This is what assassins creed should be in every game about the assassins being stealthy and deadly and mysterious not what we got in the main story of odyssey that had nothing to do with the stuff I just said

[@MTiger86]

Odyssey was more showing the start of the proto-Templars just as Origins was showing the root, the formation, of what would eventually become the Assassin Order. While agree on some parts, every story deserves a beginning/starting point which is what Origins and Odyssey is doing by showing us both perspectives of the creation of the two groups that will come to fight each other throughout time. So things will not exactly be what we want/expect, but we are getting origins stories of both. I think this will be the path Ubisoft will continue on for a few more games, building up and furthering the mythology of both groups.

One reasonable option to wearing it "upside down" is because it actually hides the blade which is why its called a hidden blade.

The aspect of concealing the blade keeps the wearer from standing out but in times like syndicate when no one wheres noticeable gauntlets its easier to spot a blade the way darius wears it.

Assassins creed should have a game on Persia.. or they really need to look into Alamut and the Hassasshin. That’s so badass

ty for the video, couldnt watch it because its was all white and only sound

By the way, Darius is the first Assassin with hidden blade. His monument also appeared in AC2 when Ezio was looking for keys to open room Altair’s armor

Imagine you have a history presentation tomorrow and you haven't done much of a research. So you make up the parts you haven't researched and then after your presentation, you realize that the entire history has been reshaped according to your presentation. That's basically your role as the player of AC Odyssey.

Md Shariful Islam 1604064 not really ive been studying Greek and Roman during my time playing this games in my college class and theyve gotten accurate portrayals in lots of areas

[@sharif47]

@@actiondropson5886 Then you didn't get what I meant. YOU are the one in charge of the presentation (as you make the choices) and the history changes according to you.

[@gamingstupid]

Md Shariful Islam 1604064 what’s so important about the history This is a video game They would rather base it off history but it’s not exactly like what actually happened They would rather do what’s more interesting Would you rather have a crap game that exactly reproduces the history Or a good game that is based on history but not step for step EXACTLY like it

[@sharif47]

@@gamingstupid you didn't get my point. Let me make it straightforward then. The very reason you can choose between Alexios and Kassandra is because animus can't decide whether it's a boy or a girl, which has nothing to do with altering the past or the present. Yet, in the end of the game, whether Alexios or Kassandra appears (in the present day) with the immortality staff depends on which one of these you chose at the beginning. To be more clear, the choices you make in the animus should not affect events outside of animus, since animus is a simulation device, not a time travelling device.

[@alexanderchristopher6237]

@@sharif47 clearly you didn't get it at all. It's a little meta here, but you're basically the historian here. You decide if it's Kassandra or Alexios. You decide what they did. But whatever choice and its consequences is considered history in-game. And given how the characters are just fictional characters in a fictional alternate history, whatever they do won't replace much that we know of history. AC franchise has all been about alternate histories with the secret Assassin-Templar war controlling the outcomes of history, like the Crusades in AC1, the wars in Italy on AC2 trilogy, the French and Indian War in AC:Rogue, the American Revolution in AC3, and certain events triggered by each side's interference in the French Revolution and Victorian England, both in Unity and Syndicate respectively. As far as the ignorant masses of today goes, we won't know anything about the Assasins and Templars in history, but as players we know about all their machinations.

[@Death_true]

The Ubisoft club quest where you visit a bunch of locations for Artaxerxes should’ve connected into this because he does live and become ruler of Persia when he goes back

Maybe.... we will play with his grandchildren... pay attention on the others videos on youtube: If you play as Alexios Neema is alive and Natakas is dead.

[@avellinkaira]

In a game built on hundreds of hours improving your character it would go against the games design to suddenly switch to another character. No, that would be a whole different game if at all. Just doesn't fit the design philosophy of Odyssey.

Darius needs his own game

[@TheRyno95]

I feel, in my personal opinion, that odyssey would have been more enjoyable and maybe more of a fan favorite if we got to play as Darius. Already in his later years after killing xerxes and now dealing with the war between sparta and Athens as he runs and hids from the order. Just a thought

[@johnniequinores887]

Darius wore the hidden blade on top of his wrist? so bayek and many other assassins lost their fingers because they wore it wrong -_-
