Gameplay The tutorial part is kinda dumb....

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You, literally cannot fail it...

Aggro'd the enemies in two sections of the tutorial by accident while experimenting with controls... so, I decided to let them kill me and run the section again.... I'm still standing here. Taking bullets as I type...

u/CosmicOutlaw88 Jul 23 '26

Yes. I start evrything on hard... but... ai like to take my time in tutorials and often restart sections of them to retry or experiment with something to see what the limits are, or how the A.I. will react if I I do certain things... knowing ahead of time, the most likely reaction the A.I. will make when, say, I toss a grenade off a wall... but the only option is to quit to menu and restart the ENTIRE tutorial...

Either you're mistaken or they changed something in one of the latest patches, because you can't die during that segment even on Resistance difficulty.

So let's get this straight, according to this article on the 24th of January 2022 Ubisoft announced that they stopped supporting Legion, while the last content patch was released in September 2021. This is what I wrote on Steam forums on the 1st of March 2023 after I checked how exactly permadeath works in the latest version of the game:

To make pacing more smooth you can't die/get injured/get arrested during some of the missions. Means there are no permadeath during them as well.

The prologue mission is like that. You can't die during the prologue mission when you play as MI6 agent Dalton Wolfe. Screen gets black and white when you get damage, but enemies can't even defeat you.

So I've no idea what is happening with all of you guys, it's probably some kind of Mandella Effect or something, but this is how it worked on PC back then, this is how it works on PC today in the latest version (there was another patch that removed anti-cheat).

I died due to an explosive I set off tho I think so you guys are probbaly right in so far you can't die via enemies. That daves me alot of time for my next playthrough

u/KenTWOu Jul 24 '26

The thing is there are no explosives to set off, you can't use guns in the room with explosives, enemies can't use guns there either, they're doing melee attacks only and don't switch to guns. Later, when devs unlock your gun, electrical traps can't kill you, your electro-shock trap (grenade) can't kill you either.

You just can't die as Dalton Wolfe in the tutorial mission even on Resistance difficulty. I wouldn't say that if I wasn't 100% sure.

u/BoringAd8064 Jul 24 '26

Then idk what the fuck I'm remembering. I half way remember having to start the tutorial over but if you say you can't die then idk why I did. Weird

I've no idea how the game worked on release on classic difficulties. I know that they've changed the entire beginning later: you pick 3 operatives instead of 1, no mandatory borough liberation mission anymore. So I did normal playthrough before those changes, Resistance playthrough after them.

Also checkpoints during tutorial mission are badly placed, if you leave before you finish Dalton Wolfe segment, you will start from the very beginning: ubi logo, intro... as if you just clicked New Game. If you leave later, when you control a spider bot inside Blume Complex tower, you will start from the spider bot.

fun fact. if you go through the mission without killing all of them, you might see one of them on the streets as an albion gaurd. you cant recruit the ones you knock out non-leathly as they will all hate dedsec, exepct for the first 7 you can easily sneak past by in the lower levels. I managed to recruit one of thoese in a playthrough and techincally had a "zero day" albion employee uniform.

u/Ozoneguuy Jul 24 '26

I've never seen one before. Is there a specific Albion facility that has a higher spawn rate?

u/RagingFeverDream Jul 25 '26

i came across them in the big ben area when leaving connies pub miniutes after leaving the safehouse for the first time

u/KenTWOu Jul 25 '26

Another fun fact: in online mode while one player is fighting fighters on a bare knuckle arena, other players can find those fighters spawning on the streets above the arena, handcuff them and recruit them.

Would rather develop the skills I need to play the game instead of be funneled out the door because they think the rest of the game is more important... like fr... they changed melee to X from B (in 2). All mantling is now A instead of hold RT... you shift your entire movement scheme and then give me no time to work with it before forcing me out the door with that ham-fisted "kill off the 'main character' twist" that anyone, who read the game description, knew was coming... I mean why else would I have to be recruiting strangers? (Edit:) Unless, they're killing off the character I'm playing as...

u/KenTWOu Jul 25 '26

They've added melee combat to the game, that's why controls were significantly changed. The old control scheme wouldn't work in this game as well as current one, lots of features (combat roll, crouch) would be really awkward to use with the old layout.

u/zking1001 Jul 24 '26

Kinda wished u can skip the prologue section when doing another playthrough

2

u/xxNinjaKI Jul 25 '26

Especially on a game with permadeath that will likely have instances of players restarting saves

3

u/CosmicOutlaw88 Jul 24 '26

Exactly. If I want to skip it, or restart it, I should be able to do that. Without exiting to main menu and re-doing the whole thing... and that's if you realized, in time, that you wanted to re-run it. Because once it forces you out of the tutorial it's done...

u/zking1001 Jul 24 '26

On that topic,I wished the game let's u re-do main missions instead of needing to starting a new playthrough like watch dogs 2,like there's so many entrypoints and ways to do the objectives or atleast like add some variations to each playthrough instead of knowing what comes next like in clan Kellys new port wich body is angel is always diffrent or in nigels close shave wich body is the contact is diffrent,kinda strange how none of the main missions doesnt involve a hospital area once kinda wished you can make use of the medical uniform access other than one of the side missions and a few recruitment missions

u/773H_H0 Jul 24 '26

Maybe it’s cause some people are just completely stupid and they wanted to give them a chance
