As a Templar, I welcome you to the council. We are seeking more good men for our cause. May the Father of Understanding Guide You !

You logic lacks sense, but even without your attempt at a justification, how would that make sense? You'd write the same story twice, but with different names and pronouns? That's silly. This is Ubisoft's fault. There should never have been two sides of the same character. It was obvious it would lead to confusion and of course they would eventually have to choose one. But back to you. When you play other RPGs, do you also ask that your fully customized character becomes canon? No. Same thing. Actually, it's not. Alexios and Kassandra are not characters, they don't have different personalities. The only things that change are the voice, the gender and the look. Their story is the same, so they are more like avatars than they are characters. Sorry, but you'll have to deal with it.

I believe it’s players choice which is canonical. Just as it’s players choice as to who they play as.

HAZZAR! I no long carry the fight along. By the light of the Father of Understanding, let us begin!

Who cares! :D:D

I think Altair

I think it's Ezio because even though Altair was the first Assassin in the series Ezio has more moves and is also just shown to be a better Assassin overall. However, you could also argue that Altair was better as Ezio's best equipment when he is first introduced is Altair's sword etc. and technically speaking even right till the end Ezio followed Altair's path so I guess they are equal in some aspect. They were both great Assassins. They were both great people. They both experienced hardship when young and most of all, they were both great characters and are what made the Assassins Creed series so great today. So I guess I take it back, they are equal.

Why would I even try?

Old Ezio, yes! Young Ezio, Jacob Frye coulda whooped him.

Welcome to the Council, Assassin.

Welcome freind

I'm sorry, but don't worry. That'll change once you try the earlier games.

Never feel alone as we are fighting together.

Welcome :)

Welcome fellow assassin. :)

you can save manually, so you can go back if you do not like your choice ;)

Greetings. I do appreciate your point, all though as a Templar fan I can not seen to be promoting the assassination of members of the order. But If I can take my fan boy hat off for one moment, there is a lot of things I do not like about Assassin's Creed Odyssey, from its poorly written script, mish mash story line to unaddressed glitches and unrealistic mod engravings. There are two things that annoy me the most. The 1st you have touched upon, Actual stealth mechanics. I think the important word here is, actual. There are stealth mechanics with in AC:O but the majority of it is linked to the incessant murdering of one or other of the Polemarchs and their camp/castle captains. Gone is the importance of stealth actually of being any real importance to any of AC. All it is, is get into, kill the required individuals (and everyone in the camp if you are seen), get your stuff and get out. You can only do that so often before it starts to wear mightily thin. Let me say this, I have been putting in the effort into getting most of everything done in AC:O and I am at about 170 hours but I have reached the stage now that when I discover an "Undiscovered location" and it is outpost, camp, castle or whatever with polemarches and captains to kill, it is like ho-hum who the hell cares. The second of these is Ubisoft need to take a step back and understand the difference between science fiction and science fantasy. From Assassins Creed (the original) right up to and including AC: Origins, the whole thing has been a pseudo science fiction political thriller about two organisations striving to find and fighting over alien artifacts in the past OR THE PRESENT for either the freedom or subjugation of human free will. This has all been done with realistically plausible way (in the sense, that yes it is possible that Aliens could exist). The thing with Odyssey is though it would seem that any plausibility has been sacrificed as matter of expediency to make the game more alluring to new players. I ask you, the host of mythical creatures inserted in Assassins Creed without any rhyme, reason or context to the story is one thing but to go a Black Smith and getting an engraving on a weapon that lets you apply fire damage (even underwater) is another thing (or to simply be under water without drowning for that matter). I apologize for this rant but hey, it is opinion, like or not**puts fanboy hat back on** and of course....May the Father of Understanding guide us (or at least Ubisoft back to soul of what Assassin Creed is)

I understand your point of view, I really love the stealth mechanics in previous ACs and of cozrse it's part of the credo, so I would wish this for the next ACs in which we'll play real assassins. The actual main characters in the "ancient" ACs aren't, they are mejais or mercenaries. In my opinion it's totally ok that a mejai or a mercenary isn't able to fight or to sneek like an assassin. It would kill the feeling i assume. But for a future AC in which we would play a real assassin by lore, I'll totally agree with you, there I need better stealth mechanics and less RPG-mechanics (for example when you stab someone with your hidden blade, he should be dead), to feel the "real" AC vibe

The cinematography is pretty amazing!
