Corvo in Dishonoured 2 ?

[Noble Ten]

Feel kinda ikky about it. Heres why

I envisioned at the end of the game, Corvo would of committed suicide. He avenged the murder of his queen who he failed to protect in his life duty, Then save and restored Emily (the queens daughter) to the throne. From there he would of commited suicide to join his queen in death (or maybe as attonement to his failure). If I recall the lore, his whole life from childhood was to serve and protect the queen as her personal bodyguard, and yet he failed. So I seen this as a fitting ending to his tale. After leaving a trail of blood .......

So um, hearing covro is in Dis 2 ? I feel kinda dissappointed about it. New characters would be fine. But I am under the impression Corvos tale should of ended. :/

Corov had no intention to become an assassin. It was all about avenging and saving Emily. Tieing up the loose ends. So I thought.......

"Corvo, you've avenged the people who wronged you, and put Emily on the throne, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm taking Emily to Disneyworld so that there can be another coup that causes her to lose the throne again so Bethesda has a hackneyed excuse to make Emily the badest mofo besides me and Daud that Serkonos has ever seen . . . and I really suck at being a bodyguard."

/sigh.... I wouldn't say some of you are trolls,, its just you cant think outside the box :/ So you jump to calling me an idiot as an easy solution.

And no, he wouldnt do it right in front of Emily if he "were" to take that action. Hes not an ass. He didnt even want Emily to know hes been killing.

We understand you have your opinion. Many of our opinions of your opinion is "that's ridiculous". Some of us are nicer about it.

I am a jerk intentionally some of the time. "But job done, I have nothing to live for, even though the Empress told me to look after Emily, better kill myself" makes absolutely no sense to us.

People think that corvo dies at the end of the first game, and he did, but ever noticed how old emily is then? around her 40's or something while in dishonored 2 she is about 25. So the ending of dishonored 1 takes place after dishonored 2

Just in case you didn't know, Dishonored 2 takes place 15 years after what happens in Dunwall. As far as the ending(s) of the first game, i think those are likely outcomes, but not absolutely according to the Outsider.

There are two ways how a suicide of a character can be implemented into a narrative, first being personal depression, and the other cultural habits. The first is contrary to the character Corvo and even the whole concept of the game. In the game it is said, that he started to train his abilities from the moment on he gets imprisioned to set things right as far as he can if he can get out. Emilys story is told mainly by the way how she overcomes her mothers death. Players have sympathy for her, because she stays strong, i think in a a way, a child would normally not be able to, at least not to that grade.

(So far) there is no story point which says that Corvo is blaming himself for the death of the Empress. This also makes it easier for the player to identify with him, because those feelings would be irrational, even though they appear in real life.I don't think that Corvo blaming himself is not a possible element of Dishonored 2, maybe for his high chaos story. The same applies to Emily. Her hatred for the people who killed her mother might get stronger, if other things in her life go wrong. But so far, main characters don't despair in these situations. If their mind turns dark, they identify with it and get bad personalities.

For the cultural aspect: Suicide as a way of keeping your honour in defeat or failing like the japanese seppuku just doesn't exist in the world of Dishonored at this moment.

Edit: I just remembered, that the first concept of the world of Dishonored was mainly based on japanese culture, in that case there would have been more space for a ritual suicide element. To apply that element to Corvo though, he would need to have additional character elements that are contrary to the current, so ritual suicide would only be an option for defeated enemies. I think suicide of the main character even if you succeeded no matter if low or high chaos, would also be very dissatisfying for the player.

Edit: Joining discussions at 1 in the morning is a bad idea, will contribute something that makes sense later

Sorry, but your headcanon was wrong way before Dishonored 2. Both the low and high chaos endings show Corvo continuing to serve as Emily's guard for quite some time; he's only shown dead once she's a grown woman, when he would have been pretty old.

The only ending where he could have possibly killed himself shortly afterward was the ending where Emily dies, and we already know that ending isn't canon. (And any ending where Corvo just stands there doing nothing while Emily is killed was never going to be canon anyway.)

the outsider had a hell of a entertaining story to see and now its going to be even better
