Dishonored:
- The title Dishonored takes a whole new meaning if you are familiar with the Honor Culture of the 1700s and 1800s. Honor was not being ethically virtuous, so much as being worthy; a man could be extremely amoral and completely honorable at the same time. (Duels were not honorable because you were attacking an offender, but because you were exposing yourself to danger to prove your integrity. Refusing to shoot at your opponent would be a terrible insult to them.) Even in a pacifist playthrough, Corvo deploys stealth, uses magic and technology his enemies lack, and disgraces his marks while they are helpless/unaware. Although Corvo's methods resemble a southern European vendetta in style and execution, by the standards of English honor code he is truly Dishonored.
- This is even more brilliant if you follow the in-game lore. Corvo is from Serkonos (based on southern Europe) while Dunwall is part of Gristol (based on England). Historically,there was often friction between northern Europeans and southern Europeans because their definition of "honor" differed. In the north, it meant upholding your integrity and worth in a composed, dignified, and public manner. In the south, it meant respecting your family by avenging every insult to them through any means necessary.
