![]() Billie didn’t leave on the greatest of terms with the Kaldwins, but they still owe her after all she did for them, which makes their absence here all the more puzzling. I’m sure both Corvo and Emily would have wanted a say in this little outing, too, seeing as they’re two of the few people who’ve also been touched by the Outsider’s mark. With that considered, you’d have thought the least Emily could do is help Billie out a little by, say, cooling down the nation-wide hunt for her across Karnaca. While Billie did partake in the murder of Jessamine Kaldwin, a crime that’ll likely never be truly forgiven by the then Empress’ lover and daughter, she also played a crucial role in helping the family take back the throne in the events of Dishonored 2. Killing the Outsider without bringing in the help of Emily or Corvo reminds me of a scene in Ant-Man, in which Scott Lang questions why Hank Pym hasn’t yet called the Avengers for aid in the biggest heist of the century. ![]() If all of this is starting to make your head hurt, don’t worry, it hurts mine too, but it makes sense as Arkane’s clever way of incorporating Billy’s backstory into the events of Death of the Outsider. The Outsider’s “gift” to Billy is emblematic of her connection to the void, then, as he is aware of both realities and the void is the one place where her eye and arm both exist and do not exist at the same time. So, there are now two alternate realities: one where Billie has all her body parts intact, and one where she doesn’t. Go and see Meagan again, and you’ll notice she has her eye and arm back. It turns out that Aramis is stuck in a time loop between the past and the present and, if you rescue him out of it, the past retcons itself so that he never went missing in the first place. It’s revealed that Meagan herself went to look for him but got caught, and lost her eye and arm in the process. ![]() Back in Dishonored 2, Emily or Corvo is tasked with finding Aramis Stilton, an old friend of Billy’s (then in disguise as Meagan Foster) who went missing some time ago. ![]()
