As i see it, the outsider is very interested in people with emotional issues and complicated live situations. Like Granny Rags with her lover/husband and their travels to pandyssian or the young boy (tales from dunwall) who was mistreated by the people living on the streets. he wants to give these people a chance to change their fate and enjoys to watch how they to it.

That's prbably the reason why he is bored by sokolov although he tries so hart to get the outsider's attention. Sokolov is a genius, but that's it. He is emotionaly absolute boring and he would use his abbilities only for his experiments. Piero has at least his visions of the void because besides being a genius, he is very human and fragile (love interesst in Calissa). And i also think it is the reason why the outsider lost interesst in Daud for a while. Probably there was a time when Daud was in a interessting position with his emotions. That's why the oitsider gifted him. But after using his gift just for being an assassin "doing his job" he became boring. And after he killed the empress, feeling the regret, feeling guilty and bad, he became interesting again to the outsider.

And probably corvo always was kind of interesting. The man supposed to guard the empress and also loved her.... But it wasn't enough. But after her death and he being accused of killing her - and for sure feeling pain and hatred because of this betrayel - he was fascinating enough to grant him his abilities. Why he did it after his escape from prison is another question. Maybe the outsider was enjoying the changes and chaos under Hiram Borrows and didn't want Corvo to change it too soon. Who knows....?
