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!

quite awesome! I would like an AC game about the Maya or the Aztech to interduce us to the whole historian aspect of a native American character before the collusion with the Spains (correct me if I am wrong... ain't a historian). Just exploring the vast wild world while exposed to the whole culture sounds amazing.

I think everyone we know as a historical figure/hero has been associated with the templars and/or a piece of eden, so its not a surprise. I think in AC2 and brotherhood they showed a buch of them holding the apple at one point in time to gain control of the masses. And Leonidas was cooler, just because of the timeline and the sheer political and tactical prowess not to mention the impossible undertaking of fighting the Persian army the way he did.

why are people bad, just working for the templars? Look at Shay Patrick Cormac, once an assassin he turned into one of the greatest assassin killers, but are his actions good or bad?(I mean of course it's bad, cuz he kills people :D but in comparison to the Brotherhood). This my brother is the philosophical question in nearly every AC game.

Benvenuto my friend, may peace guide you. remember, Nothing is true...

Abstergo does not cause trouble. Our quest for world domination is all but finished

I’m gianluca hello from me, and you are so right . May the creed live forever

I weep for the youth of today, fascinated with violence for violence sake.

ilcm to the brotherhood fellow assassin

My dear fellow why would you assume that there are only assassin ruffians lurking about here? I am sure you are quite the Assassin's Creed fan, as no doubt are well all here. Not unsurprisingly the majority have directed their fan-ship to the evil death cult of the Assassins while a few erudite souls have accept the glory of the 'Knights Templar' as their choice of faction. Regardless however, welcome. May the Father of Understanding guide you (or at least stop you from wasting your money on the newer games).

What system are you playing on

not much these days my fellow fan. it was a way for fans to showcase theories, fan made art and a way for ubisoft to reach out to us but these days we don't hear from them. Why that is? I don't really know. could be they located more resources to their sub reddit and twitter. As far as I know this was the only social outlet of theirs that didn't have a community manager or mentor from the mentors guild reaching out to the fans. But still from time totem you will some good points made by AC fans and speculations.
