The Division 1 and 2 FULL STORY

A justifiable reason of why sanitation workers of NYC became Cleaners and First wave agents like Keener turned rogue but the person who gave the order to the JTF pulling back from the quarantine centre was President Ellis, which he became a traitor later on.

People compare COVID to Dying Light 2 while The Division story is literally closely similar to COVID. Such an underrated franchise that is under the radar of the gaming audience, until Ubisoft gave the franchise a chance. :)

[@noirto2]

Can't exactly call a hellscape of armed nutjob running the cities an accurate assessment of current world situation.

[@xaptor8685]

@@noirto2 the division is pretty much a worse version of reality leading up to a mid crisis or the end of the world. I mean in the early story of division is definitely similar to how COVID in early 2020, especially the first cinematic opening of division 1. There’s some moments in the first cinematic that people said it didn’t age well. The difference from reality and the division is covid is just a natural virus while the green poison is a engineered virus created by a mad virologist that wants to wipe most of humanity because of greed or the handling of the environment nowadays.

[@xaptor8685]

@Bruce Walker I watched multiple lab theory vids recently, but I’m still not sure if it’s true. If that’s the case, then there is a grim and terrifying possibility that the division universe could happen irl. Covid is just one natural virus and it caused chaos in the world already, but if it was a virologist who is mad enough to make a super virus combining all virus genes (which idk if that’s possible), then we’re pretty much fucked. Basically the next Black Death but the end of the world if possible. I think Trick Dempsey (who is the story writer in the division) is trying to tell us something this whole time..

[@Crimsonium]

Gosh, there is sooooo much potential for the storyline. One can dream of a The Division 3, 4 etc!

[@edsonpacheco294]

But where do we go from Killing Keener and Lau?

[@Crimsonium]

@@edsonpacheco294 Ahh definitely the origins of Natalya Sokolova. But I'm going to assume there will be a lot to uncover before we even get to her. What about the anti-virals? How do we survive being rogue? How do we turn things around? Just surviving and uncovering what's happening with Lau is easily one big DLC.

[@Nukejawsgaming]

@@Crimsonium who knows, perhaps once the black tusk and Sokolova are dealt with, the SHD shifts focus back to fully working on their original mission, hell i just wanna know who's acting president with Whats his name dead by Lau's hand...

[@neofulcrum5013]

If they ever visit Los Angeles, I wonder what new enemies we could see. I came up with three hostile factions and 1 friendly faction in my free time. 1) Highway Kings: a confederation of multiple armed biker gangs led by rogue agents with the goal of carving out their own outlaw country. Largest of the factions. 2) New Horizon: an extremist group believing it was time to establish a new system based on their beliefs. Second largest due to forced conscription of the populace. 3) The Judges: an organization of ex jtf, police officers, veterans, firemen etc with the goal to return order by any means. Inhumane or not. While not the largest, they’re disciplined and coordinated. Friendly Faction: National Guard remnant. A handful of National Guard servicemen who hold the line in certain locations to defend the civilians in their care. As was their duty. The smallest of the factions. Unable to launch any offensives due to their manpower. But hold the most ammunition and weapons to fend off the larger factions attacks.

[@Crimsonium]

@@neofulcrum5013 WOH! Ok that's quite a lot of ideas but definitely! There is so much. One can imagine something like The Walking Dead where there's an overall story but there's mini stories along the way. Well in a sense. Sure, eventually the ideas will run out and there will be an end but that's after The Division 10. ;-)

[@JacobA6464]

I think the really terrifying part is the small details put in that you can make into even smaller stories. For example, you can find a stuffed bunny in a locker down in the Metro Tunnels in DC. Maybe this was a bunny some worker bought for his son/daughter, but they never got to give it to them. As a family person, thats the kind of shit that makes me feel.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Same. It broke my heart, so to say, when I saw the shrine Emeline Shaw made for her daughter, then watching all the in game footage of why she was doing what she did. I mean as a father I can feel her pain and think maybe if I was out in that situation and that happened to my child I would do the same.

[@MIronLance]

The one that made me stop playing the game for almost 6 months was finding the echo of the little girl playing with her dolls in her room. The mother was 'sleeping', but ISAC scan shows she had died from flu complications. No body of the little girl....

The Division Series strikes closer to home for me, now more than ever because it takes place in our home, in present day, with a real-world scenario that makes it almost scary.

What's interesting is that at 14:34 we see all these cities come back online and as a Floridian I noticed Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami are main cities in Florida. Meaning that there's so much potential for Agents to be embedded in towns like mine that are 45 mins away from Orlando. Oh my the cosplay potential Lol

[@cubankid1959]

The Division: Florida. Honestly it would be a breath of fresh air focusing a open world game on a larger setting like Jacksonville or Orlando, less vertical traveling and more walking and seeing new environments and people. Mainly because Florida has one of the highest immigrant populations in the country so the chance of new factions popping up would be fascinating from a game play perspective

I quite pity the 1st wave Division agents and that the 2nd wave is the hope of the SHD to right the wrongs the government left behind.
