Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Emily reflects on ambition as a force that can lift someone or carry them into danger. The final sentence makes those outcomes disturbingly difficult to distinguish. The words accompany the 2015 announcement presentation for Dishonored 2, released in 2016; this entry does not claim they are spoken in the first game or authenticate finished-game playback.
