I bought this last week and had a hell of a time getting it to work. It crashed to desktop every couple of mins. After trying every conceivable fix, I eventually discovered that it was down to one of my sticks of ram going haywire. I removed it and now the game runs flawlessy on max settings. Loving it so far. Well worth it for £12.

Tried the demo and it runs flawlessly so that's fine. Seems promising but my god is Corvo the most generic sounding voice ever? Was he silent in the first game?
Yes, I believe he was.
I played through Dishonored 2 as Emily, clean hands as I went a bit postal with Corvo in Dishonored 1 and fancied a change. Never did get around to replaying D2 as Corvo.
If you go ahead and get the full game, The Clockwork Mansion and A Crack in the Slab are both incredibly well designed levels, you're in for a treat

Nice, maybe I should try Emily. I did get the impression that she is the one the game sort of wants you to pick? Not sure. Visuals are lovely, loved the sense of style in the original at the time. I'll give the demo a good go!

I just downloaded this again, and still it's really micro juddery. I'm playing on a X34a. Could someone with the same screen share their video settings?
I'm really keen to play this, and I can't understand why it works for sone and not for others. Surely it's an obscure setting somewhere.

You take that back. He is voiced by Stephen Russell (voice behind Garrett from Thief 1/2) and fits perfectly.
It is much better than when he was mute idiot in first game. God I hate silent protagonists.

Im wondering if its really sensitive to overclocks, it might be a pain but putting cpu and mem to stock and see how it goes? On mine my 6600k is only at 4.2 and no mem oc and its been brilliant.

Maybe after more of the game it would grow on me, just the dialogue I've heard so far seems a bit dreary but I'm sure it's fine

I'll give that a try mate, cheers.
I mean the writing is nothing amazing, but I will still take mediocre writing over no writingMaybe after more of the game it would grow on me, just the dialogue I've heard so far seems a bit dreary but I'm sure it's fine
DLC to first game where you play as Daud, who is voiced by Michael Madsen, was better than the main game and Daud being voiced was one of the reasons as well.

Decided to get this in the end. Only £12.99, so a bargain really for a game that's only been out a few months.
Having waited a while to buy it appears to have paid off "performance wise". Not played that much. But amazing what a few patches will do, seems to run pretty well on my system (even mouse movement is nice and smooth). Very high on 1440 with 100 FOV and seems pretty smooth and frame rate locked to 75FPS. Not seen it dip yet. May well on busier sections, but that's what Gsync is for after all. Graphics a fair step up from the original game.

Ah, I wondered where I'd heard the voice before.

Gah. I don't know if I've spoiled the first one for myself. I've only played about half an hour of Dishonored 1 up until Corvo gets his powers from that guy in the dream. As I was playing on PS3, I decided to stop playing until I can play on PC in 1080p60. But today I thought I'd check out the Dishonored 2 demo on PS4 to see what the improvements were and it tells me on a loading screen that
Tut. I wonder if that was the ending for Dishonored 1.
Corvo is Emily's father!

No its never explicitly stated just hinted at so you havent missed much to be honest. The DLC is really good though and actually sets up D2 quite well.

Personally I thought Dishonored was better than Dishonored 2.
These games are a not actually my cup of tea but I will still buy the standalone expansion when it comes out.
Not a full price tho. I don't buy any games full price either say a BF game or something like that. (Witcher 3, GTA 5 etc)

The game is definitely sensitive to a GPU overclock in my experience.

Both my CPU and GPU are overclocked and no problems so far.
I suspect it's the classic case of some folks overclocks maybe not being as stable as they think. Along comes a new game that pushes your hardware a bit harder and then the problems begin. Only my take on it

Entirely possible.
The reason I put it down to the game is that it doesn't stress my GPU nearly as much as some of my other games, ME:Andromeda springs to mind. The latter will have the GPU at 90%+ and run without a hitch, yet D2 will run at around 60-70% and yet crash.
I still remember when Unreal came out, and it would crash with a CPU OC. Some games are like that.
