    The current Modern Day and Layla are a mess because it was written by different writers, in each AC, instead of the same MD writer, with a single vision

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:24 AM PDT

    The current Modern Day and Layla are a mess because it was written by different writers, in each AC, instead of the same MD writer, with a single vision

    AC needs a singular writer for the continuous story that is Modern Day, or a lore master. With Desmond he too had different writers, but the first 3 games of is 5 games, had the same ones and the same director, Patrice Desillets. By the 4th game, with Darby, his character was set..

    Desmond had the benefit of having his character mostly established when the writing staff changed

    But let's analyze the RPG trilogy's modern day, what is wrong and what could have been done instead, IMO, if written by a singular writer, with a singular vision.

    **ORIGINS - The Original Modern Day establishes this: Layla is interested in archeology (**that's cool). Layla works for Abstergo (this is an opportunity for character development but requires re-writing)

    Layla suffers from chronic pain (this is an opportunity for character development, goes nowhere, needs to be rewritten), Layla found Bayek's DNA and is researching it (this is major problem and needs to be rewritten. Just finding DNA and reviewing makes the modern day character useless. Being a descendant is way more important to the story, otherwise why have Layla and not a different person each game),

    Layla has her friend killed by Abstergo and has to kill Abstergo guards (I would eliminate this) and Layla is recruited by William Miles (this is a major problem and needs to be re-written, happens too early.). Also Juno's plotline would be restored, finishing that arc in the trilogy.

    Layla had potential but the time jump in Odyssey and some rushed writing in Origins kinda threw it away, imo, along with some personality issues (too non serious..)

    ORIGINS MODERN DAY RE-WRITE, based on some pre-existing concepts of mine, and also the already discussed concepts present in Origins, some of them abandoned, changing and expanding, all adapted to this:

    Layla, as stated in Origins**, suffers from chronic pain**, so in this re-write, she'd seek an Abstergo clinic which triggers their red alert**.** They finally found the person they were looking for, the descendant of Bayek and more.

    So she's cured by Abstergo, by their Medical CEO, who then offer her a job reviewing Bayek's life, not telling her she is his descendant.

    LAYLA WOULD BE BAYEK'S DESCENDANT INSTEAD OF JUST SOMEONE THAT HAD FOUND HIS DNA. SEPARATED BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS, THIS WOULD GET THEM MUCH CLOSER, AS HE WOULD BECOME A SORT OF TEACHER TO HER, LIKE EZIO WAS TO DESMOND, KNOWING OF HIS FUTURE IMPORTANCE IN AC REVELATIONS

    ​

    He hopes she will become a templar as he develops a daughter father relationship with her, as she ocasionally trains outside of the animus to reveal her amazing bleeding effect and animus retention skills.

    Everything calm and slow and it seems, for the unitiated, that the templars are the good eyes, until she figures it out the truth about being a descendant of Bayek, after having her animus hacked by Juno (becase Juno knew about her other lineage and its value).

    And escaping Abstergo in a now finally frantic mission, as she has her first leap of faith of Abstergo's rooftop, after being chased by Abstergo's guards and the Medical CEO.

    Abstergo would be portrayed in Origins in a very empathetic light. Saviors of Layla, wolfs in sheep's clothing, tricking those not in tune with AC lore.

    He begs her to stay, her jump signaling how she is now fully skilled, now dedicated to finding more about her lineage and the assassins creed.

    Combat in modern day missions should be mostly hand to hand based or with Layla using arrows, due to bleeding effect. No swords like Odyssey. Regarding guns, either something like AC3 or actively have a story reason for why Abstergo agents use sticks or even arrows, because they don´t want to kill Layla.

    If you'd fail she'd be killed yes, but the agents would scream No, she wasn´t supposed to be killed! or something, because Abstergo wants to explore her lineage more, but not only that, because the Abstergo Medical CEO doesn´t want to kill her, as he grew to like her as a daughter. So, yeah. Problem solved.

    PERSONAL COMMENTARY: There are fundamentally two major conflicts that you can explore within a character, imo.. Conflict with society and with nature.

    Society in terms of analyzing its injustices, commenting about politics or philosophy, etc. With nature in terms of humanity's place in the universe, more metaphysical questions and nature's brutality .

    A character that deals with both, becomes wiser, like Layla here would (creed - conflict with society. Chronic pain and Isu - conflict with nature). And that is the goal here. To turn a defeated Layla to a wise freedom fighter.

    ODYSSEY - After Origins, Layla becomes a vigilante, dedicated to help people, then she gets recruited by the assassins, who were now aware of her and her lineage, due to Shaun hacking Abstergo's database, knowing that she is not only a descendant of Bayek... but also Kassandra.

    Kassandra in this game would be rewritten to be the founder of the Order of Ancients (proto-templars)

    She finds she is a descendant of Kassandra, founder of the templar order in this version and continuing the investigation into Juno and her instruments, a new order, rival to both orders..

