Wait a minute...

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

At the end of the main campaign we can assume Crane brings all of the remaining research to Camden so he can work on a cure, but if there is a Dying Light 2 with zombies included doesn't this mean that Dr. Camdens cure never worked out?
jeez, im really looking forward to how Techland develops the plot relating to a cure for the virus, especially since now everything went to hell and humans are back living in the dark ages.

Maybe we'll start getting answers soon :)

shuoldnt be hard, the zombies easily escaped to country side in following (yea i know its not cannon) and the only thing blocking them to escape further were trees an mountains... not hard for it to spread, but hey we cant forget that GRE was "officialy" "shutdown" and in reality it would meant nearly everyone got theyr hands on virus
Ed: some typo fixes

*BIGGER SPOILER AHEAD*

Not only does the research not find a cure, but Crane dies at the end of The Following DLC after the main story for Dying light 1 (there's two optional ways, but he's dead either way)

Dying Light 2 is a couple of decades in the future after the entire planet has been lost to zombies except for one final remaining city, you play as an entirely new character, one lost survivor in the last human city.

As the GRE had pointed out, one random scientist wasn't likely to find a working cure, his research may have looked promising, but it was never guaranteed to work.

pretty sure it was last "BIG" remaining settlement, and even that is going to be last KNOWN BIG remaining setlement

Same difference, a scattering of small survivors would be mostly irrelevant to the survival of the planet unless a cure is found

Well...if you go by the main game, there's nothing to prove that Crane actually made it back to Camden.

If you choose to continue with The Following storyline, he damned well didn't either way.

If we are lucky, our final save will be used as a reference. Crane will be the final *BOSS* and the higher his level, and more the more loot he has, then the more challenging the final fight will be. No matter which choice we made will buff him: Atomic powers, motherly love, or even a collage of all special zombies. Meanwhile our stash should be shared with all his minions.

Don't get me wrong ~ I'm not dissin' you, I understand what your saying, but I would never for a second, consider starting DL2 with carryover data from this game.

To me, starting in on DL2 with the fabricated confidence of the advantages of having any buffs/mods/weapons/blueprints, etc., would be a complete experience killer. That formula should never even be considered...just..
no. You've gotta start raw.

I don't think you understood his suggestion, he's actually suggesting the opposite of what you are talking about.

By the context of The Following (the story after the main game), Crane is dead, it's just a question of how he died. If you follow the "he becomes a creature" ending then the suggestion is that using our DL 1 content would create Crane as a boss fight in DL 2 that is proportional to how strong we made him in our DL 1 play through.

We already know that our DL2 main character is not Crane, this is 100% confirmed many times over. Any import he's suggesting from DL1 is to use our DL 1 crane to modify an enemy version of Crane as a monster to have be stronger based on how strong we made him here in DL 1.

Basically a reverse difficulty. New players to DL 2 would get the easy Crane boss while players of DL 1 would get a fully leveled up Crane enemy because we made him so strong by leveling him up in our DL 1 save.

DL 2 you aren't playing Crane, so a stronger Crane-monster is your enemy, not a buff to you the-new-character

True, the best part about OG dying light is starting off and having to scrounge for resources whilst making do with weak pipes and hammers, and using the parkour to evade big groups of zombies. I truly hope techland doesn't make the late game a walk in the park like it was with regular dying light.

Ahhh...well perhaps I did gentlemen . I humbly stand corrected.

I edited post #7 to avoid confusion, see bold text. ;)


ONE day remaining until demo, and counting.
