2020 proved nothing; COVID-19 is not remotely comparable to the rat plague for several different reasons.

* Corvo's abilities can be attributed to his motives in Dishonored 1. He's a grieving man who is motivated by vengeance, so it seems logical for him to specialize in dispatching his enemies swiftly and brutally with multiple ways to deliver the deadly blow.
* Daud, on the other hand, is a dispassionate assassin who does what he does because it's the only way he knows how to live. His status as a leader and his need to feel poweful might manifest through his telekinetic powers and ability to summon his assassins. He lacks Corvo's passion, and as a result he has no directly lethal supernatural abilities.
* Emily was born an heir to the throne and was Empress for most of her life. Her kit is focused on crowd control through Domino and Mesmerise, and like Daud she can physically manipulate objects and people through Far Reach.
* Billie has a natural affinity with gathering information about her environment before entering the scenes, and is the most meticulous planner among the protagonists. The abilities the Outsider gave her are focused on enhancing her ability to gather information through Foresight and percisely plan her movements through displacement.

** We see the effects of Bend Time in ''Videogame/Dishonored2'' in the intro from Emily's perspective. Time doesn't stop, Corvo just blinks around the room killing people. Most people just do not perceive the action happening, and only those empowered by the Outsider can detect it.

* He likely just bribed the guards. He probably knows a lot of secret passages and routes into and out of the area, and has guards on his payroll, and is aware of the Pendletons' habits. With that information and access, he could easily set up an ambush or sneak a few goons in to grab them while they're asleep.

[[folder:Kidnapping the Pendletons]]
How did Slackjaw manage to kidnap the Pendletons? Even if he isn't low on men (i.e. you didn't poison the still), he'd still have to get past a bunch of personal guards and members of the City Watch. Pretty impressive for a gang leader.

*** In the sequel it's proven that all of them, Daud's and Delilah's followers eventually lost their powers. Which could mean that Billie was probably banking on Delilah to supply her the Void magic as soon as Daud was killed.




to:

** According to WordOfGod, the Lady Boyles are actually [[https://dishonored.fandom.com/wiki/Dishonored_Wiki?file=Boyle+widow+1.jpg daughters]] of the late Lord Boyle which would make much more sense (though how it got past the editors is a mystery). It's still possible that one of them did marry a Boyle cousin who then died. We know that Ichabod from the sequel is their nephew from an unknown family member.

* As seen during the fight between Corvo and Daud, time stop doesn't work on people who possess the power too (or maybe it doesn't work on other Marked, I'm not sure there but there's a couple of character beside Daud who can't be time-stopped). Anyway, what happens to these people when someone uses the power? Does it have a limited range or does everyone protected from the power have to deal with the fact that someone on the other side of the city uses the power and they just have to wait it out so that they can go on with whatever they were doing? I mean, considerig how often some players use the power, just getting through a simple conversation with a non-protected person can turn to be a pretty annoying experience. Or if Corvo uses the power while infiltrating Daud's HQ, shouldn't be Daud prepared for him, knowing he has just witnessed time stop so many times it's getting suspicious?

Added DiffLines:

** How would Daud notice that time has stopped, unless he's looking right at one of his frozen Whalers? Everything that a Marked person touches while time is stopped speeds up with them (note the choking animation on time-stopped guards, who immediately start struggling once you grab them), so a time-stop wouldn't prevent Daud from interacting with any objects. The only thing that could give it away would be the color going out of a world, but that's probably just a way of showing the player when time is stopped, not an in-universe effect.
