I've finishd the ' Corroded Man' (a novel) yesterday night. Well, it's definitely not the worst game-fiction I've seen. Extremely detailed and accurate when it comes to the in-game lore. Either the author had played both of the games to death or had consulted with the devs during his work. Location maps and descriptions, items descriptions, Dis1 events, quotes from the in-game books, etc. We've got tons of references, cameos and characters. At first I was not so sure about that, it seemed like a huuuge fan-service to me, but now I'm not so sure. Yeah - the book revisits and retells quite al lot of things, but I think it worked. Some old characters had been developed further in unexpected ways, some things can be percieved from the different point of view (e.g. Corvo vs Emily). I'm glad that they wrote Corvo pretty much exactly how I imagined him to be, although I realize that 'high chaos' players may be disappointed. I loved the new 'lead' character, it's a good 'Dishonored'-style story. The book could have made a great DLC, actually. Still unsure about the name choice, though...could be more...neutral. It's Zhukov. And people of Tyvia raference each other as comrad...er..I mean 'Friend' 8P..
Well, ok, I get it. We've got Sokolov already, and Tyvia had always been slightly 'Russian', but...Zhukov? Really? Could be worse, of course. Could be Stalin or Lenin. 8P But it was hard for me to take him seriously at first. I Was hoping to see more of the mysterious Emily's 'gender-neutral' love (Wyman), but that was probably one of the weakest and useless characters during the novel. We don't see...him (uh, ok, I know,may-be-not-him, but I have to use some kind of pronoun, right? So let it be 'him' for me) much, and we barely see any real interactions\relations. It's a nice and interesting cross-media experiment - to write a 100% 'genderless' character for the videogame AND for the novels. World knows Jaden Korr and Revan, but either of the two had been defined for the 'off-screen' actions. Wyman remained...Wyman. I understand that their main idea was to keep him as 'vague' as possible. And it must be the real PITA to write any kind of love story without an option to use the pronoun for one of the partners, not even once. But if you ask me, I'd rather see something more. As is - I have a feeling that it's not much of the relations (and that he's kinda... an idiot). Which does not really fit the way he's introduced during the 2nd game, and some parts of the novel also suggest that there's more to it. From what I know it's only the first book, would be interesting to follow the trilogy. Would recommend it for all the Dishonored fans who had not read it yet. |

The thing is. The gender is NEVER mentioned. Neither in game nor in the novel. That makes some scenes look a little bit awkward (because people normally use pronouns when describing someone\someone's actions), but somehow they could avoid that. As I've said - I find the very idea interesting, but only in theory. Eventually it's going to hurt character and the writing per se. For better or worse - it's technically impossible to translate that little something, because many languages don't have 'gender-neutral' verbs and ajectives. E.g. in Russian 'Wyman came in' should either become 'Wyman voshOL' for the male or 'Wyman voshLA' for the female. No way around it (unless we call him 'it' or 'they', but even then it would be 'voshLO' or 'voshLI'). And Russian is just one of the languages I can think of. Wonder what are they going to do about it (if anything at all). From where I stand, a good share of the world is going to have Wyman identified one way or another.  Would translations count as 'canon' I wonder?. |

I think Wyman is a guy too though from the sound of the letters, it sounds a bit wishy washy for a guy. There's nothing specific, it's just the impression I get. But then, it's probably my own view in how a lover should respond / write a letter when the other half has been threatened that's giving me those vibes. |

Apart for the name which sounds pretty definitely masculine to me, I felt it was done okay in the game. I never even noticed they were avoiding gendered pronouns. |

That's because they had not been too loud on that matter. Probably had been too busy talking about the gameplay and design. Can you imagine BW not marketing an obviously 'inclusive' feature?  |

Well if anyone is trying to solve the Jindosh lock riddle I came across a really good tip/cheat. The first lady mentioned in your riddle seems to always be the one that scoffs at the other ladies item. Also, order doesn't matter when putting in the code. |

