Marcus’ competition is also pretty laughable. I’m sure that Wrench will mention Marcus and the crew and reveal a bit more about them through some of his dialogue in the DLC, but I’d rather just be seeing the character himself. His story was much more interesting than Aidan’s and ended in a pretty open way. Legion is also set some time after Watch Dogs 1 and 2, so it’d be really interesting to see what Marcus is up to. Really he’s the perfect middle ground between the two characters, which is possibly why he wasn’t picked to join the game.

Marcus is funny whilst having moments of grief and seriousness, has relatable motives that tackle serious issues, and players have seen his growth after following him in the second game. He’s not just after vengeance like Aidan, and he’s not all about his explosions and memes like Wrench. The core characters of the game were all fleshed out and given time to develop, and Marcus is easily the highlight. That story followed Marcus Holloway as he joined DedSec to fight back against a racist system that labelled him as a risk. Watch Dogs 2 was a fantastic game, but one of its surprising highlights was its story. Marcus Holloway is the perfect fit for a DLC character, and I’m shocked that Ubisoft hasn’t realised that. Playing as those two is definitely preferable to randomly generated Joe Bloggs, but they aren’t the character that Legion truly needs. Replacing that with a random character generator was a pretty weird move by Ubisoft, but their DLC plans seem to be reversing on that a little bit by offering clearly defined characters like Aidan Pearce and Wrench.
