How to pick between Emily and Corvo in Dishonored 2<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

How to pick between Emily and Corvo in Dishonored 2:-<\/strong> If you\u2019re about to play Dishonored 2, be warned. It\u2019s pretty good (except for some performance issues), but it throws you one terrible decision right off the bat. You have to choose from one of two different characters to play through the entire game with, Corvo or Emily. Horrifying, I know. If you\u2019re like me and you can hardly choose which damn burger to order from a truck stop cafe menu, then this will be one of the most difficult decisions of your life. No worries, we can help you commit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both characters are capable of ghosting the entire game or ruthlessly murdering everyone in their path\u2014it\u2019s not like Emily is The Stealth Character and Corvo is The Maniac. They\u2019re just two different talking toolboxes with a few inherently different ways they express aggressive or silent play. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Distance versus time<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The most apparent difference between Corvo and Emily are their first short traversal powers. Corvo\u2019s Blink teleports him a short distance in an instant, while Emily\u2019s Far Reach flings her there. Blink is impossible to spot between its origin and destination, but Far Reach is visible along its entire path, just a bit more difficult to spot than Emily\u2019s default standing state.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth considering how each movement ability upgrades over time. Far Reach basically becomes a gravity gun shadow whip that can not only fling Emily across an <\/span>environment, but pull objects and people towards her. If you\u2019re going high chaos, whipping a guard directly into your blade is pretty rad. Blink gets more precise with upgrades, allowing Corvo to stop time completely while aiming Blink, or take out guards instantly with Blink Assault.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Corvo if you want to take your time plotting quick, precise movements and don\u2019t mind the limited reach of Blink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Emily if you want to feel a bit more like a Heretical Spider-Man physics god with a higher chance of being spotted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managing others versus yourself<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is where things get a bit more technical. Do you prefer a hammer or a nail gun? Corvo\u2019s Bend Time ability is useful for taking out individual guards in creative ways\u2014the classic freeze time when a guard fires at you, possess <\/span>him, and move him in front of his own bullet is a good example\u2014while Emily\u2019s Domino is a streamlined method for attacking a ton of guards at once. She can link a handful of enemies with Domino and choke out one to choke out them all, or in a more chaotic turn, link several guards and then pull one through a wall of light to dissolve them all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corvo is focused on managing his position in relation to threats with smaller, more precise movement abilities, while Emily is about managing the threats\u2019 positions in relation to her\u2014she\u2019s an AoE character, essentially.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Corvo if you <\/span>want manage objects and smaller groups of enemies with precision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Emily if you want to manage several enemies at once with a higher chance for mayhem.<\/span><\/p>\n

How you like to clean up messes<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Screwing up and alerting more guards to your presence than you\u2019re capable of handling is going to happen. When shit hits the fan, how you use your abilities to escape a tricky situation is half the fun, and each character has unique ways of getting out scot free. Corvo\u2019s Possession ability lets him hop into an incidental rat or <\/span>bloodfly for a tiny getaway, and with the Corpse Possession upgrade, you can ditch your material form and hang out inside a dead body until the scene clears up. Windblast is good for knocking groups of enemies to the ground while you blink or skitter away, too. If you\u2019re a madman and need a handy vessel to dip out with, summon some rats with Devouring Swarm.c<\/span><\/p>\n

Emily\u2019s powerful guard-chaining abilities are easier to mess up with\u2014if you alert one guard that\u2019s Domino-ed, it\u2019ll alert everyone in that chain no matter where they are\u2014but they also make mistakes easier to fix. If multiple guards are chasing you, chain as many as you can together and cast Mesmerize. It\u2019ll completely enthrall nearby guards and whoever they\u2019re chained to, effectively freezing the room. Her <\/span>Doppleganger ability makes a great distraction too. Throw out a double and Far Reach the hell out of there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Corvo if you\u2019d rather hide in a corpse than clean your room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Emily if you prefer a shop vacuum to a dust pan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who do you want to get to know?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Remember, both characters are capable of stealthy and violent playthroughs, so don\u2019t sweat it too much if the differences in their abilities <\/span>hasn\u2019t spelled out a decision for you yet. Do I want swiss cheese or cheddar on my burger? Does it really matter?<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, use the characters as a guiding principle. Who do you want to get to know better? If you really like Corvo and aren\u2019t ready to part ways with him yet, Dishonored 2 features him in a speaking role, voiced by none other than Thief\u2019s Stephen Russell. And most of the game takes place in Serkonos, which is where Corvo is from. It\u2019s an unexpected homecoming party for him, and there\u2019s a lot to learn about this gruff assassin\u2019s history through his narration. It\u2019s also nice to see where he came from and how he dotes on his upbringing from time to time. Corvo used to drink and dance too, you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, it\u2019s fascinating to learn how Emily changed in her bumpy rule of Dunwall as Empress of the Isles. She doles out a ton of insight into who Corvo is at his most vulnerable, and hearing the details of their relationship unfurl through a new perspective is refreshing. He\u2019s not the Gruff Videogame Protagonist he came off as in the first game. Emily is also just an interesting character on her own, hardened through years of difficult rule of a musty, torn land, and forced to grow up faster than anyone ought to. She\u2019s equal parts stern and empathic, and shaping her as a vengeful or merciful assassin is a constantly engaging arc.<\/span><\/p>\n
