Former Arkane designer says Dishonored 2 cost more to make than Skyrim, and while it didn't meet Bethesda's sales expectations, the series' reputation still 'saved the studio' (www.pcgamer.com)

I very recently played the 1st, and am currently mid way through 2. All these years later, and 2 still has jarring performance dips.... On my 5800X3D and 6800XT... I legit think they made 2 way too heavy for their game engine.

The amount of frustrations is way more, too. I've had to load saves so many times because I'm RIGHT behind someone, but instead of a stealth kill, I just slash my sword at their back and alert every one else in the process. Also stealth kills from jumping down on people. There's like a 1/4 second time window to press sword attack, and all the damn time I just slice at the top of their head, or land on them, both breaking stealth and alerting everyone, again... Just a month ago I never struggled with any of these issues playing the 1st.
