They are completely obsessed with female protagonists even since Unity got backlash from 5 people for not having a female option in multiplayer even though the multiplayer characters are all Arno anyway.

This is the paradox of feminism.
On the one hand, women hate men.
On the other hand, women long to be men.
That’s why you see feminists cutting their hair short, binding their breasts, wearing men’s clothing, and pretending to be men.
They believe that by concealing their feminine traits, they can become as strong as men.
These idiots never understand that the life of a real man is actually very hard.
If a feminist pretends to be a man and then goes to the dating scene to find a girlfriend, she’ll soon start hating women too.

The game’s production director has been replaced.
Originally, the game featured real magic, and the MC could turn into a cat.
The new production director hates the idea of including magic in the game, so he’s removed all the magical content.
The game has reverted to a historical sci-fi setting.
Great, I absolutely hate magic.

>Shay continues to stay with the Templars after the events of AC3 even though he directly knows Haytham tried giving every civvy in New York smallpox-infected blankets when the New York Fire happened and they lost their homes, and then sides with Germaine's group of Templars instead of de la Serre or the Autrian Rite leader who were actively trying to work with the Assassins (Something he wasn't against).

Yes, it's fine, its main fault is the story that's terrible. The gameplay side of it is fine outside of the grannies hunting you once you turn Templar which makes exploring cities annoying and the Morrigan is a much worse ship compared to the Jackdaw even though the legendary ship battles are way better.
>I don’t want to play as a Templar.
That's the entire premise of the game. The first few hours you're an Assassin, the rest including the epilogue you're a Templar.

But Yasuke is far better written than Naoe. Naoe is just a generic revenge-driven woman with no real character to speak of while Yasuke actually get character development in between Oichi and the other chick saying how amazing he is. Nobutsuna's Students and Nobunaga's Killers were both great on top of the entire Templar story. Yeah, the Templar story was also revenge-driven, but Yasuke was a way better character dealing with revenge and could actually control himself.
>>

The thing is that they also believe that right is wrong and wrong is right. These are the same people who believe satanists have a right to exist after all. They'd just label them as a pagan and wiccan heritage.

>>738836804
I'll be honest bro but I just don't like seeing a nigger as a main character in my Japanese asscreed. And I don't think anyone else does either considering how it performed.

And there's really nothing wrong with Naoe being revenge driven. That's literally 80% of Asscreed protagonists from Altair to Ezio to Arno.

Tell me you didn't play Unity without telling me. They directly paint satanists as irredeemable. You even take down their secret society (Picture related) despite Arno being an atheist. The church is regularly portrayed as morally good or in the right in pretty much every game it's in, it's just constantly corrupted by the Templars. Valhalla was literally about helping the English king rid his entire Order of the Ancients sect of people blaspheming the Trinity and believing Isu are the true gods so that he could espouse Christ's message as true. Eivor is the entire reason why the Templar Order was even born. It also directly paints Guthram converting to Christianity from Norse Paganism as an objectively good thing. Even in Shadows despite Yasuke being enslaved by monks he's still friends with one of them and has no issues with Christianity itself.

>>738836901
Believe me, I'm not a fan of Yasuke being playable at all in Shadows, but when presented the game as-is Yasuke is simply the better written character across the board.
>there's really nothing wrong with Naoe being revenge driven
You clearly haven't played it. It's not that she wants revenge, it's that that's her entire character. There's nothing else to her outside of revenge. You can't place what her normal personality is, what her belief system is, what she actually wants to happen, nothing. She sees red every time a Shinbakufu member appears and Yasuke has to calm her down so they can reliably take down the target and their organization with a clear head. Even in the four or so times she just stops somewhere to talk about life with Yasuke it's impossible to place who she is as a person outside of someone who wants Japan to be safe.

>>Assassins are written like unreasonable assholes for no reason.
They are indeed a bunch of fucking assholes. What do you think would happen once assassin took over the city and overthrown the vile templar out of it? AC syndicate is literally about gathering a street gang, collaborating with illegal smugglers, and utilizing gang war - to replace them with assassin gang. In ezio trilogy, ezio collaborating with thieves, mercs, and prostitute to manipulate the streets and keep everything in check. In Black flag the pirates are resisting order and rebelling against authority (that could give them a better life) for the sake of plundering other people ships and wage war in the ocean. Now you're telling me that once the assassins are won, those criminals and thieves wont terrorize the entire city and act like an assholes to people?
That one scene where the well-educated haytham btfo that cattleminded conner with his templar and order argument in ac3 is still relevant to assassin creed universe to this day
>>
>>738837198
then how would you make a game that is about witches and the enemy being the church then? Because that's the entire concept of Hexe.
>>
>>738837252
Don't forget that when people bring up the Salem Witch Trials they imply this lasted hundreds of years and that millions of people died during the course of it when in reality like maybe 20ish people died in total throughout the single year it happened?

