for the player, it’s not that hard, but for corvo in canon, sparing daud was one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do. i can’t even imagine the willpower it would take. imagine that. you can get revenge on the man who killed your lover, your soulmate, “and you choose mercy. extraordinary.”
This is both gorgeous and unintentionally hilarious Corvo just busting down the door, havng an anime-slow mo-staredown with Daud and then unceremoniously blasting him out a window?? Peak chaos Birilliant
Round 1: “swords, bone charm, wind blast” they both draw swords Round 2: “swords, bone charm, wind blast” Daud draws sword, but Corvo casts wing blast Corvo wins! And no, Daud does not want to engage in a round 3 of the game with Corvo
