User blog:Arcius Rhetus/Details You Might Have Missed Across Dishonored 2


 * On bulletin boards throughout the game, you might be able to see small graffiti that says "Kill the rats!". These date back to the days of the Rat Plague. The very same graffiti can also be seen in The Tales from Dunwall, and of course throughout Dishonored.


 * The phrase "Minted Under Imperial Authority" is stamped on all silver and gold ingots in the game. Back in Dishonored, ingots minted during Hiram Burrows rule were stamped with "Minted Under Regency Authority".


 * The icon of the pistol on the top-left corner of the screen actually shows how many bullets you have left before you have to reload.
 * A few details about the Grand Guard's uniform and equipment:
 * The equivalents of Dunwall's Lower City Watch and City Watch guards seem to be merged into a single group in the Grand Guards. It is, however, easy to distinguish the two types as they wear slightly different uniforms. One type of Guards doesn't have helmets, wears backpacks, and looks thinner than guards of the other type.
 * Elite and Veteran Guards also wear slightly different uniforms. Elites wear silver helmets, while Veterans wear Golden ones with red plumes.
 * Some Veterans shoot Explosive Bullets, and you can use Time Stop to grab them even before you acquire the blueprint.
 * Grand Guard 11.jpg regular Grand Guards wear black armoured vest that protect them from ranged attacks (most projectiles ricochet off the vests and Electrical Bursts in Death of the Outsider don't have any effect).


 * The are a few guards who wear mask and goggles, probably to counter the effect of either dust storms or Howlers' hallucinogenic powder. Gameplay-wise, these don't actually have any protective effect.
 * The painting Serkonan Legends, Old Sea Beast is likely a depiction of a mythical creature called Devourer that roams the sea between the Empire and Pandyssia.
 * There is also a drawing by Emily (found in both Dishonored and Dishonored 2) which was done on a poster featuring a giant tentacled monster attacking a ship, likely depicting the same creature.
 * At the end of the High Overseer Campbell mission, at the Hound Pits Pub, Samuel mentioned that "Sailors tell tales of monsters far out to sea".
 * In The Knife of Dunwall, an audiograph by Bundry Rothwild mentioned one of his whaling ships being rammed by something off the coast of Pandyssia. His engineers said that it's not a whale. [Credit: MDGeistMD02]
