| The Creed as a justification for female protagonists Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:07 AM PDT Recent events have occurred surrounding Ubisoft's handling of female characters, specifically solo female protagonists and the company's antagonism towards them. This has sparked a discussion regarding the validity of female protagonists in historical settings. How much does it make sense to have a female protagonist running around a particular setting centuries ago? Were there independent women in _____ time period? Any female warriors or soldiers? However, AC as a franchise already has its own justification for a female protagonist in practically any setting due to the Maxim of the Creed: Nothing is True. Everything is permitted.
What Ezio is getting at in the above quote is that most of the rules, customs, and roles within society are based on nothing. And yet we often act as though they are as immutable as gravity or death. These rules are as small as shaking hands when greeting someone, to as large as stating one group of people deserve to be treated unequally. And yet both have incredibly fragile foundations in terms of their validity. By recognizing the shakiness of these rules, people can begin to see new and different possibilities for themselves and others like them. In-universe, the Maxim of the Creed serves as a liberating saying for those treated as lesser due to something society decided, whether that's the color of their skin, the sex they were born with, etc. The rules that proclaim certain people be treated with In fact, liberating and educating both men and women has been part of the program of the Assassins for some time:
On a meta level, the Maxim serves to give the devs an in-universe justification for a female protagonist. A woman who follows the Creed could forsake the sexist mores of her culture, or at least not take said mores to be truth. Female protagonist X wouldn't be in a role like other women of her time because she would see the assigning of that role as not true. This wouldn't mean that all women would behave the same, and in fact the majority might follow the social roles. This could make for an interesting story where a female protagonist is trying to educate and inspire other women, attempting to shepherd her civilization to greater equality. Ultimately, the Maxim of the Creed allows the Assassins, and by extension the devs, to create and justify ahistorical characters in historical settings. Characters that can go against whatever social roles and rules might be assigned them because they follow the Creed. This allows a greater freedom of creativity because you don't have to worry about the social constructs surrounding your protagonist based on sex, race, etc. Your protagonist won't need real, historical examples to exist because the Creed's Maxim serves as the in-universe justification. Tl:dr: The Creed's Maxim gives license to have a female protagonist in almost any time period, regardless of the social setting. [link] [comments] | ||
| Discussion and Thoughts : Unity was a cinematic gem in the series Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:17 PM PDT This might be a bit long but i feel i should call attention to it. First things first, i wanna point out i love this series, dearly. ive been with it since the first entry and ive loved it since, flaws and all. i enjoy the new entries, and the old. However theres one game in particular i wanna focus on. Unity. yes i know i know, people say it was a buggy mess and it was rushed and unfinished. But ive started replaying it recently, for the 3rd or 4th time and it dawned on me that Unity is the closest the series has ever been to a proper, cinematic story game. Graphically speaking the game (still) looks gorgeous, and as soon as i loaded into a cutscene, the first thing that went through my mind was "holy shit, this is like the Rdr2/God of war of Assassins creed" now stay with me here, i know the comparison is alot, those 2 games are astounding pieces of art that im using in a comparison. But i mean look at how Unity is as a game, disregard the story flaws or faulty mechanics that it may have. Its the only assassins creed with the cinematic quality akin to red dead and god of war. with the almost photorealistic graphics, mixed with the slow and steady pace of the realistic character movement and combat, the quality of the animations when moving, climbing, jumping (which by the way kept the classic controls from games before it like ac3 & 4). It all feels great and it upsets me that ubisoft will never make another game in the vein of these cinematic works because of their progress in current titles. its also a shame that syndicate, while great in its own right, went for a more fast paced, bombastic, and action-y form of movement and combat. I digress, its just my humble opinion... what do yall think??? [link] [comments] | ||
| I feel bad for Arno. He really can't catch a break. Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:34 PM PDT I just finished assassin's Creed Unity after getting it a while ago and honestly, I just feel bad for Arno. He lost his father when he was young. Then he lost his adoptive father and was framed for the murder. He has no friends to speak of. His mentor and probably closest friend betrayed him and then died by his hand. Elise, who he loved for years ended up chosing revenge over him causing her to sever contact with him. Then when she re-initiates contact its because she needs his help to hunt down Germain. Only to have her chose revenge over him a second time this time resulting in her death. Honestly, feels bad man. He just can't catch a break. [link] [comments] | ||

| Did you know that William Miles has a bunker in Norway? [Spoiler of AC III, Rogue & Odyssey] Posted: 19 Aug 2020 03:18 PM PDT It's a personal hiding place, located near the city of Tromsø, which includes an interrogation room (nicknamed the White Room) and its own naval dock. William, Rebecca Crane and Shaun Hastings have been known to live in the bunker since 2013. Miles hid there between late 2012 and 2014, shortly after his son, Desmond, sacrificed himself to save the world (AC III). Knowing that Brotherhood's ship, Altaïr II, took Layla Hassan and her Assassin cell to Greece in 2018 (AC Odyssey), could they have returned to the bunker pier at some point? Everything becomes even more interesting, when we remember that Otso Berg, leader of the Sigma team of Abstergo and current hostage of Layla, has Viking ancestors, as himself stated in AC Rogue audio files... So, what are the chances of we seeing this bunker in AC Valhalla? Source: AC Initiates (dead Ubisoft website). [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:06 PM PDT I fully understand how nit picky this complaint is but COME ON. You were so close, it was a manual toggle you can do whenever and without opening up the options screen like origins and oddysey, eivor doesn't crouch when he puts his hood on and the cloak looks badass. But than they had to make it so its impossible to fight with the hood on and I'm hoping I can get agreement that fighting with a hood on in assassin's creed is usually badass, seeing a hooded up mysterious assassin be a thorough badass in combat will always give me dopamine but no. Its only for stealth which don't get me wrong is cool to have but would it have bean the end of the world if we could also fight with the thing on? Again I get how nit picky this is but is this franchise not doomed to never get hood gameplay right... [link] [comments] | ||

