irony: Roseburrow kills himself with a gun loaded with a single whale oil-powered bullet — a symbol of the militarization of the very technology he had originally intended for peaceful use.
