Anyone who has played the first Dishonored undoubtedly has a multitude of questions regarding some of the characters. Namely the most mysterious of them all, The Outsider. A figure bereft in intrigue and someone who never really lets anything vastly important slip. He is as much an enigma as anything and in Dishonored 2, there is some light shed on the figure's backstory.

Not only does the Outsider get some well-deserved explaining, but even Delilah does too. Where most cast her as the big bad, there is a certain degree of sympathy to be had if you start looking.

I won’t spoil the details, but in learning about her motives and her connections to the throne, you must wonder whether she is a wholly evil person, or if circumstance has dictated her actions.

Either way, the story and lore have a multitude of interesting points developed throughout the game, more than enough for any theorist to ponder on for a while.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
