Re: worldbuilding

Dishonored has fantastic worldbuilding. So much detail went into the setting, the culture, the clothing, the social mores, even the calendar. I especially love the religion, or lack thereof - there's an order dedicated to discouraging the devil/trickster analogue, but there's no god-figure on the other end of the spectrum.

God yes. I love Dishonored’s universe. You can see all the historical and fictional influences in it, you can see the 19th century New England whaling industry, you can see the British Empire just as it reaches the tipping point of overreach, you can see the feast of Saturnalia, you can see the Masque of the Red Death, the hints of Soviet-era Russia in the religion and aesthetic, and it all filters together into this grimy coherent picture of a 1900s-feeling decaying oceanic empire, an industrial electrical revolution built on the blood and oil of lovecraftian whales, with a background of witchcraft, puritanism and a satanic whale god, and a society on the brink of overindulgent collapse while its own sins literally ravage it, all sitting in the cosmology of an oceanic void full of nothing but oddly gentle chaos.

It’s a universe with oomph, is what it is. I love it.

I want to take your reply home and whisper sweet nothings into its ear.

This sounds really cool. I may have to read up on this world, even though I don't play games. There are several video game series where they were interesting enough to me that I read all about their world and stories and even bought some books.

Who wrote this please?

If you mean Dishonored, it's a video game series from Arkane/Bethesda. You can watch a trailer here:

(Though I should note the play style in this trailer is kind of aiming for the 'bad' ending, the game's 'chaos' or karma meter affects the world state, so stuff can be a bit less grim if you're more stealth and less slaughter)

Ah that's unfortunate, I don't do games. Thanks though! It sounds cool

Re: worldbuilding

It's very cool. There's some Let's Plays that are pretty good if you're into those, and there are a few novels that came out of the universe, though I'm not sure how much sense they make if you don't want to spoil yourself on the plot of the games. But if it's not for you, it's not for you!

Yes! The world of Dishonored is so fascinating to me, especially the Order/Abbey and the Outsider. I'm less interested in the actual plot and characters of the games, but it's just being in that world that keeps me playing.
