| A couple things I really hope don't return from Odyssey Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:25 PM PDT I've been replaying Odyssey again lately, and I was forcibly reminded of a few quirks I hated. One of the worst is growing battles. I mean, when you kill a single guard in town, maybe because they're guarding an objective in a quest. Now two civilians pick up brooms and try to kill you. You kill them. Now three guards ride up out of nowhere on horses and start fighting you. You kill one, and then a bounty hunter shows up, with a lion in tow. You kill two more people, and now you've got more civilians and a dog trying to kill you. This has happened so many times for me and it is annoying every time. Your only option is running away, since if you try to run away a bit and then hide, everyone will conga line over to your hiding spot and magically "discover" you. That brings me to my next point which is the horrible bounty hunter mechanic. In Origins, it made sense. There are these powerful dudes who patrol an area, and if you cause a ruckus in those areas, they'll try to find you. But here, bounty hunters' behavior is so obviously artificial. You see the red helmet appear on your radar, and you can see them sprinting towards you... until they get within 20 meters, at which point their AI kicks in and they start walking around normally. But they always follow you, staying right at the edge of that 20 meter radius even if it means they have to walk in circles to maintain it. The AI obviously knows exactly where you are, but they barely try to paper over it which only makes it appear more artificial. This kind of turned into a rant, but in conclusion: hopefully battles won't just endlessly escalate in Valhalla because every civilian has a death wish, and hopefully there are no damn bounty hunters that always know where you are.

| PREDICTION: Assassin's Creed 1 remake will come with AC: Valhalla season pass Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:39 AM PDT There seems to be a slight trend of Ubisoft including remakes/remasters being bundled in their season passes. Far Cry 3 remaster was in Far Cry 5 season pass Assassin's Creed 3 remaster was in AC Odyssey season pass Watch Dogs 1 remaster will be in WDL season pass So assuming AC Valhalla follows suit, the Valhalla season pass will include a remake or remaster of an older AC game. All games from Black Flag forward is still too recent to be remastered. AC3 to include Liberation was recently done with Odyssey. Ezio games already had its own HD trilogy release. So that leaves AC1, the one AC game that cannot be bought on PS Store and Xbox Live to be played on PS4/Xbox One and the only pre Black Flag AC game to not have some remaster/remake/HD make over. Also considering Valhalla will bridge the gap further between the Hidden Ones to Assassins and Order of Ancients to the Templars....AC1, the first in the series will be a nice complement to AC Valhalla and possibly a great segway (for gamers like me) who became fans of AC with Origins/Odyssey who may have wanted to play AC1 but never was able to with the PS4/Xbox One. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||

| Infection probably killed more assassins than the templars ever did. Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:29 PM PDT You've got to question the intelligence of willfully cutting off a finger before the invention of toilet paper. [link] [comments] | ||
| Did they cut off the ring finger also so any Assassin wouldn't be able to wear the Templar ring? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:39 PM PDT It's been ages since I've gone through the early games and payed attention to the lore. But I know originally they cut off the ringfinger to swear loyalty to the creed and to become able to use the hidden blade, but is it also somehow related to the templars wearing their templar ring on the ringfinger, so no assassin would be able to wear the templar ring and betray the creed?

| What are you looking forward to the most in Valhalla? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 04:53 AM PDT I have loved all of the AC games black flag being my favourite and there will be something very special to do with the new one but wondering what are you looking forward to? [link] [comments] | ||
| Will Valhalla make our horse slow down to sluggish canter when going near villages and cities? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:20 AM PDT God I hope not. After just finally platinuming Origins and Odyessy, the most annoying part of it all was having my horse slow down so much so that the Mercenary I was tracking for those stupid bounties was getting further and further away (I was outside the Athens city walls during this). Hopefully devs know this doesn't make for fun content. [link] [comments] | ||

| AC4 Black Flag is a simulation? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:11 PM PDT I just bought Assasin's Creed Black Flag and to be honest I am enjoying the gameplay. One thing that confuses me though is the story. After Edward sails to a point I go to some room that appears as if it's in modern time and learn that it's an advanced simulation. I just bought the game by the way, and this is my first ever game. Can someone please tell me what is going on? [link] [comments] | ||
| I am hoping that they change the Valhalla Looting sound, agree? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:54 PM PDT I am really hoping that they changed the Looting sound from how it is now, sounding like Odyssey. It needs its own looting sound for the new game. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] | ||
| When does Ubisoft release the club rewards? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:54 PM PDT Basically my first time buying an AC at launch.. how close to the release do they release the club rewards? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:19 AM PDT So it's been established that the Apple Bayek took from Flavius is the same Apple that was unearthed in Solomon's Temple and eventually became the 'property' of Altaïr. However, we have no idea as of yet how it ended up in Solomon's Temple. What if it's in Valhalla and, as part of his personal journey, Eivor learns of his place in history; as without him the Apple would never reach Solomon's Temple, it'd never reach Altaïr, no Codex, no Ezio being able to relay the message to Desmond etc. I'm probably talking rubbish but it'd be a neat payoff from Origins and subtle way to lead into the first game.

