You haven't fucked up at all. Emily is perfectly capable with her powers.
Honestly I would play through with powers first, the game is probably much harder without.

Yep. Their world building is second to none and the series probably has my favorite art design. You could remove the enemies or the game aspect altogether and I think I would still wind up with plenty of hours from just exploring and looking at things.
I have it on Pro, game is excellent.
Item question
Anyone know where the key for the black market shop robbery is in Dunwall, the message in front says that it was dropped behind some bottle, we can't find that anywhere and then to take the traders to Boyle Investments which is just full of Hatters and no key. Help pls
How long?

Apparently it runs at a near complete 30 lock compared to what i'm hearing from people playing OG. The game is running at higher than 1080. When downsampled the clarity is pretty damn sharp and clean.

Liking it a lot, far more than the first game at least. Game isn't stunning looking on the Pro but so far it seems to run well and looks very clean, so it's pretty good.

Sorry, I haven't kept up with this game at all despite looking forward to it...no reviews yet at all? Isn't it out today (11th)?
Kind of a drag to hear the writing/VA hasn't improved. The dull narrative of the first one basically killed it for me, despite how great the level design was.
How are the non-lethal options this time around? Is it enjoyable to go that route, or are you only limited to sleep darts again?

Btw, for those who don't know already, you can check your stats in the menu during the middle of a mission in case you wanna know if you killed someone or got detected.
Also, quick save/quick load are available on consoles as well.
A lot of Emily's power can be used for non-lethal applications (Domino, Shadow Walk, Mesmerize, and Far Reach for yanking enemies and choking them out).
There are some new non-lethal gear as well like stun mines (which shocks and knocks out enemies), howling bolts (which blinds enemies), and stinging bolts (causing an immense pain to an enemy, forcing him/her to flee)

Distract them off. Its most likely by earshot due to the audio bug that both you and enemies can hear far farther than expected. I used a lot of thrown item to get them farther away. After that its cake.

Oh sweet some more type of non-lethal bolts.
And being able to check the stats during a mission is godsend.

How do I pull things towards me and throw them using the blink perk, I have it unlocked.

Cursed Einstein's Riddle puzzle... And it doesn't even give enough properly linked hints. Damnit Arkane.
Got a spreadsheet here that I'm fiddling with in frustration.

Awesome, thanks. Will carry on as usual then.

Crashed my Playstation twice before I could get it to even start. Stayed on the splash screen, and made my Ps4 sound like a dying car. Thankfully it worked the third time. Was starting to get mad.
Go into the options and put friction down to zero and sensitivity up until it feels good.

Non lethal is dramatically improved. Lots of lethal options before have been modified to provide non-lethal variants. You can even fight enemies straight up and have non-lethal maneuvers.
Gotcha, thanks!

Interesting you say that. This morning a number of subscribers are reporting that as well. Enough that it got into the discord chat and others were chiming in,. Not sure whats up there but I know they were going to inform the devs

Thanks folks, i'll hold back for now at least. This certainly doesn't seem like another case of DOOM where it transpires on the day after release that the game must be bought at all costs...
Hopefully some reviews will pop up soon (if they haven't already).
Cheers again.
Yep. Even some of the powers, like Emily's Shadow Walk, gives you a choice between lethal or non-lethal.
Hmm, didn't really make it better for me. I'll just restore to default and try and adjust to it.
It's general issue in the game, in every level. You can hear someone talking few meters out, but take 0.5 steps to right and person talking goes mute. Audio from dialogue to music can and do randomly cut off or go very quiet.

Are you using throwable items to lure enemies away? Has helped me break up a couple of "impossible" situations. Is really effective when combined with the air attack takedown.
Redirective Blink is awesome./ Getting into a 2 V 1 fight, letting them run at you, then disappearing and reappearing behind them: "Hey, where'd he go?". They swing round wildly, looking for you, but it's too late, you're on them like a panther, skewering one with a crossbow bolt between the eyes and slicing the other's head clean from his shoulders.
God this game's combat is brilliant.

I'm playing through the original and the DLCs first since that came with my order of 2. Pretty nice deal. I wanna do a low chaos run as I did high chaos on my playthrough back when 1 first came out. Ghost and Clean Hands let's do this.
That was my problem with the first game. Combat was super amazing but you were kind of punished for exercising it.

Is the ' air takedown' something you have to unlock?
Rexatality

No, its something you can do while attacking enemies from above. Basically, you drop at an enemy above their heads and you can choose whether to kill them or knock them out

Aha, I think I figured out the riddle upon further inspection of the prose. I remembered one key ingredient of Einstein's Riddle that Jindosh's tries to downplay. Very clever.
They can see me when I'm above them! I totally don't get it.
Rexatality

While I agree the A.I are sometimes supernatural (no pun intended), the fact they can see above you was basically addressing the A.I complaints back in the first game (How they can't see the player from above, not aware of a wall of light being disabled, and so on)

Here's the solution to Jindosh's Riddle, complete with my reasoning for how I came to it. Spoilers, of course, click at your peril.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Their vision cone does seem to extend a fair bit higher on the Z-axis than in the previous game, for sure. And with Emily, at least, it's not necessarily indicated as well by the dark vision power.
Are you talking straight vertical above them? Or in front of them a good distance up?
It is pretty 'finicky' in whether or not you're close enough when dropping to execute the drop attack, though.
I've dropped down, pressed RB right as I presume I'm dropping down on a person, and then stupidly hold up my sword for a block on the ground.
It changes up names and colors but should help others.

Oh. Well either way, knowing Einstein's Riddle logic should be a big help for anyone attempting it. Especially if they know all the variables in play.
For example this just happened to me. In mission 3, right at the start, there are two guards in the center. I blink to one of the window ledges and they are inside the doorway. One of them sees me. This isn't normal. This game is sucking IMO.