>>738837274
You're going way too deep about this thought. I am talking about how they act like they don't think about anything at all and are willing to kill randos just because they bothered them or saw something whereas Monro wants to spend all his money building up the city, takes care of his enemy, defends his enemy, he treats everyone with respect, and more. Gist doesn't even reveal he was going to kill Shay if he betrayed them until after he was initiated into their group. Haytham is presented as morally righteous until you kill Adewale and even after that kill Shay has zero objections.

>>738837351
Very easy: Templars are in the church and using it to try and obtain Pieces of Eden under the guise of the witch trials. They present false evidence so that the church has the authority to raze a village and they get to search it. Hexe's MC is in charge of rooting out the corruption which leads to an end of the trials.
>>
>>738837018
I dont mind playing as female assassin as long as she's female for the sake of... being female, and have a good looking face on top of that.
The problem is that with this stupid witch salem wiccan shit they will definitely put a heavy dose of feminism in there, something like men are doing some unjust crime to w*m*n simply because they were exist or something, and men are bad, and women are victim. That shit is tiring; they said that women are stronk but they also said that they are victim, how does that even work? Fuckin oxymoron i tell you

How does that tie to the MC being a witch or involved in witchcraft though? The premise overall is already rather pretty flimsy if you're not going balls deep into the whole witch mysticism

>>738837719
>How does that tie to the MC being a witch or involved in witchcraft though?
Pretty simple using the already established lore.
>MC and her coven are located in an area where an Isu vault had its structure destroyed so it's out in the open.
>They perform certain actions thinking it's necessary which allows them to use the weather machine that was in there to create fog or alter the environment in some way so that people can't find their way to her village.
>The vault itself also had some PoEs that allow them to do very specific things like maybe poison someone, cause someone to hallucinate (Like an Apple does), creates mist, etc.
>PoEs have already been established to look like magic to people when in reality it's just science we haven't learned to control yet in modern times.
You can very easily work the concept into this. The church goes after the witches because they perform acts to activate their PoEs that look like rituals, hexes, and so on leading to the thought that they're performing witchcraft. Templars find out about this, infiltrate the church, and now you have to go after them.

No they weren't. Leonardo not only helps them, but Ezio himself has no problems with Christians, just the Borgias.
Connor not only brings a priest to the Homestead, but builds a church for him, pretty much has the entire Homestead turn Christian outside of Achilles who knows all religions are fake due to being an Assassin, and then helps the priest with a wedding ceremony even though Connor himself doesn't believe in it.
Shay's a Protestant if I remember right.
Arno directly helps a bunch of nuns and stops an entire Satanist group even though he's primarily a hedonistic atheist.

Valhalla's literally has Eivor go from being the stereotypical pagan laughing about her gods nailing Christ to the cross to bringing Christians into Ravensthorpe, befriending them, allowing them to freely worship, and there's an entire side quest where she directly helps a bunch of nuns even if she doesn't agree with their beliefs.
The entire story is about taking down the Order of the Ancients which only happens because Aelfred, its leader, believes they are all blaspheming heretics who want humanity to worship the Isu instead of the Godhead.
Guthrum converts to Christianity in the epilogue and this is presented as a morally good thing.
Basim also outright states he loves speaking to priests because he's Loki and as an Isu wants to learn about human philosophy and religion.

In Mirage Basim directly goes into the Christian side of Baghdad and directly helps a priest. Christians are also presented no differently from any other people in Baghdad.
Shadows has Yasuke enslaved to a priest, but once he gains his freedom he willingly works with another Jesuit who was kind to him. Sure, he speaks about how the Jesuits might be using their religion to expand into Japan when speaking to Nobunaga which leads to them starting to get less favor with him, but that's about it.

>>738839534
It's fine if they're revenge driven, it just can't be their entire character even in the off moments because it feels very one-note, and that's what Naoe is. Yasuke himself is a revenge-driven character but he's stoic, he's serious, he's able to consolidate his anger towards a goal to achieve that revenge, he's regularly assessing situations that Naoe is seeing red on, he's able to philosophize with people like Oichi and Nobunaga, and is even able to put aside his lust for revenge at times even if people have faulted him for the greater good. Naoe only really does that towards the tail end with one specific character and only because said character has an ultimatum.

