Character creator?
Does this game have any character options like Elden Ring / BG3 or is it always the same?

there is no character editor, what you see is what you get

Meeh not feeling represented in this game, so much for the importance of diversity and inclusion :steammocking:

You get to be a black person dressed in a confederate coat. How is that not inclusive?

Closest thing you get is a bunch of different clothing and different armor pieces. Game is almost entirely spent in a helmet anyway.

And the change of the main character to represent 5BI's CEO is a big problem, it has nothing to do with it being a black lady or whatever else THEY MADE IT A POINT to change the main character deep into development, this wasn't a "well, how about we have a black lady in our game" decision. This was forced blackmail that tanked A44 studios as Kim Belair used the studio's money to work on her own projects as well as ruining flintlock.

Save our games from the gaming equivalent of the mafia
-a gay democrat that's sick of this sh!t

The change of the main character is a rumor.

The guy you're using as a source, Grummz, flat out says it's a rumor in the same breath that he says it happened.

If you do a little bit of digging into where the writers pulled their ideas from to create the game's world, and who those writers are, it's not a bad guess to say that it isn't true.

Grummz do be a gossip queen because it gets him all this attention, though. It's how he's been for like 20 years now. (It's ironic that you use him as a source, then accuse the SBI chick of funneling money for her own projects. Grummz flat out stole millions of dollars from investors under the guise of making a VR MMO.)
"NOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PLAY AS A BLACK PERSON NOOOOO YOU CANT PLAY AS SOMEONE YOU IDENTIFY WITH DATS RACIST" thats what everyone who is bashing this dude for a normal question sounds like

There are Discords dedicated to brigading games that don't fit their narrative. It's cancel culture making the rounds.

Lol it's the definition of cancel culture bro. Brigading something because it doesn't fit with your view of how the world should be is flat out being just as bad as the "transformers" you hate.

Just because the behavior aligns with your personal beliefs doesn't suddenly exempt it from being cringe behavior.

They also have the original model they were going to use as a main character. A white lady that looks like the girl from bioshock. The main character change is not a rumor, you can easily find the details on the original character in grummz twitter thread (I don't twitter but the picture is of the model in t-pose untextured.)

I haven't seen that anywhere.

This is the Twitter thread and it's got nothing in there.

A good thing to point out is the opening sentence in his second tweet, though.

"Before I go further, please note this is rumor from a source that seems very knowledgeable about the studios inner workings. Take that as it is."

Here's the entire thread:

Games are supposed to be fun and to be not about modern politics perhaps you lot can learn from when AC shadows comes out why not to make bs games that appeal to 300 people

What lot? I don't agree with the proposed agenda you guys say SBI is involved in. I just research something before I decide I'm going to celebrate hundreds of people losing their jobs, all of the hate around this game falls back to a guy on Twitter that has spent the past 20 years dumping on developers, and has stolen from investors, spreading information that he admits is just a rumor.

I've played through the game, there's nothing forced or out of place, and it was a lot of fun. I actually haven't enjoyed the mechanics and well thought out gear in a third person action game this much since God of War. Even if SBI were involved it seems little or none of their input was put into the game, assuming SBI actually promote this total transition of content that people say they do.

AC is an UbiSoft game, if you're just now boycotting them because of a black Japanese folk hero you're really late to the party. They are doing way way way worse things to the gaming industry and have been phoning it in for like 15 years.

As I said before your constant shilling here is not turning heads, your just making the company loose money even more I did see the tweet your full of it, no one is interested in paid sellout manchildren shills.
