Finding Bagley

❝ I don't think I've always been software.❞

Finding Bagley is a side mission in Watch Dogs: Legion. It is unlocked by completing the main story and serves to reveal Bagley’s backstory and origins.

Plot[]

After the events of Hard Reset, DedSec successfully attempts to bring Bagley back to life, but Bagley uncovers some disturbing news. After being brought back to life, Bagley begins to question whether he was once human, similar to how Skye Larsen turned her mother into a house robot. After Hard Reset, Bagley discovered a series of corrupted images inside his operating system, which he believes to be memories. He sends the player 8 images of London landmarks, however they have been distorted and are blurry. The player must figure out where the images were taken, and take a picture using the camera to jog Bagley’s memory.

After an image has been taken, the undistorted image is revealed and an audio file is unlocked. The audio files reveal that Bagley’s real name is Bradley, Bagley was a nickname given to him, although it was much to his disliking. It is also shown he was a keen rower, however he suffered from epilepsy and had multiple seizures. As well as this, it is inferred that Bagley is the brother of Skye Larson. After all eight photos have been taken, a ninth one must be taken. The final audio file shows Skye talking to Bradley about neural mapping – the process of uploading someone and turning them into AI.

Bagley discovers a room in St. Pancras Grande Hotel under the name Bradley Larsen, Bagley’s real name. In the room, Bradley can be seen sitting in a wheelchair, watching the news. Although alive, Bradley has not spoken in almost a year, yet Bagley attempts to communicate with him via having him broadcast to the TV.

Wow. Look at you using my real name for once. I must be truly fucked.
