Dishonored 2's Very Bad No Good "Good" Ending 

I still remember hitting the final level, visiting the shrine to Jesamine and realizing Delilah's entire motivation was that her sister broke a vase like 40 years ago.

Okay, so, under scrutiny, this story tears apart quicker than Jessamine Kaldwin. You gotta think though, the killing animations are so much more fucking metal now. 10/10.

I enjoy the head-cannon that if Corvo escaped instead of Emily, he would forgo his previously non-lethal tendencies. An old, jaded man betrayed one too many times. The "Corvo the Black" ending

Hey there delilah whats it like in new york city

Funnily enough, the Dishonored comic that follows Dishonored 2 has pretty much all the same problems. It opens with a man named Archibald holding a peaceful assembly, talking about how the people should have a say in how their city is run when the workers are the backbone of Dunwall, asking for elections and that having a single seat of power allowed Delilah to run amok. Emily makes some very poor arguments which Archibald refutes, then claims that Archibald is merely power-hungry and doesn't care for the people, which he isn't and he does. Corvo threatens to kill him, because Corvo likes killing people, and then Emily skulks off to do some cloak and dagger nonsense with Corvo instead of HER JOB, because being a good empress means shivving gang members in the slums. They fall into a trap (bone charms that negate the Outsider's mark strapped with explosives), Corvo almost dies, Meanwhile, Archibald is captured by the new antagonist (Lualla Price, or in other words, nobody of consequence) and forced to...keep doing what he's doing, which is call for reform and fair elections. Brilliant. During one of his speeches, the City Watch arrive and threaten violence if they do not disband their PEACEFUL assembly. Archibald is forced to incite them to violence, despite the City Watch having already done his job for him. Despite Corvo warning her she's being baited into a trap like they just did to her yesterday, Emily tracks down Lualla and falls for THE SAME TRAP THAT SHE JUST FELL INTO A DAY AGO (minus the explosives because Ms. Nobody of Consequence is not intelligent). They fight, Emily wins because Ms. NoC decided to monologue. After being imprisoned, Lualla states correctly that even with her own crimes, Emily's family has a trail of bodies just as long, and the only reason she's imprisoned and Emily isn't is because she won. Emily chooses to not kill her, which makes Archibald forget all the reasons why the monarchy was a bad thing and loses all of his remaining braincells, and starts a chant of "long live the crown", and everyone is forced to admit Emily is a good person. Corvo says she should have killed her, because Corvo likes killing people, and the story ends with the overall message being "believe in yourself" and nobody learns anything.

11:30 there's a third option. Fix the present. It's also canon to "Death of the Outsider" and gets him on your side in the present which leads to questions as to why you even were here. Maybe the Outsider was preventing a paradox or something.

Game has it's problems and the main villian is obviously weak, so is the beginning part. But I feel like you bash the game too hard with your humor, which largely consists of nitcpicking stuff that is most definetely okay. Jindosh, for example. A character who has sound internal logic and is tied into the game well enough. He's a prick and a narcissist because of his perceived genius. Of course he's not gonna kill the player, Jindosh believes his puzzle house and automatons are unmatched, so the player stands no chance. And there is no issue here. Who he is as a chatacter is prepresented in his level and a little bit of flavour text when he smirks at you in a cutscenes. Saying that the puzzle house is ruined by the presence of Jindosh is just... incorrect. If it's a joke, then it's not made clear enough. If it's a real take, then I can't understand it's validness. And the whole video has a lot of small points like this.

sorry but dishonored 2 is immune from all criticism because of how awesome emilys outfit it, litterally no one ever has had a better outfit

Ah yes. Well trap Delilah in the void. That will work perfectly and has never failed before.

I'll forever lament the unrealized concept art fight of fighting Dellah's soul in a giant whalebone golem

Corvo wasn't high-chaos canonically, but there is one instance in the canon book where he loses his shit and stops being (mostly) stealthy and non-lethal: While rescuing Emily from the whorehouse. Because it's his daughter, and he doesn't have the composure to keep himself calm while thinking of her daughter in danger. It makes perfect sense that he'd kill people in the throneroom attack.

