So is this an end of Dishonored franchise?

[НАГИБАТОР666]

or no?

It's said to be the end of the Kaldwell arc. Future games will presumably be set somewhere else in the Dishonored world.

It's fine

Shame because I would've loved to visit the different parts of their world. We got to see Dunwall, Karnaca, but there were always so many interesting places on the map :D

There is no more Outsider, the Void is a pure chaos now. The best we can get is a random boy (preferrably) who gets infused with those powers some time in the future... But otherwise, the whole story of Dishonoured is concluded. It's complete.

I do have to wonder if this was their point ?

The ending of DOTO only adresses Billie and The Outsider, there is no mention of anything else that happened in the Dishonored series, so it hardly felt like a conclusion of the entire series to me :/

It just felt like a conclusion to the DOTO game :p

We might get more Dishonored at some point down the road, with a new story (and hopefully set somewhere else in the Empire). Gotta get Prey 2 first though.
I'm also interested to see what Arkane does next, now that they've made their spiritual successors to the old Looking Glass immersive sims.

Well you CAN get the game in the same universe, but it will not be Dishonoured. The world as we knew it was shaped by the Outsider, who was trapped inside the Void. Now that he is outside the Void, there no one who can control it directly without invoking the same ritual. No one would receive those powers directly. There would be much less supernatural phenome and just go into stealth or slaughter. That Dishonoured as we knew it since Dishonoured 1 is over.

Yeah it's interesting when you think about the consequences of The Outsider being gone.

Corvo got his powers in D1&2 from the outsider
Daud got his powers in D1 from the outsider
Billie and the whalers got their powers from Daud in D1
Billie got her new powers from The Outsider in DOTO
Emily got her powers from The Outsider too

So everyone, even with some other person in between, got their powers from the outsider.

Shame to have this end of an era, but I'll always look fondly on my time with the Dishonored franchise :)

Why do you start a discussion, if you don't even take part in it? Give us something.

I don't mind it if it ends now, they wrapped it up well with The Outsider. Dragging on a franchise can kill it, look what they did to Mass Effect. I want to see how The Outsider ventures into the world though.

There's still two nations of the Isles and Pandyssia to explore :D I would certainly play a lot more if they brought any out, and I'm sure that there's a lot of history and backstory that we haven't seen that *surely* exists. They do love making these, so I can't imagine it's the last that we'll get. I don't think it'll be *after* DotO, for the above and obvious reasons. But why not before, that's been discussed in many threads.

I could see another game with the Outsider being outside of the void. Maybe you play as the outsider. He should still have his power, given what he knows of the void. The others should also still have their powers too, I guess.

But I can see a plot that results in him overcomming injustitices with powerful people belittling the little. I can see him perhaps getting revenge on the organisation who put him in the void to begin with (if it still exists).

With his knowledge of the void, he wouldn't be powerless at all. He could draw on that knowledge to make plans and execute them.

If not a plot where you play as the outsider, then a plot where you play as Billy with the outsider giving you instructions on how to bring down a powerful orgainisation... where the outsider uses his knowledge of the void to gain insight into the situation. He must have one very interesting perspective on reality given how long he's been in the void for.

[Zekiran]

I don't think that the Outsider as a mortal would go and execute anyone. I'm pretty sure that in four thousand years of watching people murder each other and be awful, the relief that he shows when Billie finally frees him from his void prison shows that he likely won't want anything to do with it.

I do think he'd be able to use the Void's power, but again, would he WANT to? His whole point with marking people, as Billie observes when she's convincing Daud to free him instead of kill him, is that he offered people the chance to make a difference and change how things went. Of course, people are awful and mostly abuse it. But the few that don't, are why he's free now.

Of course the way I've played it, generally speaking, the Eyeless are no more. At least, their leaders and those hidden up in a place that only they knew of, which is pretty much all that's going to ever find it again. I wonder whether the mine still has a rift in it, though. Clearly there's a lot of power in it, but without the Hold and the Outsider within it, does that rift still exist?
