There’s seemingly no risk to recruiting people at random everyone on the street is ready to fight, apparently. As a member of the resistance, you’re supposed to be low-key, so some nuance in these conversations is desperately needed. You can’t just run up to people on the street and tell them you’re a part of a secret underground resistance group of hackers. You can play as anyone because you can recruit damn-near everyone, so every recruitment should be unique, subtle and made with major discretion. But this ultimately takes away from what makes the game so unique. It’s like the developers attempted to speed up the process of recruiting people by making it so recruits are well-informed. Yes, Watch Dogs: Legion is a game, but it’s supposed to be a narrative experience with characters that feel real. Recruit: “Hey, you’re DedSec? Do something for me and I’ll join up.”
