That was good, yeah, but what sucked was that you were this mute retard who walked straight into it without any suspicions or... Anything.
im not supporting mute characters or anything, but i think the explanation for Corvos case is obvious....
1. he is a bodyguard...nothing more, nothing less, people have even called him a dog and such, in-game, his one goal in life was to simply serve the empress as her.....well, guard dog.......
2. the game was all about revenge, (its tagline was "revenge solves everything") imagine your corvo, the one thing you care for in life, the empress and her daughter, has just been taken from you. corvo is so blinded by revenge that he isnt thinking straight, and he is willing to serve anyone and do anything to get his revenge, even if it means blindly doing some guys bidding without question
with that said, id like to say that high chaos is the only way to go. a game advertised as being a "uber deadly assassin on a bloody revenge", it really doesnt make sense to go the "happy-go-lucky" low chaos route (AKA bitch route).....
