Daud took one thing more or less out of context and goes, oh my god, that little brat [the Outsider] really likes to see us struggle

which is kinda what a lot of people thought of the outsider before dh2 came out actually

they thought he was an eldritch god who wanted to be entertained by the struggles of mere mortals who Cannot Understand the True Form

some people didn't like dh2 outsider because he was a lot less 'mysterious' and ‘scary’

I think it was Harvey Smith who said something along the lines that the Outsider marks people because he's bored, yes, but also because an itty-bitty part of him hopes they'll change something in the end

he's just highkey tired because he's seen some Shit in 4000 years, so he's losing that hope

I think there is an element of entertainment/curiosity about what the weak and powerless will do when given magic

yeah - when low chaos corvo outsider is surprised that corvo does good, w high chaos hes meh

which is kinda weird compared to the high chaos daud dlc line but also outsider hates daud xx

I think Arkane said that the Outsider had "human emotion but inhuman perception" and you can extrapolate A Lot from that

Like he wants entertainment (of fucking course) but he's not inherently cruel with it, however since his perception of time is so skewed it comes out as such

he's a lot nicer than a kid who's been given godlike powers could have been

he could have been joffrey baratheon times one hundred

he never lost sight of where he started: a terrified boy murdered by unscrupulous adults

and I'm glad Billie saw that in the non-lethal ending of DoTO

the outsider could have been absolutely ape shit but much respect for you know have a v small amount of control

Also I’ve ranted about this to pip but the Billie and outsider similarities in doto are top notch

Both kids on the street, both forced into situations that they had no say in that changed their lives forever

Billie spared the outsider bc she realized he’s just like him, a scared kid on the street who had all his choices taken from him and who, like her, deserves a second chance

yeah!! and also like, in the dlcs, daud gave billie a second chance so she sees it like she needs to give this kid a second chance too bc she was given one yes
