Talk:The Outsider/@comment-178.118.194.87-20120927161408

"It is unknown why The Outsider gave powers to the young boy, as he didn't seem to influence the world's fate before he died of the plague."

I thought that was obvious when I watched it. The young boy effectively created the plague. At 1:44 in the video his body changes to become the cross, used by the citizens of Dunwall to mark where the plague has struck. Am I the only one who thinks this?
