Dying Light 2 - Story Explained

PLEASE NOTE... There are many things left unexplained in this video. Such as Hakon, the Bazaar and Survivors, etc. These will be covered in smaller videos in the near future. Just an example of how much this world contains in terms of lore!

I actually hate the gameplay aspect of DL2 but the story is unbeatable we need a DL3 or a revamp of DL1

No Aiden is Walt's son though

Itd be cool if aiden was cranes son i mean the timing kinda fits and it would be kinda cool playin as his son

I think Tahir was the bad guy in the first game. He’s not I. This one. It was just a generic bad guy wearing a mask in the tunnel at the beginning of the game.

In old villedor I gave the watertower to the PKs because I hated the survivors for the way they treated Aiden. But when I reached the central loop then I gave everything to the survivors there because I hated Jack Matt and thought that the butcher wasn’t the real enemy

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

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)

So why do manmade UV lamps work, yet the largest UV source we have, you know, THE SUN, does nothing? LOL! Bad writing.

honestly i feel like DL2 story is a weak sequel, wasted potential

When halon goes to save lawan why does hakon not join Aiden when leaving the city I don’t know if I forgot something or what

BRO I thought lawan would let me smash if I saved her.

This whole story is actually pretty interesting.
They just didn't use it in the right way

Wouldn't dying light the following would be number to it's like a sequel to the first one and this would be 3 I wanted to ask

One of my favorite parts of the original dying light was that it was a contained event. It made each location feel more impactful. Knowing that the entire world was gone in the second one just kinda sucked. Dying light was unique in that way.

i got all endings. but man did i ever hate siding with the PK's.

returning to the once thriving Bazaar only to find it run down hit me all too hard... i know they tried to hang me at one point, but then didn't deserve that.. fuck the PK's

While I enjoyed DL2 I have to say I hate one of the endings and some of the choices.

For example if you give the tower to Jack Matt and the PKs, despite having the ability to warn Jack Matt and tell him to use the broadcast system to warn the survivors of the incoming missile strike, Aiden doesn’t, so the Bazzar gets fucked up. Yet if you choose the Survivors Aiden will warn them. This is super annoying because despite being at odds at times the PKs do care about the well being of the people in the city. Not to mention they also go the Bazaar themselves.

The PK ending is also out of left field. While the PKs are authoritarian in the military sense, they care about the people in the city. The send out squads to help survivors, kill infected, protect settlements, etc. Hell many of them are ex-soldiers who turned on the military when they, the military, wanted to kill a whole bunch of civilians. By all accounts the PKs truly do care about the city and it’s people. They are strict, yes, but not overly so.

BUT in the ending they go full regime. You steal water? Whole family, dead. Food? Dead. Considering they control the city water and food shouldn’t be an issue. Yet when they didn’t control it the penalty for stealing was losing a hand. Brutal? Yes, but many steps better than killing an entire family.

So the PKs have been shown to be brutal and authoritarian, but also caring and considerate. But their ending just throws all the stuff away and makes em turbo assholes. It’s off putting and blind siding. Feels more like a punishment for choosing them than an actual ending. “Oh, you liked the PKs? Well you sided with ultra dickheads, gotcha!”

Imagine curing a virus with actual potential to end humanity.
Keep it in a lab instead of eradicating it, and mutating it to be uncure able, and then leak it.

I'm secretly hoping that Techland will be smart and give us quasi a second game like the following dubbed "Beyond the Walls". But since I found out that Dying Light 2 is by far not the game we all expected because it's a different team working on it than the one from Dying Light, I fear well just get a slew of thin dlcs.

Thank you so much for this! I am 19 hours into dl2 but haven't played it in months. Forgot most of the plot and didn't want to start again. This is just what I was looking for!

so, in a way, the colonel was kind of a good guy who went down the wrong path.

This is the first game I've played where I've skipped every dialogue, straight from the start until the end.

Should I trust the colonel or no I'm not too sure what's the best decision to make

Wait theres a story? I thought it was just a side quest simulator

That gre key was just like big game of hot potato. No one person had it for very long, but multiple people had it

Such a shame that i need to watch a video instead of playing the game, because how mediocre or even bad DL2 is. Yes, even after all the updates the game is far from what it could have been, instead is just another Ubisoft-like game filled with garbage content.

Well I miss Aidan 😮😢

I know it doesn’t make sense at all but I stand by the fact Kyle crane is aidens dad

I need to replay the whole game again cause i got the worst ending, but at least it's 30-40 hours well spent.

Wow mc with memory loss very original 😑

bruh how tf i can give full city to renegades?

I will save hakon when I play

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.

After playing this game for hours I had a crazy zombie nightmare just like the game with side characters that ended up dying 😂

How do people get lawan? Cause I got hakon to save Lawan but she never joined aiden in my game?

To anyone doing a first playthrough help the Peacekeepers

I never understood how Waltz thought bombing the central loop would help or accomplish anything. Alot of the story made absolutelyittle sense but what do I know. I'm just a gaming nerd v

At the end of the game the survivors controlled the city even tho i gave most of the power to the peacekeepers 😭😭

I'm really I love you hunny bog bunny 🐰 video please ❤😍😘 happy Valentine's day good night 🌙

He also leaves the city with hakon at the end of the game that was my most recent ending

I think techland got more hope at this point, of building a Time Machine, going back in time and never releasing this trash to its fans 🥹🤷‍♂️ but what do I know

I learned visual direction w/ Dying light UV lamps.

I love Dying Light and while I did like DL2 I couldn’t help feel a little disappointed, I feel like pretty much all the characters are underdeveloped and Waltz having superpowers was just really goofy

More like Barney was looking for crystal meth 😂

I wonder how many people are left in the world of dying light 2 because if the outbreak started in 2021 the population whould me 7.9 Of 8 billion
