I think a prequel would be the best to start with. Personally, I'd love to see Daud's origins on Serkonos. We know that he was kidnapped during his childhood and that after receiving the Mark he traveled across the Isles, visiting Outsider shrines. We know that he lost favor with the Outsider at some point before Dishonored. Perhaps this can all be explored in "Dishonored 2".

It'd be great to see the Empire during the early days of its industrial revolution, and a bright, clear, sunny, colorful setting on Serkonos would contrast well with Dunwall's bleakness while still providing plenty of opportunity for evil to exist.

Daud as a swashbuckling assassin, with some appropriate sea witch, corrupt governor, skeleton pirate, Overseer witch-hunts, and lost MacGuffin treasure elements, and you have a start already.

I also think seeing the Morley Insurrection would be great. I envision sneaking your way across a fleet during a naval battle to assassinate a target, or making your way across an active battlefield, and I think it'd work well with the main character on either side. Perhaps (s)he could be the Royal Spymaster for the Empire, or a freedom fighter of Morley. Who knows?

I'm sure that whatever setting they decide to run with for the next game, if there is a next game, of course, will be great. :)
