The story is super short. Hoping the dlc delivers because after TL made a come back in the last few months they seemed to have dropped the ball again w their newest partnership. Btw love your channel!

You forgot that the walls weren't built to keep the infected out at all, villedor was one of the first cities with outbreaks so the gre and the military built huge walls around the city to keep infected and people in quarantine. The funny thing is, the outbreak in the rest of the world became worse than the one in villedor and the walls ended up keeping the hoards out of the city, thus huge amounts of refugees made their way into the city. This initial quarantine is also why the majority of the villedor citizens are actually infected, and why everyone has biomarkers. This is also why there are so many gre labs and facilities in the city as they tried to use the first city outbreak to try and create a cure. Another interesting thing is that there are many times in the game where it is implied that many other cities were also quarantined with this walls, yet they either fell or haven't been heard from.

@@Lonkshi21 straight up nothing to do with Aiden. If I was in there position I would hang him too. Only the player knows he can return from turning. It’s that they make the characters in the bazaar so unlikeable and their actions never make sense. Sophie for example. She is in charge of protecting the people of the bazaar and yet she says the most stupid of things have ever heard and actively puts the bazaar in danger. She has somebody who has no connection to any faction and instead of using him as a bridge between the bazaar and the PK she instead ignores when he says the PK don’t want to fight and says to Aiden that nobody can be neutral. BITCH YES HE CAN. He has no connection to the PK and all you have done is be aggressive and her brother omg Barney has to be the most annoying character right beside Jack Matt. He is needlessly aggressive, confrontational and unreasonable and actively does shitty things like using his dying friend as bait because he doesn’t trust Aiden a character he has seen before and helped the bazaar. The PK outside of the central loop are 100x better than the bazaar as they are reasonable and understanding. They only get shitty once in the central loop because of the worst leader ever Jack Matt. The only way I ever help the bazaar and not the PK is because I want to make out the survivor faction aka the nightrunners and you get to save Aitor

Tbh, I don't really like any of these endings. To me, it's just a downwards spiral from "not bad, but not great" to "We're fucked". The Survivors ending is just that the Free Folk are in charge and that the Night Runners are back in force, but we don't see how any of this really affects the City. All you get is "Hey we got a soup kitchen, also some people died last night." Nothing really happens here, which is really the only thing that makes this the "good" ending. The Peace Keeper Ending is that they have turned Villador into a totalitarian police state, where crime is punishable by death for the perpetrator and their family. Which obviously makes this a fairly bad ending. Renegade Ending is kinda the same except that Juan and Williams are in charge, and that far more people seem to die. And of course the X13 Missile Ending is the worse for obvious reasons. The problem with these endings is that there isn't enough information to go off of. You only get a few snipets of information that don't paint a clear picture. Like, the least they could've done was say that each of the Factions handled problems in their own way. Here's some examples: Free Folk: the Leaders of Villador form a council where representatives of the Bazaar, Night Runners, PKs, and maybe even Renegades, work together on major issues that affect all of them. However, all Factions are free to do what they want, as long as they don't threaten or harm the others. They could've also add in that fewer people are killed by the infected at Night, thanks to the efforts of the Night Runners. PK Ending: The PKs turn Villador into a stratocracy, where everyone works hard to ensure law and order are upheld and the City becomes more akin to a Fortress. The rules are still harsh, but bandits are no longer an issue, and even some Dark Zones have been cleared out, making the City safer at night. Jack Matt is idolized and revered as a great man in PK propaganda, and citizens are expected to give there lives for the New Order. But, hey. I'm not a story writer. I just think that there should at least be more context in these endings so we fully understand what our choices have led to.

You know this is a complaint that I have with a lot of story oriented games like this such as "Fallout, outer wilds, etc." Where they only give you bad or extreme choices for factions to side with, which harms the story since is there is nothing interesting about choosing the lesser of 2 evils. It turns the story into a slog that you just can't stand to listen to. I hate having to choose between one faction that is either completely inept at achieving their goals or another faction that goes too far and borders on becoming a totalitarian police state like the PK's.

