** While recruiting Ray Kenney, he seems to admit that even Aiden is a next-level hacker, saying that the two of them could have done "amazing things together". It seems that Damien chooses Aiden specifically because Aiden is above and beyond just the average Fixer, and to a degree he's right—the only reason that he gets his goals done at all is because Aiden is able to do things like discover the Bunker, infiltrate Iraq's fortress, etc. Plus, Aiden repeatedly alludes to Damien's ego driving him—it's entirely possible that Damien chose Aiden as a matter of pride, since he views Aiden backing out of the Merlaut job as the reason he was crippled in the first place. Or perhaps he just figures that if he doesn't have Aiden on his side then eventually Aiden will show up against him, so it's better to keep him on a leash.

** Cell phones also need signals to be hacked, The blackout hack doesn't just shut off power, it shuts off the ctOS network for a limited time. Since all of Aiden's hacks bounce through the ctOS network, if it's offline then he can't hack anything. Like if you unplug your router and since all tech runs on ctOS, blackouts mean there's no way for them try to receive incoming transmissions.go to a website, the site is still there, but you can't get to it because the middleman has been disrupted.

** A likely explanation for the drowning death might simply be that they were taking a bath or showering, the power went out, and since bathrooms often don't have windows, it would be pitch black without a light. In an effort to get out of the shower or tub in pitch darkness, they tripped or slipped, knocked themselves unconscious, and then drowned in the water.

** It's entirely possible Blume blamed the Militia for everything that happened in act 3 with Aiden and T-Bone, using it as an excuse to cease using them as security, perhaps in favor of [[VideoGame/WatchDogs2 Umeni-Zulu]], which would naturally anger the Militia.
*** Alternatively, presuming that Aiden used lethal force for the majority of missions in act 3, it's possible that the Militia blamed their contract with Blume for the loss of so many men, and ''they'' were the ones to cut ties.

*** It stands to reason that Aiden ''wouldn't'' be well known during the prison mission, given that if he was well known as a vigilante then, even with the hack relabeling him as John Smith, chances are they would've IDed him as Aiden Pearce, for that matter the whole point of the Prison Mission and the missions building up to that is that Aiden is trying to silence a witness who could ID him, which would suggest his ID ''wasn't'' public knowledge at the time, which would confirm that at the time the Nicky was kidnapped at most he was rumoured, as for Damien exposing Aiden's activities, that's halfway through Act 4.

** It may be less about needing the remote and more about not wanting anyone else to possess it, remember Aiden wasn't the only one who was tracking Frewer, if someone else captured him and took the remote, even if they didn't know they'd find Aiden they may have sought out the Bunker, which would've compromised Aiden's hideout.