Is it static or had they randomized it too, I wonder? I was going to give it a try on this playthrough. I know that all the safe\lock codes are generated 'on-fly', and so is the 'Grand Palace' (3 or 4 locations + 2 possible targets). |

I've played Dishonored II twice and I can say the solution for that riddle is the same. However, the locations for the grand palace is random. A least two of the safe codes in the game remained the same. |

Harvey Smith said before launch that they would not define Emily's sexuality one way or the other, but since Wyman sounded like a man's name to me I just assumed that they'd changed their mind about it and given Emily a boyfriend. |

I'm in the middle of my second PT now (Corvo\low chaos). I still think that the whole story is tailored for Emily, but oh my...Corvo's memories about his life in Karnaca, about Jessamine and Emily are almost heartbreaking. I think that Arkane did a great job with changing the overall tone and 'flavour' of the game depending on the PC choice. Technically it's all 100% the same story, and yet - it is not.
Corvo is arguably one of my all-time-favourite 'preset' male PCs. I'm glad to see that what they had written for the second game largely fits my former impressions of him. They had even tried to respect the 'Dis1 good high chaos ending' option, although it's not as seamless as the 'low chaos' one.
The only bad thing about Dishonored 2 - they had set gameplay and game-design bar pretty high. I'm goign to have a hard time playing all those 'openworlds' and 'corridors' from now on. I mean do we know many games with an option like tricking gangsters to rush into the guarded room and let the guards take care of them (and if some guards are also taken care of - that's a bonus too)? Or how about the final Boss Fight, which can literally be skipped, either lethally or non-lethally?..

So third PT. I'm resolute that I will not be spotted by enemies. Addermire level, just moving into the city. Pulled a guard into the docs' office. KO-ed. So far so good, his pals did not see me. Then something happened that has never happened before. One of them went looking and opened the trash bin full of bloodflies. I heard "Ahhhhhhh! Bloodflies!! Get them off me!! Arrrrghhhhh!" I rushed over to the rail and saw two of them wriggling and dying to the stings.  Best of all, their deaths were not attributed to me. |

I finished my "undeteced" and "no kills" playthrough, btw.. One solution to those earlier kills I couldn't track appears to have been this: if you drop an unconscious person and they hit something that breaks, it will kill them, even if they couldn't plausibly have hit with enough force. Apart from that, some people can apparently see bodies through walls or ceilings. No matter why I try, something will almost always be detected. |

When they ended up dead that way, I always reload and try from a different angle. This is when the effect is immediate. As far as I can tell, I didn't throw anybody on anything sharp or breakable or stacked them up. I always lined them up nicely on the floor / bin / couch.  I hope there are DLCs, I want moore!  |

Would be amusing if they brought back Daud again for story DLCs. He's dead, why bring him back? Nah, it should be Meagan. Emily changed the timeline so Billy's got two arms. She went back to her old mates but I've no doubt she would make changes. |

She went back to her old mates but I've no doubt she would make changes. Well, in my PTs he's not. And if Meagan's final slide is any indication -it's a canon. By the way - I always kill Billie. No matter how low-chaos my Daud is, this tracherous *** has to die. She betrayed Daud, her own people had suffered because of her stupidity. Somehow, I can't accept Meagan being her. I love Meagan's writing, but she does not connect with KoD Billie Lurk to me. The only argument against Billie's DLC, however, is her arm\eye. She may or may NOT get them back depending on the choices made in the past. Which would make combat problematic. Also, remember that PC normally has the Mark. Without the Mark she'd need someone to 'leech' powers from, and it should be someone who had been marked. Both Corvo and Emily can be 'steel&flesh', so they can't 'host' her (but they can possibly be the imported DLC PCs). That leaves...Daud, actually. Would be interesting to see if they had anything in store for him. |

So they could use him again. |

They did the surprising thing by showing players the opposite side of the story. They could do the same again. |

Would translations count as 'canon' I wonder?. 
Its never too late. LOL. 
Best of all, their deaths were not attributed to me.
