Instead let&#8217;s talk about the Outsider. The Outsider says to Daud after a low chaos mission, &#8220;Surprisingly clean work for a man with so much blood on his hands. Did the Empress change you? Or do you think this will help you dodge what&#8217;s coming? You&#8217;d better hurry. You&#8217;re running out of rope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You know, that&#8217;s actually pretty good. Those are interesting questions. Why is this career assassin suddenly working so hard to spare lives? Like the question of &#8220;Are you the Nerevarine?&#8221; in Morrowind, it&#8217;s something the player needs to decide for themselves. It&#8217;s an introspective sort of roleplaying. I don&#8217;t know that this kind of fill-in-the-blanks-yourself approach to character could carry an entire game, but they do make for interesting little moments.<\/p>\n<p>Too bad these questions came from the mouth of the God of Boring. I guess you can&#8217;t really fix that in the DLC.<\/p>\n<p>Or can you? It might have been interesting to make it so the Outsider has a different face and personality to each person. Daud sees a little mischief urchin, Emily sees a crafty old woman, and Corvo sees Mr. Boring. I don&#8217;t know if that idea would &#8220;click&#8221; for the audience, or if people would just assume they were dealing with a different god.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) I know everyone is going to want to talk about the emergent bugs that Josh discovers, but I&#8217;m content to let that stand on its own.
