History Heartwarming / Dishonored2

* Although Delilah's coven seemed to attract a lot of murderous pyschopaths, there's a genuine warmth and camaraderie between them. A witch would scream in horror and despair if you killed another in front of them or otherwise profess relief if all you did was knock them out. They'd have tea time, enjoyed a bit of gossip and even making jokes about Delilah and Breanna. If not for the unrestrained murder and torture, they would be like a group of women seeking refuge and love with each other against the Empire's patriarchal society.

* If you choose to save [[spoiler: Aramis Stilton]] from his fate by way of knocking him out, his formerly dilapidated mansion becomes bustling and alive again, with the Dust District prospering because of his efforts - making this one of the few choices in the game that never really backfires.
** It has the result of Lucia Pastor's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech becoming another CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Lucia chides you for letting the Duke run wild in Serkonos and causing so much suffering. Furthermore, that they did so because you didn't do anything to make the situation better. Emily and Corvo, however, know that they have already made a substantial difference to the lives of the destitute in the region.

* Rescuing [[spoiler: Doctor Hypathia]] is an optional quest. Unlike the previous game, where all of your targets were assholes at best, [[spoiler: Hypathia]] stands out for being a truly altruistic person, who cared for the miners and only [[spoiler: succumbed to madness in an attempt to find a cure for their sickness]]. During that mission, you get to hear everyone desperately trying to see her as she was one of the few people with power in Karnaca who cared for the underclass at the time, the other being [[spoiler:Stilton, until his mind snapped]].

* During the last Mission you can visit the Royal Protector's room. IE Corvo's. Where you can find the framed drawings of Jessamine and Corvo that Emily drew in the first game. The ones with Mummy and Daddy on them.
* Seeing [[spoiler: Billie reunite with a familiar looking red long-coated man in the low chaos ending]] is happy for anyone who played ''Knife of Dunwall'' and ''The Brigmore Witches''.

* During the Death to the Empress mission, you can stumble upon an audiograph made by a witch by the name of Marykate and Jenny. It goes to show that even amongst murderous psychopath, there's a hint of innocence in the coven.

-->'''Witch Jenny''': So now my voice will live on, even after I’m dead and gone.

* Finding out that [[spoiler: Billie Lurk]] has made a new life in Karnaca for herself and even made true friends in Stilton and Sokolov.

* Seeing [[spoiler: Billie reunite with a familiar looking red long-coated man in the low chaos ending]] is happy for anyone who played ''Knife of Dunwall'' and ''The Brigmore Witches''.

* On Low Chaos, when Jessamine's spirit [[spoiler:leaves the Heart and dissipates into the Void. Whether she's bidding her farewell to Emily or Corvo, she holds their hands and takes that sensation, along with her love for them, into nothingness with her. Emily gets to say a proper goodbye to her mother at last, and Corvo has a more bittersweet line wishing peace for the love of his life, "star of my sky."]] Either way, Jessamine finally gets to rest.

* It's a small detail that is rarely mentioned among lets players, and even the tropes mentioned on the main page... But look at the Heart and compare it to the Heart in the first game. When it comes to quotes about characters, the secrets the heart divulges have an almost even split of good / bad in Dishonored 2. In the first game, quotes regarding the welfare / personalities of npcs were cynical at best, with even the more hopeful quotes containing some darkness and pessimism... But 15 years after the Plague, 15 years of Empress Emily, and the current generation as of Dishonored 2 have grown up in an environment that allows for selfless traits to foster and be nurtured. (Examples of purely optimistic/positive quotes: An Overseer who did not hesitate to leap into an inferno to save a boy when others simply stood by and watched, a guard turning a blind eye to a desperate father stealing to feed his children, a veteran guard putting a stop to severe prisoner abuse when he arrives at his new post... And on and on.) It's small and ultimately meaningless in terms of game-play mechanics and plot, but these little secrets add flavor to the setting of Dishonored 2, and help to support the fact that Emily's rule has allowed for Gristol to grow prosperous and far more just.

* [[spoiler:During a Low Chaos ending where you killed the Duke and replaced him with Corvo, it states that Corvo Attano is "the first of his line" - implying he has children. Apparently, he did find love again after finally letting Jessamine go.]]

* During the Dust District mission, on Low Chaos at the Overseer's Office, you get to hear an Overseer dying from his injuries. He laments that he wasn't careful during a raid but was glad that his friend was there with him. In a CallBack to a similar scene in Dishonored, said friend delivers a MercyKill, then poured wine over the deceased face respectfully. A very human moment for bunch of fanatics.
