Amicia’s conflicted morals are the main change in how you actually play the game, at least from the trailer. The plague of rats seems to have returned after Hugo had a rat-nado showdown in a church at the end of the first game, and so you still need to sneak through them using light and shade to your advantage. Amicia still uses her sling, both to solve puzzles and attack enemies, and in a one-on-one fight against a soldier she’ll probably lose. These days, though, she seems to want to take the fight to them a bit more. We’ll see if the game gets a bit more active than passive as you play, cos the trailer also shows her stabbing a guy in the neck, shooting another with a crossbow, and stranging one with a garotte. Nice.
It’s also interesting to see the no-kill vs. all-kill routes in a stealth game rising it’s ratty little head again. Will this once again be a high chaos or low chaos kind of situation? Will it change your outcome if you take the more difficult route of not pushing dudes into vats of ravenous rodents?
