![]() They'll say I'm doing a great job, that they don't know what they'd do without me. But even just passing a friendly group of scavengers bringing back supplies, I'll get plenty of compliments. Sometimes with good reason, like if I've just saved them from being executed. ![]() Not just from other Division agents on the radio, but from the citizens. That's already pretty fucked up on its own, let alone in the light of what's happening in the county right now.Īnother uncomfortable part of The Division 2 is all the attaboys I get while playing. In The Division games, you're a federal agent killing American citizens for the crime of doing literally anything. The penalty for any crime in the world of The Division, be it murder, attempted murder, carrying a gun, looting supplies-as long as you have a red enemy icon over your head while doing it-is death. There was a faction called "Rioters" you had to kill. The original Division game was problematic, too: Enemies weren't always heavily armored evil commandos but sometimes just people wearing hoodies that the game designated as enemies. I guess it was always weird to do that, but now it feels extra weird. But I still just help myself to their stuff because… I'm a hero? They could be alive but hiding in fear somewhere, for all I know. A bunch of food and water in a courtyard or on a secluded roof? No idea whose that is. A backpack on the street probably belonged to someone who died. Yes, I donate the food and water to friendly citizens who are trying to rebuild safe zones, but I'm not really sure who I'm stealing from to do so. It's weird to shoot someone for the crime of sifting through garbage in the post-apocalypse, especially when I'm the guy looting the absolute nuts off the city-going through every box, backpack, and rooftop garden I find, filling my pockets with bottles of water, food, first-aid, and other supplies without stopping to consider that it might belong to someone else. But sometimes they're just walking around scavenging from the trash when I pop out of cover and blow them to hell. Granted, the people I'm shooting are typically trying to kill me or other citizens with flamethrowers and grenades and explosive-rigged remote control cars.
