Does anybody play this on PC with a pad?
I've just installed and started playing the second mission, however when I open the powers wheel I can't use the right stick to scroll through them like in the first game which means I can only use the four powers / weapons I've hotkeyed to the D-Pad.
Any fixes?

I finished my High Chaos Corvo playthrough, and right at the very end I thought it fitting that Corvo should leave Emily as a statue and take the throne for himself. Corvo the Black, the Outsider called him in the epilogue. 
One thing that did strike me is that, unlike the first Dishonored, in Dishonored 2 there wasn't a huge difference between low chaos and high chaos. In the first game, things got progressively more run down, far more rat plagues, etc., and the final level was very radically different. But in Dishonored 2 the locations were pretty much identical. In the Grand Palace chapter there was a blood flies nest where in Low Chaos there was a begger, but that's about it.
Anyway, on to "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" now, which I picked up yesterday in the Steam sale for £13-odd. Yay!

Was waiting for Xmas for this - played the original and loved it but so far I am entirely unimpressed. (Also that I paid full price and it is now on sale!).
The control system seems sluggish and graphics are very out dated (running on a PS4 Pro and flagship 4K TV - other games look fantastic). Am I the only one noticing this? I read above of people doing a second run through of the game but I can barely muster the enthusiasm to get to the half way point.
Tell me I'm wrong?

There is no right or wrong, merely opinion. I enjoyed it, and it seems you don't. How can this be right or wrong?
Of course it is personal preference but my question was around the tech issues of sluggish controls and visual quality which make the game unplayable.Seems there are widespread issues with input lag, performance and visual glitches across all platforms. Has anyone one else experienced these on a PS4?

Ah, I see; I understand what you meant now. Well, for what it's worth, I'm on the PC platform and have had none of the issues that others have reported. The game did run incredibly slowly when I first bought it, but then I installed the very latest driver for my nVidia graphics card and it ran absolutely fine after that. I realise that doesn't have any relevance to you on the PS4 though. Seems there are widespread issues with input lag, performance and visual glitches across all platforms.

Tech issues aside, though, I really enjoyed it and thought it brought something fresh to the table over the original. Yes, in some ways it was "more of the same" but I thought that the story contrivance that they used to arrange it was well done. And also the two characters (Emily and Corvo), the different powers they have, and the two play styles (low chaos and high chaos) made it sufficiently different that it gives replayability.
The "Cracks in the Pavement" chapter was very good too, with it's wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, and your powers not working during that chapter (I don't think that is a spoiler, particularly).
The DLC "Death of the Outsider" is now available.
It's a rather hefty £19.99 on Steam for the PC version ( link), although much cheaper on Amazon at £11.99 (PC DVD version, digital download is £19.99 same as Steam). Console versions are around £15 on Amazon.
Worth noting that it doesn't show up as a DLC on your Steam library if navigating from the main Dishonored 2 game, hence the handy link above.
