Any story difference between Emily and corvo?

[Mr Chow]

I just finished the story as corvo with low chaos no kills etc. I am thinking of playing high chaos Emily. Is there any real difference in the story aside from chaos?

There are some individual areas that are markedly different, and many of the background interactions between NPCs is obvious and sometimes painful.

The main difference that you'll note are the mental monolog and the comments from the Heart. In low chaos corvo you will note the adoration and softness ... high not so much.

Most folks seem to like high chaos emily because she has some very strong powers geared for lethality. Dad's a lurker and likes to keep to the shadows.

The differences are not exactly subtle but they're not in your face all the time.

The only real difference is the dialogue between you and the NPC's and the one liners when you eliminate the target.

I think that it is worth seeing this game from Emily's perspective.

And Emily's powers can easily be tailored to either a high or low chaos play through.

There are no real story differences per se, just minor detail deifferences necessary for your assumed character. The story events are kinda [INSERT APPROPRIATE CHARACTER HERE].

While this is true, I thought that Dishonored 2 is the story of how Emily gained the knowledge, skills and perspective that she needs to become an effective Empress.

Otherwise Corvo would save the day, and Emily would say “Corvo my friend… I haven’t learned a thing.”

^^ That's a very good point.

Either way, Corvo would never learn the secrets of Delilah - she's just some chick that showed up out of the blue. She was out of Dunwall Tower by the time he was there as a teenager, though she did know of him or there may have been a very small amount of overlap. So unless Emily actually goes through and tells her father EVERYTHING she's learned - about Billie Lurk, Daud saving her from Delilah, all of that - he remains utterly and completely clueless as to ANY of the actual plot events from before Jessamine was murdered to when he wakes up from Delilah's stone spell.
