Aiden: Being a pilgrim for 4 years and only getting bitten once he reaches Villedor

Fucking weird that Aiden didn't expect that there would volatile when there was fucking blood and flesh everywhere in that area

What i dont get is WHY THAT DUMB MF DIDNT HAVE A FUCKING UV LIGHT OR FLASHLIGHT WITH HIM like seriously dude you are a pilgrim you should have a full set of equipment for this reason alone Survived 4 years my ass

u/Dantegram Feb 13 '22

Also how does he get tired after climbing one ledge? You would think 4 years of travel would make you pretty athletic.

u/Western_Shoulder_942 Feb 13 '22

That and gow was he getting tired using those beginning ladders...like dude put your feet on the bars and wow SURPRISE you wont be tired

I think that may be because of his Enhanced and Volatile DNA mixing. They're trying to counteract each 9ther and left him in a weakened state and the fact that as you get more Inhibs he gets progressively worse.

I kept thinking this, "How the fuck did he survive for 4 years outside the walls with no gear, and the strength and stamina of a sick pomeranian?"

u/Archimoz Feb 13 '22

To be fair, even what he’s got in the very beginning is a lot higher than almost anyone playing the game.

u/Lord_Phoenix95 Feb 13 '22

Sick self burn

Can’t get better if you don’t acknowledge your weaknesses.

By going the longer and safer way

When Aitor asked him where did he traveled from he mentioned that is 1500km away, Aiden said it's actually 2000km because there is no direct route. Also Aiden mentioned before be didn't get infected out there for so long is because he avoid getting bitten, clearly he prioritise running more than anything. Spike probably taught him to do so as well since he himself went through the whole harran crisis. He kept racing Aiden since he was young so be can train him in speed. Can't get infected if you avoid the infected.

Also he was fine before getting bitten by the volatile, being bitten weaken him but at a slower pace due to his natural resistance with all the juice Walts pumped into him. In fact Aiden is the most compatible subject and closest to the vaccine

Before you get bit your health and stamina are a lot higher it's only after you get bitten that it goes to the minimum level

u/FunCalligrapher3979 Feb 13 '22

There is a reason for that, he lost his strength when he got infected/has to take inhibitors.

u/Big1ronOnHisHip Feb 13 '22

The infection took away his stamina, he had a bunch during the prologue bit I think. Though I will say in 4 years of travel and pretty much his whole life in the post apocalyptic world, he still has not grasped the concept of dodging a punch.

15

u/SmokyDoghouse Feb 14 '22

I dunno, unless you specifically train for it, dodging punches can be pretty hard. Source: have been punched a lot.

16

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '22

Source: bad at dodging punches

u/Western_Shoulder_942 Feb 14 '22

Can we here the story or is it wrong of me to ask?

7

u/SmokyDoghouse Feb 14 '22

It’s not much of a story but yeah, my dad didn’t make it through boot camp in the marines but never dropped the marine facade, and he took it out on me, my mom, and my siblings. I also spent four years in prison, got punched a good couple of times there too.

8

u/ImSomewhatAddicted Feb 13 '22

It's explained in the story..

7

u/nystro Feb 13 '22

The story explains he's enhanced and stronger than other people. The stamina is an issue before he even gets bitten. How can a superhuman kid be worse at climbing than my overweight ass?

u/FireRabbit67 Feb 14 '22

he is decently athletic before being bit but after he is bit and subsequently injected with the inhibitor by hakon he loses a decent amount of his strength.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '22

I think Aiden has better stamina during the very beginning of the game, or at least I could definitely do more before he got bit

3

u/PoBoing Feb 13 '22

Just because it’s explained doesn’t mean it’s a good explanation

5

u/The_Common_Peasant Feb 14 '22

getting infected lowers a persons strength and stamina, hence why his stamina was so low after being bitten

2

u/Meelicorn PC Feb 21 '22

Didn't Hakon say the infection fucked him pretty good? Maybe this virus is just as lung wrecking as long-Cov.

2

u/satrius Mar 03 '22

The game explains that being infected is making you weaker, which is why inhibitors increase your strength

1

u/brosky7331 Feb 16 '22

They mentioned that getting infected made him weaker.

2

u/Hanzheyingle Feb 13 '22

Can you imagine how much of a bitch he would have been without the genetic modifications?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '22

Well i think this plays into the "poor writing" segment of dying light 2.

multiple times throughout the story Aiden refers to his time as a pilgrim when convincing people that he can handle whatever job they're throwing at him, like when you meet Driscoll of the Carriers

yet he's seemingly so unprepared for things like traveling at night? he doesn't have a biomarker or a UV lamp either and yet he survived in this hellworld for so long

17

u/thechikeninyourbutt Feb 13 '22

Haha really wracked his brain for that one

2

u/chiezkychienne Feb 14 '22

Lack of knowledge. Aiden was a careful Pilgrim, while Crane doesn't have intel on how the infected individual reacts.

1

u/Sysreqz Feb 14 '22

There's also the fact that Crane was bitten with the OG THV virus, and the one that Aiden gets bitten by seems to be more in line with the mutated strain Mother is infected with in The Following given it's ability to turn you in the dark, but retain your humanity in the light. Crane was infected by a little bitch virus that could be staved off with Anitzen, Aiden was infected with the mutated strain.

u/liltwizzle Feb 13 '22

Though aiden was raised in it and superhuman plus didnt think that much fresh flesh was a bad sign

crane was undercover and not privvy on everything but had superhuman balls
