Slate Vesper wrote: The events in Dishonored take place in a fictional universe, in the past. that's the thing: it IS a fictional universe, and it's NOT the past: the only time past tense is appropriate is when you are describing the in-universe past. All of corvo's story IS happening. Granny Rags story HAS happened. She WAS Vera Moray and DID descend into madness. Corvo IS hunting overseer campbell and looking for emily.

As for assassin's creed, its appropriate THERE because the conceit of the screed games is that they DO take place in our world, and the inconsistencies between the two are the result of societal manipulation at the hands of a shadow government. Assassin's Creed is an ARG, Dishonored is pure fiction
