What’s Flann’s hair care routine?
Routine...? I'm not sure I understand. I comb it and tie it back.

Could you please tell us what are the side effects of cutting the red string
It depends on how MC chooses to cut the strings, in a cautious manner or harsher manner.
The cautious type of cut has the probability of 28% of receiving the side effects, while the harsher type of cutting has the probability of 63% of receiving the side effect.
Side Effects of Cutting
Memory loss regarding any traces of the existence of their past fated soulmate
Blurry Vision and Hallucinations
Vomit
Intense headache and Nausea
Unbearable Pain
Fatigue
Breathing Troubles
Coughing up blood
Erratic behavior
These side effects lasts for a week.
If the string’s owner is weak willed, these symptoms can make them reach their death. For average folks, usually, they'd be sent to a mental asylum first since these symptoms didn't come out of a disease.
And these side effects very much help with MC's business. Since the victims focus on the sudden damage they received, they won't be in a good state to even remember the face of a stranger who they just met. It's much a different case for someone who's used to seeing MC's face wink wink.
MC never killed anyone, they just let these symptoms take over the victim's mental state after taking a big chunk of their money 😈

How you'd rewrite Dishonored death of the outsider if it was fully fledged game with 10 missions? (like Dishonored or Dishonored 2)
Oooh!! Enrichment in my enclosure - thank you for asking! Thinking about a total rewrite was a great exercise. Fair disclaimer: I haven’t read the books & their canon-status can’t hurt me. To me, the Dishonored games stand out due to their immsim design philosophy, and thinking about some of the industry reasons for DotO’s departure from that, if I could make a standalone game with ~ten levels I would, but with the same budget I’d also happily make two DLCs made slowly over a longer timeframe with greater attention to detail.
Game structure
Finding Daud // Billie’s past
The fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Game story
Setting & Characters
Billie: What has Billie been doing since she’s returned to Serkonos? Knowing the Dreadful Wale will sink, she’s sold it for scrap & has set up an agency in Lower Aventa. She’s something of a detective/odd-jobs man (& assassin when it suits her). Business is booming, life is good. I think a long-running implication that she's becoming Daud in some ways would make for an interesting subplot.
Karnaca: a city that unfolds. In the first levels, Billie feels like a forgotten woman, a ghost slipped through the cracks, but as levels progress there are hints & references to how her past actions have affected others & shaped the city
Alignments: Witches, gangs, religion, industry; missions for clients who can’t necessarily pay their way. Missions that allow the player to explore/understand Karnaca in a deeper way.
Daud: Billie is unsure if Daud again will bring her any closure. She’s been thinking of him since her time with Emily, and his name keeps popping up.
Deirdre: the charm is a more functional heart, similar to Jessamine, as well as her own character design. Perhaps she doesn’t see Deirdre until she chooses the powers, or until she’s in the void (see next point)
First arc: Finding Daud // Billie’s past
Powers: the Outsider offers Billie powers even though her life is finally, actually good, so she’s pissed off. A choice - she can take them, or play no powers mode.
Breanna Ashworth is this arc’s villain - she wants Delilah back, and knows that Daud has banished her before, wants to know how he did it. Grief & desperation has changed her, and she no longer has her high society veneer. The remnants of the Karnaca coven, now powerless, have stolen from the Overseers to arm themselves to the teeth, and to neutralise Daud’s powers, in addition to black bonecharms.
Billie’s in a race against time against Breanna to find Daud, but by the last level it becomes clear that Breanna *has* found Daud, and has been torturing him for information about the void. Her dynamic with Billie is complicated by their past.
I think betrayal would be an interesting theme, so maybe one of the levels gives you the option to ally yourself with Breanna under false pretences.
Second arc: choosing the fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Delilah is the core villain, but she’s obsessed with killing the Outsider so she can take his place, having been violently ripped from her perfect world in her own painting by Breanna (who meant well), & knowing the Empire doesn’t hold her interest... but a perfectly mouldable void & infinite power does take her fancy.
As remorseful Daud is obsessing about preventing Delilah from taking power, Billie’s doing some detective work and learns more about the Outsider (he’s not showing up and monologuing - she’s finding this out herself. A level idea could be a raid on a ‘haunted’ houses where the void is thin)
Delilah succeeds in taking the Outsider's place, leaving the Outsider dead or mortal depending on if you are able to save him. Delilah has split her soul from herself before and she’s very much clever enough to learn the Outsider’s name to render him mortal.
Daud knows he’s dying, though, and it might be an ultimate sacrifice to save both Billie’s life, and the Outsider’s.
So during the final battle, there’s an option to make Daud the Outsider, because Daud wants Billie and the Outsider to have a shot at a normal life, and his life was forfeit in his own mind…
… or, reluctantly accepting the Outsider’s help, Billie finds a way to cut the void’s access to the world, rendering Delilah an all powerful god over a dead & silent world.
Because of the past/present focus of this you could even have levels set in the past - missions with Billie & Daud. Perhaps Billie as POV character, and Daud dropping by the way that Billie did in Knife of Dunwall. That’d be neat.
A heap of ideas here, hope there was something you liked :)

What types of weapons are the cast trained in using? We've got several members with military experience...
Flan is the most versatile of the bunch. If you hand him a weapon, or blunt object, chances are he'll be able to put it to use. Jack of all trades, master of none. He's still very, very good, though.
Maeve is a master swordswoman, and is better at it than the rest of the cast. She also knows her way around basic melee weapons, and she's got- [redacted]
Shae is most used to spears, but can pull some fancy tricks with their dagger as well.
Keagan, despite his job, has trained in spear and sword. However he is nowhere near as proficient as the three above and prefers other methods of achieving his goals. He understands where his talents lie.
Robin doesn't need weapons. Aífe prefers words.

headcanon K for Arcos and Marbella? ( ╹▽╹ )
C: what is heart-crushing and awful but fun to inflict on friends
when the time came and arcos died of old age, after a very long and happy life and surrounded by all his loved ones, lloyd knew it wouldn't take long for marbella to follow him. as much as he and javier had changed fate, some things are just as certain as the rising sun. so he just tends to her garden in his father's place and brings her fresh flowers every morning. marbella passes away with a garden in full bloom and the feeling of a soft kiss on her forehead.
bonus hc: lloyd takes up gardening once he grows older. it's not quite the hobby he'd had in mind when he was younger but he finds something very soothing in seeing the garden take on a new life every spring with his help. it feels like having a bit of his parents home again.
send me a character and a letter and i'll give you a headcanon!
