Inspectable Objects

Inspectable objects are objects in Dishonored 2 that either Corvo Attano or Emily Kaldwin will comment on when interacting with them. The nature of the comment is often based on the chaos level.

A Long Day in Dunwall

Globe (Inside the room the protagonist is locked up in)

• Corvo: "Maybe I should just spin it. Pick a place to lick my wounds. I've got to regroup."

Grandfather clock (Inside the room the protagonist is locked up in)

• Corvo: "I helped Emily get a frog unstuck from this old clock when she was eleven. I swear I'll find a way to fix this."

The Hound Pits Pub painting (Inside the room the protagonist is locked up in)

The Good Doctor

Stamp (Hypatia's Office)

Beaker (In Recuperation)

• Corvo Very High Chaos: "Imagine this falling from the Duke's hands, after decades down in a mine."
• Emily Low Chaos: "I'll make sure mining conditions here improve. We need the silver, but not at any cost."

Display case (Inside the room with the balcony)

• Corvo Low Chaos: "The wildlife is so rich here in Karnaca."
