Dishonored - The Knife of Dunwall

User Summary

The Knife of Dunwall follows the assassin Daud as he seeks redemption for murdering Empress Jessamine in Dishonored's main story.

Daud has his own abilities including: "Void Gaze", which combines the functions of Corvo's "Dark Vision" with those of The Heart, guiding Daud to runes and bone charms; "Chokedust", which dazes enemies; and an ability which allows Daud to summon his assassin followers. Additionally Daud also has his own gadgets such as stun mines, a concealed wrist-mounted bow, and arc mines that disintegrate enemies. The Knife of Dunwall's plot runs parallel to that of Dishonored's, providing Daud's perspective on events, and introduces new locations such as a whale slaughterhouse and Dunwall's affluent legal district. The Knife of Dunwall also features an additional difficulty level, "Master Assassin", which is made available after completing the content.

Quotes:

"From the moment she met you all she wanted was to be a legendary assassin. She watched you, learned from you, and when she saw weakness she struck, just like you taught her. Only you were a little better. In the seconds before she died, she remembered the first time she met you, when you caught her breaking into the school and spared her life. When you made her an assassin it was the proudest moment of her life. She had no regrets. And you?" - Outsider

"There are times when I delight in seeing lives end and chaos spread, but the path you've taken here honors your skills. I give my Mark sparingly. I've seen it used for power, for love, for money. For strange obsessions that drove the wearer mad. But very, very rarely, for redemption." - Outsider

"No one's watching now, except you. And me of course. I see everything. I see forever, and right now I see a man walking a tightrope over a sea of blood and filth. The Empress is dead, and the water's rising." - Outsider

"Don't end up like Arnold Timsh. He died before he could say his last words. For what it's worth, they were "I'm sorry."" - Outsider

"The end is coming, and it's been glorious to watch you throw your will against the machinery you set into motion. All things end, all things burn to ash. But you, my friend, burn bright." - Outsider

"I’ve learned that our choices always matter, to someone, somewhere. And sooner or later, in ways we cannot always fathom, the consequences come back to us."
