Is it better to play as Emily or Corvo?

In Dishonored 2, choosing between Emily and Corvo depends on your preferred playstyle: Emily offers new, finesse-focused powers like Domino and Doppelganger for strategic crowd control, fitting a fresh playthrough where she's the narrative focus, while Corvo provides familiar, often more direct powers (like Bend Time) from the first game, making him a great choice for returning players or replay value. Emily's story feels more central as the Empress, but Corvo offers a valid, fatherly perspective, with both characters allowing for stealth or high-chaos runs.

Is Avowed similar to Skyrim?

Avowed is often compared to Skyrim because it's a first-person fantasy RPG with exploration, but it's actually quite different, featuring more focused "open zones" (like The Outer Worlds), faster, flashier combat, and a deeper emphasis on Obsidian's signature story and choices rather than Skyrim's sprawling, sandbox world. Think of it as a more compact, story-driven adventure with modern combat, not a direct clone of Skyrim's massive open world and systemic feel.
