Talk:Dishonored: The Return of Daud/@comment-16533050-20170513174703

I have to say, I am rather disappointed with the premise of this book.

Why nowadays, is it always the ultimate destruction of gods, the 'forever changing the game world or landscape' as we know it or the some other final end of everything/end of days plot?

I mean, seriously? The most popular character needs to kill off the Outsider? Ya couldn't have come up with anything else?

No other character in the entire Dishonored universe is interesting to write about? Where are the struggles of the less common individual set against the broader tapestry of the game world? Where are the new characters/heroes to root for? On the opposite side of the spectrum, a well designed gang or minor noble can be, in the right author's hands, just as big of a threat or grandiose of a plot as needing to eliminate the Outsider.

The Tales From Dunwall series of shorts proved this was viable, both in storytelling and as broadening the Dishonored Universe bit by bit.

Also, as a franchise, especially if one wants to continue with the series, why would you pen a tale about the ultimate battle? I mean, where do you go from there? Everything else seems rather small and kinda pathetic by comparison.

Finally, while I like Adam Christopher, as a novelist for the Dishonored series he isn't very interesting. The Corroded Man, if I'm being totally honest, was boring and hard to get through. And that had Emily and Corvo in it.

I've given serious considration to passing on this new one. I probably won't, but it has crossed my mind. And that should say something.

Anyway, this is all just my own opinion(s). TL/DR
