So, it looks like Dunwall is still the same ol' politically charged murder-fest that it was in the first game. But it looks like those murders are going to happen with some spiffy new abilities--like the foggy/shadowy go-go gadget arms that seem to allow you to grab a guard from far away or the time warping ability that lets you pause and shoot. I had read that Emily wouldn't have exactly the same abilities as Corvo (seeing as how Corvo had that extra special relationship with the Outsider--who, surprisingly, appears in this video) but her abilities appear to be at least inspired by his. For the most part it doesn't look like the gameplay will be changing drastically.
The people who appear in the video also leave some room for speculation. There are some strange masked people--(maybe more creepy city guards?), a woman who looks an awful lot like one of the Brigmore witches, and several shots of those weird, robotic sentinels that we initially saw in a trailer from E3 last year. These characters suggest an interesting stew of issues and people who could really spice up a second game. Oh, and the Outsider! He's apparently still poking his bizarre black eyes into the business of the denizens of Dunwall.
Now that E3 is over we can stop "oohing" and "aahing" over all the smokin' trailers for these upcoming games and put in some serious time on our backlogs. But all that stabbing....damn.
