Damn, that was awesome. Really sets the mood for the game. Dark and nicely written (love the line: "But then he saw something - something that made him realize his entire life's work was a waste. And it brought a smile to his face.").

I know these are webisodes, but it would be really cool to have these short stories on the disk, similar to how developers such as Naughty Dog include making-of videos as unlockables.

People should realize that this means that Arkane are more than confident with the narrative and the fact that they are making such high quality animated shorts to solidify that is astounding. (well it was obvious the narrative will be good since the writers working on it are amazing)

I didn't quite understand the purpose of the video. It was appealing though but could someone explain what it was about?

So the short was made by psyops?

Backstory about Dunwall and how they used the whale oil as an energy source. So it's pretty darn huge.

It was just a little Dunwall history lesson...

But what the hell were those huge intestine looking things oozing that blue slime???!!!

edit; OK, nevermind Strife answered that one - Whale intestines and whale oil. Thanks!

Pretty much yeah. A friend of mine called them "Spiritual Essence Worms!".

Thanks for telling me, I was a little lost.
