Only one way to make a baby

[Problem Solver]

Ubisoft is not trying to stop you from having a Gay character. The story is about creating an heir to carry on the bloodline. There is only one way to do this: It is the same today as it was 2200 years ago. Two men cannot have a child together nor can two women have a child together. You have to "jump the fence" to make it happen. Your character can still continue to be gay, straight or bi or however you choose them to be. So stop the Phony Outrage. To Ubisoft: Keep making the content fun and enjoyable. I am having a great time with the game

Kro32. In the 200 hours you spent in the game other than this one incident did you have a lot of fun? Ubisoft apoligized for it. I also got about 200 hours in the game. Playing second character now to see the opposite reaction of the choices i made in the first playthrough.

in most cases homosexuality wasnt the same than today in ancient Greece: men could be gay on monday morning, and have a normal family life with their wife and children in the evening. It's usually seen as exclusive today, but it wasnt like that for most gays in ancient greece, in which it was seen like a normal social behaviour (especially Athens).

So it is an out-of-the-game explanation and not a desire that was expressed by the main character? I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything important because the "apology" said that the main character realized their own mortality and wanted to preserve the bloodline but I saw zero mention of any of this in game (which also wouldn't make sense for Kassandra in my game since she already finished the Pythagoras quest line).

Of course I did and I certainly got my money's worth.

I also believe that companies should be called out when they make these types of errors otherwise they will continue to do it because they think it doesn't bother anyone.

I am sure that because of our "outrage" that they will be more careful with their writing in the future so that is a positive thing.

It's like their hunter nerf.

Who in the world makes a major gameplay change like that for "balance" in a single player game, 3 months after people have spent that time farming equipment to make their perfect build?

Who exactly were they balancing it for?

These types of things should always be called out no matter what the game is because they are stupid.

I think there is a mention of bloodline Bee. It was the reason Pythagoras and Myrrine had Kassandra and Alexios

The child-rearing discussion not taking place in-game in earnest aside - whether due to Kass's and/or Natakas's honest wish for having one or following through with their elders' breeding scheme - I think there's a couple further issues with how the thing is presented. Compare how the "stay"-decision plays out, at 1:38:

to the "Farewell"/staying silent decision, at 10:20:

Fair to say, I can definitely see why players that want to maintain some detachment from the husbando by way of that second choice would feel rather deceived by how that plays out. If I had to pick in that regard, I suppose the "stay"-decision is barely tolerable in comparison - of course, there's the moment in the moonlight also present there which has a certain sap-factor, at 2:36:

To the players who dont like Natakas, it is a forced marriage.

Is this primarily and action game? How did your romance choices before this affect anything? Just some view you had of a fake charcter? I guess I'm glad people are passionate about somethin. Maybe, I don't know confused game fake weird Be yourself and a good person and who cares I didn't identify with these charcters but i killed a lot of fake people and stole fake ♥♥♥♥ good time

dont off-topic this.
You know what's going on.
This is a forced relationship, a forced marriage.

For those who doesnt like natakas they dont have any other choice but to play along.

The backlash is justified, unless the dev gave them option to choose partners.

It would have been less painful if it was anyone other than Natakas.

I wanted to stab him in the throat in every scene he was in.

Then I'm forced to fall in love with him?

And to those saying it was a forced marriage or arrangement that is BS because she clearly is portrayed as having feelings for him.

Blahhhhhh, gross.

Or, alternately, properly discuss it. And even take such a potential "unhappy marriage"-aspect into account.

that is not off topic at all and you started to write about a marriage, i dont remember a marriage in the dlc and if there were non and the dlc never told you that there were one then they are not married.

"to the players who dont like natakas"
Im refering to the players there.


"To the players who dont like natakas, it is a forced marriage"
It illustrates a forced option presented to the players, where they only have "yes" and "yes" to choose from. For those who dont like that idea from the start, it is not a pleasant gaming experience.

Natakas would not have been my choice for kassanda either, but the DLC is called legacy of the first blade. And this game takes place in time before origins. So i would say this baby is the one to fill the gap between odyssey and origins.
