"I came across this at a very sad point in my life, it was on a hard drive on a vintage computer I bought off Amazon," Marshall explains on the expansion's GitHub page. "Literally this essentially saved my life, I was going through a divorce and just happen[ing] to come across something like this was insane."

I just want XCOM 3 and dishonored 3… is that really too much to ask for?

    You just need to convince Satya Nadella that it'll be profitable. Like, billions of dollars in ROI profitable.

    Technically, Deathloop is Dishonored 3. Death of the Outsider kind of killed the base gameplay premise that Dishonored 1 and 2 were built on, though, so I wouldn't expect a true Dishonored 3... ever, really.

    What's the dishonored game that came out after 2? I have the first one and saw two others on my wishlist just the other day.

    Death of the Outsider is the game after 2. It's technically a stand-alone expansion rather than a game, though; it's more like Dishonored 1's Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches expansions than it is a proper Dishonored 3, it just runs on its own executable rather than from a menu within Dishonored 2.

    Even if the gameplay loop is changed, I’d like a game set it Tyvia, Morley, and the Pandyssian continent each. I rather liked the setting
