10 Video Game Facts Everyone Gets Wrong
7. The Outsider Is Just A Guy - Dishonored
The Outsider is one of the most enigmatic figures within the Dishonored universe. He's an otherworldly being that bestows dark powers on people that catch his interest, with little to no explanation as to why.
His presence within the series is quite significant, as is Outsider's interaction with Corvo and Emily, which starts off the story of both the first game and the sequel.
Due to his omniscient influence and the legends about him you find throughout the series, most people assume that the Outsider is a god of this universe, or at the very least some kind of primordial force that has existed since the dawn of time.
However, the reality of things is much simpler... and perhaps disappointing.
The Death of the Outsider, a sequel to Dishonored 2, reveals much about the titular character's nature, but hints can also be found in Dishonored 1.
The truth of the matter is that the Outsider is just a cursed human, and all of his godlike powers are a result of ancient magic.
Of course, the misconceptions people have about him are somehow more interesting, so if you want to pretend he's a god even after knowing the truth, no one is going to judge you.
