Dishonored - Lore (The Forbidden Trinity of Gristol, Part 3: The Void)

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: Much shorter episode this time around. For a couple of reasons. 1) There's not much information on the Void. And what info there is offers very little insight into the nature of the place. 2) This segment was technically part of the last episode. I ended up chopping this piece off to shorten the length of the video, in a desperate attempt to make the editing/uploading process less of a strain on my Mac. Which brings me to the important part... The time has come: by the time you read this, my Patreon page will be up. I need help getting a new machine and ya'll can be just the game-changer I need. Literally, if each of my subscribers donate just a dollar I'll be able to afford a new computer, which means more content, at FASSSTTTERRRR rate (insert race car sound effect here). So if you can, donate and help me get this channel off the ground proper! Let's do this!! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4106047 Game Notes: Dishonored is a 2012 stealth action-adventure video game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was released worldwide in October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Set in the fictional, plague-ridden industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored follows the story of Corvo Attano, bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles. He is framed for her murder and forced to become an assassin, seeking revenge on those who conspired against him. Corvo is aided in his quest by the Loyalists—a resistance group fighting to reclaim Dunwall, and the Outsider—a powerful being who imbues Corvo with magical abilities. Several noted actors including Susan Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Carrie Fisher, Michael Madsen, Lena Headey and Chloë Grace Moretz provided voice work for the game. The game is played from a first-person perspective and allows the player to undertake a series of assassination missions in a variety of ways, with an emphasis on player choice. Missions can be completed through stealth, combat, or a combination of both. Exploring each level opens new paths and alternatives for accomplishing mission goals, and it is possible to complete all missions, eliminating all of Corvo's targets, in a non-lethal manner. The story and missions are changed in response to the player's violent actions or lack thereof. Magical abilities and equipment are designed to be combined to create new and varied effects.
