An easter egg from Dishonored 2 about a famous line from Thief 1 The Dark Project.

Corvo is voice by Stephen Russell who played Garrett in the original THIEF (1998)

"It's a long way down"

The Director of the game Harvey Smith confirmed this easter egg. Here's the link www.twitch.tv/gamesradar/v/102694748 (Around 37:25)

    The fact that Dishonored is considered the “child” of Thief, and that Corvo was voiced by the same voice actor of Garret, this easter egg is so brilliant!

    Corvo: "I've never robbed a witch before. It'll be a challenge."
  • @TheSourpatch01
    Garrett also says it in the third game when he has to make his way down the Hammerite clock tower... that line always stuck with me for some reason. "It's a long way down, but you know what they say, down is always easier than up."

    No wonder it sound familiar! Also metal soldiers is another clear nod to thief, I was expecting to hear Karras lines from them 8)

    Nice find. God I loved Thief. Playing this in no powers mode kind of reminds me if Thief. If only we had rope arrows are something similar.
  • @BloodRedFox2008
    Given Dishonored is often seen as "Thief with superpowers" (hell you can even choose to play without the powers so it feels more like old Thief) this feels super appropriate. As of making this comment I only recently bought Dishonored 2, but hearing that voice is making me feel like what I should do is marathon the first three Thief games first and then replay Dishonored 1 as well, and I can just pretend Dishonored ended up being "Thief 4" instead of the 2014 reboot.
  • stephen russel’s also said “it’s a long way down” when he voiced nick valentine in fallout 4

    The whole Clockwork Mansion (as well as Jindosh himself having striking parallels with Karras) is also very reminiscent of Thief 2: The Metal Age in general
  • @spacedetective_
    Jindosh's level feels like such a proper callback to Kerras without feeling like nostalgia baiting. I love this game and I think it's way better than the first game.

    I wonder if 'It's a long way down' is going to be the 'kept you waiting, huh?' of this franchise
  • @fs0range
    wow I didn't know it was the same voice actor!
  • Arkane doing nothing to assuage fears that they're the inferior copy of Looking Glass and Blue Sky.

    in "a crack in the slab" mission I found a veteran in a room with a long table and 2 statues that looked like cambell from dishonored 1
  • @pale2457
    Bah, you missed 'it's a long way up!'
  • @orelyosif5852
    Damn, I haven't though it was the same actor before
