A Declaration:
Welcome to the Gameological Dig, a channel devoted to playing games with obtuse and interesting stories. The aim of this channel is to treat these game worlds like an archeological site, meant to be unearthed and studied, so that we may better understand their plots, characters and themes.
Episode Notes:
A one-off for the much requested "Dishonored "2 and "Death of the Outsider." This episode covers the expanded mythos. Ever since D2's release, I've been bombarded with questions about the lore, and if I was planning on doing a follow up to my Forbidden Trinity series. Truthfully, I really hadn't planned on it, as I felt D2 did little to expand our understanding of the Outsider or the Void. As much as I loved it as a game, the lore felt very underwhelming. However, the lore in DOTO is incredible and makes me glad I waited. There's a great deal to unpack and it was a pleasure to invest myself in this world once more. I hope you enjoy it.
P.S.: I had to rerecord my lines a few times, so there will be moments when the audio quality is noticeably more butt. Sorry again.

After 4,000 years of cosmic imprisonment, and being set free once again onto the mortal plane, the Outsider finally got to do what he always wanted - gather for whiskey & cigars tonight!

I've just finished Dishonored DotO again, trying to find everything I've missed. Every book, every bit of writings. Hearing quotes...etc. Grew to love the story even more than I already have. My personal way was the non-lethal way of removing the Outsider. Billie, being so forgiving and sparing him, you could see his expression lighting up of being so thankful. Then, she offered to guide him out of the void so he could live his days out normally. With all of this happening, I wonder if the 'outsider' (Referring as that, since we still don't know his actual name) and Billie had a conversation while making their way out of the Void. It's quite a passage to get out of there... and all that time, I wonder if he perhaps told her about a lot of secrets of the world, or... perhaps about his own past in a way. Assuming that he trusts her, especially after being so thankful that he was spared. I dunno, just random thoughts floating my mind if they had some kind of conversation. (Perhaps if there would be a new Dishonored game, we could see an older Billie, knowing a lot more about the world than before because of it... But I doubt this'd happen. Again, just random curious thoughts!)

This is what i do as well after playing a good game or seeing a good movie. I ponder about the events and people of that fiction, what their lives would be like, what theoy would think and talk about. I imagine myself in their world a little longer. For me the most curious interaction between the Outsider and Billie was when he came into her cabin and forced the mark and the horrific transformation upon her. He never did that before, as far as we know, he always gave his annointed the option to take his gift or not. But not with Billie, he forced it upon her. This didnt sit right with me until i started to better understand the Outsider and his motivation. His actions and interferences with the world. Perhaps he saw a million different outcomes with his vision and they all ended very badly for the world IF Billie didnt accept his gift. Perhaps it would have doomed him to be trapped there for another millenia before the next capable soul that could figure out the location of his altar. I think that he forced his power on Billie in order to manipulate the outcome of events in his favor. He knew that with the current circumstances Billie would be the best agent capable of getting to the altar and releasing him, one way or another, so he could finally be free. And so he did... TY for your nice comment and if you really like these deep story driven games i recommend all the Bioshock games and the Legacy of Kain series, which in my book are the best stories in video game history. Enjoy.

Holy shit yes! I'm so glad you finally returned to Dishonored again, and you definitely didn't disappoint! Death of the Outsider was pretty bittersweet for me. It's great to finally come back to Karnaca, but knowing that Death of the Outsider might be the last Dishonored game for a while was pretty sad to hear about. Hopefully Arkane Studios' next game is just as good as Dishonored and Prey. I'm curious, what were your thoughts on Death of the Outsider? Seeing Daud finally pass away was pretty depressing...

Aaand they didn't. Instead they made a mediocre sandbox roguelite game with a minimal story and the powers from Dishonored and many guns... Such a shame. The good writers must have left the team after the Dishonored games...

You know what I wonder? With the Outsider freed from cosmic imprisonment and set loose to wander the world, wouldn't people recognize him as the literal god of the Void that they have seen in their dreams? Half the world would absolutely lose their shit, and the other half, mostly consisting of the Overseers, would get extremely ticked off and immediately go into kill mode at the very sight of him just walking down the street.

@mancamiatipoola 6 ай бұрын

Interesting point. Im sure he would think of this and just disguise his face in a way when walking out in daylight. Or maybe he would just disfugure his own face in order to leave a modest quiet life, like he always wanted. I also dont think he would keep any of his powers and would simply become a simple man, enjoying the platitude of being simply human without seeing the multitudes of the multivers or hearing the thoughts of millions of people. He would just retire in a quiet little house at the sea side and just enjoy a very simple life with his cats and his simple decorum. Or perhaps he would acquire a boat and travel to Pandissia and get lost there for ever...

This comes far late, but in light of Deathloop - I think there are some interesting parallels to what The Void and The Anomaly mean to the world of Dishonored. Intentionally or just casually done, Arkane seems to imply that world of Deathloop (Blackreef Isle specifically) is the future of the Empire of The Isle. I find interesting that your video on the Void and some of what it implies (that it touches past, present, and future, especially) makes a great sense in light of what we learn of The Anomaly and its characteristics during that game. I'm not sure how interested you are in that game, but just for some of the lore, it adds further to what you have discussed in these videos.

Maybe more explanation of the void, but with those answers bring up more questions. Let’s also hope they bring the old voice actor back for the Outsider, if he appears.

Techy The lore is the lore. How you play doesn’t affect backstory and history. If you’re talking about Billie, I presume she killed the Overseers/Sisters since it was a mission. I’m working off the assumption that side quests are canon. Even if they aren’t, again, the lore remains the lore.
