i believe the choice to fire the gun wasn't him trying to get corvo killed. instead I think samuel knew he would win as the ruthless killer he is (high choas) and as a result the bullet he fired was more for the guards and their safety, warning them corvo has arrived (they all knew he would be coming) to at least give them a chance of not dying at his hand by running away as guards in high chaos know what corvo has done and would be more fearful. i think this to be true because samuel is the type of guy to take risks even save just one more person and with with his guilt of driving a high choas corvo to missions where he killed hundreds the feeling of saving one more person will be more enhanced.
That's a good point, but I do think his intentions were to stop him (even if he knew that a couple of guards couldn't do much) because of one particular point that I didn't actually bring up in the video, in the regular high chaos version that boat ride, where Samuel says he's disappointed but doesn't fire the gun, he expresses his hope that Emily makes it out okay, but in the version when he does shoot he says nothing about the young empress, just expressing his distain towards you
Fun story. On my first playthrough of the game, I got the high chaos ending and when we were on the boat to the island for the final mission, I remember Sam was being a dick to me. he was saying, "Im just like the rest of em" in regards to me killing everyone I see and I was kinda pissed about that so after telling me to gtf off his boat and that he was gonna alert the guards as he was pulling out his gun, I instantly shot him in the face with my crossbow out of pure instinct. I paused and realised that he was right about the type of person i am and it was incredible how things played out naturally the way it did. Its easily one of my most memorable moments in gaming. I dont regret killing sam tho, insubordination will not be tolerated
@daizenmarcurio The games ability to turn you into a monster and makes you face the reality of your choices is honestly incredible.The fact that they allow you to gun him down in that moment really caught me off guard the first time I did it since any time prior to that you always get a game over screen. Out of curiosity, do you remember if it reflects that choice to kill Sam during the end sequence wrap up cutscene?
@@zombieclone98 For sure man, it also caught me off guard too, its definitely an incredible thing And yes, its reflected because he doesnt show up at all in the ending where you kill him but if you hit him with a sleep dart, then he'll show up in his regular high chaos ending. I really love your videos man, keep em coming when you can
Funnily, Havelock does have a line where he states how Samuel looks familiar, but he can't quite place from where. 6:40 Also nice touch playing the audiograph in view of Samuel's boat This was a very good character analysis on my favorite character from the first game. Subbed!
Ive been a hige fan of dishonored ever since the 1st game released & samuel is still my favorite character. His remarks to the player throughout the game really make you think about the inpact you have on the in game world. Ive tried running a high chaos playthrough but ive never been able to complete those playthroughs mainly bc of Samuel. To me he represents the common man in the world of dishonored & having him disappointed in you is akin to the people of the empire frowning upon your actions. Im currebtly attempting a lore accurate low chaos playthrough & ive actually done a lot better than i used to. Im not much of a gamer but im a die hard fan of the dishonored series. so even getting the ghost achievement on a single mission feels awesome
His character even though minor in the story is a huge compass (moral and gameplay wise) he adds a lot of sense and life into the story and at the end of the gane reminds you that you are not the monster you are and do a low chaos run again. His character small added a lot of reason to play do secomd playthrough and try different and cleaner approach. Which fun as much as the high chaos. This exactly what new games miss, subtle storytelling
Ayo Dishonored is still remembered more than a decade. Not only by StealthGamer BR, but by a bunch of other people. The game industry now is in such pathetic state people play good ol' games.
Also Samuel is possibly the realest dude in these games. Bro brings nothing but goodness to the world
Unless what he’s bringing is a high chaos Corvo to a target.
Samuel the Boatman? more like Samuel the GOATman!

@@zombieclone98 ah i see, good point
I think your opinion has swayed me. It makes the most sense, logically.

@@zombieclone98 i remember my first time playing through the end of the game, i was feeling sick of what i am
@@enderfire3379 too real "what have I become"
I had that same ending but I didn't care because as far as I was concerned Sam was already dead just for having met me lol
I do wish we had more of him in the game. He is such a good person
I really missed his presence in the following 2 games, but the little mention he gets when you pick up the carving of his boat warms my heart
@@zombieclone98 Same for me!
I recently started playing dishonoured and he is by far my favourite character.

@@sam_wilds oh wow really, that's a nice little detail I didn't know about!
My one wish is that I could have at least shook Samuel's hand in on our last mission in the low chaos run.

Never played dishonored but remember when it came out ! Love any video based on character analyses
Dude this was great wishing you success as you keep growing
@@kyleott6101 thanks buddy, really appreciate it!
fantastic video would love to see more like this
Samuel the goat
@@Elviye real
very good video, keep up the good work bud.
I wanna play dishonored again Dishonored 1 > Dishonored 2
Dishonored 1 is definitely my favourite but 2 and DOTO are both good in their own right

@@gigabek Ah another cultured individual, welcome brother
No kill play through is cannon? I thought killing all targets and no one else was the cannon way to play
Either way IMO it’s the most fun
@@whyareusobad3528 yeah man non lethal where possible is cannon to my knowledge
Actually there's a Canon dishonored book, it shows that there are ones he did kill and ones whom he spared
But the Canon ending is low chaos
@@zzzxxx7294 who did he choose kill? I've not read all the books but I don't remember that to be the case
@zombieclone98 granny rags, havelock and the lord regent, havelock I think shoots himself from memory
The only person who was killed on screen was granny rags
Princess emily? :D
Emily will be next up!
First
🤣
Good show sir
