Soooooo....how is this going to be a creed game if Bayek and Aya established the order...
I mean I'm still going to get it but curious how this turns out

Looks great. I enjoyed that Origins had a very Witcher esque structure and was hoping they would go even further in the rpg direction, so I am thrilled seeing all these dialogue options. Love the naval focus too. I just hope that the writing/direction/overall storytelling is improved, as I found Origins to be middling to poor in that regard.
Also, Kassandra is crazy swole and seems pretty cool.

It looks like they're leaning harder on the First Civilization part of the lore instead of the Assassins/Templars part of the lore
I mean... of course that looked better. I am talking about this procedually generated animations from dialogue choices.
Oh yeah that one looked great too. Someone mentioned Unity. That was amazing too.
And I couldn't be happier.
I feel I'm gonna love this one a lot more than Origins.
Wait, can we switch the character AFTER we start the playthrough or are you stuck with that character for the whole game?
So.... the Origin of the Origin?
Are Ubisoft just straight up abandoning the interconnected narrative then?

I thought Origins dropped a ball on the entire "origins of the Assassins" bit. They already knew how to assassinate, they randomly had the hidden blade just lying around. Maybe someone will actually invent the hidden blade in this game, or find it in a First Civ vault.
Straight?
Straighter?
And Bi?
This made me laugh my ass off. I know it probably means poly relationship but my first thought was "fuck that, I want a threesome".
The look waaaaay better than Horizon. Not as "busy" but more natural. Less doll-like.
The setting looks pretty great but I can't help but feel that this is too soon after Origins. That said, will wait for a review and grab it on sale after a few patches.
I also love it that there are actual armors with values now, not just outfits. Hopefully, the stats are varied enough to warrant looking out for the best ones.
And in a time where Bethesda and Bioware are starting abandon dialogue choices in their RPGs, Ubisoft delivers.

The hidden blade was invented at least 400 years before Origins and 30 years before the events of this game.
Nah, those dirtbag Athenians fit the bill a lot better during that conflict. No true Templars would have let them off as easy as Sparta ended up doing at the end of the war. Flip the results and we all know that Athens would have had zero qualms about razing Sparta.
You havent watched the video yet yeah?
The cape goes one direction for Male the opposite for Female.
Also see her chest?
Its a full breast plate, hell if you just cut the breastplate part you cant tell what sex the person wearing it actually is.
Looking at the picture below....if the first thing that comes to your head is....oww wow we can see so much of her chest, there is something wrong with you.
I really need to be sold on this narratively connecting to the others.
If this one drops the ball on that, don't even have an overarching narrative. Just make them all one offs that share themes and backstory.

This will legitimately decide for me who I'll pick. If gay romance is in, I'm picking the dude.Hopefully the same is true for males. I wanna play this the Greek way.
Seems to be leaning more Witcher 3 than Bioware. They've even got the 'yellow text is progress, white text is flavour' thing in the dialogue choices.
Not surprising since it felt like Origins' primary inspiration.

Given Ancient Greece's reputation concerning sexuality, it would be incredibly stupid if there aren't.
All gen we've heard "we've come up with a brand new combat system" whenever a new AC was announced, here they just name drop Origins and say that they iterated on it, indicating how well done that system was.
Oh my god she's so fucking swole I love it.
Wait, 400 years before the origin of the Assassin's guild? How does that work?