| Have we heard when there will be new gameplay footage for Valhalla? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:30 PM PDT Wasn't sure if there was going to be a stream coming up soon? Or if YouTubers were going to get a chance to play the game for a few hours? [link] [comments] | ||
| I just replayed Assassin's Creed Origins for the first time since it came out Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:10 AM PDT I just replayed what I'd like to call my second favorite game of all time, and it's even better than the first time I played it. I already loved this game when it came out but now I love it even more and to be entirely honest, I would have to say that this is the best AC game in my opinion. [link] [comments] | ||
| Does the brotherhood support theft? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:08 PM PDT One of the missions in AC II involves pickpocketing some cash from ordinary citizens and I'm sure there are similar objectives in other games. Not to mention in every single game we get to loot chests in the streets or in someone's house. I've also seen Bayek "borrow" a villager's boat by pushing him into water, yet there has been zero discussion in the game about theft. Are assassins totally fine with stealing from good people?

| Need help in Ac3 brawler challenge “own every weapon”? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:18 PM PDT I'm trying to complete the ac3 Boston brawler challenge and my last one is own every weapon available in general stores. After buying all the weapons the logbook was still blank. So I was wondering if that's a glitch or foo need to craft the weapons to? [link] [comments] | ||
| Rope Launcher is good and here's why Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:37 PM PDT Why am I the only one that likes the rope launcher? Its a really useful tool for Victorian London, yes the streets are wide, but thats just how it be. People hate the rope launcher because it takes away the usefulness of parkour, i find that ridiculous because its used in tandem with parkour. Then the ultimate argument people have is that it was only added in because of the setting and thats why the setting is bad. No. Guarantee that if this game was actually well written people would love the setting and the rope launcher, not understanding that it should be used in tandem in parkour and it really is used in that way is why I like it so much. The other example of something similar used to aid in parkour is the hook blade, pretty much the same concept. All im saying is that its a good gadget, in no way gimmicky, at least no more so than other gadgets in previous titles and that it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. [link] [comments] | ||
| Thinking of picking up Origins Posted: 20 Aug 2020 12:14 AM PDT On the Australian psn The base Origins is on special of $17.95. Is it worth picking up for that price? Also I haven't played since unity and didn't really pay attention to the story after 2, is there somewhere that goes over it? [link] [comments] | ||

| Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag has a ton of modern day lore! Posted: 19 Aug 2020 10:54 AM PDT I started running around the offices exploring stuff while playing AC4 and started finding some collectible sticky notes. They added little entries to my note pad and I just thought that was a really neat thing. Then came the hacking part which really expanded just how much modern day lore the developers started going into. I mean some of these data entries are literally the size of text books! Needless to say I'm very impressed and also feel just a little bad for whoever had to write all these. At some point I'd like to sit down and read through all the entries and notes I've collected. I know many people in the community don't like the modern day stuff, but I felt loading up the player with things to do around the office and loads of modern day lore to catch up on was a really good way to make the modern day stuff seem more interesting and engaging. I haven't finished AC4 yet nor have I played any AC game after AC4 so please no story-based spoilers if you want to comment and thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| Having trouble with a trophy on AC Origins Posted: 19 Aug 2020 04:41 PM PDT Trying to do the "what time is it" trophy for "the hidden ones" DLC and I can't seem to get it to work. I tried doing it at the set up time on my main save, didn't work. So I tried it on another save which also didn't work either. Anyone else had this problem or know what to do? Thanks in advance 😊.

| Possibility of a remake for AC 1 Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:59 PM PDT It was recently leaked that there will be a remake of Prince of Persia, if true and successful, Ubisoft could develop a remake of Altair's stories [link] [comments] | ||
| I dont understand the fuss about optional objectives. Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:02 AM PDT So in quite a few assassins creed reviews i have seen people complain about the optional objectives, but they are OPTIONAL you do not have to do them. People would say that while true many want that 100% completion and the optional objectives are getting in the way, but getting that 100% isnt supposed to be easy, otherwise all you would have to do it complete the game. While having the optional objectives makes the game more apealing to a wider range of people, many people want a good challenge, also a sense of accomplishment, especially when you are rewarded during and at the end of doing them. It also makes a ton of sense narratively because the character isnt going to spend 24/7 of their time working towards the main goal, I dont know if you noticed by sometimes there are years between one mission and the next, so optional objectives add more immersion to the game. I get that some people dont have the patience or attention to do them but if so then just dont do them, and ignore them. Like many say, its better to have it and not need it than it is to need it but not have it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Why did Odyssey sell better than Origins? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:19 PM PDT I just recently finished Origins and I'm very confused as to why it happened. Origins had the superior story, gameplay, cinematics, characters and how it works as constructed. Odyssey just looked like a worse copy and paste of Origins with a Greek setting, magic bullshit set up to 100 and little to no fall damage. Very confused as to why. [link] [comments] | ||

| Does Anybody Know who the Creative Directors were for Assassins Creed: Memories? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:30 AM PDT As you may or may not know, in 2014, Ubisoft partnered with silicone valley incubation internet company PlayNext and Japanese social networking company GREE inc. to create Assassin's Creed: Memories, a mobile trading card game based in the AC world... It was shit. PlayNext shut down the servers in 2015, and ever since, the lore AC: Memories has built up has only been available on the AC Wiki. However, since I'm keenly interested in AC lore, I wanted to know who was responsible for the story aspect of the game so I can attempt to reach them for some clarifications regarding the Last Days of the Taikō event. Any info you could scrounge up would be fantastic. [link] [comments] |
