I still don't think Daud is wearing a mask:

1. He is clearly not wearing one at the assault on the empress. He doesn't seem to care if he is recognized or not. Why should he start wearing one after that all of a sudden?

2. It is true that several people in Dunwall state that they recognize Daud from the posters, BUT the posters show a whaler in a mask. The picture is black and white and does not show the colors of his uniform. So, if people see a man in a whaler's mask, how will they know it is Daud and not a random whaler?

3. Thomas states that the masks will not protect against the poisonous gas in the textile mill. But couldn't this also simply mean that he and the other whalers can't come to Daud's aid if the gas will be released and/or that it won't help Daud to put one on? Daud will have to use the antidot no matter if  he is wearing a mask or not.

4. Is Daud supposed to wear the mask all the time, also at his hideout? You never see him put a mask on or off (the overseer mask he wears at Coldridge prison being the exception), while Corvo clearly puts his mask on and off several times. Plus, on the occasions Daud is encountered in the main game during the Flooded District mission, he is not wearing a mask either.

5. After it's been equipped, Corvo can utilize the zoom function of the mask at all times, even at times when he is clearly not wearing it. This has been explained to be most likely a developmental oversight. Thus, it is more likely that Daud's ability to zoom is due to the same game mechanics as in the main game, rather than an indicator that he is wearing a mask.
