They leave their posts and walk around in civilian clothing, which is both a nice realistic detail and can provide the opportunity to safely dish out some revenge on them when they're not in heavily restricted areas (like I did with the one who kidnapped my getaway driver). The best part of playing as multiple characters is that it frees me up in ways that playing a single protagonist never did.Įach citizen has a daily schedule and relationships with other citizens. None of this has anything to do with how these agents operate, it's just fun flavor to get immersed in and give you a little backstory for the members of your team. A translator only watches 'heartwarming' films and uploads erotic fan fiction about members DedSec. A drunken brawler is an animal rights activist and donates clothing to a queer youth shelter, which is a big yes in my book. Great! But his bio told me he was an anti-vaxxer.

One former cop still had contacts on the police force, which would mean less jail time for my agents. Every citizen has a bio, and I found myself obsessively scrutinizing them to help me decide who to recruit. Starting from scratch with a single, largely unremarkable citizen, I slowly assemble a new DedSec crew to fight back.Īnd there are finer details to dig into. An oppressive private military firm, Albion, is now running London, a ruthless mob boss is running drugs, weapons and human trafficking operations in the city, and there's also a branch of government intelligence and a billionaire tech mogol to contend with. In Watch Dogs Legion, hacker group DedSec has been framed for a series of terrorist bombings in London, and its members are all dead, missing, or jailed. It just took a while to assemble a team of anyones I actually cared about. That's when I realize Legion's play-as-anyone system is actually working for me, and that I've gotten invested in it. I like this guy a lot, and I like playing as him, and the thought of some enemy stealing him from me is absolutely unacceptable. He also has a cool leather jacket and driving gloves and shades-he just looks like a driver from an action movie. He has a skill that prevents police drones from chasing him while he's driving, and another skill that forces every car in his path off the road, parting traffic like the Red Sea.

This is another team member who owns a car, but it's an extremely fast car because he's not just a driver, he's a getaway driver. But a few hours and several new recruits later, another member of my team is kidnapped, and this time I fly into an absolute rage.