| Asking about Item Sets in AC Rogue (original, not remastered.) Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:14 AM PDT In assassins creed rogue there are many of items which form a set, for example the British Lion Set involving the Admiral skin, Lion weapons and Morrigan Cosmetics. Is there (somewhere) a list of the combinations that fit? I ask this because there's a lot of cosmetics (eg the red and white striped sails) that don't seem to be in a set. [link] [comments] | ||
| My Ideal AC 1 Remake [rant-ish] Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:16 PM PDT hello, today i will say how i would like to see the AC 1 remake, if Ubisoft will ever make it. i will discuss the combat, parkour, and story. starting with combat Combat: let's be real the Combat has it flaws. The waiting for an enemy to strike is pretty boring. The combat should be deeper for example. quicker ways to kill enemy's but you are also at higher risk of getting counterkilled. Things like these wich give the combat a more deeper, harder experience, i think it would benefit the gameplay. and make the Hidden Blade in the crowd aspect more useful of a tactic. and more animations are always appricated that fit Altaïr parkour: i feel like this doesn't need to be touched on to much. AC 1 to revelations definitly have my favorite parkour system. the control you have over Altaïr or Ezio is amazing and really helps the gameplay. i would like to see a bit more smaller thing you can learn like vaulting, wich the player can learn through the animus. (explained way better in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ODdqAfN2Co ) Story: I would like the see this to be a bit different. so hear me out. My idea is that Altaïr has like an student assassin who is very skilled coming to Altaïr to learn even more. in the beginning you are just teaching the student to do some assassin stuff and maybe send him on a misson. and then you can play as the student the cities from assassin's creed 1 and see the templars taking power again, and then you as the student have to kills by Altaïr's order. You will use the skills Altaïr has to make your kills. I think this would be a good way of showing more of Altaïr in his later life and see his effect on the brotherhood. This maybe a bit short and not really giving a good view but i don't have a good knowlegde of english to explain it better. please give me your thoughts on this idea of an AC-1 Remake and tell me how you would like to see it.

| What dual-wielding combinations will you use in Valhalla ? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:36 AM PDT I have some ideas on what weapons I would use but would love to hear your opininons [link] [comments] | ||
| So Achilles didn't want to train Connor at first because of his feud with Haytham? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:05 PM PDT I REALLY REALLY Loved the feud between Master Assassin Achilles Davenport and Master Templar Haytham Kenway. They've been at each other's throats for decades until Achilles eventually got the win by training Haytham's son to murder him. But what i wanted to ask is.. why did Achilles refused to train Connor at first? Was it because of Haytham? [link] [comments] | ||
| What would happen if two sages met? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:17 PM PDT Yes 2 sages can exist at the same time, in fact Black Bart existed at the same the same time as another sage Thomas Kavanagh Jr. whom you learn about in letters from Black Flag, so what do you think? Do you think that they would try to kill each other, or do you think that they would talk about their memories as Aita, or maybe perhaps something entirely different? [link] [comments] | ||
| Could a Next Gen Remaster of AC Unity fix most of its issues? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:59 PM PDT While I think Unity is a jumbled mess, both technically and story wise, I started wondering if a remaster would make it the game it was meant to be. I imagine that the PS5 and XBSX have far superior hardware that can handle the larger crowds alongside even higher graphical quality. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] | ||
| Genocide, Crime, and Subterfuge in the 20th Century - Common Setting Discussions Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:00 AM PDT A common trait Assassin's Creed groups have is the constant theorizing about future settings, because historical tourism is one of the best parts of the series. This series of posts will act as a counter to my Mildly Obscure setting discussions, but rather than looking at a single point, I will be taking a broad setting that is popular and looking at several potential settings to explore within it. Today's setting is the 20th century. References and spoilers for recent comics including Bloodstone are below. World Wars I want to start with the obvious setting of World War 1 and 2. Both could contain interesting lore for sure, but I don't feel either would fit AC very well for a full title. Both wars took place all around Europe, Asia, and Africa, meaning we'd likely only experience a single theatre (Europe most likely), which has first of all been done a lot by other games like Call of Duty; and second of all the two big cities of Paris and London were shown just before the 20th century (and both games featured part of the 20th century). World War 1 is honestly inaccessible for the most part due to