every dishonored game (with the exception of DotO) ends with the Outsider narrating what came after, when the story came to a close, and it does give the game the quality of one - a story recounted to you, in detail, by a master storyteller that explains what came after, what fate the characters you grew to love in the tale met, before it all fades to nothing. and it conjures ideas of human Outsider relaying strange stories like this to others, those of the plague and of the coup, tales of the Knife of Dunwall, or the tales of the witch-Empress before she became an Empress at all. maybe even presents the idea of the third game being, at the end of it all, a retelling of what human Outsider lived through, but now he is a little older, a little less otherworldly.

#dh #dishonored #li.txt #sory just thinking about dh3 as a concept. a possibility #Im obsessed with stories that are revealed to be stories told by someone?#the kinda book you read and in the last chapter it is revealed that it is one of the characters relaying the tale of their youth #kinda like bilbo and frodo did in hobbit/lotr #but this time instead of the outsider talking of how the characters went on to live out their lives as a deity that is unconcerned #he tells it as someone who lived it through and talks of what became of his friends #i just really love the story-like epilogues he gives us #'she lead dunwall into a golden age. and then at the height of her reign buried corvo by her mother's side'#'billie lurk wanted to be a pirate-'#like the way its formatted is SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!#outsider as a storyteller #such a wonderful concept #i heard the shrine music dakota posted and it flipped a switch #missing my son hours
