Jackson Goes Into Aiden's Mind | Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline

[@W.2026]

The team who made this dlc should make the next watch dogs, all of it, and should be provided with whatever resources they need in order to do it.

[@joaocaff4143]

If the actual game was this DLC but bigger, i would buy it

[@pyroraptorarchitect]

I agree, I think the DLC's story is a lot better than the main story. This DLC shows that there are so much better things this game could do with the amount of content it has.

[@KingDaveth]

And they need to bring Aiden back, and make Jackson a playable character.

[@Hi12239]

The only watchdogs was part 1…

[@Jay_theartist19]

I feel like if they are the same people who made this deal say they should be the same ones who should bring back the original team of deadsec which are you know Marcus Josh T-Bone and sitara that way you have two more members like Aiden and Jackson and then what you can do is go back to your roots whether it's watch dogs 1 where's more grounded or watch dogs 2 basically make a game that actually is good and not just there for cash grab like Ubisoft does

[@DelosWX]

I love how horrifying this part was because Aiden's always been shown as that stone cold, guilt ridden vigilante, but now we get to ACTUALLY see it inside his head, see how much of a toll it's truly taken on him.

[@TheFox10101]

Stone cold people don’t feel guilt at all.

[@elesobrad1926]

@@TheFox10101 but he does

[@thatbloomer5642]

All the digital trips in WD1 is actually a representation of Aiden's psyche. In Alone for example, it's basically a representation of Aiden's guilt.

[@sd_justice_duty9564]

All Aiden ever wanted was to redeem himself, maybe he started it after Watch Dogs 1, and his road to that journey ended in Watch Dogs 3. Hopefully, he can see Nicky again.

[@Senku05]

Jesus dude, when I played this during the night I legit couldnt help but stay outside in the backyard during the Lena section. It really goes to show how much Lena has been haunting Aiden and I feel for him. It really puts WD1 into a whole added perspective.

[@dogestranding5047]

This DLC actually contradicts all of the WD1 character development, so it’s stupid. At the end of WD1, Aiden says “I don’t look back anymore. I don’t regret. I look forward. Everything is connected and I’ll use that to expose, to protect, and if necessary- to punish.” This DLC completely missed the point of the first game.

[@aoikazuya9037]

prbly as he gt older, the past cmes back to him more stronger

[@XaviarTheBoss]

@@dogestranding5047 Just because you move on from trauma doesn't mean it gets removed from your brain, it's still there just waiting to be brought out at some point. This may be that moment, as when you go into a trauma based incident or a coma state, your memories flood back, and since the Lena revenge period of his life took up roughly 5-7 years of his life, plus the coma period, that's probably why it was so prominent. Another piece of symbolism is the locked front door, meaning that to access the memory you needed to find another way in

[@goldonawheelchair6582]

​@@XaviarTheBoss basically the memory was supressed and sealed

[@zacariascisneros6399]

*Dead Space flashbacks*

[@PeninsulaCity2024]

So that one digital trip was not lying... Adien's words to Wrench when he came to retrieve the Bridge from him starts to make sense when you take it all in.

[@dogestranding5047]

Which digital trip? It’s crazy how many great things they got rid of from WD1.

[@PeninsulaCity2024]

That would be the Alone digital trip. Now that I have played Bloodlines, I can't help but notice how said digital trip was almost a foreshadow of this expansion - Aiden is tormented by Lena's death, believes that his sister Nicky is still mad at him for it, and feels he needs to be punished for his actions while fighting off robots on the surface.

[@chrd]

This has to be the most nostalgic and scary watch dogs mission. Never knew that Aidens mind was that haunted. R.I.P. to The Fox

Hearing Lena singing that It's haunting and sends a chill on my spine Seeing how much it haunted Aiden

[@leaplaygames]

yeah but i rly wish there were vid with the full song

[@vonmillardmanalastas7524]

I gotta say:Both the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song and the section right before the stairs that leads to the Crash Site makes you feel like that when Aiden’s absolutely by himself, said parts, alongside the moment of Lena’s death, would make him cry, in such a way, that sobbing would be very soft, meanwhile, his tears are basically Niagra Falls (sorry for the joke, if it seemed inappropiate to the circumstances), and regarding the section prior to the stairs, that laugh is so tragic (more so than haunting), that if I listened to it any longer, I might have legitimately cried

[@hiddenghost5903]

When you reach the Lena haunting in Aiden’s Coma I wasn’t expecting the P.T. Easter egg. 😮

[@RamazanKaisar]

[@worm5arecool]

I have yet to play WD1, and I'm currently playing Bloodline, after doing like half of a missions in the actual campaign. THIS part was by far the scariest in the game so far. Props to whoever made this happen. Took me through a trip, and then the 'never-ending' hallway part they had was really really cool. Edit: Just, a very surreal, added visualizer.

[@anthonyweber4986]

Man, I played wd1 years ago and everything from Aiden's story combined to cold environment of the game was just perfect. Bloodline does an okay job with his character but personally you just have to pay wd1

[@forge4119]

So, what happened to Aiden after this? I mean we saw him 'bury the Vigilante', but he is still helping Dedsec afterwords, especially if you don't do the side missions. I really want an explanation of why after Jackson basically helped Aiden get closure, Aiden still is willing to kill and do all the stuff like nothing happened.

[@chrisbailet8940]

Maybe helping dedsec in London is Aiden's 'one last job'?

[@dr9871]

[@ayansen2367]

This was so emotional

[@twinswords79dualblade84]

I would say that…me personally. Aiden DID bury “The Chicago Vigilante”. He’s not that guy anymore. Him helping DEDSEC in Legion? (I do think him helping them is canon) That’s him opening up to being a part of a team, to surround himself with people he now cares about, along with him being fine with taking a backseat to some of the action. He’s no longer The Fox, he’s now just Aiden Pearce, someone who’s isn’t fighting for himself and killing people out of revenge anymore. Now, he’s only fighting for the people. In Legion, despite Bagley saying “The Fox” is here when Aiden’s unlocked, that’s the only mention we hear about it. Everyone, including the bosses, call him DEDSEC, just like everyone else. Aiden Pearce is now a member of DEDSEC and protector of the people. Hell, we even see him SMILING more! This is the most emotion we’ve ever seen out of Aiden. Bloodline told him that he’s done being The Fox and being known ONLY as The Fox and to stop torturing himself over the past. All Jackson wants Aiden to do is just be there more often and to let go of Lena’s death. Which he did, he’s now only fighting for the people and he’s finally proud of himself. That right there, is perfect for Aiden’s character.

[@Ellie_8087]

Aiden left a train of dead bodies across Chicago to punish everyone responsible for Lena's death. But the one person he blames the most, he punishes every day sense the day she dies and thats himself. He was the one driving the car. It was his actions that caused that man to try to kill him while they were in the car. It's easy to believe that if it weren't for him, Lena would still be alive.

[@senatorarmstrong8960]

10:01 Jesus christ, it wasn’t scary but deeply disturbing. Then realizing that the voice message was left for Aiden not Jacks, because as we learn throughout this mission, Aiden is torturing himself using Lena. Meaning I bet he’s heard that Voice message before and its just replaying in his head, god it gets more fucked the more I think about it.

[@tycemo707YT]

I really hope in watchdogs four they try to tie more story into it with aiden, nicky, and jacks with jacks as the main protagonist trying to get help from aiden and nickys disapproval but she knows she cant stop him and then have a good villain thats connected to wd1 like damien had a secret son with his divorce (if you profile him in wd1 it says divorced so he could have a son out there tryna control ctOS)
