Squad of Ninja

[wk37781]

Will we be able to create and play as a squad of ninja?

I also would like to know.

I don’t want to upset you, but... xD

It's all good...honestly I've been waiting for a game like this for a wile now.
Looking forward to it's release.
Maybe the ninja thing could be a next project, imagining elements of the game 'Killers and Thieves"/ turn-based Assassin's Creed.. oow weee ..think about it, it might just grow on ya!

You cant but you can probably kill this squad at some point in the game. Would you be satisfied with this? :-)

Bummer. I wanted to play as ninjas. If I can cut them down, they are not ninjas. But it would be cool to be the superior ninja.

If you can destroy mega steam-punk scorpion with mere katana and a bow, you are monk master who can surely defeat ninjas. :)

Ninjas are the supreme top of the food chain. Please refer to the literary masterpiece "Real Ultimate Power". I was hoping to exercise that. It's fine. I guess I might pick up the game in a couple years. And hopefully by then people will have mods that enable Ninja Superiority.

There's no creating any character beyond maybe shaping their choices and traits. But you play multiple over the time. Perhaps a squad of Bushi/Shinboi/Ninja might be some of the viewpoint characters, but otherwise nah.

[LenTheDeranged]

Hopefully I can have at least on playable ninja.

Not to be petty, but all this really took the wind out of my sails for this game.

"But it has all these other things."

Indeed so, but no playable ninja drops my interest.

If it's any consolation you can watch the Rurouni Kenshin series to get you a little bit into the game. Check it out on Netflix if you haven't. You won't be disappointed.

Considering you play samurai, you won't be able to have ninjas in your team. Samurai and ninjas were, historically, deadliest of enemies. And none were slaves under anyone's power.

Historically the deadliest enemy of the samurai were other samurai, with the Mongols, Emishi, and Korean and Chinese being distant runners up. Moreover, a large chunk of "Ninja" were Samurai or those in their employ. There'd be absolutely no contradiction between Samurai and Ninja operating together beyond possible tactical and ethical hangups, and those'd have more to do with personalities and preferences than some kind of ironclad code or the like.

I agree, just don't make vikings, they are so overdone, like the samurais/ninja were 20 years ago or zombies 10-15 years ago.

If the game and mechanics are good, I'd love to see a custom character creator and open world mod, where we can play like Battle Brothers. A man can dream.