    The Cult of Kosmos would actually be turned into the Cult of Juno with Kassandra creating the Order of Ancients to defeat them, as she would, but with a bitter ending as she'd lose control of the Order, accidently creating the Templars.. An order created for good by her but with time becoming oppressive and totalitarian, expanding beyond their initial goal to defeat the Cult.

    Alexios would be in the game, as the founder of the Cult of Juno, as he would be described as someone attempting to revive Juno then.

    And Alexios would be rewritten to be the founder of the Cult of Cosmos, or rather, Cult of Juno. The cult would be one of devotion to Juno, wanting to revive her, restoring that plotline.

    ​

    With Bayek's creed, and with Kassandra's (the sole protagonist in Odyssey, with a defined story) teachings, she'd go to the final game in the trilogy, fully aware of Juno and her instruments, ready to fight.. Odyssey would be a mirror to Origins, being the origins of the templars. Oh and of course, none of that "Assassins fight for chaos", because Assassins don´t fight for chaos, they oppose it, just like Templars.

    ROME/VALHALLA: Regardless of the setting you'd choose (I'd personally choose Rome as it makes more sense trilogy wise), in this game Layla would explore the memories of an ancestor hidden one, Roman or viking, that had found an artifact or temple capable of stopping Juno in the Modern Day and her instruments, the climax of the franchise.

    I think it would make more sense for the trilogy to end in Rome, but it's not absolutely necessary.

    She'd arrive at this game being a descendant of two of the most important warriors in history, that created the two factions of AC, having learned from both creeds, philosophically.

    Valhalla could work too, with a viking setting, connecting the Hidden Ones with the Assassins

    In this game we'd get regressions to Isu times as Layla would find out she is a descendant of Eve herself, knowing more about Juno through Eve's memories, explaining her animus retention skills and near perfect bleeding effect and finding the artifact needed to stop her through the Roman's memories. This would place Layla as the most important assassin of all times. We would also find Desmond in the Grey, much like Desmond found Clay Kazmareck in the animus database.

    Who is Eve's descendant would be another answer resolved.

    In this game I'd have Layla attempt unity with the templars, due to her past friendship with the Abstergo Medical CEO. But it would be revealed that he was actually a member of the Instruments of Juno, which were comprised of former assassins and templars, their leader, the man that had saved her, with Layla finally killing him, ending the main plot of the Assassin's Creed Saga, defeating Juno's revival.

    Juno's revival would only be another manipulation by the leader of the Instruments, as his true intent would be to steal her power and become the ultimate Templar Leader, and wanting to punish her due to perceiving the Isu as cruel Gods (here the theme of Gnosticism would be present), wanting to avenge humanity for being their slaves for thousands of years.

    Help with AC Historical Settings Research

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 06:59 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I am a researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast (Australia). I posted a 15-minute survey a week ago to investigate the historical settings in video games and got some great responses, thank you so much. The survey will be open for one more week and the more responses the better for the research, so I wanted to post one last reminder. The survey will ask you some questions about your perceptions of historical accuracy and historical authenticity in the Assassin's Creed series.

    I am also an Assassin's Creed player. I have completed every 'main' game, except for Liberation, with my favourites being Revelations and Origins. Revelations got me right in the nostalgic feelings and I have always loved Ancient Egypt. Legal/researcher information, consent, and protocols are on the first page of the survey. If you have any questions or comments, please post a comment here or email me (the email addresses of the research team are on the first page of the survey).

    Thanks again to everyone who has and will do the survey.

    I posted this reminder yesterday, but didn't make the title clear enough so it got removed. So sorry about that and hope this clearer.

    [Spoilers] Will Lagos effect final ending?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:27 PM PDT

    Ok so I just finished the quest with Lagos, and since I unknowingly killed the Monger publicly I had to kill Lagos. Without spoiling any future quests/plotlines can someone tell me if this will make it so I can't get the good ending? I know there's 9 possible endings and I want the good one but don't know if it's possible now. I don't want to google it because I know there will be spoilers. Thanks!

    [Question] Will ACIII: Remastered ruin ACIV: Black Flag for me since it was enhanced?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:35 PM PDT

    (No, Spoiler Please) I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed II and want to play the whole series in order of released date but the original/classic Assassin's Creed III was pulled out on steam.

    So my main question is, Does this Remastered gonna ruin the experience of Black Flag for me in terms of Graphics and Gameplay?

    For Example: I played the first Bioshock Remastered then go to Bioshock 2 (Original) which is older in terms in graphics. Would that be the same case on ACIII:R to ACIV:BF?

    After sequence 2 I go through the animus thing where players run while it loads your game. It says "downloading, 12 percent" in the corner of the screen. However, it never goes past 12% and I can only go back to the main lobby. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    Arena battle in AC Valhalla

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 09:26 PM PDT

    So we all have the score album called "Out of the North" right, so there is a score named "Holmgang" so I searched about this score's tittle and got some results in Wikipedia.

