* CallBack: one of the contracts has you steal a painting by Duke Luca Abele - namely, [[http://i.imgur.com/Hs0qsxQ.jpg this]] [[StylisticSuck one]], first seen in ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored 2}}''. A note with it refuses to believe that it's really by the Duke, because other paintings by him - [[spoiler:really his body double]] - are much better.

** One locker in the game contains an empty whiskey bottle and two cigars, a reference to the infamous "Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?"/"Aye, I believe so." dialogue from the first game.

The Void arm is actually the right arm while the gauntlet/Voltaic gun is on the left.


* {{Cyborg}}: Billie Lurk looks like one but her appendages are Void-based and occult, and not mechanical. Her arm has formed from the Void that doubles as a gauntlet that can shoot projectiles. The red eye is in fact an artifact called "Sliver of the Eye/Eye of the Dead God" that belonged to the deity before the Outsider and it gives Billie the special ability of foresight.

* KillEmAll: The fourth mission has a contract that tasks you with killing almost every Overseer and Oracular Sister in the level, except for Brother Cardoza, with the contract instructing you to leave them in one of the Abbey's "Musical Chairs". Considering [[ILoveTheDead the way Cardoza treats the corpses of Ashworth's former witches]], it's no surprise why people want him to suffer the most.
* LaserHallway: A variation is found in the fourth mission, where an entire apartment is boobytrapped, floor to ceiling, with grenades and tripwires. Setting off one of these will set off several more tripwires. Curiously, this same apartment was owned by a nest keeper in ''Dishonored 2''.



* ShoutOut: One of the bank safeboxes is owned by Morgan Yu, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/Prey2017'', which Arkane also developed.

* BrokenAesop: The game dispenses with the chaos system on account of the fact that Billie is not marked by the Outsider and according to the Lore, it is the Outsider who runs and governs the chaos system. In other words, the aesop of the earlier games, that it is the player choices that govern and impact the world and society, and that actions have direct consequences, and that our PlayerCharacter are defined by their choices and their ability to change, as well as t the Outsider allowing free will is utterly contradicted. At the end of the game, Billie Lurk tells [[spoiler:Daud's ghost that the Outsider gave them the ability to choose, and they are responsible for their actions, but without the chaos system of direct level feedback of your actions]], that becomes an InformedAttribute.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The developers state that in both plot and gameplay this is the game that breaks the mould for the franchise changing everything that came before:
** There is no chaos system, i.e. if you kill more or spare more NPC, it won't affect the levels or make it harder than before.
** Billie Lurk doesn't need Mana to charge up her powers, and instead the energy to use the power is on a rechargeable timer, effectively allowing for unlimited ammo.
** On a plot level, the Outsider notes that Billie is the first to wield the powers of the Void without gaining his mark, and likewise unlike the other magic users, the Outsider converses with Billie, conducting actual dialogue when before he would speak to his initiates at the altar and only allow them to speak back when he let them.
