He's also a relatively friendly person and doesn't show any hostility whatsoever towards Crane and holds on to his promise to give the medicine to him. Despite his condition however, he managed to survive relatively quite well in the apocalypse (which he probably isn't even aware of), seeing as his anti-social tendencies has prevented him from being swarmed by zombies or targeted by Rais' men. When you go visit him to get some medicine, he asks you to find a box of chocolates and a VHS 'Charly' tape for his mother because it's 'Mother's Day'. ![]() Pre-virus, He bought prescriptions every day from the local clinic for his mother, not realizing that his mother is dead and the 'person' he is giving the medicine to is a bunch of furniture arranged together to look like a person with the word 'MOTHER' written in the middle. Diagnosed by the Audience: Gazi (who refers to himself in third-person) in the Mother's Day sidequest.It is implied that this is how most of his victims died and that the only reasons for his monstrous crimes are for pure enjoyment. ![]() When Crane faces off with him, the killer plans to torture Crane and savor his screams. The killer brags to Crane he has killed so many people he lost count of how many, even saying he killed women and children, and bodies strewn about the station represent only a small amount of his victims. "Fan Zone" side quest: " The Fan Zone killer", broadcasting from the Old Town Radio Station, claims that there are women and children at the station who need food and water, but when Kyle Crane hears this and goes to investigate, he finds the broadcaster, ever since the zombie outbreak first started, used the station to lure people in and kill them himself.Crane defeats Salim and finds an abused Aida in a room that is horrifyingly stained with blood and filled with tally marks that a prisoner makes, revealing that Salim has had other women and children in his basement to use as his "puppets" for his own pleasure. When Kyle Crane arrives searching for Aida, Salim sics an army of zombies onto Crane before trying to kill the man himself, noting his plans to track down Yasmina and her young brother and feed them to zombies. Luring the young mother Aida and her daughter Yasmina to his house, Salim captures Aida and attempts the same on Yasmina, chaining up Aida in his basement. "Where's My Mother?" side quest: Salim is a sexually depraved kidnapper who stalks women and children throughout the city of Harran.On the other hand, the side quests are often clever, and even if the main plot is "tropey," it's executed well. If you're inclined to try, you're likely to see most if not all of the main twists coming. Cliché Storm: Most of the critics of this game agree that the game's plot plays most of the expected beats from a zombie game of this sort.Although The Bozak Horde may imply that "Bozak" is either a cult or a Legacy Character, and the Bozak you fight in the main game is just one of many (an interpretation supported by the fact that Bozak in the main game and Bozak in the DLC have entirely different voices). This in spite of the fact the game does have some human enemies with enhanced mini-boss level health (the Fan Zone killer and the Cannibal). Anticlimax Boss: Despite talking himself up as some kind of ultimate badass (and all the trouble you have to go through to reach him), as well as being the main subject of The Bozak Horde DLC, Bozak himself is no tougher than a regular Rais Thug and goes down in a couple hits from a mid-to-late game weapon.The trailer makers decided to take a page off of the Assassin's Creed series and utilized a track from Woodkid, the very high-paced and aptly used " Run Boy Run ".Awesome Music: Dying Light has a pretty sweet techno theme track, very reminiscent of the 1980s thriller genre.Suffice to say, the endings hurt many potential players' desire to play the DLC, or even the original game, for that matter. Audience-Alienating Ending: The endings in The Following result in either Crane being turned into a volatile and spreading the infection outside of quarantine, or willingly activating a nuclear warhead to contain the infection by destroying all of Harran and its inhabitants.Was this typical villain stupidity, or was Rais so obsessed with living out his social darwinist philosophy that the GRE rescue was just an excuse to fight the one man in Harran capable of threatening him? He could have easily escaped with the GRE had he not taunted Crane with his plans over the radio beforehand, resulting in Crane storming the tower and killing him. ![]() Alternative Character Interpretation: Rais's actions in the finale.