trench warfare. I don't deny sneaking through the trenches to assassinate a German Templar leading the other side could be fun, but I think the best way to handle the game would be to just focus on a single city like Berlin. If we see Berlin, it'd obviously be during World War 2, and Nazi Architecture would be incredible to parkour on, but the city was almost completely destroyed by the Russians, and the brutality of both wars is on a scale that I don't feel Ubisoft can truly represent. That's also ignoring the bigger elephant of the holocaust, in which the Nazi party had ghettoized millions of Jews, transported them out of the country, and put them in death camps with all other undesirables including Slavs, gypsies, and gays. On the low end they killed 6 million people, and on the high end may have killed up to 17 million. Making a game in World War 2 Berlin cannot ignore this, but I honestly would fear seeing a modern open-world AC game in Germany and the lack of respect or tact for the holocaust. Like I'd half expect that we're Kilroy, and all the concentration camps are PoI for us to clear and free the prisoners from. This setting should just be left to the expanded universe and the few rifts we already have had. Russian Revolution In the Russian Empire, Templars had been attempting to use the royal family for years. Notably, Rasputin was a Templar agent who stole a staff of Eden from Tsar Nicholas II which was mostly destroyed in the Tunguska Event at the hands of Nikolai Orlev and his accomplices. A single shard remained which Rasputin held onto, likely allowing him to survive several more assassination attempts until 1916 when he was finally killed by Felix Yusupov. In March of 1917 amidst the revolution calling for the Tsar to abdicate, Nikolai Orlev was searching for the staff, breaking into the Tsar's home in Petrograd, confronting the Tsar, and leaving after breaking the staff despite a request from Vladimir Lenin to assassinate him. Nikolai eventually found Rasputin's grave and the staff shard still on his body. Tsar Nicholas would abdicate a few days later. Despite Lenin's affiliations to the Assassins, Templars infiltrated his ranks and in November of 1917, he began the October Revolution with the intention of ending the provisional government and creating the Congress of Soviets for the Bolshevik Party. The armed insurrection began in Petrograd which split the assassins, and further split them as Templars executed Tsar Nicholas and his entire family save for Anastasia who was rescued by Nikolai Orlev who then fled to America. This was a major point that began the armed conflict between the Red Army of the Bolsheviks and the White Army of Supporters for the Russian Empire known as the Russian Civil War. During this, it appears the Assassins largely collapsed under the weight of the Templars that controlled both the Red and White army. In 1924, after Vladimir Lenin died of a sickness, Joseph Stalin rose to become the first Premier of the newly formed Soviet Union which during the course of the war conquered central Asia and Siberia. Personally, I'd rather see Imperial Russia like Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, or Catherine the Great, or Napoleon's Invasion with a focus on Moscow(1)(7).jpg) and Petrograd (St Petersburg). Prohibition US Personally, this is my favored setting for an AC game in the 20th century. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 just after the prohibition of alcohol due to pressure from Feminist and Christian groups sparking the creation of Organized Crime throughout major cities and rumrunners smuggling alcohol. By 1925 New York City had over 10,000 speakeasies to illegal buy alcohol. The Creation of the mafias led to the US federal government responding with a 3000 man task force and later creation of the FBI. In this, we have the rise of notorious gangsters like Al Capone who orchestrated the St Valentine's Day Massacre, Dutch Schultz, and Chester La Mare in Chicago, New York, and Detroit respectively. Las Vegas was just getting off its feet due to new laws relaxing the restrictions on Gambling creating new Crime bosses there. The Ohio Gang in Congress was at the heart of corruption in the Harding administration. The Pinkerton Detective Agency also continued and expanded to other countries in this time, being sent to investigate union disputes, during which Gangsters began taking control of unions for their racketeering schemes. I can't deny that it'd be fun to be able to explore the Boroughs of New York/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/63839281/GettyImages_3089399.0.jpg), Chicago, Detroit, and Vegas at the heart of prohibition (though we'd need the rope launcher again), and maybe take contracts for the crime lords, or fight against them maybe as a detective part of the Pinkertons. It'd certainly be interesting to assassinate the most notorious crime lords in American history. It would likely take more of a 3rd person shooter vibe with Tommy Guns, Shotguns, Rifles, and pistols, but I can see cane swords and Hidden Blades being useful for combat too. I feel this game would be Syndicate-Esque with maybe Film-Noir vibes, and the occasional car chase. This setting was really popularized due to the "Jazz Age Junkies" in Unity in which a character in this setting was also in contact with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Stein (famous American Writers). The Summer