    Connecting dishonored to death loop we see what happens without said God in place after you finally escape the loop

    • @Nurr0
      @Nurr0 5 месяцев назад +1

      Is that due to the void though, or the loop itself? I think in some of Wenjie's notes she remarks that they can't be sure what effect their system will have on the broader world/timeline. Not sure what to think myself, it could be either/both since the loop is based around the island anomaly which is itself void related if I recall.

      @@Nurr0 Loop starts 111 years after Outsider is separated from the void, during which times there were some rifts in reality, with Blackreef being the most powerfull known one - and it could even been there before. Then the loop lasted almost 300 years. Outsider mentioned that he was bound to the void so that the void is controlled in some way.
      Weinje is pissed because she knows that loop could have been going on for thousands for years and she doesn't remember it, and none of her copies remember that! She also knows that the loop can have terrific effect on outside world! She and Dorsey are the worst of them as they are doing what they do, knowing that thousands might die.

      @@ericlewisauthor if you want some tips from a dude who had to make a speech in front of the president of a private college. This is still your work and lore that you gathered up for us to consume so it’s okay to take some pride in it. It’s hard to not sound monotone but in certain situations sometimes that’s what a voice over calls for. So if you want to sound less boring (I honestly think your good with how you talk) try to include some up and downs with the pitch in your voice, not speeding up but it’s like putting the whip cream and sprinkles on top. Keep at it and you’ll have that influencer voice your going after. I’ll be watching my man!

    With time being warped due to the boundaries between the real world and the void being so thing - i think the eye of the dead god IS the eye of the outsider. His eyes turning red could be a hint of this.
    The site of his creation caused such a rift in time and space that it overlaps with the site (/time) of his death.

    I’m pretty sure that the game deathloop is set in the same universe as Dishonored, just way in the future. If so, this could explain what happened to the world in Deathloop. Spoilers for Desthloop btw. At the end of the game we see that the whole world has been completely changed, especially the sky as it has become filled with orange and blue cloud like things. Maybe this is what happens when the void has no avatar and the boundaries between worlds break.

    • @OldSkullSoldier
      @OldSkullSoldier 4 месяца назад

      It was confirmed by the devs. but even without it, you can hear sounds from Dishonored in recording in one of the bunkers, some items in the world have logos from Dishonored world and in the finale pistols have "oil cartridges".

      The numbers associated with the symbols that make up the Outsider's Mark are the combination to the locked box to the left. Beyond that it isn't written anywhere whether the order is an alphabet or if Malchiodi just assigned them randomly.

    @permeus2nd 6 месяцев назад +1

    So while I love the Dishonoured game I hate DOTO it’s something that didn’t need an explanation something that’s best left for theorising and postulation, personally I feel that this was the dev trying to put a cap on the setting so they in there mind can move on to better things, a truly preposterous idea, they built a fantastic setting that they can do almost anything inside of and they in their limited minds see it as holding them back 🤦.
    They then make deathloop which is clearly just a dishonoured game without the brand or the lore but looks to be in the same setting with the same gameplay, even the same powers (where that faceparm emoji I think I’ll be needing that a few times here)🤦.
    So I have said similar things about the Mass Effect setting there is so much you can do with it that doesn’t involve characters we have already had games around, even changing genres! You could make a RTS game or a 4X (talking specifically about ME on this next one) you can make a stealth assassin game following Thane or Bach to dishonoured make a doom like game where you play a marked soldier fighting in a war against another nation that’s gotten super advanced tech somehow.
    There was just so much more that could have been done with the outsider but now thinking of ways around it what if killing his body didn’t do what it was meant to and all that the death of the outsider did was release his physical bond and now he is even stronger? it just took him a while to pull himself back together after his body was killed? I know undoing dead’s is cheap but it was a bad idea to start with.