Few things: 1) Harran and DL1 didn't happen in 2015. It happened in Spring of 2014 1:00 2) Lucas was just a commander, not THE leader. That's why Aitor takes his position. Jack Matt is the leader. 3:33 3) This decision doesn't change much at all. It only changes what you see in that specific quest itself and who guides you through the water tower. What REALLY changes things is who you give the water tower to. You can choose Aitor, but still give the tower to the Survivors and vise versa. 6:00 4) It's population pre outbreak was 4 million. We know this because people both say half of Villedor died and 2 million people died in Black Monday. 13:36 5) also it's more likely that Peacekeepers weren't disguised as Renegades as they're loyal to the cause. Prisoners or Bandits were probably used as an excuse while being given weapons and told to shoot frank in exchange for money or freedom. But...of course... you always do a great job with the lore with only minor discrepancies. Keep up the great work Harry! Did OniZombies contact you?

Thanks! But I’d like to rebut a couple of things. 1) No one really knows EXACTLY when the Harran Outbreak started. Even Techland don’t seem to know 😂 they state on their own ‘which monster are you?’ site that the Harran Outbreak took place in 2013! And then in Nightmare Row it places the Harran Games as taking place in 2015! Some people say 2014. Who knows! 2) Yeah Lucas wasn’t THE leader but he was leader of the Peacekeepers in Old Villedor, whilst Jack Matt was their main leader. A commander is technically still a leader. 3) I never said it changes much, but it does potentially send you down two possible routes which lead to the same destination (a central narrative if you will). I guess I was wrong in my timing as the main choice comes in terms of who you choose to believe when you find the skin in Barney’s room. This determines whether the PK are hostile towards you in the tunnel where you meet Waltz. 4) That would mean there are still around 2,000,000 people living in Villedor at the time of the game. There are definitely NOT 2,000,000 people in Villedor. I believe they say ‘half the city was bombed’, not half the population was killed. 5) Lawan tells you on the radio when in Williams’ base that they were Peacekeepers disguised as Renegades. There would have been people loyal to Matt higher up in the PK But thanks for your comment! No, not been in contact yet.

It did happen in Spring 2014, but I think he was referring to the events of DL1, not the initial outbreak and he wasn't explicitly saying so. Whether 2015 or 2014, if I recall correctly, there was something about the game prior to release that the events of DL1 take place 3 or 6 months after the initial outbreak but whether that's true or not will likely remain unknown. So if it's in 2014, it would have to be Summer or Early Fall, which would put it close to 2015 at least. DL2 in some fashion seemed to imply that Harran was still infested even years after the events as it was considered an exclusion zone in 2015 which is shown on a Newspaper you can find, which is likely why our guy here was thinking 2015 as the 1st game's year. It's certainly possible. We could say it's either Summer/Fall 2014 or Spring/Summer 2015.

@@GamingHarryYT I'll rebut. 1) We know for a fact that Dying Light 2, the main source for info, has a History Quiz side quest that asks "When was the Harran Outbreak" and the answer is Spring 2014. But yes Techland is very inconsistent. 2) You right. 3) You right. 4) Not necessarily true. Black Monday created a ton of infected and killed many people. We hear in game through sound effects and random encounters that dozens upon dozens of people die every day and night. That was In 2025. It's been 11 years. A lot of people can die in that time. Especially when the military was ousted during The Revolution/Civil War in 2025. Plus you know that Carl said in his tapes that he specifically says half of the people died. 2 million. 5) You right. I didn't get that dialog my first 2 playthroughs. Again. I really appreciate your content. You're one of my favorite creators by far.

I'm not sure if has already been discussed or not, but what if the virus in Dying Light 2 is sort of, I guess you could say different strain than the virus that was based in Harran. Remember at the end of The Following DLC in DL1, Kyle is forced to drink the blue liquid by the mother. Him already being infected and the effects of the blue liquid may have had reactions with each other and the properties of the mother, because she had ingested the blue liquid too (like her being sentient in the daytime and not being able to control the nature of the volatile at night.), so that gives us some idea of light coming into play with the new strain that Kyle Crane introduced into the uninfected world. Like sunlight and UV light have to do with how long it takes to turn if you're already infected in DL2 because the darkness makes the virus take effect very quickly. So what if Kyle drinking that liquid and already being infected created a different strain of the virus than the one in Harran and that's why it's much much different compared to DL1's Harran virus. Thanks for reading this, I was just watching the video and I had a random thought all of a sudden. Maybe I should've gone into more detail but I tried my best to explain with most of the stuff I recalled from the first game lmao

