Alexios or Kassandra?

[YukiYeah]

I know there is no difference between the history of the two, but Kassandra was confirmed to be canon while Alexios wasnt, and now I've the doubt of which should I choose, at first I personally prefered Alexios but Kassandra is so charismatic... all opinions are welcome.

I chose Alexios for the first playthrough (w/ guided mode). Haven't read about characters much before launch, I just prefer male over female, maybe because you always get male character in every AC game (well except liberation hd).
I might try kassandra later, we'll see

[Darth Revan]

you should choose the character you want to play.

i personally will never play kassandra because alexios makes way more sense in the setting and i can immerse myselfe better when i play a male character. I dont care that he is not canon. :)

I'm playing as Alexios but if I had known there'd be so many upskirt shots, I'd have played as Kassandra.

[NichoZefanya]

Not gonna be sexist or what, but i played Kassandra for 8 hours, and unfortunately, i don't really immerse with my playthrough (i am playing warrior atm)

so my armor is like big spartan like armors, but with the girl body... yes i know Kassandra has a big biceps, but Alexios is more fit for me

LMAO! That's what I was saying, but the opposite ;) Show me more upskirt shots of Alexios!

I chose Kassandra because she's the canon in the novel counterpart of the game. :))

I don't understand this "canon" business. This game was always going to have the choice of male or female protagonist. The book was based on the game, not the other way around, and the author had to pick one gender. That doesn't make her "canon," though.

I played the intro island (in full) twice, once as each character. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, as I stated in my other thread, I just couldn't not hear Rico from the Just Cause series. And playing Just Cause in an Assasin's Creed universe is just too immersion breaking.

Needless to say, I chose Kassandra when setting sail and leaving the island.

Kassandra for me, the voice actor for Alexios is TERRIBLE.
Tries way too hard to sound gruff and tough and makes it seem incredible fake.

[Praesi]

I play her. She´s realy cool.

When I first saw Alexios (er, Demios) I thought the same thing. Holy crap is that voice terrible. I mean, for someone growing up thinking he was a literal demigod and trying to overcompensate.. sure. But as a normal dude?

So glad I went with Kassandra, not that there was ever really any question.

See that's exactly why I chose Alexios. When Kassandra does the scene as Deimos, she delivers it so well. If I had the Alexios Deimos, I would have killed him. Kassandra's delivery gives me a reason to not want to kill her. Plus Alexios isn't AS horrible as he's made out to be. He has his very rough moments, but then other times, he actually delivers lines better than Kassandra, especially the humorous ones.

If I get the choice between a male and female character, I will always pick the dude. I have no problems playing as a girl if I have no choice (Tomb Raider, Metroid, etc.) So I picked Alexios.

[Keldrath]

I picked Kassandra just because I always pick females in games when given the option, which I appreciate them making it a choice. She's been great.

[Naur]

Take from my experince. I spent 30 hrs playing Alexios because I knew he would look better in amor which he does vs Kassandra imo. Watching videos before the game came out, I liked Kassandra voice better. Going into the game, I chose Alexios because if I'm going to spend over 100 hrs in a game, I like my character to look badass in amors in this type of games. Restarted over as Kassandra after 30 hrs with Alexios and could still not get into the voice over for him. Now i have over 100 hrs with Kassandra and still going strong. My opinion still stands. Alexios looks better in amor and Kassandra got the better voice. You decided which is more important. If Alexios voice actor was on the same level as Kassandra, Alexios all the way.

Alexios Master Race!