Even with the Claws of Awaji DLC it's about rescuing her presumed dead mother and we don't really learn anything about her as a person at all outside of that she trusts Yasuke with her life after hating him before. Like, the most you can grasp of her character is that she loves Japan and wants to keep it safe from the Templars, but after they've eradicated them that's mostly because of Yasuke and her mother rather than any other reason.

Writing an AssCreed story that isn't shit is always going to be an uphill battle today, because it's about secret societies warring for control of the world order throughout generations, manipulating thousands of different cultures and religions over the ages, and you need to be able to engage in depth of historical understanding beyond Current Narratives™ to be able to pull lore for it off. But no one of that profile is allowed to be a triple-A writer anymore, so we won't get it. And without story, it's just another generic RPG or TP stealth game, so why would anyone be interested?

>>738839760

But that really is the case for most Asscreed protagonists. They didn't really become multifacted until the later games and only particularly protags who got multiple entries. I just think you're getting upset at a franchise staple.

Connor fought for revenge but he still had a completely different character when on the Homestead, talking with other Assassins, and more. Avenline questioning him if he believes in the Assassin's mission in Liberation is a great example. He also grows from the experience and sees how it destroyed his father and his home by chasing after it.
Even though it wasn't for revenge Edward was very one-note about going for the Observatory and then had an entire "Come to Jesus" moment once Ade betrayed him making him realize the harm he did to everyone leading to him becoming an Assassin.
Arno was revenge-focused but he was still a dick-thinker and actively fighting for de la Serre's mission with Elise in addition to trying to help people out. He wasn't just focused on Elise or de la Serre exclusively.
Bayek was heavily revenge-focused and even he very quickly got tired of hunting people for Aya, was constantly torn at the thought that he was going to the Duat for murdering people, had a falling out with Aya because he only wanted to protect Egypt instead of a broader world, and more.
Kassandra was heavily revenge-focused and she learned to stop hating Sparta (Even if it was extremely poorly done), worked with Myrinne, and worked against both the Cult and OotA. She also actively tried to save her brother, worked with Darius to stop the OotA because of a goal higher than revenge, and sacrifices her happiness to become The Keeper until Layla is born so now she has to avoid society and collect PoEs.

Naoe only gets rid of the Templars because she wanted to get her dad's box from them and take revenge. It isn't until the DLC that she decides she wants to collect all the Regalia and return them to the Emperor because he worked with the Kakushiba Ikki before, and that's still primarily pushed by her mom asking her to do it.

Which is a good thing, because the fans hated Odyssey's fantasy elements and constantly criticized Origins' and Valhalla's fantasy elements. It has no place in this series. For years they used the Pieces of Eden to describe weird phenomena and that's how it should stay, not suddenly introduce literal magic. As it is we have a real Headless Horseman roaming around America, Old Ones exist according to Mirage, and Shadows confirmed Yokai exist.

Maybe she has some Isu power that causes the witch hunters to chase her? Then her first mentor saves her and that's why she joins the assassins.
The leaks mentioned blood pacts, so she can probably do some "witchy" stuff.

You should have been playing in the Immersive Mode from the start. Don't tell me you started without Canon Mode on too. Those should be default options, not this optional stuff. The game is also super easy if you're not on Nightmare difficulty and Master Assassin stealth so bare that in mind.

The thing is, they still need to sell the "fantasy". Black Flag was about feeling like a pirate. Syndicate had you play as a crime boss. Odyssey made you go on a litreral greek odyssey, being a hero, fighting in wars, and fighting greek monsters. Valhalla was about being a viking.
So in Hexe, even if the magic is just science nonsense, they still need to sell that you are playing a witch fantasy before the AC lore shenanigans kick in. This means they have to go in with curses, rituals, living in the woods with a witch coven, performing the black sabbath and walpurgnisnacht, even reference the whole riding brooms thing, and maybe instead of having a hawk, your scout pet is black cat. That kind of shit.

Yeah, but that's easily handwaved. You have to perform actions but it's just to activate a PoE. In combat you stab a straw doll or something but in reality it's just the movement or specific motion that activates the PoE. Cauldrons only work because the location they get their water is some specially filtered Isu water, etc. It can easily smush the witch part into justifying it via PoEs and then eventually leading to the MC realizing they're not using magic at all but Isu technology and no one believes her. Sort of like a Horizon Zero Dawn moment where Aloy tries to convince everyone technology exists but instead they all just think she's weird.

