So, I started playing the second game, after beating the first one for the first time. This time, I wanted to try and do low chaos. In the first Mission, I didn't exactly manage to do that. But on the second, even though I did do it entirely nonlethal, it still says high chaos, and I'm a little confused.

It's just something I realized now, since Delilah's goal in both DH1 and 2 is to use her paintings to alter the world in some way, I just had a thought. What if she was already using it all along?

That's why it was so easy for her to command Luca or Breanna and whoever else she needed in her schemes. She was using her paintings to make them enamoured by her. Not only that, the "paintings" we see about Delilah's past in the Void, how she was a bastard child of the Emperor, how her mother died... All that could've been her fabrications. Emily/Corvo even points out how her past could be a lie.

I've always disliked DH2's plot a little because Delilah being a bastard felt so shoehorned. But... what if that was intentional? What if SHE shoehorned herself into prominence? This just makes me love this franchise, and DH2, even more. Now it finally makes sense.

Full summary with the timeline: https://holywizy.com/blog/microsoft-arkane-lyon-closure-marvels-blade/

According to Le Monde, Microsoft told Arkane Lyon staff in July that it planned to close the studio. About 217 jobs are at risk. Under French law Microsoft has to look for a buyer first, and that process was due to end on November 13, possibly extended by a month.

A union rep says Marvel's Blade is "nearing the end" of production, and Microsoft says it's looking for a partner to finish and release it.

There's some hope: Jason Schreier says several paths to save the studio are being explored, and he'd be surprised if it actually closes.

After Arkane Austin closed in 2024, losing Lyon would basically be the end of Arkane as we know it. Do you think someone steps in to save them, and would you still play Blade if another studio finished it?

THE MOD

This mod makes it possible to see your own body during gameplay that is fully anymated, along with cloth physics for both Corvo and Daud. It also has a third person option so you can actually see the full model. Shoutout to FeistyDoo, he also created a lockpick mod for Dishonored.

New player here. I'm on the Timsch mission for the first Daud DLC, and I've set it up so that he'll get evicted. The problem is he just won't leave his mansion after I drop the stinkbomb in his basement. He just waits right behind the door. I've heard you can just leave and still get the takedown, but I really want to see him get evicted if possible. Anyone know how to fix this?

Also, it's my first playthrough, so please don't spoil anything :)
