The last thing Delilah Copperspoon said before you killed her (if you took that route, of course), was "She has taken my life away from me". Undoubtedly she was referring to Jessamine, to whom she was childhood friend.
Now all this needs to be confirmed, but I've read somewhere that Delilah might be a half-sister to Jessamine, bastard daughter of Emperor Euhron Kaldwin, born a year earlier - she was given a copper spoon while Jessamine was given a silver one, being of royal blood.
Something happened when two girls grew up, something that forced Delilah to leave the court. Maybe Delilah couldn't stand being a simple "baker's apprentice" or maybe Emperor Euhron wanted to keep her away to keep secret their ties. Delilah left and became apprentice of Anton Sokolov.
If these rumours about her origins are true then it would make sense why she considers herself the rightful heir to the throne, Delilah Kaldwin.
It could be considered a retcon because of this note that can be found in the DLC: "“The girl Emily Kaldwin will have the mind of Delilah the First, who did not inherit everything she got, but came to power through the force of her own genius.”", but, in the end, you can interpret it however you wish.

A bit surprised that my card (7950) is now below the minimum requirements... even though I can still run almost everything at 1080p at Very High (or Ultra.)
DX:MD being the exception, but I honestly think that's because its engine is badly coded, since even today's top-of-the-line €1,000 card could barely push 60fps at the time.

Yeah, the $1000 AMD card couldn't do much, but at release a 1070 could hold 60FPS at 1080p/high. The performance advantage with Nvidia cards is almost as big as the gap between AMD and Intel CPU's nowadays.

I meant the €1,000 nvidia card, which could barely break 60FPS at 1080p/ultra when the game was new.
They've since released a patch which is meant to massively improve performance, especially on AMD cards. But that's totally derailing the topic. My point was that even that was playable at 1920x1200 on my old card, which is now below the minimum spec for Dishonoured 2 - though I do consider 30-40 FPS to be "playable" for slower-paced games like these.

I don't really get that "don't pre-order" argument.
Yes, logically it doesn't make sense to buy something before you need it from an economic point of view, but it doesn't really make much difference either.
I buy games to support the developers so that they can continue to make the kinds of games that I like.
I trust Arkane. I've enjoyed all of their previous games and want them to continue making more. At the absolute worst, I can imagine Dishonoured 2 not being quite as good as the previous one, but I'd still buy it anyway.
Surely preordering games gives the developers more cash earlier, which they can invest in making the game even better? (At least, that's the idea behind kickstarter, it probably doesn't work quite like that with big publisher games.)
That said, I never actually got around to preordering this. I had meant to, but I forgot.

Don't preorder because it creates a disconnect between game quality and game success. In most cases preordering is buying a game on the strength of the marketing rather than the strength of the actual game. It's definitely part of the problem with triple a.
Vivian on 3/11/2016 at 18:12
Basically it means that you get more of stuff that can be marketed easily and less of stuff that is actually good. Get it?
