Playing as Kassandra feels wrong

[Raisti]

Started to play as Kassandra and i must say i am kinda dissapointed.

I am Lvl 22 so i´ve already done some Questing and its clear as Day that Ubisoft only tested with Alexios and just put Kassandra (as Playermodel) in to appeal to a broader Audience.

It starts with the Skills. On lots of Descriptions you find something like "Alexios ..."

Story wasnt checked. First time out of the Animus and on returing to the Animus they talked about "Returning to Alexios"

Romance Options as Kassandra feel very awkward since Kassandra says the same Lines as Alexios would.

Must say i am really disappointed by playing as Kassandra because Ubisoft dIdn´t put much time in this besides Creating Kassandra Model. And even for that they didnt invest much time. Kassandra looks like shes got a Male Body with a Female Head.

Why did Ubisoft even bother to put Kassandra in when it just feels like you are playing as another Dude. For a Team as big as the AC Crew i would have expected more.

Does anyone else feel the same way ??

And plz try to keep the SJW/Misogyne Attitudes out of this Thread.

Now it's correct.

That is just not true or your game bugged. Had that scene yesterday and she clearly said " i want to return to Kassandra"
Also Kassandra was the character the game was made for, playable Alexios only came into the game late in tie development circle because the marketing department panicked that the usual manbabies would not buy the game when they only could play as a "womyn".
She is the canon lore character and the story was written for her. As were all the animations, which is the reason Alexios looks like he crapped his pants when running.
Add the terrible voice acting of Alexios on top of that " i am tough guy grrrr" and no thank you.

Kassandra is superior in every way.

But of course you are free to play whoever you want.

yea, some dialogue is not right in some cases, i once got named "Söldnerin" with alexios. :)

They aren't poor, but its an extra expense that wasn't needed for their previous games, like origin. People are way to nitpicky about AAA games nowadays, They whine about the price, the microtransactions, and everything else, but if we keep downvoting all those games we probably just going to end up with only Mobile games in the future. Mobile gaming is where its at for pure profit, cheap to create, accessible to more players and alot of them earn more money than AAA games, so why spend years and millions of dollars to create next gen games if players are always dissatified.

full agree

Yeah it's the opposite, they added Alexious during development

that and Alexios voice acting compared to Kassandra is just horrible bad...

And he made a more believable "Spoiler" cu***** than Kass. No way i would play Alexios as a main protagonist it just doesnt work for me.

Alexios is just a placeholder. His protagonist storyline is not even canon for AC.
That alone is good enough for me to play as Kassandra. Else I8 feel like Im playing some modded game.

he is not a placeholder, he is a choice. Many of what is in the game is not canon, only what is in the book is canon.

Who the f***k gives 2-sh***t about AC books? They are side products on par with that crap incarnate movie. Only thing you should consider canon are main characters story in games. From Evie to Altair they exist and their stories changed the world around them.

With Alexios, you exists only as Deimos, end of the story. Its all like a dream, an animus effect that never actually exist. We will most likely hear of Kassandra if a sequel wants to cameo us with assassins from older games like Revelations did, but we will never, ever hear of Alexios again.

lol the story of the game is told in books/comics, they literally killed off the main atagonist of the games in the comics. And they have linked Origins and now Odyssey to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ movie.

So yea as much as I dislike the "other media", Ubisoft has not only made them canon but needed to the understanding of the plot. Which is terrible

what i wrote was stated by the game director of odyssey, he said the book is the canon story, not the game, the game has choices and different endings and only 1 choice for different quests and 1 ending is canon, and that is what is contained in the book.

As i already wrote, alexision is a choice for the player for RPG reasons according ot the developers.

i do not agree with the guy in the video but i linked the video because it provides the source for the canon matter.

Really ? For me it doesnt feel that way because of all those Hiccups.
Maybe i am just nitpicking :D
Thats why i wanted other Opinions on that :D

Kaz is canon, that male version was just an option for people that dont like a musculine woman, a spartan LOL

Not everyone wants to play a woman, there's no shame in that. Me, I was really looking forward to playing another rpg with a female protagonist, it feels like a long time since I've had one (since Mass Effect Andromeda maybe?). I can't fault anyone for preferring to play one gender over another - we all connect to characters differently.

And yet the lore revolves around Kass not Alexios dang lol
