First, there was a rat plague. The assassination of an empress. The kidnapping of her daughter. False blame cast on her loyal bodyguard. A great conspiracy.
Then came a group of loyalists. New allies. An opportunity to right a wrong.
And finally, the touch of the void. A gift from the black-eyed bastard.
The Mark of the Outsider.

Dishonored is and will forever be my favourite game series of all time. I return to each title time and time again, and without fail: they always feel like home. The story, the worldbuilding, the characters, the visuals, the gameplay: they are all precious to me and have served as a great source of inspiration in my own creative works.

SEMBLANCE
I usually prefer low chaos, non-lethal stealth playthroughs. I do occasionally enjoy a high chaos carnage run, especially when doing no powers, but I'm not a huge fan of forcing my way through. I feel like the game loses a lot of its charm with heavily actiony approaches, i.e. by missing out on dialogues and NPC events. Despite playing the games numerous times already, I still always like to complete all side objectives and loot all areas. For me, slowly and carefully, going through the environments and enjoying the level design are a big part of the experience. I like to take my time really immersing myself in the world.

"This place is the end of all things. And the beginning. All of time is meaningless here. Neither seconds nor centuries. Someday this place will devour all the lights in the sky.
The one who walks here is all things. Cradle songs of comfort and bones gnawed by teeth.
This is the place from which those who dabble in the black arts draw their power. And this place is their doom.