DLC Suggestion: Dying Light 2 Reawakening Plot: 25 years after the Harran Virus Outbreak, Kyle Crane was in a state of stasis, having him nested on one of the Volatiles' Nests and is now partially one of them. This time is different, he regains his humanity and seemed to be half volatile and human. Main missions: 1. Escape the volatile nest - after awakening inside a torn down flesh pod, Kyle Crane survives and naked. He is now trying to escape the nest. This is where something happens to him. He has the abilities of the special infected, and seemed be highly dangerous than he thought about. After escaping the nest, he went for a hundred kilometer walk, eventually getting saved by a survivors. Skill Tree Unlocked The new Skill Tree has something to do with his Agility, Power, and the new one, Mutation. Agility is based on the speed, stamina, and parkour tp maintain the balance of sneak, evasion, and escape. Power is based on combat mechanism, executions, highly dangerous tactics, and also craftsmanship. The new skill tree is Mutation. This is based on his new found powers, as a demi-mutated volatile. Under the sun, he will receive a massive weakpoint due to him being half volatile . But at night or out of the sunlight or UV light, he awakens his new found powers. Mainly, the powers of the new special infected. This also gives him the option to consume them in order to upgrade his ability or their abilities to become his own. 2. Night Runners - after he was rescued by an old couple, they told hm about the new safehaven on Earth known as New Villador. When Kyle asked about what happened to Harran, they were surprised that it has been 25 years sinve the first outbreak. Everything comes clear when they told him everything. It seemed that Kyle Crane was in a comatose state for the past 25 years. Because of this encounter, they were in a verge of being outrun by the new volatiles that seemed like virals, they are being called as Night Hunters. The old woman was torn into pieces, causing the old man to her rescue but fails. This made Kyle Crane bursts in a fit of rage, unlocking his volatile state, the same aspect of Aiden and Waltz, but his is similar to the full transformation of Waltz as a half volatile, causing destruction against the Night Hunters. After that, the sun rises and reverts hum back to his old self again, and travels lightly in dark places or caves so that he can run faster with his half volatile state, to the New Villador. He is welcomed by one of the Night Runners, and consults him to use an inhibitor. When he asoed about suppressant, he was laughed at since it has been decades since they all ceased to exist due to the new mutation. As soon as he took one of the inhibitors, it caused a side effect into him, having him forcefully turn into a volatile. He is soon hunted by the Night Runners but desperately escaped on the sewers where he recovers and seemingly found his way to the Bazaar, where he is greeted by the new leader, Kinai. 3. Reparation - he introduces himself as Kyle Crane and the bar owner scoffs at him. Kinai is also a Night Runner and also a Pilgrim. He actually knows a man thesame name as Kyle but he don't know who he really is since he was still young back then. When he was informed about the new safehaven city ran by Night Runners, he went in as one of the night guardians of the city, giving him a feat and hailed as a shadow leader of the Bazaar. He got bummed because the tasks are really hard, concerning about fixing windmills, an old sewage, and the broken dam. Kyle is up for the task, and finished these insane tasks that gave him more upgrades to his abilitiew, giving him his old kick back to his senses. Kinai welcomes him like a brother, and during their celebration, the night runner who has seen Kyle's face came upon the party, turning out to be Kinai's elder brother, Ricco. Kyle is captured. 4. The Truth - Kyle is taken to an abandoned building only known or reffered to as the Dome, and seemed to be infested with volatiles. Ricco ran a test of Kyle's abilities and have him fight for his life. After defeating countless of specials, Ricco deemed him worthy enough to be tasked on a very dangerous mission in order to gain his and the night runners' trust for good. 5. Drowned - Ricco tasks Kyle to take down a new nest known only as Drowned. These are specials that lives on the chemically mutated waters on the Flooded Area. There are 6 buildings infected of them, and 3 sewage tunnels infested of them. The task is simple, destroy the nests and gain thei utmost trust, even hiding the fact he resembles a volatile when inject with an inhibitor. This just means he is more of a weapon than a human or viral. And so, Kyle managed to do the insanely dangerous tasks and gains the trust of Ricco who just contacted of Spike, about Kyle Crane. Turns out that Ricco knew all along who Kyle Crane was because he was one of the kids of the Old Bazaar from Harran, who knows Crane as the hero of Harran and a respected Night Runner. The only thing is, Crane's appearance never changed one bit. 6. Remnants - Spike was about to meet Kyle Crane but he contacts Ricco 3 nights later, telling him that he is being hunted by the Remnants, the new renegade grouo causing mayhem within the city. Kyle went onto his rescue, only to save him using his volatile form. Spike was mad and even scared of him. Eventually, he accepted it and asks Kype what happened to him, and was replied about being awakened in a volatile nest. After killing a volatile woman known as the Mother, he went black out and next thing he knows is the nest he awakened from. Spike is still grateful that he survived but then, Ricco informs the night runners about an ambush of the Remnants. During the battle, it turns out that Ricco was the spy and the main leader of te Remnants, as he kills his brother Kinai. Kyle is captured and has nothing to do since if he transforms now, he will be deemed as a volatile than a human. 7. Choice: A. Become Human - transform into a volatile to save Spike and the night runners. This will be lcome influential that new characters will be known in the game, including GRE spies, the United Nations spies, and other tasks concerning the possibility of getting fame as the hero of New Villador. B. Become A Hunter - transform and kill Ricco and the remnants. With this, Spike will lose trust of Kyle Crane and will be hunted down as a Daywalker, a volatile that can walk under the sun. There are far less missions but very dangerous. The is also a possibility that Spike will forgive Kyle Crane and him leaving the city for good. C. Become A Monster - do nothing and be captured by Ricco, to cover up your secret. Ricco will order his men to kill the night runners, but they wipl escape with Spike's help but he will lose his eye in the process. Kyle Crane is now living inside the Dome as a Champion. After so many battles in the Dome, he later soon to change as a new powrful volatile. After one of the breaches led by Spike with the night runners, they will breakfree the Kyle's collar and take down Ricco and his men. Also, Spike will meet his end from Kyle's grasps. After regining his consciousness, Kyle becomes broken and leaves the city in ruins and evactuation is eminent because of virals breaching the city in large swarms.

