What is the setting for the action-adventure video game series which includes Emily Kaldwin as a character?
Emily Kaldwin Emily Kaldwin is a fictional character of the "Dishonored" series. She is a lead protagonist in the sequel, "Dishonored 2". In the story of the first game, she is the daughter of the Empress and the player-character, Corvo. When the Empress is assassinated and Emily kidnapped, the player recovers Emily whereupon she serves as a moral compass by expressing herself differently based on the player's proclivity for violence in their gameplay choices. Emily reigns for 15 years leading up to the sequel's story, when she is usurped and escapes to plot her revenge. The developers noted Emily and her relationship with the player as one of the most compelling elements they took to the sequel. Her announcement as its protagonist was unveiled as a surprise and welcomed by games journalists as emblematic of progress for female representation in video games, leading an industry trend towards more prevalent lead female protagonists at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Neverwinter Nights 2 Neverwinter Nights 2 is a role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Atari, Inc. It is the sequel to BioWare's "Neverwinter Nights", based on the "Dungeons & Dragons" pencil and paper fantasy role-playing game. "Neverwinter Nights 2" utilizes an adaptation of the "Dungeons & Dragons" 3.5 edition rules. Players create player characters to represent themselves in the game, using the same character creation rules as found in the "Dungeons & Dragons" game. They may gain the assistance of additional party members, and they eventually acquire a keep that can be used as a base of operations. "Neverwinter Nights 2" is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting—in and around the city of Neverwinter. The story is mostly unrelated to "Neverwinter Nights" and follows the journey of an orphaned adventurer investigating a group of mysterious artifacts known as "silver shards" and their connection to an ancient, evil spirit known as the King of Shadows.
