Hey guys, to everyone new to the channel, I'd like to welcome y'all to my corner of the internet! If you're at all interested in lore, be it dishonored, prey, the elder scrolls, or something else, please take a look at my channel - and if you're just passing by, then feel free to do so! I've got lots of other videos on the lore of dishonored and even more in the works (though with a slower turnover rate given how I've been trying to evolve the content)!
In my opinion Dishonored 1 was really good then Dishonored 2 was good but tried too hard to capitalize on the “grab everything useful” and was worse off for it and the death of the outsider felt hollow and unnecessary (this is just my opinion but for the people I’ve talked to it’s a common sentiment)
@@angel__king Yea I feel like the games got worse as the franchise went on. DotO got the worst of it since it was just a stand-alone DLC of D2 and inherented all its bad traits. I still feel like every game is worth a couple runs though
Carson L in Dishonored 1 I would run the game over and over but dishonored 2 I got through 1 play through then get bored around the clockwork mansion every other time
Same here. But Modiphius just released a Dishonored tabletop RPG which they worked on together with some of the original game devs from Arkane, if you enjoy Pen&Paper games.
Purely based on art, both the Dishonored games and especially D2 , are imo, hands down the best fp perspective games that I have the pleasure of experiencing. The amount of detail in every level of D2 is just mind blowing. It was clearly a passion project for Arkane.
Is it only me or Dishonored world is heavily Lovecraftian at its core? I mean, if you read Lovecraft's books, you really would find many similiarities. People living in fear of two voids: cosmic and marine. Sailors returning mad from the sea. Outsider, a lookalike of Nyarlothothep. And general dreamlike atmosphere of the game (Lovecraft's books are very dreamlike, especially the dream cycle)
I really wish we got a 4th Dishonored. There is so much potential in the world of Dishonored. We could go to Tyvia and Morley (I don't think we should get a game set in the Pandyssian Continent, as its intentionally supposed to be mysterious and I wouldn't want the mystery ruined. Also there are no cities or towns there so the game just wouldn't work). Or even visit different parts of Gristol or Serkonos. So much potential.
Interesting re. Pandyssia : With the tendency for the devs to make the Isles resemble Europe, my gut feels as if in the same vein Pandyssia is a mix of the Middle east/Asia - when you said the lore has it be reported as being mostly desert and jungle its easy to see the real world geography and devs inspiration pattern allude to this! 🤔
Dishonered is fire 🔥 and I don't know what I'll do if they don't continue the series but i want to know more about the world of dishonered like tyvia , Morley , and pandyssia .
Ngl you deserve much more credit for your research into the game. I loved the first game as a kid and I just started the second one four days ago. Keep up the good work!!!
Dishonored is my favourite game the setting the music just everything is amazing, sometimes I load up Dishonored and just stand in the streets of the various Dunwall districts and just enjoy the ambiance these games are great the first one is my personal favourite such a masterpiece
A point of (hopefully) constructive criticism if i may! I would advise you to restrain from going into to much detail to quickly and instead play it as it is in more easily understandable terms, View it as someone that has never played dishonored before! and then build up slowly adding complexity at a rate that doesn't overwhelm. This takes a lot of practice, and I can't say I'm as good at it as I'd like to be, but it has helped me immeasurably, and I hope it will do the same for you. also, where you inspired by leadhead? you share many of his qualities! I look forward to the next Video on dishonored I greatly appreciate the effort you put into this!
Towards the first one, this was the first dishonored video I ever made, so in that regard, I hope that I've improved - though, that said, I definitely could still improve with how I throw out the info in the first. As for that second question, I've never once in my life heard of leadhead, though I will look into him now, as I'm curious by what you meant.
D6Damage I agree it was worse than the games and dishonored1 dlc but I don’t count dlc, I believe in dishonored 3, I just hope the characters don’t speak, like if you want lore and story, read the book or watch a video of someone telling you the story of the game because he read the book
Death of the outsider was cherry on top on the perfect cake. Its not better than D and D2, but the story wise it was perfect. I want to play outsider who got out of the void.
I have a question you know that statue in dunwall of a queen she has a sphere in one hand and a scepter in the other who is she was she the first empress she can be seen everywhere like the theodanis statue you'll see her at 4:11
The way I see it: - Tyvia is Russia and the Arctic, being largely uninhabitable and full of dangerous beasts, alcohol is a key part of the country both culturally and economically, what people do live there are kept in line with deadly prisons and secret police. - Morley in most of Europe like France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland and Poland, they have a culture based heavily in music and the arts, they're known for diverse food and have a history of rebellion/war with their neighbour. - Gristol is England with bits of American, they're proud, imperialistic, industrious and eagerly adopt technology in the hopes of spreading their influence, have a powerful navy, they're the only nation with a separate police and military force (with their lawmen being particularly prolific) and they are seen to keep the clergy in check and the government mostly secular and they even seem pertty keen on the right to bear arms. - Serkonos is the Mediterranean reigon, so Spain, Italy, Greece ect; tropical with lots of fruit, their church is more like an inquisition than Gristol (having lots of outposts, engaging in gang crackdowns and extrajudicial operations) and they have a gendarmerie instead of having a sperate army and police force.
deathloop takes place in an island not too far north from tyvia, so it can't be that uninhabitable. i'd say tyvia is proably closer to belarus, ukraine and russia than the arctic.
Honestly, I hope they don't flesh the world out too much. The mystery is a big part of the appeal. JRR Tolkien was pretty prolific in responding to fans who had questions about Middle Earth. In one exchange, the writer expressed some frustration with Tolkien in that every time JRR answered one of his questions, it was in such a way that left the fan with two more. Tolkien responded to disgruntled fan by telling him that making sure he didn't know too much of the world is exactly the reason he'd stayed interested in it for so long. What we know, we get bored with. What we don't know keeps us coming back for more.
I love this game so much From the lore books, to the NPC interactions, to the mission design, Dishonored is a work of art based in a fascinating world I play stealthy first and foremost so I can eavesdrop and hear what people have to say
Just finished all of the games and DLC, I cannot believe I overlooked it at the time its immediately become one of my favorite game series of all time. I pray Arkane Studios give it another shot in the future.
@@WalksandSuch This isn't hate, this is a mere joke at how Loremasters have unique voices that standout. Having a voice that sounds nice is also crucial for any kind of narrative job.
Edin-burg! XD XD XD Dude, it's pronounced Edin-brah. Edinburgh, it's the capitol of Scotland. Source: I live here. Great video though nonetheless bud but had to point that out, it made laugh and cringe as a Scot XD Liked + subscribed.
What think the great buring Is it's basically proto religions Being attacked by the envisioned cult From the death of the outsider so the cult makes a new god so If The outsider dies I think what will be trillion of years the void will become the outsider or get an alien race to Make a new sacrifice like aliens from prey also Billy in the canon ending made the outsider human again but there are void spirits coming out I guess they Wanted to escape.
