Yeah, absolutely. I was just agreeing to your essential thought.

In general I wouldn't call it industrial revolution if a game is doing what dishonored did (or a cartoon like LoK). I know people start to get sick of this term but i would describe it as "steampunk" and I include games/series that use an era after victorian times as well (so 20s too).

To sum this up: Dishonered, Fable 3, Bioshock Infinite, LoK.... they all use steampunk in very diversified ways.

Probably still a better term than industrial revolution although it fits very well with dishonored.

edit: just read a few posts below that there was already a similar discussion about that ;) just to make myself clear before any stones are coming up on me: I am aware that steampunk is actually a very specific genre. I am just expanding this term as it is almost impossible to find fitting descriptions for game/series settings if people insist that something HAS to be exactly as it was meant in the very beginning. My essential point about steampunk is more the fusion of old fashioned technologies with with an almost futuristic outcome than an victorian setting..... spare meee! ;D
