It seems the Dishonored devs wanted to make sure you were duly punished for being a sleaze, as indicated by this hilarious little detail found in the first game.
The first Dishonored game has already been out for a good eight years, but some of us are still uncovering subtle things we never noticed until now. Although to be fair, this particular one is only discoverable if you choose to be a creepy douche who isn’t good with boundaries, so maybe that’s the reason we can use to justify our ignorance.
At one point in the game, you’ll come across Corvo’s ally Piero Joplin - the inventor of Corvo’s iconic mask and supplier of a range of his weaponry - crouching suspiciously in front of a closed door. When you approach he reveals (after some stuttered excuse about working on a “Snowflake Lock”) that he was spying on Callista Curnow as she bathes herself behind the closed door. Ugh, ew, what kind of a pervert would do such a thing?
Well, a kind of pervert by the name of Corvo, apparently. After confronting Piero and choosing to A) reprimand him for being a creeper or B) claim not to care what he does in his creepy spare time, you can do the exact same thing as him. If you peek through the keyhole, you too can bear (more like bare) witness to Callista - Loyalist and caretaker to heiress Emily Kaldwin herself - bathing away merrily within.
You could always stop right there and go repent somewhere else, or you could swing the door open and fire up a conversation with her. If you do the latter, Callista recoils, attempts to cover her already-conveniently-covered extremities, and barks, “Can’t you see I’m about to bathe?!” Without informing her that she has clearly already begun the bathing process, Corvo is faced once again with another opportunity to go away and repent or become exponentially more creepy.
Either he can excuse himself for intruding, or ask her if she’d like some company. In response to the latter she actually doesn’t entirely shut him down, but just says that the current dismal state of affairs generally doesn’t have a very aphrodisiacal effect. The conversation ends there, but if you choose to really drive the perv sentiment home you can try jumping into the bath anyway.
At that point, you will get a special Game Over screen which reads: “The Loyalist Conspiracy is dissolved due to irreconcilable hostilities.” Yes, fair enough.
Arkane Studio’s steampunky action-adventure game still has to be one of the most enjoyable games out there. Besides having outstanding attention to detail, the game has the ability to bestow upon you genuine satisfaction from feeling like an unbelievably badass assassin (badassassin?). Corvo’s slick moves and otherworldly powers are a rush to master, but we do think he still has a bit of work to do when it comes to courting the ladies.
