My Issue with Yasuke

[PlaidViking]

Going into this, I was not following Shadows much because I wasn't really interested at first. That being said, I did NOT know about the limitations that the developers put on Yasuke. I went into the game and was having fun, thinking "oh this is way better than Mirage". And I still think this game is fun, but I don't think Yasuke is much fun to play. Playing Naoe is fun and cool, but I didn't buy the game to be super sneaky (got it, it is an AC game. The core of the game is steal and assassination), but AC has changed. We had Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla that changed AC so that if someone wanted to hack and slash they could and if someone wanted to approach things with stealth or ranged attacks, they could. And that is still doable in this game. I have no issue with if I want to play hack and slash, aggressive open combat I play Yasuke, and if I want to play stealthy sneaky playstyle, I have to play Naoe. Got it, great. I agree with it. What gets me is that Yasuke is garbage for anything but fighting. He can't traverse the terrain as well as Naoe. It makes his ability to explore, in my opinion, very lack luster and leaving something to desire. I do understand that he is NOT an assassin (shinobi, whatever you want to call them right now) and has not received their training in movement and such. I have zero issue with the switching over characters to change my playstyle for combat and such, but I do have an issue that if I want to do some cool exploring I am locked into playing Naoe. What if Yasuke wants to climb all the cool mountains and get some sick views? It is what it is. Maybe a mod will change it, if modding is a thing.
