Dishonored is a vastly superior game when played as a stealth game, though much of its design pushes you towards murdering everyone.

I hear good things about this. Can I play 2 without playing the first one?

You can, but honestly if you're up for stealth, even though Dishonored has that gameplay built in, as Kahzgul has mentioned, the game really doesn't want you to. It is a bleak and bloodthirsty game. If you want to play purely stealth, expect the game to fight you in ever so subtle and not so subtle ways. I, myself, could never get into it because of this.

The mark seems to be very much like the ring of power.

There's some truth to this. It's easy to commit acts of violence. I realized this when I accidentally decapitated someone in one of the early missions. But being stealthy even most of the time pays off in terms of the gameplay and the narrative.

Ultimately, Dishonored is a great game full stop however you play it.
