Talk:Rumors and Sightings: Daud/@comment-3242762-20131101175848/@comment-16533050-20131101181942

First, it's an Overseer's transcript, so the above 'facts' are more rumors than anything else. As you can see above the phrases 'According to legend...' and ' purported to have...' are thrown out repeatedly, thus making this supposition at best.

Also, (and this is no big spoiler), according to in game play during the Knife of Dunwall DLC, Delilah speaks with Daud and informs him that several of her coven admire/are in awe of him and his Whalers, but that doesn't matter to her.

The Overseers see all heretics the same regardless of their allegiance, so Corvo would be struck down as quickly as Daud and his Whalers. They like to lump the whole batch together.

Thirdly, this was done before the devs actually finished the Brigmore Witches and even the Knife of Dunwall, so they may have changed their minds on certain things.

I personally like to to think it was false rumors, so that the story makes more sense, rather than reconning the story.
