don't state as fact what you only think: it's a bad habit.

I like the idea that the mark makes them fateless. However, there is evidence against it (unlike the non-evidence supplied by anon)

the outsider sees Corvo's future at the end of his journey. That MIGHT just be metatextual data for the player, but it might literally be the outsider seeing the future

I think it's more likely he works like the Architect in The Matrix: he forsees ALL POSSIBLE futures, and the likelihood of each. thus, when the UNLIKELY choice is made, he is surprised, but not unaware.

It could also be that he sees events, but not the choices made before that event comes to pass. Corvo will always fight daud, but how will he do it? no one but you, the player, knows.

So to sum up, hoping for ta'veren, will settle for the One