But, i played the game in February (hated it, huge fan on DL1 and The Following) and i've decided to try DL2 again a week ago and jesus, the game is so much better atm. I believe it will improve even more. Great video!

The hatred/fear of Pilgrims is so confusing to me. Here are people who willingly travel across dangerous, open land delivering messages/information from settlement to settlement but because they might have to kill other humans (definitely not something that people are doing inside of Villedor 🙄) they're hate and feared.

There are several reasons to come up : 1) the common are jealous over Pilgrim's survivability 2) it's human's nature to be affraid of stranger outside from our community. 3) we have a suspicion of something different or unknown We don't know the Pilgrim could work as spy to other hostile or they are being infected to bring disease. 4) since the Pilgrims are used to living outside the community without being bound by your rules they can be considered a danger to the entire community.

In a nutshell, one superhuman nomad helps a lot of people so they can help him find his sister who is only known by one GRE scientist named Waltz

I'm not into dying light (not my type of game) but the story looks really interesting thanks for the video 😁

Aidan being born in 2013 is so funny to me for some reason like I’m older than this man

I love how you have to search for what happened thru tapes and documents. I love this trend inin gaming. Really fleshed out what i thought was a shallow game

I gave every zone to PK but ended up with Survivor banners in the cutscene lol maybe the choices are what truly matter in key points.

@7:16 The sniper escapes, after giving Aiden a threating "I'll be watching you" gesture.