My left ear enjoyed this video

"and plays meet the Grahams in the background" Damn, Delilah is cold as ice

Yup. Story definitely sucked compared to part one. It was the damn gameplay that kept me on Dishonored 2

Delightful way to recap an excellent game

I mean, if clean hands wasn't canon, Emily was going to be a shit ruler. are we sure clean hands is canon? Edit: I meant low chaos

really enjoyed this series of videos. huge dishonored fan and you nailed these! hope you do Death of The Outsider

Looking at this comment section, I feel like I need to say this, so I will: The story of Dishonored 2 was not that bad. The main plot line of 1 may have been a little better in places, but that's okay. 2 still makes up for it with a great degree of worldbuilding characteristic of the series.

Energy Bending 💀

The Outsider is very neutral but he drops a lot of powers into people like 3 times lmao Not in fact 4 Corvo (1 game) Emily Empress And the DLC i think with the black woman (not sure if the powers are granted by him)

This is probably my favorite dishonored 2 video of all time lol

I very much appriciate your humour and the subtitles you provided! Thank you good sir and you have a sub!

Lol I never realised how quickly the story falls apart. Well, to me the game was just a tale of revenge where you choose to kill or torture.

Your channel is so underrated dude. Easy sub, hope you blow up on the algorithm soon

we shouldve traveled more

wasnt corvo trained in things similar to jessamine as was her right hand man for years and required for negatiations? much less the retconning makes the goldne man sound extremely incompetent when he has obviously been exposed to all types of people. he wouldve still uad time to learn?

Dishonored 2 is better because you get to play as one of the two hotest people in the empire. Also Emily's outfit is so incredibly based. Also the Clockwork Mansion and Crack in the Slab might be two of my favorite video game levels alongside Effect and Cause.

Noooooo I just got the bad ending and that also sucked. The outsider just kept popping in to go tisk tisk i am judgeing you. You didn't need to make a pile of skulls in the last level corvo.

Hate the opener of that game and its implications on the first games events. That game was not needed.

Love the gameplay of this game. Really dislike the story. Great video man!

how in the fuck you only got 282 subscribers. Its 283 now

Masterpiece franchise

I love Dishonored. But everyone who says 'redfall was so unexpectedly bad, arkane is so good, there must have been outside influences making them make bad things' has not been paying attention. Dishonored 2, though I liked it, was pretty much the sign to me that Arkane was not interested in improving the things I liked, and it's been a downward trend since.

Отчивка чистые руки и призрак не канон. Корво как минимум вступал в открытый бой с Даудом. Он убил старую ветош и Хевлока(возможно близнецов пенделтонов или лорда регента, 50 на 50). Корво ассасин, когда ему не было нужды или выгоды он не убивал, не устраивал кровавую баню. Но он гнушается воровства,убийства.

good video

Get reckted, Tell don't show!

Great video man! I might suggest less focus on retelling the story itself, and more on your analysis!

Please fix your mic balance.

I feel bad this is the PEAK OF ARKANE (or maybe Prey 2017 not sure) I dont feel Deadloop is good, in fact, looks like Dishonored 1.5 with multiplayer Is a shame they are dead as devs

14:30 Bro wants to critize the background lore, but hasn't read any of it. Why? Why flaunt your ignorance so openly when you want to make your observations seem clever

Dishonored 2’s plot Is Innately broke before the Game start’s Of the two most Important and Beloved Characters You Froze one and forced the Player to play the Complete game without the other Massively hindering Everything out of shear Laziness They also seemingly don’t Know Who Corvo Is and what He should Be doing The Plot’s super Pathetic for even allowing that DLC Villain to have Survived this long and comeback as a Reused Asset main Villain Artstyle’s Beautiful; Game’s Fun What Is This Amateur Writing? Some Cool Concepts but They’re not executed Well enough and the most Important backdrop to the Central Story Is Comically Inept Just make some different Characters and make the World reflect Their Reality Great breakdown Good Work My Man

Delighlah is a cringey OC the second game is fun but the writing is garbage.

really bizarre that a game about assassins assassinating bad guys scolds you for assassinating bad guys. like, they trained corvo specifically to kill people, and obviously he's okay with it or he wouldn't have the job. and everyone you kill is bad, so what exactly is the problem? do the writers think soldiers should wage war with tasers and pepper spray or something?

DISHONOURED IS ONE THE VERY BEST GAMES EVER MADE.......PERIOD
