Chloë Grace Moretz did an excellent job of conveying Emily's character in the first game, as well as the narrator of The Tales of Dunwall series.

Conversely, Erica Luttrell failed to bring the same personality. And I actually like Luttrell as she had a guest spot on Arrow and even did the voice work for Candy, one of my fave characters from Dave the Barbarian, among her other achievements of course.

I get that Emily is older, not a wide-eyed child anymore, etc... but honestly, she was just dull in D2. I don't know what direction was given after casting the two leads in the sequel, but grumbly disinterest seem to be in the forefront for both of them.

It could be argued that how she is portrayed in The Corroded Man may have influenced my take on her, because that story really turned me against her character. However, going into D2 the first time, I let none of that affect me putting it down to perhaps a 'one-off'. However, the more I played as her, the more memories came back of what I didn't like about her from the novel.

Overall, if it weren't for my positive feelings for the character in the first game, I wouldn't have really cared much about her in the second game as she seemed flat, uninteresting, and nothing new drew me to root for the character. In D1 I wanted to right the wrongs for Jessamine's death. In D2, I was merely going through the paces of playing a game.
