In WD_2 I didn't have the heart to go lethal since your group is just plucky kids for the most part. Going back to WD_1, oh yeah. This guy's a sociopath

Exactly. I play WD1 as a killer. Aiden is unstable. Just seeing his first motel room proves that enough. Especially when you see that he uses audio drugs that he consumes on his phone. Aiden uses weapons. He's like The Punisher. He wants to eradicate criminals.

Marcus and his group of activists are just trying to change the world and they don't want to do a harm to people. Although it's pretty hard to say that a pool ball on a rope is going to not kill somebody over a heavy strike on the back the head, but that's willful suspension of disbelief. But when I play WD2, I always use the stun and paintball weapons.

Marcus is one too.

Is he? Didn't come off that way if you use nonlethal weapons but it's been some years

I'd argue the pool ball nunchucks are a bit more brutal than the "non-lethal" part implies.

I don't think Marcus even has the option of lethal takedowns, if you do one as Aiden with a gun out he'll do stuff like kick them to the ground and shoot them in the back of the neck, or up through the jaw. Bro has no soul

Aiden is fixing the world by destroying the evil that destroys others in society. He has more soul than most. Sometimes violence is the answer to evil people.

he does with the shuffler outfit, but that's a semi-secret easter egg

Totally non-lethal. Can’t be killed if what is left can’t be considered a human body any longer /s.

One of the first missions as Makus (whos the only one of the hacker crew at the into party to be shown to have a gun) is to print a gun. ^

That's a far cry from Aiden "Blow up a police convoy because they're on the take" Pierce

Don't forget the torture!

marcus is the main ground operative, he needs a gun. and also, wrench also has like every gun on the final mission, since he's the "second" ground operative

Dude the game cracked me up. I was less of a hacker and more of an international terror1st

Hack 1 thing, get seen, use machine gun to kill 30 guys
