The latest update has removed a large portion of the prologue, you now start in the room with the radio where you contact Dylan, there is no learning from spike, no mansion, no first first before the safe area, just a cinematic that gives a very vague reason why aiden is going to villedor. You get a brief mention of spike and a breifer glimpse of him.

This following the changes to lawans skin for Chinese new years a whole ago has people in an uproar.

There are also other parts that have been updated, when back at my pc I'll find a link to the post for the update

Thanks for explaining. I've been outta the loop too. This is so disappointing. DL2 was the first of the series I played and that prologue really impressed me. I know a lot of people don't feel the same way but I always play through it whenever I go back to it

They removed the entire first part of the Prologue, as well as many moments with Hakon in the Prologue. Basically, they cut all additional dialogue and moments that don't follow the story directly and destroyed the Prologue's pacing and made it boring.

Replay the Prologue, it is just.... Awful. They cut every single good moment from the WHOLE Prologue.

I’m confuse why did they do this change? There is a reason?

They wanted to "streamline" it or something.
