About Dishonored 2
Dishonored 2 takes place 15 years after the first game. The protagonist from the original title, Corvo Attano, will be returning as one of two playable characters. The other is Emily Kaldwin, the dethroned empress of Dunwall.
Emily has her own unique powers. For example, Domino connects several enemies together so that they will share the same fate while Doppelganger creates a clone of Emily to distract enemies. Far Reach is used to pull objects and enemies to her while Mesmerize puts targets in a sedation state. Last but not least, Shadow Walk allows her to turn to a stealthier form.
The first game is known for providing an open-ended approach to tackling missions. This concept has been further expanded in the sequel with two playable characters as well as new non-lethal attacks.
Needless to say, if you enjoyed Dishonored, you should end up enjoying Dishonored 2 as well.
