You know what’s totally rad? Knowing someone involved in the production of this game.
I checked out the credits again for WDL and found two people who I know from my school program! 
One of my teachers from last year was one of the motion capture performers, and one of my teachers from this year was part of the voice cast.

Ah you sure they aren’t different people coincidentally having the same names? 
jk That sounds amazing! Maybe you get to know which cutscene or takedown animation they did, or hear a familar voice from a random citizen.
Just let us know one day when you get to perform in a videogame. I will definitely purchase it and have a look!

(Gah! Accidentally deleted the previous reply. It happens instantly for me!)
Yes, it’s the same people. They have pretty unique names. One of them even told us he got multiple voice-acting gigs thanks to Ubisoft giving him a 4-game contract – most likely because he was fluent in different dialects. (his very real IMDB page credits him with small roles from Splinter Cell: Blacklist to Watch Dogs: Legion)
Not sure I’d be able to recognize his voice though, since everyone in Legion speaks in British RP, Cockney, Irish, etc. Not Canadian English

We finally get to have a look at Wrench, too! He, unlike Aiden, doesn’t seem to get that older.

The story trailer is out now!

Seeing the plot be Aiden hunting down Wrench for a ransom is unexpected, but I’m very interested in how that’s going to play out! Can’t quite figure out what their skills might be from the trailer, but I hope they’re fun!
According to this entertaining recap, apparently this was shown before the Forward stream? Kinda makes me feel bad for the Toronto team.

Aha, it was indeed shown before the show kicked in. It actually saved me a lot of time to not watch the stream, though, since other games don’t interest me too much.
In fact, The Crew 2’s “another year of live service” trailer was also shown in the countdown section, some good cars and stuff were in there, but I just stopped to care about it ever since the never ending live service began.
Anyway, back to the topic, yeah I think it would work that Aiden and Wrench don’t team up with each other but were against each other, because they don’t seem to get along based on their personalities. Plus, it must be family again to force Aiden to work with enemies, just like the first WD. We will see how good the story is very soon, though!
There’s a sale on Legion 'til the end of the week on Epic; what I wanna know is… how does it compare to Watch_Dogs 2? 
I personally still prefer WD2, but these two differ from each other so much that compare them will be challenging. But I will think of them as:
-
In 2, you play as one protagonist, who has plenty of skills to develop. There are multiple ways to tackle enemy territories. The game allows more mischievous/destructive behaviors like forging evidences. Story is mostly light heart, different from its predecessor. Plenty of side activities to do. San Fran is a vibrant, colorful open-world environment.
-
In Legion, you play as many characters as you wish. They all have limited skills, so you can’t utilize all functions/techniques that the game offers with just one. Still, multiple ways of tackling territories, but this time the game has a more serious tone in both gameplay and story. Less side activities compared to 2. London is still very well crafted, but it’s a bit messy due to PMC taking over and futuristic settings.
Overall, it’s a very different experience. I’d say it’s worth a try with discount. Even if you find yourself not enjoying Play as Anyone, Bloodline is about to be released, which will allow you to play as Aiden from 1 again.
Hmm, probably won’t be buying DLC to be honest
Just want to get my money’s worth; if I spend $30 I want 30 hours of reasonable playtime
But I might Y0LO and get it

I got it for about 30% off and I’d say I got my money’s worth.
It feels less focused than previous WD titles and the main Play As Anyone can feel a bit under-cooked at times, but there’s fun to be had with it. The world is a unique place not many games use. Some of the story missions get pretty engaging and fun (at least for me) later on in your playthrough.
I’d say 30% off is a good starting price. Any lower and it’s even more worth it.
I’m not really interested in the DLC characters or Special Ops, just the Story Expansion and Wrench/Aiden. So I’ll try to pick up the Season Pass on a deep sale.

The interesting part is retroactively adding icon characters into the story mode. I’m gonna wait til bloodlines releases so I can simply play as aiden the whole duration of Legion.

Another sneak peak of Bloodline, this time with Aiden and Jackson Pearce. It’s short and has swear words censored, but it’s always nice to see more Aiden!

Watch Dogs Legion Online very fun got the season pass looking forward to new content updates and singleplayer DLC ofcourse 
Edit: I always buy Ultimate Edition that comes with a season pass

Good for you! With that, you get to enjoy everything the game has offered so far. 
I bought the Gold Edition last year, which excludes the three animal-themed premium operatives from the Ultimate Edition. I wasn’t interested in that particular DLC, but couldn’t resist Bloodline with Aiden and Wrench on the offer.
In fact, if I knew that the game would force any purchased DLC to be installed, I would just get the base edition with Bloodline. (FYI, the first 2 games allow you to freely install purchased DLC contents as you wish)
I don’t quite know how to use Mina the mind controller girl, nor interested in Assassin’s Creed crossover. Plus I have already owned WD1 the complete edition. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the game pretty much.

Less than a week to reach Bloodline’s release. A BTS video about Aiden and Wrench’s VAs has been released too!
Fun fact of the day: do you know Shawn Baichoo (Wrench’s VA) also appeared in WD1? He provided the voice of the tattoo guy, who met Aiden in the stadium basement at the start of the game.
This guy. The character’s name is Raul Lionzo. He was also the target of the prison mission in Chapter 1.
In other news, a little bit concerning about the DLC. It would appear that Aiden and Wrench as recruits for the main story won’t be part of the DLC, meaning they are sold as premium operatives separately. They will, however, be included in Season Pass along with Bloodline. We will know whether this is true or not very soon.

Both Aiden and Wrench are playable during Bloodline’s story, and with the Season Pass or an in-game purchase, they can be added to your DedSec Resistance in the main campaign or in the Online mode.
Confirmed.

Ah well, that’s kind of a shit move from Ubisoft, isn’t it? They really want to increase their microtransaction sale on this one.
Each also comes with new abilities: Aiden can aim in slow-mo after a takedown, gets a damage buff with a well-timed reload, or disable nearby electronics with a System Crash. Wrench – in addition to an MPX SMG and LTL grenade launcher, both with custom skins – carries a big custom hammer named Lady Smash, deploys mini flashbangs called Ninja Balls, and can summon a custom drone named Sergei.
Had I not purchased Season Pass, I may think only Aiden is worth a purchase with the unique revolver and returning ‘focus’ ability. Since I have, I will still play them both in campaign to not waste the money I spent.

Yeah seems a bit weird to release it like that, but at least it provides some options to people only interested in Bloodlines, Aiden and Wrench, instead of the rest of the Season Pass stuff with bonus missions and operatives. (Unless the cost of just those 3 things is greater than the Season Pass, then that’s super scummy.)
If Wrench and Aiden are available in the in-game shop like the other Season Pass operatives, then it’s possible to grind out the Online mode for free WD Points and get them for “free”. It’ll take a long time, but it could happen…
