| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 09:54 AM PDT many have wondered about Delilah and what she really wanted in Dishonored 2. What she had been doing in the void and why the final level is always awful. I have a few theories I would like to throw out and see if anyone could add or correct my theory. In the Brigmore Witches Delilah is in the Manor working on a painting of a tree. Its roots planted in the void. She would take a lock of Emilys hair taken from the dressmaker in Drapers Ward and use that to possess Emily from the inside and live her life. Her life was horrible and there is no going back so why not start again possessing Emily? She fails and is cast into the void either stabbed on the painting or bound to it. Daud leaves her to drift until the events of Dishonored 2 and her return in Stiltons Manor. Unable to possess Emily she now decided to rally allies in Karnaca and take her birthright directly. She decides to lead a violent coup and rule Dunwall like a tyrant. She has chosen the High Chaos path for herself and for everyone around her. Which is why Dunwall looks like Hell. If Corvo had taken the high chaos route in the first game and saved Emily this is what it likely would have looked like, and indeed if Corvo takes the Black for the high chaos ending in Dishonored 2 it would look like this as well. In Dishonored 1 we enter the void and its pretty and blue and everything is weird and floating around showing us our path and spoiling certain things if we know what we're looking at. But in Dishonored 2 we're walking on rocks in the beautiful atmosphere created by the aptly named Void Engine. I noticed going up to the archway where we meet the Outsider that is featured in paintings scattered about the game, that behind this place of rocks the area that holds the heart is fragmented heavily and is taking a strange shape. I assumed it was symbolic of the heart. No. It is taking the shape of Delilahs blood briars. The nasty trees that the witches can summon in combat. The form is very faint, but I speculate it is there. The tree Delilah conjured in the Brigmore manor never left the Void, and she is putting it to use. Later in the game we are pulled into the void to hear her story. While this is happening there is some environmental story telling taking place as well. The place is formed of harsher rocks and her trees, briars, roots, whatever you want to call them are wrapping around the void progressively now. I believe that locations in the void correspond with locations in the world. She took you into the void as the outsider had, from the room on the Dreadful Wale. As the Outsider had previously led you from your room in the Hound Pits Pub in Dishonored 1. At the end of this segment we are sent back into the world having heard her side of the story and seeing that her manipulation of the Void has literally taken root. In Stiltons Manor we learn that the Void is leaking out of a pin prick created when Delilah returned and while this wound was healed if we save Aramis Stilton, the wound still exists as we learn in Death of The Outsider when the Outsider gives Billie back her wounds and giving her the arm and eye. Before I get off topic note once more that the eye and the arm are exclusively made of that familiar rock and mechanical making the Outsider is associated with, no roots or trees there. But when the Outsider brings us to the Void once more to ex posit his origin story in a segment that seemingly screams "BUY THE EXPANSION BUY THE EXPANSION!!!!" But once again, environmental story telling. This is where the outsider was created. Once again I theorize that locations in the Void and the real world correspond. There would be immense power in this particular place. Look around you. The stone. Even the Eyeless cultists, and of course that ever growing tree wrapped tightly around this place where the Outsider was born. Delilah has been very, very busy it seems. While the game tells us shes been working on her coup for 14 years Neither Corvo or Emily say a word about whats happening to the Void, becuase it is of course beyond their comprehension. Finally we return to Dunwall after taking Delilahs soul from the literal Harry Potter Horcrux and swapping it for Jessamines soul. Here we see Delilahs masterwork. Dunwall is a Hellhole overrun by witches and gangs, abandoned by everyone else. When you get inside the Palace We learn that shes creating particular bone charms from whalebone and human skulls in the Chapel. I believe this is simply her spitting on the Overseers placing yet another tree right there in the chapel, possibly THE tree. The source of her power, ever growing in the void. We come to the rooftop of Dunwall Tower to find her, this mirrors Dishonored 1s High Chaos where the Lord Regent Hiram Burrows is locked in the tower for his safety. The reason this level is such a mess by design is because we aren't standing in the result of our choices. We are standing in the result of Delilahs. She chose the High Chaos route for herself and so everyone associated with her is influenced toward cruelty and the world suffers as a result. This is what Dunwall would look like at the end of Dishonored 1 if Corvo saved Emily in a high chaos playthrough and tried to rule on the mass grave. Or what the world would continue to look like if Corvo left Emily in stone and took the throne himself. It is what it is because Delilah made it so. This level is genius! Entering the throne room we return Delilahs spirit and she enters her final painting where she beckons us to "See how she will reshape all things" Or something along those lines depending on your approach. We go into the void and everything is white stone. She has changed the void, creating her world. She ruined the real world because it was Jessamines world, she had no place there she hated it she trashed it and left it in high chaos but here everything is bright white marble and she is working to make everyone love their Empress. My theory that locations in the void correspond with their void locations comes in here. She wanted to possess Emily and steal her life so she took her hair and tried to use some form of effigy to take her place. But now she wants to discard the world and make another where she is the Empress so she needs to build it on top of the old Tower. This may not be the first time such a thing was done. In Dishonored 1 The Outsider says to Corvo at the Shrine near Granny Rags that this city was built on the bones of an older city before. Perhaps in the manner Delilahs doing it or in the literal sense that the city had fallen and was physically rebuilt. Depending on our choice here all of Delilahs choices are ended by a knife in the heart and her neck snapped or she is free to sail into the void in her perfect world all her own but in any case she is locked in the void forever now. The bonecharm on the throne will lock her in the void if she was not killed but the rift wont close until Delilahs conjuring is stopped. This I believe is the second Rift to be created after the one in Aramis Stiltons Manor. To continue a little further if you read the book The Veiled Terror there are rifts appearing all over the isles and Billie and Emily work to close them. I believe that While the Outsiders "death" made it worse, Delilah started the snowball rolling with her corruption starting from Brigmore Manor. How much her power influenced the Void itself could tell us how things had gotten so bad. Might she perhaps have sought to take the Outsiders power completely? There ends my fever dream of conspiracy I would love to hear your thoughts! [link] [comments] | ||

