One of my favorite parts is that Jasmine's heart comments on a high chaos Corvo. "I fear what you will teach our daughter."

[darrionrobinson]

Absolutely loved the Dishonored series. Those games will stick with me through my entire lifetime

[Thebettermartyr]

Pendleton actually hates both of his brothers and wanted to kill them himself rather than have Corvo do it. He has a journal talking about it in between missions. The big problem is that if he tried to get closer his brothers they would have moved Emily. He’ll pay you extra not because you didn’t kill his brothers, but because he can kill them later himself.

I played the Jindosh manor level probably 100 times. There's so many permutations, and it's awesome inspiring every time. From becoming a clockwork smashing machine to literally being a complete ghost and ending up in the walls before Jindosh EVER knows you're there, it is so, so ingenious and well executed. And mixing and matching approaches -- being a ghost at the start, then revealing yourself later, etc -- is just so fun. Dishonored 2 is definitely an amazing game and one of my favorites but that mission stands out so much to me.

1:48:00 Stiliton regaining his sanity has an even cooler effect on the house. in the past he spent his money to try and fit in with the "upper crust". Now he spends his money on things that actually matter to him.

[drunkenhobo]

21:04 this is the low chaos version of this event. The high chaos version has the infected overseer start coughing in front of his friends, revealing his infection to them. His friends then execute him on the spot as he begs to be let go

[Beisser]

The scene in Death of the Outsider, when the suppressors are shut off and Daud goes full murder on his captors will stay ingrained in my brain as one of the coolest scenes in gaming ever.

Especially after playing as him and freeing him as a powerless Billie. You rarely get such an immersive display of what you're actually doing in a game

[TheBikeOnTheMoon]

It is hinted that the void is actually a singularity of a black hole and dishonored's solar system is orbiting very close to said black hole. There is a note you can pick up in Dishonored 1 that mentions this. It's called "The Hungry Cosmos". When you compare how black hole is described in the note and how the heart described the void when you are in the void in D1, the two match each other perfectly.

Babe wake up, Gingy just dropped a retrospective video.

[BrockLayfield]

Dishonoured is such a great series. The collectors edition of Dishonoured 2 is really sick and I’m glad I got it

[LordandsaverGarryBuecy]

The fact that Sokolov disagreed with jindosh despite the things he created is actually a great moment of character growth for him. He has realized the damage his inventions have done and basically has a Tony stark moment.

[geordiejones]

Dishonored is such an amazing series because it doesn't try to do too much. Simple story that makes sense, simple mechanics, but the level design and world building are so very top notch that replaying is a must. The Outsider is legitmately one of my favorite supernatural figures. I just love the idea of some random guy forced into being a god who picks and choose who he blesses/curses. There's a lot of nuance to his existence and what that kind of figure might represent in their universe. Really hope we get Dishonored 3 one day.

[kal_emat]

Dauds DLC’s in the first game are probably the best pieces of side content I’ve ever played. Infinitely replayable and Daud is a badass. Another thing is that this games art style never gets old.

[jadenthomas]

These videos help me get through the drudgery of work so I appreciate what you do.

[sir-dame-sander]

never liked the “good vs evil” mechanic in games from this era but I think dishonored does it perfectly with the chaos system. in most games you can kill as many henchmen as you’d like, with your character’s morality depending solely on whether or not you spare people who are pretty much objectively evil. there’s no humanity afforded to the people doing what it takes to survive, but all the humanity in the world is given to those who are the furthest from being *human*. dishonored flips this around in such a satisfying way — your morality doesn’t depend on if you kill the dictators and the slavers and the serial murderers (although with most of their endings, it could be easily argued that killing them is the more merciful option anyway, which is an ambiguity I really like), it depends on if you kill the common people. standard henchman npcs are shown as complex beings with individual lives via the overheard conversions and the letters to one another and the general despair of the world in a way that I don’t think I’ve seen from any other game of the time. which isn’t to say murder-heavy beat-em-ups aren’t fun, mind you — just to say that if you’re going to deconstruct the genre, then you should do it like dishonored does in a way that goes past the surface level without ever falling into the unfortunate trope of “whether you’re good or evil depends entirely on if you kill or spare Johnny Warcrimes, who owns a machine that turns toddlers into jet fuel. killing him is the evil option, by the way”

[dreadfutures]

I got a ton of my friends into Dishonored last summer, and when I saw you were working on this I let all of them know. We have been so hyped for it :) and didn't disappoint! Great job gingy, this was a joy to listen to while I worked.

[PSIstormz]

I literally just started my DH2 Clean Hands/Ghost run yesterday and have been watching different retrospective videos at work now Gingy drops this blessed beast 😭

[SherlockStones]

13:00 as far as the outsider, I personally feel that the outsider is just a curious entity more than anything. If he can see all the outcomes, I think he's just choosing what he personally finds more entertaining or more interesting to watch, cause to him it has to have little or no magnitude to him, like watching a tv show he can influence a bit.

[DeitySkullKid]

To be fair about Granny rags, if you never talk to her and just grab the rune near her, her area is blocked off in the later mission, I was generally surprised when I saw videos of her appearing later because I never interacted with her, lol

[Liednard]

"It's easy to say it's a perfect game" if a flawless quote for Dishonored 1 :)
