Dishonored

Did Bioshock team make this game?
I know the title is Bethesda, but overall graphic, sound, even voices are similar to Biochock.

and the 'father figure-daughter' theme reminds me of Bioshock too.

I think empress's voice is same to Elizabeth, but not sure.

Though game play was more like half-life.

If you go to the store page it has who developed it and who published it on the right side.

I know, it shows different names, but I mean- dev team always moves from this company to that, so I thought some of Bioshock team might have made Dishonored.

Actually, some of the Dishonored team helped make Bioshock 2 (Arkane is listed in Bioshock 2's credits). As for similar graphics, that is due to both Dishonored and the Bioshock games being made in the Unreal engine. The voice actors for the Empress (April Stewart) and Elizabeth (Courtnee Draper) are not the same.
Looking at things from a big-picture perspective, there are a number of less formal connections. By tracing the careers of developers, company histories, and so forth, both games can be traced back to Ultima Underworld, the game that inspired, in one way or another, Wolfenstein 3D, The Elder Scrolls, System Shock (and Bioshock), Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis, Thief, and Dishonored. It's really interesting to try to trace the design lineage, if you have time. Look up Origin Systems, Looking Glass, Irrational, Arkane, Ion Storm, Warren Spector, Harvey Smith, Ken Levine, and Doug Church if you're interested in digging deep.

Wow, thx, it's really informative. I guess many designers and developers work in many different teams and games, or the team help others, inspire others, getting ideas from each other, I think it's amazing.

The list you said is very interesting. Actually it looks like a big map linking most major dev teams in game history.

Voice actors aren't usually considered part of the Dev-team - They are generally hired to their work independently. :P
I get what you're saying to some extent, but judging by voices and graphics alone is usually not indicative of a specific developers 'style'. Both Bioshock and Dishonored just happened to go for a sort of dark, slightly cartoon'y look.