| Why did Martin betray the Abbey? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:25 PM PDT I've started playing Dishonored again recently and I keep thinking about it: Why did Martin betray the Abbey? He was discovered with the plot to save Corvo from Coldridge Prison, but why did he do it? Was it because he didn't agree with them anymore and wanted a way out? Or was it because he didn't like the way everything would turn with Hiram taking over and thought Corvo would be able to put everything back to normal as he is the Lord Protector?

| Breanna Ashworth just randomly does. Posted: 10 Mar 2020 03:09 PM PDT So I've been playing my first playthrough of D2 on PS4 and I'm just minding my own business exploring the Royal Observatory when I out of nowhere get the "Target Assassinated" notification. I have now idea why this happened and I can't find anything about it on the Internet. Has anyone of you every heard of this bug? [link] [comments] | ||

| Do Corvo/Emily keep their powers? Posted: 09 Mar 2020 05:08 PM PDT So after the Outsiders death/rebirth so to speak, and he is released from the void does that mean Corvo and/or Emily lose their supernatural powers given to them by the outsider? I mean maybe their powers are tied to the void itself and not the outsider but, then how would anyone else beside them get powers too such as daud. Also, does this apply to Daud and Billy too? Do they also lose their powers? Or at least billy because daud "died" in DOTO [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 01:13 AM PDT So...? Thats it? What happened next? all that high chaos, low chaos thingy, kill or not kill... Nothing? Don't get me wrong, even though i want to strangle the one(s) responsible for placing runes and bonecharms in certain places. The game felt good and the atmosphere, especially at times when I had completely sweeped an area of collectibles and didn't need to worry about them anymore, was glorious. But the ending created more question than answers, killing the ender dragon in minecraft would have been more meaningful. What was the non lethal option at the end? Exactly "how" was she planning to change the world by her will? What is her connection to the outsider? The otsider mentioned she found his island? How? How exactly do you find an island in the void? Isn't the void kind of infinite? Thats like finding a needle in an infinite pile of haystack. What are the connections between whales (bones), runes, and the outsiders mark? The timepiece, did the outsider just happen to have it or did he create it? If so, is manipulating time one his abilities? What abilities Delaila herself and her witches were using? Those trees and thorns seemed wierd and powerful. Does delaila have her own mark? I don't yet know what happens in the dlc's, but sadly, the death of the outsider's name seems pretty straightforward... As I know it, the oursider only meets with important, strong willed people, mostly royals. It wouldn't be surprising to me if in dishonored 3 it is revealed he is the ultimate villain. As we don't know the full extent of his powers and abilities, and we really don't undrestand much about what his mark actually is and how it works. For all we know, he could take control of everyone who bears his mark in a snap, and have the world under his will. Delaila may have been the only one alive powerful enough to stop him, and he had us dispose of her... And now that she is gone, nothing stands in his way.... With helping you, he completely disposed of the only 2 people who were strong willed enough to match him, your mother, who 'was' still partly alive' (In the first game those who killed Emily's mother had powers associated with the outsider) , and Delaia. Anyway, all in all, a great game but has lots of room for polishing and improvement in the next sequel. A thank you to the developers. And if someone knows some answers to all these questions, please share! [link] [comments] |
