Second Son is broken down into story missions which are very clearly marked on your phone’s mini map. inFamous Second Son’s sandbox version of Seattle is broken into several districts, each under strict control by the DUP as they attempt to round up the remainder of the conduits in the area. I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Seattle, but seeing the in-game Space Needle up close and of course the damp weather, Starbucks-style coffee shops on every corner and skinny jeans-wearing residents all over the place, I can only assume that it’s a fairly accurate (and incredibly attractive) depiction of the city. In conjunction with his new superhuman abilities, he can run or fly, over or through obstacles, and clear across each district, with lightning speed. Traversal is something you’ll do a lot of as Delsin… he’s quick and nimble, and can climb damn near anything in the city. Forget cars, planes or public transportation, his preferred form of travel around the area is either on foot or by utilizing his traversal abilities. Second Son’s virtual recreation of Seattle is a playground for Delsin’s abilities, first and foremost. If you’re expecting a massive, varied Grand Theft Auto V map, or realistic traffic patterns and vehicles, don’t.
InFamous Second Son is most definitely an inFamous game through and through, which makes it a super power-infused action adventure game at heart. It’s at that point where Delsin strategizes with his brother Reggie to unravel the DUP’s grip from the city and take down the agency’s director.
Delsin is not a “normal” conduit however, and once the DUP catches wind of that, they attempt to harm his family which motivates him to strike back and take down the organization’s leader. After the DUP descends on the Akomish tribe’s town to track down the escapees, Delsin unwittingly gets drawn into the scuffle and discovers that he too has abilities. When a DUP transport vehicle crashes and several “bio-terrorists” escape custody, Delsin attempts to lend a hand to a seemingly injured conduit near the site. It doesn’t factor heavily into the game’s overarching plot, but Delsin and his family are Akomish, which is a fictional Native American tribe whom has settled in a district just outside of Seattle. As you would expect from any self-respecting rebel, he doesn’t seem to care what anyone thinks, and even goes as far as defacing his sibling’s own billboards and getting busted for it. Needless to say, the (ironically super power-infused) DUP force and their director Brooke Augustine have been super aggressive at reigning in anyone they suspect may have even the slightest bit of power.ĭelsin Rowe is a twenty-something graffiti artist and seemingly professional slacker who can’t quite live up to his bigger brother’s status as a high ranking local police officer. With many conduits (humans with abilities) wiped out or in hiding after what went down in the second game, the government put together the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) to further contain the remaining population of these “bio-terrorists”.
InFamous Second Son takes place around 7 years after the events which unfolded in inFamous 2’s “good ending” and is set in Seattle, Washington. Whether he uses these powers for good or evil is up to you, but in either instance he seems to fully take ownership of his superhuman abilities and makes the best of them. Compared to Cole MacGrath, the somewhat sulky protagonist of inFamous and inFamous 2, Delsin Rowe is a rather cool, charismatic guy who actually enjoys his new found powers. After spending 20 plus hours playing as Delsin, I can in fact confirm that he is indeed a smug, skinny jeans and beanie-wearing jerk - but not in a bad way.
When inFamous Second Son was initially revealed, my first impression of Delsin Rowe was that he kinda looked like a smug, skinny jeans and beanie-wearing jerk.
