I've only heard of the three endings. Do you recall what the fourth ending was?

There's a minor variation of the start of mission 9 where Samuel doesn't fire a gunshot. He just says he's disappointed and leaves.

If you killed everyone in the first 2 missions but didn't kill anyone at all in missions 3 thru 8, you'll go into mission 9 with the low chaos setup and ending. You'll also want to remain undetected in those later missions.

I found 3 so far:
-Low chaos one
-High chaos (regular)
-High chaos (emily dies)

Tbh the last one makes no sense for dishonored 2. I'd like them to have explanation for players who decided to let her dies.

yes im really interested in why they brought Emily back in dishonored 2 if she can die in 1, and in one of the endings at the epilogue Corvo gets old and dies I think. So how come these characters that have their deaths determined come back in a sequel.

It seems the devs made the decision to have a "correct" ending where Emily is saved, and a "wrong" ending where Emily dies. Thus, Emily can reprise her role in D2. Perhaps, in D1 when Emily dies, they should have "failed" the game and had us replay the last mission or at least the last segement. However you look at it, the devs seem to have dropped the ball on this one. But, you know what? I forgive them because the rest of theis game is SO FARGING AWESOME!!!!

True. But they can also make something really easy that totally make sense: intervention of the Outsider. But it really pisses me off if they just choosed that there is a good ending.

When Corvo gets old and dies, it's not part of the sequel, it's just showing you how you are remembered after your death.

At the time they finish the game, they weren't sure if there will be a sequel so they write an end that make sense depending of how you play the game. The succes of the game was so huge that they made a sequel for sure but I think they wanted to polish the game before thinking about the next potetial game. (pretty rare in this industry :) )
I am sure the Dishonored 2 introduction will be perfect :) also, in books, you can read things that talk a little bit about what probably happend between the one and the two.

Well D1 was pretty clearly not written with a sequel in mind but as a one-off story, so the choices that could be made were too wide ranging to easily create a sequel that accomodated them all while retaining the characters. So they decided to just ignore the choice aspect of D1 and create a one-option narrative of how D1 was supposed to work. If you made the choices they didn't pick your playthrough just doesn't count anymore. Though we also don't know all of the choices either, so we can't say for sure what kind of playthrough would be the canon one. It does point to a more low chaos run and we know Samuel, Daud, Sokolov, and Emily all make it out.

Personally I would have preferred if they had just dropped Corvo & Co. and moved to a completely different set of characters and a different location so that the D1 choices just wouldn't matter so that anyone's playthrough could be canon, but it's their world and they get to make the decisions.

Spoilers for The Birgmore Witches DLC.
I think that the high chaos ending to Dishonered 1, is what happens if you get the bad ending to the Brigmore Witches DLC*.

So this means that Dishonered 2 follows on from the Low Chaos ending of D1.

* Also take a look at the picture that Emily is drawing in the Hound Pits Pub, in the High Chaos play through.

What would the Outsider be intervening in, why's it easier than picking an ending, and why would it make sense?

i think dishonored2 is taking place about a decade after, not when corvo's dead

[seakoala]

No.
In dishonored 2 you can play as corvo or emily.

[joe]

so who's with who, corvo or emily? XD
