Talk:Dishonored: The Wyrmwood Deceit/@comment-16533050-20160529184356/@comment-4807396-20160531155425

Given how often Harvey Smith has answered questions about Dishonored's lore from fans on Twitter, I doubt the devs would be against working with the author of an official tie-in to get the details right. That said, there was a certain other video game tie-in novel, Mass Effect: Deception, that supposedly had input from that series' devs yet contradicted the series lore so much fans put together a list of all the errors online and pushed the devs into pursuing a rewrite. We're talking everything from small inconsistencies to things completely impossible to reconcicle with the material that preceded it.

A few other things to keep in mind, too: we didn't see all of Dunwall in the first game, there's a 15-year gap between the first and second games and it's likely that, while we will be seeing Dunwall in the second game, we won't be seeing too much of it on account of the bulk of the game taking place in Karnaca. That all makes for a good amount of blank space for these books and comics to fill in. If it turns out the comics and novels suck, well, I doubt D2 is gonna reference them much if at all either way.
