Alexios or Kassandra?

[Isiforo.s]

What did you chose? I'm just curious. Kassandra seems to be the actual canon Character but most people seems to be play as Alexios acording to the Ubisoft statistics.

oh please... *rolls eyes* keep the wokeness out of it.

Why?
We all know that "wokeness" is a major factor in game design this days, for better or worse, usually the latter.

This is true, BUT...
Ubisoft businessmen always tried to stop the devs to use female protagonists, they forced the inclusion of Jacob in AC Syndicate, they changed Aya as main character for Bayek and they forced this "are you a boy or a girl?" thing in Odyssey.
They think that a female in the cover wouldn't sell well enough (wtf?), and this is something you can find on the internet.

Thanks. And I'm going to stay as Alexio because I absolutely love his German voice. It's fantastic.

Ja ich liebe seine deutsche Stimme auch einfach der Hammer passt wie die Faust aufs Auge vorallem wenn er Malaka sagt

I play as Kassandra, mostly because Alexios sounds like he's talking through a mouthful of peanut butter that he can't get off the roof of his mouth. Or Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III, after getting clobbered by Clubber and losing Mick all in the same half hour.

Kassandra: Looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

Alexios: Lofthks nliek ayup ickdab addaytoso stopsni fligoo.

Hyperbole, aye.

Yeah,but true. Kassandra sounds like a person, Alexios sounds like a parody.
A " i am a badass grrr" kind of overacting.

Kassandra just feels more subtle and has this slightly amused/sarcastic tone in a lot of conversations that just works great.
While Alexios always sounds like someone pis.sed in his cereal that morning.

Yeah, no, Kassandra sounds super manly and bad, I will take the goofy Alexios over that any day. For the little of samples I listened to before picking one and after reading this thread, it seems like they just wrote this game for a male lead and then hired a female to also read the same lines with the same tone and everything like they are interchangeable widgets, it makes her performance very unbelievable to me. And I always prefer female V in cyberpunk, but she is actually well acted unlike this.

Haha, this thread is still alive. Amazing.

I still feel Kassandra is the best fit, and her voice sounds very natural to me. But V in Cyberpunk 2077's voice actress sounds very forced and off. Weird how everyone likes different things.

Very interesting! We all see the world through our own lenses which we cannot remove.

I prefer Kassandra. Doing a playthrough with Alexios now, but sometimes he really has a dumb look on his face and overall he looks a bit like a fashion store worker in armour. Kassanra looks more badass and believable and indeed the voice acting is good as many have pointed out.

Kassandra

[trevel]

Kass. Better realized, better voice acted by a mile. Alexios looks crossyeyed for some reason.

There are some forger mods that will take care of that problem. I don't mind Alexios look so much as the protagonist but it really doesn't fit him when he is Deimos. A bad guy with a pretty boy hairdo and a Miami Vice 5 o'clock shadow doesn't really cut it, So I gave him Leonidas' hair and beard but in jet black and now he looks like this whenever I play. Now THAT is what a bad ass bad guy should look like.
