Before making the final product, one of the first ideas for Dishonored was to set the place of the game initially inspired to the medieval Japan and 17° century London- before becoming later an London-like place of the 19° century (cit. Wikipedia). What makes me very curious is how the "Japanese Dishonored" would have looked like from the point of the ambient, of people's rigid behavior (note that Japaneses used to be very serious people time ago with rigid education), how Jessamine Kadwin would have looked like in her royal kimono, if Corvo Attano was also dishonored with having his ponytail cut (it was a way of dishonoring a samurai - ironic the double meaning of Dishonored, isn't it?) for killing the Empress, if Daud and his men were a sort of killer ninjas (meaning illecit ninjas) and so on. In this version I think this Dishonored would have more meanings than the original.

So, what do you think of all this? Would have you agreed of a Japanese Dishonored? Or do you like the original? Have you ever wondered about the early concepts of the game? Fell free to express! :)
