When we looked at working on a grander scale, a whole city, and looked at the theme of - throughout history we’ve seen groups of people banding together and rising up to take down oppression and right wrongs. We’ve kept scaling up the challenge that the group wants to deal with, and scaled up the team accordingly. At the end of Watch Dogs 2 you even play as each of the characters, each of the DedSec members. Then you had Watch Dogs 2, with a greater cast of characters that had the grander goal of taking down corrupt corporations. It was more of a personal underground goal. Does that sum it up? Or can there be a single person who is the main character?Ĭrooks: We started with Watch Dogs, where you had a single protagonist who had a larger goal to solve. This time it could be anybody playing the character who’s dealing with Sabine or Bagley or going after Albion. GamesBeat: What’s interesting, then, is that you have a main character villain who’s almost always there, and you have your two sidekicks, but - it’s a contrast to the previous two games, where you had either Marcus or Aiden. You work with these characters to solve the question of who is Zero Day, why did they do what they did, and how are the villains involved in all of this.

Throughout this experience, you’re regularly meeting back with Sabine, and also your crazy AI assistant Bagley, who’s full of British sarcasm and brings a real lightening tone to the game. Then your job is to rebuild the core of DedSec, but also the primary goal here is to look for who is Zero Day, why they set DedSec up, and also look at how Nigel Cass and other villains you discover, how they’re all involved in this grander plot to oppress and take over London. That’s where you come in, as the first operative. Sabine, who is one of the characters from DedSec, escapes, and her job is to try to reboot DedSec. His job is to run around London and wipe out the remaining elements of DedSec. DedSec at that point is hunted down by a character called Nigel Cass, who is the owner of a private military corporation. That’s designed to set up DedSec as being an evil group. They set up a bunch of bombs around London. At the beginning of the game, you’re introduced to a character, an AR character called Zero Day, there on the roofs of Parliament. Sean Crooks: There’s a strong continuous narrative that runs through the entire game. It’s hard for me to tell whether there’s a continuous thread to the story or if you really do play with more random characters throughout the whole thing. I know Aiden Pearce is going to be in the DLC.
GamesBeat: I wanted to catch up on the main character question.
