Talk:Dishonored: The Peeress and the Price/@comment-39275023-20190429090803/@comment-1500935-20190429143818

Tbh I had the same apprehension after reading this comics, especially the single page of Emily covered with an ovation of "long live the Empress". It took me some time to understand the point it was making in the series, since for now it doesn't seem to connect to further episodes of the series. I think it should have been 1 or 2 issues longer to fully explore how fractured the Empire was, but also the disastrous consequences of that coup on Dunwall. I liked Archibald Wainwright as a character because he introduced the political scene definitely lacking in this series. I just wish we had more from him than his coercion by Price.

As for Corvo, I think Arkane wanted a portrayal that wasn't high chaos, but neither a flawless man of the people. After all, he started as a lowborn but skilled fighter, and was thrust into a world of intrigues that wasn't his place. He even seems paranoid since Dis 1, which is quite understandable.
