Well, not necessarily that you're a terrible person, but that there are basically no "good" decisions available. We're not talking Bioshock, where the choices are to save orphans or violently murder them.

But yeah, while the parallels between the real world and the world of Dishonored may not be exact, the similarities are really interesting. It even works on a geographic level, since Gristol and Serkonos are conveniently similar to Britain and Italy/Spain, and the behaviors of the characters in Dishonored mirror practices within those real-world nations. In that way, comparisons to the real world can inform our understanding of this one.
