Is there any real story in SoD2

[TheSwampyBogard]

Has anybody gotten far in enough yet? I just found out that that annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ succubus Lily Ritter is in the second game, am I close to anything happening? Is there any real story in the game like there was in SoD1?

No. There are the events that occur over the radio, but so far as I know those people never show up in the game itself. Maybe on a different map though? I've only played on one of them so far.

The "story" consists mainly of beating all the plague hearts in the town, and completing the missions for the leaders - which are typically just simple go here, kill that sort of missions.

They sort of went for more of a sandbox style game this time around, like the Breakdown DLC, as opposed to the original game's story mode.

Yeah, thats what I figured, and it kind of stinks. They tried to make a mash of the OG SoD1 mode and SoD1 Breakdown, but took the core parts out of both of them (No story, and no hero unlocking)

Kinda. The "hero unlocking" is kinda still around. When you "finish" the game you not only get a buff for future games (based on what leader type you finished with), but you also save all your survivors for use in new games. Not sure if they keep all their skill leveled and the like.. as I haven't yet managed to finish. One is about ready to do so, and another is stuck almost to the end.. but the quest seems to have bugged out and stopped progressing.

Edit: I finished the one that was close. You do in fact keep all those survivors, and all their skills. It even tracks how many playthroughs they've survived.. meaning if they die, they're probably gone forever.

A sad day for Brooke today, called in a drone strike and hung out too long in the area.... Boom, dead survivor.

Nah no overall narrative arc. You just survive and create your own survivor stories, the voiced moment to moment conversations and quest were supposed to replace that. Its a game of survival indefinitely.
