History YMMV / DishonoredDeathOfTheOutsider

* ScrappyMechanic: "Original Game+" Mode, which lets you play with Corvo and Emily's powers from ''Dishonored 2'', and ''only'' Corvo and Emily's powers. Displace, Foresight and Semblance are completely unusable in this mode, meaning that some achievements and actions (such as winning the auction and impersonating an Overseer) are impossible.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the Bank Job, you find several safe deposit boxes in the vault. One of them contains, among other things, a document called [[https://i.imgur.com/3SQcGSN.jpg Heart of the Abyss]], which is clearly intended to be a homoerotic fanfiction featuring the Outsider and Corvo. It's found in [[spoiler: Kirin Jindosh]]'s vault, which raises several questions as to why [[spoiler: the former Grand Inventor of Serkonos]] owned it!

* Tearjerker: The end of the game [[spoiler: if you spare the Outsider. His form is released from the altar he was sacrificed on, and the blackness retreats from his eyes. For the first time, you hear his voice, undistorted by the Void, and he sounds so tired, too tired to even be thankful. His eyes have seen generations of good and bad, and Robin Lord Taylor's performance conveys so many emotions in just a few words.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The new models of clockwork soldiers only appear in one level of the game, and even then, only two of them are active. There are an additional two that can be activated [[spoiler: and controlled, if you opened Jindosh's safe in the vault and took his code.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Removing the Chaos System was in theory at least a good idea since some gamers had complained about VideoGameCrueltyPunishment. But others, especially those who play in a middle-chaos level (i.e. kill some but not enough to tip into high chaos) feel that removing it cheapens the message of the entire series (namely that our choices, and all of them, whether big or small count) and that where earlier games took your overall gameplay into account when deciding the ending, here the ending goes from [[spoiler:pessimistic to optimistic based on your decision to spare or kill the Outsider, which some argue is really giving the "black-eyed bastard" too much credit considering that he's genuinely negligent and culpable for some of the bad stuff that happened]].

* ThatOneAchievement: "The Perfect Crime" requires you to ''empty the vault without tampering any security systems, as well as leaving everyone unharmed and asleep''. Consider it is a bank robbery, the security will be extremely tight. There are five safes in the vault. Each of them (except for the main one) requires a different combination code to access. Good luck finding these code by leaving almost everything and everyone intact.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: The game has 5 Levels, of which one is without powers (the opening level), and another is repurposed from the main game ("Royal Conservatory"). This is especially bad since this is a standalone expansion as opposed to DLC, and yet ''Death of the Outsider'' is shorter than the 2-Part Daud DLC (which had six levels) of the first game, of which it is a SpiritualSuccessor. That being said, most fans will say, because the levels themselves are quite a bit bigger, more dense, and packed with ''alot'' more side content in the form of the contract system, this makes up for it.

* CounterpartComparison: As an overgrown thin little boy, the Outsider with his time-based powers and aloof detachment, is not unlike Bran Stark in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' Season 7. Likewise, many reviewers compared Billie Lurk's Facestealer ability to Arya Stark who has the powers of the Faceless Men in the same series.

* CatharsisFactor: After two whole games about being guilt tripped by the Chaos system over their actions, many players have reported ''relief'' they can finally unleash a character's supernatural abilities.

* BestLevelEver: While the expansions quality remains top notch through and through, already special praise has been given to "The Bank Job" for the sheer amount of options it gives to the player in infiltrating the vault, and how well-designed the level is in general.

* EvenBetterSequel: Many fans who found ''2'' lacking for its unoriginal premise, found ''Death of the Outsider'' to be a fantastic return to form, helped by it's impressive sandbox level design, the completely unique playstyle Billie, and all the lore aspects that were obscure in the last two games, brought to the front and center.

* {{Sequelitis}}: On top of the fact that you don't get your powers until the second level, the level design feels far more cramped and linear than in the previous installments of the series, making one wonder how much effort was put into it.

* SlowPacedBeginning: [[spoiler:You get your powers after the opening level freeing Daud from The Eyeless Gang. This mirrors the VanillaGame, but feels worse because the DLC is far shorter, and as such a huge chunk of the entire expansion is passed without powers. ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'s'' Daud-DLC opened with powers from the get-go by comparison.]]

* BrokenBase: People are divided as to whether or not a game designed around killing the guy who gives you a bunch of awesome, fun powers is a good thing.
