History WMG / InfamousSecondSon

* Is because the RFI got Damaged when [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Zeke knocked it out of Cole's hands when he first tried to activate it]]

[[WMG: Conduits have transferable FastHealing as a RequiredSecondaryPower]]

The game would also feature a consistent day and night cycle, rather than time progressing as the plot demands. The Shadow Conduit's powers would be much stronger at night, but they're easier to control during the day, giving the player a reason to play during all times of the day.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Reggie]] will come back as a [[MakingASplash water conduit]] ]]
His dip in the water will awaken conduit powers that control water and then proceed to mock every other character for their SuperDrowningSkills.

Let's examine the facts. Both groups have an abnormality that distinguishes them from the general populace and face discrimination for it. They have both been called "freaks" and "deviants". their have been incidents where youths from both groups have been forced from their homes and sent to prison-style facilities simply for their abnormalities, with Fetch and Eugene obviously meant to represent gay teens who where disowned by their parents. Joseph Bertrand is an analog to virulently homophobic pastors who are themselves ArmoredClosetGay. As for Bertrand's speeches, imagine that instead of conduits, he's talking about gays, and he will sound eerily similar to Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. Augustine is a stand-in for "ex-gays" who claim to have cured or at least not acted on their homosexual feelings. Cole is meant to represent someone slowly coming to terms with their homosexuality while Deslin represents someone who is completely comfortable with their sexuality and open about it at every turn no matter what. finally, the Good Karma ending in Second Son represents gays finally being accepted by society and able to live their lives without persecution

* I recall reading somewhere that WordOfGod confirmed that ''Second Son'' was canon, but not a direct sequel to ''inFAMOUS 2'', which kind of makes sense since the third game is called ''Second Son'' instead of ''inFAMOUS 3''. So my theory is that ''Second Son'" is an interquel to introduce a new conduit, Delsin, for the next true sequel, ''inFAMOUS 3''. In that game Cole [[spoiler: will have been revived by the lighting strike, with an above troper's theory of Cole's body having shut down due to the absence of electricity rather than being dead as being the explanation.]] and, along with Delsin, Fetch and Eugene, will have been summoned to the Evil timeline by a repentant Lucy Kuo to team up and take on Evil Cole/[[spoiler: the new Beast]]. Cole and Delsin will argue a lot, with Cole seeing Delsin as immature and Delsin will ridicule Cole for being too serious, but they will eventually become VitriolicBestBuds.

** Considering his power set at the end of the game, Las Vegas could be a good choice. Glass powers were previously mentioned, and since glass is derived from sand, the big bad could be a glass/sand Conduit. Make him a mob boss type figure and you've got your mooks, then have him surround Vegas in a sandstorm to establish the boundaries of the open world. Wrap it all up with an appropriate name (inFAMOUS: Desert Sun?), and you've got yourself a sequel.

* When Cole used the RFI, it only killed the strong conduits in the within a certain radius, like the Beast and Cole himself. The wave then only killed those with weak Conduit genes that only gave them weak to somewhat-strong telekinesis or other psychic powers. The Conduits who manipulate elements, like Augustine's concrete powers, or Conduits with psychic powers equal to Alden Tate's would be too strong to be killed by the RFI unless they were within the radius where the RFI effect was the strongest. It would explain why the Conduits are only described as beings who control elements despite there being Conduits in the past who had psychic powers like telekinesis.

[[WMG: Nature-based powers are more common in Conduits from less industrialized settings]]
Neon, video, smoke and concrete are very common in cities, allowing urban Conduits easy access to the source of their powers. A Conduit that doesn't live in or near a city may have nature-based powers, since grass/trees/soil/whatever is more easily found. Mind you, you can still find concrete, smoke and video outside cities, but those materials are less common. It would make recharging harder.

In the good ending of [=inFAMOUS 2=], [[spoiler:the boat that Cole and Zeke are on is hit by lightning in the shape of a question mark. While this could easily just be Sucker Punch hinting at another game, it could also be how Cole comes back to life, with the lightning 'recharging' Cole like a dead battery.]]

Alternately, [[spoiler:Cole could still be dead]], but Zeke could return to teach Delsin how to use his powers and how to fight the government. He was, after all, very against government control in the first [=inFAMOUS=].

* Confirmed.

Most likely he has [[LegacyCharacter similiar powers to Cole]].

All the conduits will either be natural like Kessler or similar to Kuo [[spoiler:(injected with stuff is what is believe to give her those powers)]] The game will end similarly too, with a few key differences between Good and Bad Karma.

Augustine was able to reconstruct the technology and use it to begin transferring her powers to the soldiers. Once the first batch was made, the original subjects could be used as the source for more.
