I prefer Daud over Corvo.

[tara]

I like Daud's powers more. I like Daud's voice. I like his outfit and his character overall more than Corvo. Daud for me is just so much more fun to play. Corvo has novel little powers like Windblast or Devouring Swarm, but Daud does just as well without them because they are just novelty powers. I like the wristbow better, and the functionality of a wristbow over the crossbow. The wristbow frees up your hands. I want a full Daud game. DLC isn't enough for me. I also like how Daud's upgraded jump is smoother than Corvo's. His is like a *whoosh* and Corvo is like *whoosh whoosh*.

Corvo is who you make him. For me, I have the mental-canon of him being this dark, romantic, depressed assassin. He's got the looks for it, and Arkane shared my thoughts as well becuase that's exactly what his personality turned out to be in Dishonored 2.

You need to think and play as Corvo. Daud is already an established character which is why he speaks and Corvo doesn't. After they established Corvo's personality, he gained a voice in Dishonored 2.

I never thought of it like that. I'm really getting into the story more than ever before and it feels like Corvo can in my mind be developed into more of a character. I have completed the main story about 12 times but I never stopped and read the books and notes and things like that. In my current playthrough I'm really playing for the story and going through, reading all the books and notes and eavesdropping on everyone's conversations.
I still like Daud's powers more :P

Me too, I also love how he has a voice and he is definetlya better, and more intresting character than Corvo, it makes it much more enjoyable to play as him.

Daud is definitely my favorite of the major characters, which I honestly wasn't expecting before the DLC came out. I remember being extremely nervous when it was first announced that he'd be the lead, because I liked him like I like a lot of this series' side characters and I was scared they'd ♥♥♥♥ it up. It's so rare for mysterious side-villains to stay good once they get the spotlight and I was really pleasantly surprised (not that there's nothing I could complain about, there's always something i can complain about).

Bonus points for villain redemption arc that I can actually buy. (you know that massive textwall about why Corvo's a violent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? I've got a matching one for why Daud's low-chaos as heck)

I definitely prefer the method of giving people a fully-formed character to inhabit (what would HE do?), rather than asking players to directly project onto the lead (what would I do?). Corvo was too much of an un-character. You don't really get enough information to get in his head, but he has to much history to work as a blank slate, which is what I thin they were attempting.

I really enjoy playing as Corvo now, but that's after a lot of discussion and poring over the notes and building a character out of scraps. Some people say that was ~intentional~ and maybe it was but there's gotta be something off about a story that's only really good the sixth time through. Daud was great from the first playthrough because he arrived on the scene a fully-formed character.

oh and... yeah, he's more fun to play, too, for me. just on the strength of that blink alone. Unless you're playing like a really loud murder run, that's where Corvo's kit really shines.

Well Daud was ALWAYS an assasian, were as poor corvo was forced into it from the death of someone he cared about and the framing and betray of himself, When the world is in ashs and you have to step up, you arn't going to be the happyiest or best assaisian ever, but you will get the job done for emily and the past empress.

[Zekiran]

Yeah I actually preferred playing Daud in the DLC than Corvo in the main story. (on the other hand: I really enjoyed playing Corvo in D2.)

For all the reasons listed above, Daud has a personality, has regrets and thought he had desires but they turned out to be just complications.

[John Wayne]

Corvo all the way <3
Daud and Emily are fun too

I just prefer Daud's arsenal. I love the stun mines, assassin summoning ability, stopping time while airborne measuring our blinking path, pull items from enemies to get keys and money in a distance. Very nice arsenal, better than what Corvo has.

True. That's mostly what I like about him because Corvo's purposeful lack of a personality can be filled with my own imagination but I can't get Daud's powers.

So far I combined a few Bone Charms helping me out to infiltrate better, still find difficulties taking down enemies without actually killing them cause Corvo has some limits to do so. If there could be a page or diagram or anything which shows everything what Corvo and Daud has, I would be able to point out some important gadget and ability times when Daud is more usefuly than Corvo.

You forget Corvo's possession, extremely useful.

I can't count the number of times I wish Corvo had Daud's pull ability. I also wish Corvo had Daud's choke dust and stun mines for non-lethal runs.

Corvo has too few tools usable by nonlethal runners.

[Zekiran]

We really need all the powers that, say, the Witches and other Marked folks have. I would love to have a choice between firing little bolts of lava or thorns or teleporting like water.

[chickadeedeedee]

Pull is so OP I love it.

I'm still mad dissapointed that we won't get to play as Billie while she still had some of Daud and Delilah's powers. That could have been a really interesting kit.
