Dishonored - Tales From Dunwall, The Awakening

The first of a series of 3 webisodes serving as a prequel to Dishonered has been made available by Bethesda.

Presenting 'The Awakening'- the first in a three-part Dishonored webisode series entitled 'The Tales from Dunwall'. These engrossing prequels, scored by Daniel Licht (Dexter) and narrated by Chloe Grace Mortez (Kick Ass), gives you a first-hand glimpse into Dishonored's shadowy whaling world of Dunwall, where plague is rampant and the city is in disarray and on the verge of dystopia.

Created by Psyop, each episode was predominantly produced by hand. Each frame was a fully rendered style frame, which was then enhanced with 3D elements to add to the painterly atmosphere, dimension and depth of each shot.

I've gotten a bit more familiar with Dishonored, and I must say I'm impressed with the visual style and the way Dunwall looks. It looks amazing. Steampunk done right imo. I have to choose between this and XCOM. And I think I'm leaning towards this.
