A New Setting
In Dishonored 2, players will return to the Empire of the Isles, but this time they’ll experience most of the game in a new setting. While Dishonored 2 begins and ends in Dunwall – the bleak industrial city of the first game – most of the action takes place in Karnaca, often referred to as the Jewel of the South. The capital of Serkonos – which is the southernmost island in the Empire – Karnaca is a dazzling Mediterranean-inspired metropolis with distinctly different culture and style.
“Our approach to world creation is layered,” Smith said. “Our art and design teams work together to create a strong sense of place, with a well-realized culture based on the factions living there, the architecture, the economy, climate, plant and animal life, and even the food and songs.”
Karnaca is brought to life with the Void Engine: a custom game engine built to support Arkane’s signature art direction and level design, and create atmospheric and exploration-rich spaces.

If anyone has an even remote interest in Dishonored they should watch this.
Apologies if it was posted here, I saw it somewhere last week but think it was Reddit. I honestly thought this was Dishonored 2 at first. The guy is insane - ducking under sword swings, throwing heads at guards, pushing guards into traps, knocking guards off of cliffs, then jumping onto the falling body and using it to teleport elsewhere...
I loved this game, but was nowhere near this devlish. I also played on the Xbox, and this is clearly m+k. I hope.

I never played much of the 1st one. There is a part where you have to break into a prison, and you have the option of torturing a guy in a really awesome scene. But I never would have come across it if I didn't do some googling. Granted I may be older but it would have been nice to get some sorta hint about being able to do that, and question is did I miss out on some other really awesome scene?
