Dishonored 2 (2016) | Gameplay Reveal E3 2016

Release date: November 11, 2016

longer reveal + gameplay here

unpopular Dishonored opinions that have been on my mind a lot recently:

I don’t want Emily to call Corvo “dad” or even just “father”, I want her to call him Corvo like she always did, bonus points if she still doesn’t know because it doesn’t matter

I don’t want any sort of romance for Emily, lesbian or otherwise. No romance in my Dishonored please, leave that to the fandom.

in an another post: “serkonanteatime replied to your post:unpopular Dishonored opinions that have been on my…eh, I actually agree with you on the romance, I just get really carried away thinking about an actual gay protagonist in a big game <.<‘

I would be totally down to Emily turning some dude down with something like, “sorry, I’m not interested in guys” or something, that would be amazing. And being unmarried at at her age, and as Empress… kind of a big deal, right? It would be amazing if she never got married because same-sex marriage isn’t legal or what have you; and she’d be following in her mother’s footsteps, keeping a mistress at the side… Bust just, like… they did such a great, great job portraying romance in the first game through Jess and Corvo and Lizzy and Daud fight me and I don’t want that to change.”

look i aint even gonna touch any other part of this mess except how lesbophobic and homophobic you are. NO. it would not be amazing if she didnt get married because same-sex marriage isnt legal. its literally the reality for many gay people on this planet, and sometimes its worse. it wouldnt be groundbreaking if she didnt have a romance. weve had those already. but is there even a single explicit lesbian heroine, just asking. like a heroine whod marry her gf. like that statement is just really fuckinh ludicrous in itself, you DONT get to be HAPPY about homophobia existing in a fictional universe. thats really fucking disgusting.

it seems to me that youre okay w emily being gay as long as it isnt Too Much in your face– as long as its just stated that emily doesnt like men, or something similar. and like, why couldnt a lesbian romance be greater, BETTER than the romances you think were great? lesbian romances arent inherently inferior or anything my guy, in fact, they can be just as awesome as het romances. shocking, i know

just wondering bc the moment a lesbian says anything abt how they would like a lesbian romance or something these assholes spring up from the ground like, actually! itll be better if emily has no romance– even if its a lesbian romance, heh(: like you explicitly mentioned the lesbian romance. so just wondering why you like.. felt the need to make this post and add your voice to the yuck lesbian romance in MY game but like i mean heh, im just against ROMANCE not LESBIANS xD. its so fucking transparent. why do yall hate lesbians so much and the headcanons lesbians make and add your voices to the huge crowd that dont want a romance just bc lesbians is bad. and like your opinion isnt even damn unpopular, no: lesbophobia is alive and well, goddamnit

headcanon:

she approves.

It's a funny thing, ambition. It can take one to sublime heights or harrowing depths. And sometimes they are one and the same.

How will you make your mark on this wretched world?

about this piece of shit post that keeps coming up on my dash, even from people who should know better:

Ubisoft had a female assassin years ago. they had a trailer with one years ago. they showed it at E3 even. they showed her in gameplay in her DLC for another game too.

her name is Aveline de Grandpré, and none of you self-righteous anti-black worthless “feminists” bought her game–one of the most fun games in the Assassin’s Creed franchise–even when they made an HD remake of it for platforms you own and sold it for a low price, and could no longer use the excuse that it was on a thing you didn’t have

now if you want to say that Ubisoft didn’t do enough to promote Aveline, I will not argue with that at all. if you want to say they sabotaged her by putting her on a portable that nobody had, I will support that all day long (even though I got said portable solely to support her game). Ubisoft is trash and deserved to get dragged for that garbage they said when Unity came out. they deserve to be criticized for how they handled Aveline’s marketing and AC3 Liberation’s release.

but stop fucking acting like this character doesn’t exist. be excited for this female character you’re getting in this new game but STOP THIS SHIT

if you cared about female characters, if you really cared about them instead of just using them as pawns to win pissing contests being smug about your shitty white man fave companies, you would not be erasing a black female character to praise one shitty white man run company over another, as if any of these companies give a solitary fuck about women more than making a dollar 

STOP ERASING THIS BLACK WOMAN.

stop being anti-black pieces of shit for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES, you trash ass white feminists

a black female character is a female character

care about a black female lead in a video game at a time other than when you need a fucking token for the “We Can Be Strong!” graphic in some insipid fucking gif set with female characters

Female character to games = WHITE female character, lets be real. They only care when it’s a not blond white woman they can fawn over

When I complain about the female assassins with Ubisoft and Bethesda I remind people that yes Ubisoft did have Aveline and Shao, both women of color assassin’s with their own game (Plus they now have Evie).  The problem is Ubisoft didnt market them well.  Aveline was pushed for a handheld that people didnt want initially so her sales were not great before they brought her to the main console, Shao didnt get her own individual game she had to share it with two other male assassins and Evie just now got her own trailer (but no playthrough with her yet).  Shao’s game didnt get a tv trailer, and Aveline while she did get a trailer they focused more marketing on AC3.  So this is the reason why Bethesda got brownie points with me, because they could have displayed Dishonor 2 with Corvo but they chose to show off Emily first.  In my opinion Ubisoft didnt treat Aveline, Shao and even Evie with the love they deserve

But guys stop erasing Aveline she was the first playable female and deserves respect, stop erasing Shao because has to share the spotlight with others, and protect Evie because she is being overshadowed by her brother in trailers, the game cover, and play demos

start championing for women of color and stop poc erasure. it happens way too often in every fandom and it’s a fucking disgrace.

E3 2015: A summary

THE TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH!

LMFAOOOOO BASICALLY

Even a Mass Effect game didn’t hype me as much as Fallout 4

hell that dishonored 2 trailer had me literally screaming. people thought i was hurt.

It's a funny thing, ambition. It can take one to sublime heights or harrowing depths. And sometimes they are one and the same.

dishonored fans getting ready like

“high chaos”

“low chaos”
