This.I went for Alexios as well thanks to the romance options. If people won't give me some gay progagonists, then I'll do it myself, damnit.
I think someone from Ubisoft said in an AMA that Kassandra is the protagonist in the AC Odyssey novelization, which made her officially canon. I might be wrong though, I'm not a hundred percent sure.
There was a video recently that show the character actors walking around talking about Odyssey showing Kassandra's shirt on the back saying "Cannon." Probably, a running joke.I think someone from Ubisoft said in an AMA that Kassandra is the protagonist in the AC Odyssey novelization, which made her officially canon.

Is the writing in any form different for the characters? Has Alexios different character than Kassandra ?
Genuine question to the people saying things along the lines of "Shame, they missed out on an awesome character": Aren't they more or less exactly the same character? Don't they do and say exactly the same things? Same romance options? Same storyline and character relationships? Is it just the voice acting that makes Kassandra better, or am I missing something?
P.S. I haven't actually played the game yet, I'm just curious.
They are the exact same character gender swaped. The difference is the female V.A. is much better.Genuine question to the people saying things along the lines of "Shame, they missed out on an awesome character": Aren't they more or less exactly the same character?

Some of the comments towards the Alexios path from this game since day 1 has been absolutely annoying, and this is coming from someone who chosed Kass.
Yeah it sucks that the marketing was more Alexios focused and I hope Ubi does better in the next game, but it's not a "wrong way to play" to choose Alexios. His delivery is good, the character is basically the same, and people tend to forget that not everyone plays in English.
Is there a trophy for completing the game with each of the characters? If so, what are the percentages?
Their fault. Even in the game it defaults to the guy. They should have made whoever it defaulted to random.
yup.ERA never reflects the mainstream audience, there's nothing surprising
I like your style hombreI am gay, I like men, hence played as Alexios. Screw you if you are going to try and shame me for not picking Kassandra.

Yeah, very similar.I haven't played this but is playing as Kassandra kinda like playing the female main character in Sunset Overdrive? which is just an overall better time.
This seems like a legitimate reason to pick Alexios. As opposed to the people that people are seemingly shaming that just plain don't like women.
Lets not get too crazy there my friendI played with Kassandra and that helped me feel that I played the best Assassin's Creed.
Not as much as Kassandra. Really late, can't sleep and well, "best" would fit better, sorry. Non-native English Speaker who still likes to make mistakes...
No, they weren't. Their statement for AC: Unity was:Ubisoft was rightfully mocked for saying it was hard to make female characters a few years ago.
So, we get an outstanding woman in a game, something that is quite rare, and she just gets ignored by the majority of players?
Next time Ubisoft, just make her the only option. I don't care how "scary" that is to your marketing.
