10 Important Video Game Plot Twists Barely Anyone Saw

10. The Truth Behind The Heart (Dishonored)

Arkane's Dishonored series puts plenty of wicked tools in your hands, ranging from killer weapons to clever gadgets. However, one of the most fascinating - and grotesque - is the Heart, a mystical object that helps you discover hidden collectables and whispers secrets to you if you squeeze it. It's a creepy yet useful tool. But if you point it in the right places and at the right people, you'll find it hides a shocking secret. 

It turns out that the Heart is made from that of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, whose death sets Dishonored's story in motion. While the game never explicitly states this, it's alluded to many times if you use it right, such as pointing it at Daud or Hiram Burrows and hearing the Heart lament trusting them. It also references having been to Dunwall Tower with Corvo before, as well as dialogue hints from Granny Rags about its nature. 

Luckily for those who missed this well-hidden twist in the first game, Dishonored 2 took the subtle allusions to The Heart's origin and blew them out of the water, officially revealing the truth in a far more straightforward manner.
