But then why the tone? If you compare the way the Outsider speaks to both Corvo and Daud, even with high chaos Corvo, the Outsider doesn't sound as contemptuous as when he's talking to Daud.

My guess is Daud lost the Outsider's interest because he became predictable--he would get a job, kill the target, and repeat the cycle on and on ad nauseam. I think the only reason he finds the Empress' death interesting is because of who she is, and the potential that Daud's just snuffed out. I also have my suspicions that the Outsider isn't actually "helping" Daud so much as compelling him toward accomplishing a task, i.e. eliminating Delilah.

But again, if people feel the language is too opinionated, it can be removed.
