Trailer
the Post-show is talking about the setting and Emily on the stream. Some worldbuilding stuff and Emily-specific info.
Emily doesn't get blink, but has far-reach (the tentacle grab), has different animations/movement, etc...
They're also talking about how the level design has to accommodate both Emily and Corvo's varied power sets and focuses.
No co-op, single player gives more choice/consequence. Make a choice at the beginning between characters, and can't switch during a playthrough (reportedly for story-associated reasons). Also, Corvo and Emily get different 'takes' on the story based on their varying circumstances/personalities.