After playing the game. I can safely say that there is a noticeable shift after the vnc tower missions in terms of writing, the way story missions are constructed. Post vnc tower felt like the original dying light while pre vnc felt like something else. It is also noticeable that they way the story works does not make much sense. I mean as bad as Dying Light 1 in terms of story telling, it felt like a Dead Island game, sprinkled with parkour. Dying Light 2 felt like Far Cry: New Dawn with zombies. I am very sure early in development they wanted to make something like Renegades vs PK vs survivors. This is apparent when upon entering the Renegades HQ, they showed us children playing, basically showing that maybe the Renegades aren't so bad after all. Then again they were full of Renegades psychos within the game which doesn't make sense other than Waltz took control of them. Not to mention the continuos Book searching 1- 10 and zombies killing. I don't remember much memorable place in Dying 2 eventhough they tried to implement it. Dead Island did it better for me tbh. Overall, other than the better parkour which is also debatable, even combat is significantly worse than Dead Island. Techlands seem to revert backwards. Here's hopinh Dying Light 3 will do better

Went from one of the best games I've ever played with DL1 to something as goofy as this. Not often do I regret buying a game but I have Dying Light 2 on disk forever now and idk if i can live that down.

I haven't continued the search for my sister in a LONG while.....too many side quests and shit to farm....LOL

Thats good tho you dont want to rush through main story that fast otherwise some of the side quest that u unlocked will disappear and you wont ever get the chance to do some of the side quests again if u just focused on main story missions, its good to take your time with the story and explore and do heaps of side missions along the way

Aye another banger

thank you for saving me from buying this game. 2:02 We got a superhero.... The best thing in first gme was the semi real zombie apocalypse: Lots of zombies, the biggest monster is another human, parkour!. Overall video nice! thumbs up

It honestly sucks that there's nothing you can do to save Mia, because no matter what ending you choose, she dies anyways.

I Lawan as the nightrunner and got her in the ending when I beat the game for the first time and it was the day before they changed the ending scene

Yeah. During my NG+ I slaughtered the PKs

Spoilers: Am I the only one who really finds all endings to be really bad? Like all that work to save Mia just for her to die anyway, and Aiden leaving with Hakkon or Lawan? Throughout the entire story I really didn't care about anyone but Mia. I didn't care with whom I sided as long as I can get to Mia. She dies anyways so what's the point? DY2 failed to get me emotionally attached to any character other than Mia since she is the main reason why Aiden is doing all of this to begin with. Even with all that, they ruined the "Brother/Sister" when she turned out to be not really our sister and she is Waltz daughter???? Bruh....what a HUGE disappointment. I thought to myself, maybe Waltz was trying to make more advanced and powerful humans that can withstand the virus and become almost supernatural in a way that the infected are no longer a threat. It would be a lot more stratifying if Mia herself had some sort of immunity that made us reach to the cure and save everyone, but no the city will either get controlled by 1 of the 3 factions each with their own flaws or get fully destroyed . I am disappointed but I have to say that the coolest moment in the game was when Aiden turned for the first time. It got boring and repetitive after the 4th time though . I wish this type of gameplay was on focused more.

Maybe the uv lamps present in the game are specifically made to combat the virus, as the installations where you find the lamps in Juan’s quest were stored in a quarantine zone, and they would know about how us effects zombies from Harran

I loved everything about this game except the ending. My god the final 16 rounds of fighting waltz was fucking stupid. However the game play is fun as hell…. Also your videos are amazing bro!

What is the music at the beginning of the video called?

Dying Light 2's biggest problem was that every option you got felt stupid, and everyone was easy to hate. I had to check the outcomes for the radio tower choice to make sure I got the best options since I didn't want to give it to either of the factions. They were all so unlikable and none of them made any good points to me. I think I went with the nightrunners because they had abilities that weren't all about combat which the PKs were (also its weird a game which doesn't really want you to fight gives you fighting abilities)

I love it

Rowe had to be the most real pk in the whole story. A unit, and a best friend till the near end. 😭 😭 😭 he should've gotten more screen time

Use upgraded uv bars. Start off by taking on the GRE monsters at night. Find a windmill nearby the gre monster sites and unlock that so you have a place to go to after killing them. I got so many inhibitors before actually hitting the gre hospitals with upgraded weapons, the uv bars, grenades and molotovs even. Definitely helps when going into the hospitals then.
