![]() Of the powers available, I tended to favor the neon abilities. So if Delsin has video powers at the moment, he could sap a neon sign to switch to neon, or drain a chimney for smoke. Though players are initially “locked” into a new power shortly after they gain it, as a means of tutorial, they’re eventually able to swap between powers by draining more of it from a source. During the opening skirmish, he gains the smoke manipulation ability from Hank, one of the three escaped Conduits, and eventually is able to manipulate neon and video as well. His Conduit ability is that he can absorb the powers of any Prime Conduit, of which he encounters four throughout the course of the game. Given that Delsin is such a blank slate, morally, it’s only fitting that he’s also a blank slate in terms of powers. Delsin truly feels like he could go either way, and I feel like when I make decisions, I’m doing what I would do in every situation. When I made decisions in inFamous or inFamous 2, I’d sometimes wonder what Cole would do. For some reason, despite playing both sides of his story, he always seemed to strike me as more innately good. Though there was always a decision with Cole, I never really got a “villain” vibe off of him. Delsin is a smart aleck with a mouth, and a past that could make him a hero as easily as it could a villain. It’s this start and Delsin’s characterization that makes the moral designs and repercussions in the game most interesting. So, Delsin and Reggie head up to Seattle to face Augustine and make things right. The Akomish attacked by Augustine can only have the concrete removed by a concrete Conduit. Either way, Augustine doesn’t like what she hears, and uses her abilities on him and other members of the tribe. Delsin can turn himself in, or lie and let his tribe take the punishment. He succeeds, but the three come outside to see the DUP and it’s head, concrete Conduit Augustine, waiting outside. Delsin chases him inside, in hopes of protecting Betty from him. Hank runs off as he attempts to escape, and locks himself inside the cannery. One who drains powers from other Conduits. No good deed goes unpunished, though, as his kind action results in the revelation that Delsin is a Conduit. Delsin pulls one of the victims, a Conduit named Hank, out of the crash. He never gets the lecture he deserves, though, because it’s then that an armored car from the Department of Unified Protection carrying three known bio-terrorists (Conduits) crashes. However, before he can get inside, Reggie catches him. He then races to the nearby Longhouse, where members of the Akomish tribe are gathering for fun and festivities, as a cover. There he encounters Betty, a kind older woman and member of the tribe who agrees to cover for him. Of course, the cops come, and Delsin needs to make a getaway and stows inside. Don’t get too upset, as it’s one promoting his older brother, Sheriff Reggie Rowe. Delsin Rowe is vandalizing a billboard on top of a fish cannery. InFamous: Second Son starts innocently enough. inFamous: Second Son is everything I’d hoped it would be. I cautiously hoped for the best, but now realize I didn’t have to worry. Sony and Sucker Punch made it sound like everything I’d wanted-a new inFamous in a gorgeous, detailed work, with a variety of powers, new moral choices, and my voice actor crush, Troy Baker. But the more pressing one, the one that spurred a desire for a launch unit, was inFamous: Second Son. The first is because I want to livestream my eventual crusade and inevitable Dragon Age: Inquisition love affair. #Infamous second son paper trail rewards Ps4When the PS4 was first announced, there were two reasons I wanted one. ![]()
