The player controls Corvo Atano, once a legendary bodyguard for the
Empress, who seeks vengeance against the Lord Regent who framed him for
the assassination of the Empress. The Empress died in Corvo's arms, and
thus he was held accountable. Corvo is not only a fine swordsman and
marksman, master-at-arms, and cunning infiltrator, but also possesses
great supernatural powers. The game is presented in open world
format. The player can roam The Isles as well as the distant Pandyssian
Continent, though the primary setting for the game is the Steampunk-esque city of Dunwall. The game is played in first-person, with an emphasis placed on stealth action and the utilization of gadgets as well as the environment to eliminate opposing forces. In the Game Informer
cover story, it was mentioned that every enemy in the game (even
bosses) can be neutralized non-lethally, if the player so chooses. Lead
designers Harvey Smith and Raf Colantonio have described the game world
as a "simulation"; if the player encounters thugs harassing an innocent
passerby, they can be fought off, but the thugs themselves exist within
the game world prior to the event, rather than simply spawning in at a
designated time or place. If the player encounters the thugs ahead of
time, they can be defeated and the mugging will never take place at all.
Corvo has access to swords, daggers, and guns, including powerful but
slow pistols and muskets. His supernatural powers include the ability
to freeze time for a certain period, possess any living creature, summon
plague animals such as rats, and teleport short distances.
Also, part of the game is an entity referred to as "The Outsider".
The ambiguous being is described as part angel and part devil, and it is
supposedly responsible for all magic in the world. Its motives and
nature are shrouded in mystery, but the protagonist, Corvo, made contact
with the being whilst imprisoned; the Outsider offered him the chance
to exact vengeance on the people who framed him by giving Corvo its
mark, gifting the disgraced bodyguard with magical powers. According to
lead designers Raf Colantonio and Harvey Smith, the Outsider walks among
the mortals of Dishonored's world.