    So I am copying some content from wiki:

    Holmgang is a duel practiced by early medieval Scandinavians. It was a legally recognized way to settle disputes.

    Anyone offended could challenge the other party to holmgang regardless of their differences in social status. This could be a matter of honor, ownership or property, demand of restitution or debt, legal disagreement or intention to help a wife or relative or avenge a friend.

    In gameplay trailer we saw someone named "Kjotve the Cruel" in a duel like environment surrounded by people around in Norway(Scandinavian) like environment. See the duel at 5:36 in this video: https://youtu.be/8JOB9DDhwFs

    Here is an image of what I found to a duel in Viking age:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Johannes-flintoe-egil-skallarimsson.jpg

    This means that there will be disputes in the story which will cause arena like battles so we can expect something similar to arena battles in Valhalla.

    I think that in England too the people opposing to invasion of Danes will end up dueling at some point in the map of the game.

    Can I make AC Origins camera turn faster?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 12:34 PM PDT

    Not sure if there's a better sub for a question like this so if there is if someone could point that out to me I would appreciate.

    I'm fairly new to games (only played some of the older AC games) and I just got Origins and I'm having a lot of trouble as it's pretty different.

    My main issue is that the camera turns EXTREMELY slowly so far. I use the arrow keys to turn the camera as I find that easiest. Is there a way to speed that up?

    Started playing Odyssey last week - had some questions

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 01:35 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I realize I'm like a year+ late to the party but I just got the game this steam sale and have completely fallen in love with it. I have some 20 pics that my grand kids are going to see one day and Kassandra is my favourite AC character, maybe even beating Ezio (because recency bias).

    I'm quite a few hours in, currently lvl 30 and just finished episode 6 - Perikles/Democracy falling. Given how fast the last 2 episodes flew by, I'm a bit concerned - am I going too fast with the story? Some examples to show my concern -

    • I've not yet visited the arena
    • I'm only done with 30-40% of the cultists
    • I've not visited areas like Achaia/Boeotia which have cultist clues (I thought the main quest would have got me to visit these places by now)
    • I'm only a lvl 6 merc
    • I feel like I've only explored 40-50% of the map.

    Basically I'm worried I'll finish the main quest line and then just have to run around doing side quests etc instead of approaching it more holistically.

    Sorry for the long wall of text but any help would be appreciated. I'm looking for a good value/fun-maximizing strategy from Odyssey veterans.

    Genetic memories on animals and inorganic memories in AC franchise

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 03:14 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I was thinking about something that had been running through my head for a while. In the first Assassin's Creed, Warren Vidic alludes to the fact that animals also have "instincts" and therefore that they too have genetic memories.

    In Origins, Layla Hassan speaks in an email, that it is highly possible that there are memories located at a subatomic level, from inorganic compounds.

    I wanted to know if there were other references on these themes, and if there are traces that Abstergo has already used the Animus on animals and minerals.

    I thank you in advance.

    Is there a way to consistently vault over objects in Origins

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 02:13 AM PDT

    • The Vaulting mechanic was tutorialized at the very beginning of the game but it never seems to trigger while freerunning through the citites, so far movement feels like a more passive element of gameplay when you compare it to the previous titles. I'm loving the game so far but i really wish there was some actual parkour here. I miss being able to vault over objects and go in to assassinate, the only way to stealth kill enemies even footing seems to be to crouch up behind them or wait in bushes

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Theory Regarding the Epilogue) - Desmond's Story

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:25 PM PDT

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Theory)

    "Only she remains to be found. Awaken the sixth."

    Reference: https://youtu.be/F5DU8l4dgRc

    This is the closing line of Assassin's a Creed: Brotherhood. For years, this quote confused, and I honestly forgot about it until a recent playthrough of the Ezio trilogy. Anyway, I think I've finally 'solved' it. Though it's more than likely that someone else already figured this out, I wanted to share my revelation with you anyway.

    So...

    'She' most likely refers to Minerva, who we meet 'guarding' the device held within the Temple we call HQ in AC3. It could also refer to Layla Hassan, who seems to be Ubisoft's current over-arcing protagonist for the series. However I don't think that the story directors planned that far in advance. It's also entirely possible that this was a tease of a plot thread that was later dropped in story revisions following Brotherhood's release. I'm of a mind that it referred to Minerva though.

    'Awaken the sixth' likely refers to the Isu peripheral sense; 'knowledge' - which, in you were unaware, was purposefully withheld from humans when the Isu created us, in a presumable effort to keep early enslaved humans unable to use Isu technology, such as Pieces of Eden, and revolt. Obviously, this didn't stop humanity from declaring war in the long-run, but it probably delayed the Isu's defeat.

    Anyway, I thought that it was likely that Desmond has this elusive sixth sense, as a result of his breeding/lineage, but it remains dormant or otherwise unattainable at that point in the story - hence the use of the word 'awaken'.

    What do you guys think?