of Love In 1967 over 100,000 people entered the city of San Francisco to smoke pot, do psychedelic drugs, promote free love, and music as a form of protest against the Vietnam War and consumerism. I admit the era is fantastic in terms of lore potential. In 1963 JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald a Templar sleeper agent, during which JFK's driver was under the influence of a PoE which also caused the illusion of a man on the hill creating the multiple shooter conspiracy theory. The Space Race was really a contest between Assassins and Templars to get to the apple on the moon first, as Assassins largely backed US presidents (Save for a few who were tied to Templars like FDR and Truman), while the USSR was largely controlled by Templars. The CIA began experimenting massively in attempts to defeat Russia, including looking at the effects of a LSD sex house in San Francisco during the Summer of Love, and even used LSD to attempt to facilitate psychic powers including the ability to kill someone by staring at them, which was tested on Goats in the Stargate Project which attempted to "Unlock the human potential for military applications". At this time during the cold war, conspiracies and alien sightings were pretty common leading to sightings of bigfoot and Mothman for example, the latter of which allegedly caused Men in Black to harass locals in West Virginia. Perhaps a lore explanation of these phenomena and mass hysteria was Templar or Assassin experimentation with PoE and psychedelics which they would then make disappear with the alleged Men in Black. The US did experiment with the potential for weather changing technology and biological warfare via dropping bacteria and chemicals from high altitude, which gave way to conspiracies about chemtrails. While chemtrails as the modern conspiracy isn't true, the US experimented A LOT with honestly really fucked up things like incendiary bats which destroyed a military base in New Mexico; or in 1967 they scrapped the Acoustic Kitty Project where the US government implanted listening devices in cats and tried to train them to follow people and listen to conversations. Spoiler Alert, the cats refused to be trained. Though this could be an interesting skill in an AC game in this era. It wasn't just animals that were experimented on, as there were unethical human experimentations done on soldiers, criminally insane, and orphaned children across the US including testing radiation effects, injecting diseases, poor health standards, drug treatments, and of course rumors with no actual reports on attempts to create child soldiers. While this is thus far an unproven conspiracy theory, FOIA requests of FBI reports do show a potential CIA Human/ Sex Trafficking ring called the Finders from the late 80s and early 90s operating throughout the US which many conspiracy theorists were quick to point similarities to conspiracies about the current Government's and Elites' relation to pedophile rings including one at least partially operated by Jeffrey Epstein. Pair this with other real projects including MKUltra, Artichoke, and Bluebird which attempted to brainwash - sometimes with drugs and drug addiction to morphine - people to attempt assassinations and act as sleeper cells. This era in the 60s and 70s was the birth of Abstergo and the Animus program which Vidic began testing on subjects in 1980. In 2000 Abstergo's creation of a Sleeper Cell ala Daniel Cross, succeeded by having him assassinate the mentor and starting the Great Purge. Sleeper cells, spies, espionage, and subterfuge are nothing new in media and video games. Even the most recent Call of Duty game has been marketed with Yuri Bezmenov's speeches on Russian Subversion tactics in relation to a sleeper cell in America. This is to say nothing of the countless US interventions during the Cold War and later including a coup in Argentina and Chile the latter of which the US-supported Pinochet who subsequently executed thousands of political dissidents; firebombed Laos and Cambodia, supported Papa Doc who used death squads of the Tonton Macoutes in Haiti to enforce his rule, invaded the Bay of Pigs and had several attempts at assassinating Castro, and the US's support for terrorists and dictators in the middle east including Afghanistan and Iraq leading the rise and creation of cells like Al Qaeda and ISIS. I know the majority of this has been looking away from the Summer of Love, but I'm using all the conspiracies and actual projects mentioned here that actually happened during the cold war as a potential basis for what can be explored in a game in San Francisco or New York in 1967. While the game idea was only popularized due to a joke from the Simpsons later posted in AC4, the lore potential is very real. 21st Century and beyond People have been asking for a modern-day Assassin's Creed for years now, due in part to the original plan for AC3 being modern-day only or not having to use an animus to go to the past due to the bleeding effect. This luckily never came to fruition, which is good. Assassin's Creed is meant to be a primarily historical game, and a large part of the draw is historical tourism. That said, I do like the modern-day in the series, and think we should see a time jump forward to like 2030 and have the series slowly work towards that date so we can have successive games like Desmond had, rather than the disjointed nature Layla's Saga has had.
