Watch Dogs Legion looks pretty damn interesting

I unistalled uplay some time ago - after they spoiled Division II again and then made their uplay even more annoying - so I guess I'm happy to pass. It is sad that the concept was interesting, but I have heard from someone who play Ubisoft games regulary, that it was too much random - that it is better if you can customize your minions more - I saw similar problem in one small indie game - they had too few characters for your group because another part was another simplistic feature - not very good / unfinished coop and it wasn't succesfull no matter how many creative ideas they had in their auto generated dungeons. I loved the game so much, but there was no drive to play it longer.

You can customize how your people look if you want. I rarely did, though.

No idea what the comment about being too random may be about. The people's looks are too random? Just the pick the ones you like the look of, then. You can have forty characters!

I think they had some random skill set and you couldn't change it, so the fun was more about finding an agent with the best stats? But then I have heard that you could do all the missions with 1-2 agents with the best setup and the rest was useless.
On the other hand, atleast someone tried it - instead of 1 customized group to have so many of them, only it was fun for some time only.
But I really have no idea - just what I remember. But maybe I cannot compare it to RPGs, because it was a stealthy game, which is something I don't play regulary.

I expect you could play almost all of it with one agent. But why would you? Different skills open up different possibilities, which allows lots of different game play.
