Death Stranding 2 introduces a unique and entertaining dialogue option right at the start of the game that has caught the attention of many fans. This choice, which initially seems like a risky decision, is actually a harmless Easter egg crafted in the signature style of Hideo Kojima.
At the beginning, players encounter a scenario reminiscent of Far Cry, where the character Fragile, voiced by Léa Seydoux, invites Sam, played by Norman Reedus, to join Drawbridge. Players can choose to refuse this invitation by selecting the “I won’t do it” option. However, the game cleverly loops the introduction repeatedly, allowing players to keep declining, but ultimately, the game nudges them to accept the offer to progress.
This dialogue choice does not hinder the storyline or prematurely end the game, unlike some titles that roll credits early if certain options are chosen. Instead, it serves as a fun and safe Easter egg, adding a playful touch before diving deeper into the game’s narrative.
For those curious about the outcome of refusing Fragile’s request, there are videos available that showcase this amusing sequence.
IGN rated Death Stranding 2 a strong 9 out of 10, praising it as a triumphant sequel that fulfills the promise of the original game.