What is it with protestantard thinking that a women's appearance and ability contributes to her value separately? She is hot because she has tits AND can fight. There is no reason to make a character a man "because her being a woman adds nothing", sexual appeal is a legitimate point of value for a human being.

You're the one who doesn't get it. Female fighters who looks beautiful are a male sexual fantasy (Amazons, Sisters of Battle, tomboy GFs, and so on). For them to be attractive female would be letting you keep your fantasy. They uglify what would normally be attractive to make it their thing. Have you ever noticed that with all their "art?"

Unironically, they make put a chick in it and make her lame, ugly, and gay.

More accurately, it scatters photons with shorter wavelenghts and blue has a very short wavelenght in terms of the visible light spectrum.

If we got an Asscreed game with a Aztec-Spanish contact setting, it would be an absolute waste to have it purely take place from the perspective of any single character

MAYBE you could get away with solely having a Tlaxcalteca protagonist, but I still think that would be iffy and would likely just lead to an oversimplified narrative and presentation of the political dynamics (which is one of the main problems with a sole protag in the setting)

I have a brilliant idea.
You play as a character on both sides, being a mestizo descendant of them who eventually intermarried after the conclusion of the war. Maybe have an epic boss fight between them where you change character throughout against with unique moves and items before ending in a stalemate

I feel like they have used all the big iconic locations for AC games already do you know what I mean? Like they have used Renaissance Italy and French Revolution era France and and Victorian London and Egypt and Japan. Those were always the big ones that people wanted immediately after they finished the first game. I remember because I was there on gamefaqs at the time in 2007 and those were the big locations everyone kept talking about for a sequel. Like they dont have any very popular location left so everything else is just going to be very random places. The only other one I remember a bit of demand about including from one of the old writers for AC, Corey May, is Ireland during the 1916 rising where Ireland separated from the UK but I dunno if that would even been a good setting for an AC game and if people would really care about it.

That's the lore.

They already established that the assassins (in name) only go as far back as Origins, so Cleopatra's time. Before that with Oddysey Alexios wasn't part of anything and we don't know if Darius was hunting what would have become the Templars.

Like I said, the Assassin organization known explicitly as that exists only from Origins onwards. Yes there were "five great assassins" in China that existed before that but they were never operating as "the Assassin order". That wouldn't happen until after Altair's reforms.

Darius and his friends never called themselves Assassins. Their organization was the Protectors of Persia. Likewise Xerxes wasn't a Templar. He was part of the Order of the Ancients, an orgnization separate from the Cult of the Cosmos (the people Alexios/Kassandra beefed with) but whose end goals the Cult found to generally align with theirs so it had their support.

History Lesson
The assassin in AC2 is called ‘Jing Ke荆轲’.
He attempted to assassinate China’s first emperor, ‘Qin Shi Huang’.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang was in the process of completing his great undertaking of unifying China.
A small, vulnerable state sent Jing Ke to approach Qin Shi Huang under the pretext of presenting a map of the country, with the intention of assassinating him.
He almost succeeded, but because he did not run fast enough, he was killed by Qin Shi Huang with a great sword.
>>
>>738852481
Yes, but he never operated as a member of the Assassin Order because said group wasn't a thing yet.
>>
>>738852581
>Assassin’s Creed: Dynasty
Jing Ke is, to a large extent, the spiritual leader of Chinese assassins, standing against invasion and hegemony. However, he did not join the Assassin Order.
I recall that this was the backstory in the comic.
In ancient times, Chinese Assassins did not join the Assassin Order.
They did not truly join the Assassin Order until the Tang Dynasty, during the An Lushan Rebellion, when a former Tang soldier was taken in by the Arab Assassin Order, becoming the first Chinese person to join the organisation.
Of course, this is largely due to Ubisoft’s modification of the original lore.

>>
>>738853653
>before AC Dynasty
Is that true?
I recall that after Ubisoft revised the lore, he became the first Chinese person in history to join the Assassin Order.
That said, in the mobile game *Assassin’s Creed: Jade*, produced by Tencent, Jing Ke did indeed join the Assassin Order.
I suppose the backstory has been rewritten yet again.
It’s now that Cassandra went to China and established a Chinese Assassin Order to oppose the Templars.
