* AuthorsSavingThrow: The dev team felt that the representation of female characters in the first game was somewhat lackluster (Details on this can be found on [[Trivia/{{Dishonored}} the first game's trivia page]]), and [[OldShame expressed some regret over it]]. As such, they decided to address the issue in this game by giving female characters larger roles, and other minority groups are also represented more than in the first game; there are at least two homosexual relationships [[note]]Theodanis Abele & Aramis Stilton, and Delilah & Breanna[[/note]], and the minor character Mindy Blanchard was confirmed by WordOfGod to be transgender.
** One of the biggest criticisms of the first game is that despite giving you a huge suite of tools to kill people in odd or creative ways, you're punished with a bad ending by the KarmaMeter for killing too many people. This means that the most fun way to play the game is also the one that will result in an ending most people won't like. ''Dishonored 2'' rebalances the karma system so that it's possible to kill more enemies without triggering the High Chaos ending.

Dishonored 2 new avenues for nonlethal takedowns:
*** Stun grenades and stinging darts give you more options to knock out targets or make them flee.
*** Nonlethal drop attacks can be used to instantly KO targets inside or outside of combat.
*** Players now have a variety of tools to deal with enemies nonlethally in direct combat by triggering a chokeholds after a parry, knocking them down (e.g. with a dart to the leg) then stomping them unconscious or sliding into enemies for an instant takedown.
*** Where several of Corvos powers (e.g. Windblast and Rat Swarm) were only useful on loud or lethal runs, Emily's new powers are designed to be equally effective whether the player is going loud or stealthy, lethal or nonlethal.

* ShoutOut: A meta example: Corvo is SuddenlyVoiced by Creator/StephenRussell, who's best known for his role as [[VideoGame/{{Thief}} Garrett]]. Given that ''Dishonored'' is considered a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series, this had to be deliberate. In a strange meta way, Garrett is indeed Emily's real "father".

* DevelopmentGag: The clockworks present in-game are far different from the ones shown in the debut trailer; a document in-game reveals that Jindosh scrapped the designs because their human-like faces weren't intimidating enough. In addition, the face and part of the torso for one of these can be found in display cases in Duke Abele's office and Jindosh's mansion.
