Former Arkane designer says Dishonored 2 cost more to make than Skyrim, and while it didn't meet Bethesda's sales expectations, the series' reputation still 'saved the studio' (www.pcgamer.com)

It’s a game for people who like to play rogues. Frankly, I love it. Sniper cheese is available everywhere.

Dishonored 2 is in my top 5. The crafting of the Crack in the Slab chapter alone is masterful.

Even in DND, there’s an evil requirement to specialize in assassin, so it makes sense that things get darker on that path. Regular rogue, you can still be good. There are very, very few games that allow for pure stealth runs, Dishonored happens to be one of them.

You convinced me to download the game. Been craving a game exactly like that for a while. Should the first one be played before going into 2?

I think so. Like fallout 3 vs new Vegas the second has more polish, always.

You’re Corvo in the first one. You see your love and Empress killed in front of you, your daughter kidnapped, and you blamed. You escape. Now, you need to find your daughter. It leads into playing as Emily in game 2. Witches backstory as well.

Lol well now I don't have to play D1! Kidding, I'm having a blast with two and have found myself drawn into the story (plenty of games I don't care so much) so I'd love to go back and play D1 and then him in D2 since I ended up going with Emily
