Dishonored 2 Trailer Looks Fantastic

I've been keeping my eyes on the news from E3 and hoping for news on some of my favorite games and series.  Besides the big Mass Effect reveal another trailer caught my eye--that for Dishonored 2.  Watch it and be impressed:



After watching this I also tried to find some more information about the game.  In the next game it appears that players will have the option to play as Corvo, the assassin hero from the original game, or Emily Kaldwin, the daughter of the murdered empress.  The fact that you can play as Emily makes me wonder about the story--why is Emily running around with Corvo?  Isn't she supposed to be ruling the empire?

Even though I have struggled to replay Dishonored it is still an excellent game.  One aspect of E3 that I am particularly excited about is the increase in the number of female characters.  It really feels like developers are making more of an effort to give players more options.  In Dishonored 2 each playable character will have a unique set of abilities so choosing who you play might not be simply an issue of gender.  The trailer shows off one of Emily's abilities known as "dark tentacle."  This skill seems akin to Corvo's blinking ability from the first game.

Watching this trailer makes me want to lurk in the shadows and play some Dishonored.
