Aiden's personal motivations may have been cliché, but at least there were some relatable reasons for why he did what he did.
None of the characters, even Marcus himself, have any real background or motivation for why they do what they do, other than fighting "Big brother" and exposing corruption. Much like the original game, WD2's focus on the privacy issues that are facing society is still relevant, but it never really goes beyond that. From there, the small team of hackers perform a variety of missions with a goal of exposing Blume's efforts to control the populace, be it through voting manipulation, selling information, getting major companies to buy into ctOS, and so on. Following a brazen infiltration, where Marcus is able to erase his criminal profile, he is accepted into the group. The sequel follows Marcus Holloway, a young man that's excellent at hacking and who, unlike Aiden, desperately wants to join the DedSec hacker group that's constantly fighting the ctOS takeover.
But Blume was not to be stopped, and since then they have deployed this ctOS 2.0 program to various locations across the United States. At the end of the original, protagonist Aiden Pearce finally managed to overcome the Central Operating System (ctOS) created by the Blume Corporation, after it had taken hold of Chicago. Watch Dogs 2 takes place after the events of the first game, though there are no direct connections.
