Just be sure we will have to divert to original topic at some point.

While I'm sure that sounded terribly witty inside your own head, it won't distract anyone from how easily you were proven wrong.

Not better than the first one, what else?

The only thing you've proven is that you have absolutely nothing of value to say. But yeah, you're "winning" or whatever, sure.

Yet the atmosphere and immersion was better in the first one, right?

at certain points, such as the sidequests and characters like daud, id say the first game has it over on the second, but they are both wildly different in setting and style
the first game was revenge on corrupt government officials and much darker and depressing in a london-esq city where the poor all die or hide and only the rich thrive
the second game is out in a bright, sandy, port city with people at least somewhat thriving no matter who because they need laborers and is about beating/killing Delilah and rescuing your daughter/father

Main plot and immersion literally make what is the game made up from.

I don't think that the tropical setting helped D2 in any way, it was the average Ubisoft-ish formula to make things appeal nicer, bigger (and emptier) and demeanor somehow justified how you should merge with the new environment. I haven't played expansion yet, but I assume it's about the same, DEI included. First game has 97% rating while second one only 89% and expansion sits on 86% even.

I'm just wondering, do we really need to care about any of this. I don't. Games goo, all I care about.

Yes, we do have to care about this in order to have good games.

No we don't. Complaining about this in video games is just another form of anti-woke nonsense, pining for a past that never actually was.

[Denny]

Yes, we do, since it all literally got confirmed earlier this year by exposing consulting companies like Sweet Baby Inc., which by the way, worked on Dishonored 2 expansion as well.

Why does it matter? Seriously, the setting doesn't even have the same legacy of racial injustice that the real world has, so the entire concept of "woke" is irrelevant to the game's setting. A bunch of other forms of bigotry are there, such as classism and homophobia, but not that particular form. This is just one group getting all angry and vocal because games are starting to reflect IRL issues, and this group hates being reminded that the world is changing. That war ended 159 years ago; it's time to accept that.
