While cleared areas are still subject to the random DUP drive by, reducing the frequency of encounters makes traveling around the city a lot easier. With Seattle split into districts, each with its own level of DUP presence, the side missions serve to clear the area of increased enemy presence.
Sadly this “I really don't need to do this” attitude spread to the majority Second Son's side missions. How, when, and even if you deal with these is completely up to you I found myself engaging with them whenever they showed up at the beginning, but as my karmic standing grew, and I cleared enough to pick up the trophies, I found myself ignoring them for the most part. As with the second game, random karmic moments, like taking out drug dealers or torturing street musicians, appear as you travel through the city. With fewer large choices, Second Son's trip up or down it's karmic path leans heavily on Delsin's actions as he runs around the city. I, a natural proponent of the good path, found myself understanding why someone would take some of the evil options, especially when it comes to the game's later choices.
It also helps that there is context to each choice. While the picks are plainly either good or evil, the voice acting and phenomenal look and feel of the motion capture animation add an extra weight to each choice. Coming up fewer times then the previous games, each choice sticks to the binary structure that has become an Infamous hallmark. This grounded nature also carries through to the game's karmic moments. Unlike Kessler and Bertrand, who both seemed more caricature then character, Augustine is manipulative and malevolent, working towards her goal of capturing Conduits with a tyrant's surety of purpose, completely convinced of the fact that her way is the ONLY way.
As much as it can for a game about people that throw concrete grenades and transform into smoke, Second Son's feels more grounded. From there the story moves at a brisk pace, covering ground fast as Delsin takes the fight to the DUP while also searching Seattle, the first real city to be used in the series, for the other escaped Conduits to up his powers. Rowe is forced to make his first karma choice. When Delsin's own latent Conduit ability, a type of power absorption that gives him the abilities of Conduit's he's touched, awakens after interacting with a Smoke Conduit named Hank, events come to a head, and Mr.

See, a Bio-Terrorist is simply government propaganda code for Conduit, and in the years since Cole's death, Conduits, both those that survived and those who have come into their powers since, have been rounded up by the Department of Unified Protection (or DUP) and it's director, the no-nonsense, Nick Fury-esque Brooke Augustine. That sounds a lot scarier then it actually is. Always one step behind is Reggie, Delsin's brother and the local sheriff, who, in the process of arresting his brother for defacing a public billboard with graffiti (it also just happens to feature his brother as said Sheriff), becomes a witness to a Bio-Terrorist escape.
Picking up 7 years after the “good” ending of Infamous 2, in which perennial Christian Bale Batman voiced Cole MacGrath sacrificed his life and those of his fellow Conduits to rid the normal human population of a plague, Second Son introduces us to Delsin Rowe, an American Indian post-teen/pre-adult who consistently finds himself on the wrong side of Misdemeanor Lane.
