[Bully Maguire]

[Rei Johannes]

Lol

I doubt it lol. For some reason its more PC to be raiding christian churches and be able to swing an axe at a priest than it is in Islam with ubisofts big brag about about multicultural, identity and religious affiliation and all that jazz.
They also take great care to create a fantasy land that closely resembles an ethnic culture in the farcry series thus can employ said voice actors that resemble this culture they want to portray as don't want to risk offence any cultural appropriation or misrepresentation UNLESS of course its america then meh, Montana will do as everyone that lives there surely wont put a up a fuss at being portrayed as redneck survivalist cultists.

[psyche]

If the game is set in modern day Palestine and Israel area then, yeah.

[Aerond]

The game is set during the golden age of Islam. What do you think?

[Toaster Maximus]

Isn't the main char for Mirage Muslim before him and loki come to agreement, so doubtful..Pus they want to get back to the roots of assassin creed, so picture more akin to the first games then the last batch so picture a more focused game rather then open world

What did you expect the Heathen Vikings to do, walk up and kiss the Christian priests

You goobers always complain about lack of realism but when they do make it realistic and historical then you complain about that too because it doesn't fit your fantasy politics

Nah i'm fine with it but expect equal opportunity anti religious shenanigans within my games. if i can raid and butcher one I expect to be able to do to the other. fair is fair.

The KEY word here though is "games".

Think of it as preempting ubisoft's hypocrisy & bias rather than being offended by playing a blood thirsty viking raider. If anything it should have been more realistic with more burning and taking thralls. The odd blood eagle would not have been amiss either.

Except that the equal opportunity argument is a bad argument. Vikings DID plunder churches. Islamic people DID NOT plunder their own Mosques. I assume you are smart enough to understand the differences?

Just like Connor did not raid Indian camps in AC III.

Stop making sense Roaming Zombie, a lot of people these days can't handle it and it gives them Cognitive Dissonance and they will act even more irrationally .....

BTW the Christians have always been the bad guys in Assassin's Creed games and Islam are the good guys

Historically Templars = Christians and Assassins = Muslims

They're Shia Muslims.

The 'Saracen' muslims were not part of the assassins.

No. No raiding of anything anywhere.
There is the normal AC baskets everywhere to collect (though game count all collecting as stealing and you get notoriety for taking trash out of a basket), the the normal "loot" chest and some big blueprint chests.
That' it.
