By doing nothing, I meant above and beyond the normal investigations (sorry, should've clarified that). Corvo presses Emily to do something about it at the beginning, which she dismisses and also alludes that Corvo himself hasn't done anything all that meaningful. I feel like he either wanted her to wear the crown as she should and make some decisions or that if he acted too much on his own he would seem like he was overstepping.

As for the coup, it wasn't only embarrassing, it was insulting. Corvo had everything stacked against him in the first game, this time it just seemed... forced (I mean ALL the guards just turn on them?). Meh. And while Emily is supposed to be the canon character, I never really connected to her. I don't know if it was the first novel that I read before playing the game, her voice actor, or just the dialogue, but I didn't seem to really care.

Meh spoiled brat loses everything... moving on.

I also never really got a sense of redemption. It felt more like luck that got them through. Say what you will about the Loyalists, but they had a plan. Emily and Friends though just kinda stumble through most of the plot hoping things will work out. The fact that Meagan's back-and-forth and hidden knowledge of Delilah doesn't help much and just adds unnecessary drama.
