What’s up everyone, in today’s episode, I’m going to focus on a game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2012 called Dishonored. It’s a pretty nice action-stealth game featuring political conspiracy, vengeance story and black magic in an environment inspired by the best steampunk fictions. Enjoy.

Here is the link to the transcript (including also the game’s webpage): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPyCE5HZuD9F2vw3fTOzvQYDs6j1dzr_3AH_gaiItac/edit
