Alexios is such a baby. I spent over 200 hours in a main game and half of Fate of Atlantis DLC (yet). And I just cannot imagine Kassandra being a cannon anymore. He is a jokester, he is menace, he is a brute and he is a softy. Especially in the scenes with Phoibe and Myrine, he just fits there better. The way he can scream at his enemies, slay the ones he is supposed to. And the next moment he is crying over Phoibe…. It’s just priceless. Michael Antonakos did a fantastic job at bringing Alexios’s to life. Odyssey should not have a protagonist option imho. The fact Kassandra appears in Valhalla is one thing, but the Odyssey book is also written from Kassandra’s POV, which is hard to read and…. Just doesnt sit right with me after spending so much time with Alexios, seeing the story from his perspective.

His delivery in cinematics (the fully mocapped ones) is so good. His actor also does a damn fine Batman in Gotham Knights. I like Kassandra's performance a lot, but I don't see (and/or hear) what a lot of people do with her. She definitely gets outshined by Alexios in more than a few pivotal story moments (particularly the scenes concerning Phoibe in the main quest).

The 'Protagonist' For Odyssey, regardless of gender, is supposed to be a disowned child. One who was taken in by parental figures then taught to fend for themselves as a mercenary. This in standard storytelling produces the rougish archetype; Such as Han Solo, Jack Sparrow... Or to be very close to the mark, Achilles. There is no doubt in my mind that Alexios was supposed to be the played sibling. A cocky, charismatic figure who's used to talking their way into contracts and out of problems. While Kassandra is, to be blunt, all the potential without the privates. This naturally creates a chip on their shoulder. Which makes them direct, ambitious, and quick to anger. Anyone with even a semblance of writing experience will see what voice actor was given what direction for what role. And that somewhere early in production, the narrative shifted to both siblings being playable, but the direction of character personality didn't.. They were simply given the same lines.

I finally got a chance to play Odyssey for the first time this winter and since I knew Kassandra appeared later on, I decided to play as her. It was fun and she suited some scenes perfectly but I was also getting quite annoyed with her voice, so much that I didn't even start any of the dlc's with her. It was dull, some dialogue options which looked fun came out sounding really mean and her expressions were lacking. So I started a 2nd playthrough with Alexios this time around and it's WAY better, like he actually is funny and he's expressive when Kassandra wasn't. As much as I like Kassandra and love her in some scenes, Alexios simply suits this game better, both in terms of voice and facial expressions, nevermind the historical accuracy, since let's be real that's not the only thing they got wrong but then again history is merely an inspiration here.

Alexios' voice acting isn't bad at all, clearly they've never played the game as Alexios before. A voice takes some getting used to, take Roshan from Valhalla and Mirage. Sounds like a 50 year old chain smoking woman from the Simpsons, I couldn't bear hearing it until Mirage lets you get used to it. People just didn't like the sound of the voice, it has nothing to do with the voice acting. Alexios was way better at sounding intimidating and cocky than Kassandra.

Honestly I think Kassandra is a great canon character just not enough energy as the actress put into the character as she should've. However in my personal opinion ubisoft should've probably done it as another Jacob and Evie game. Play as two different characters with different stories until they both intertwine with each other somehow. And I think if the plot twist were to happen it would be where you have to choose who dies as the final sacrifice until one of them becomes the main character of the story further. At least that's something I would've hoped happened.

Isn’t there a way where Ubisoft can update AC Valhalla and add Alexios as an optional character to appear in that one DLC.

Alexios died at the end of odyssey ( canonically) so no Alexios is dead

Of course they can but they won't.. Just skip that quest, it's not even part of the main game. It was added on much later. It means absolutely nothing it's just fan fair.

@@Twilight24682Bro no one cares. Mass effect male shepherd is canon, yet throughout all the games if you select a female shepherd, it is persistent because the developers actually care about people's choices. Ubisoft doesn't they just want to push diversity.

@Joseph-wh5of You can still play male character dude how is that not caring about choice in origins aya was meant to be a playable character but they didn't do that and had beyek playable instead that is taking away people's choices not making a character canon

I like Kassandra more but Alexios is my main and headcanon protagonist for me

Yesss finally. I loved Alexios my than Kassandra for all the reasons your told. His voice actor but in a lot more effort to emotion.

Yeah Alexios definitely takes the win as MC of Odyssey. I played as Kassandra at first but I genuinely did not find anything likable about her even after I completed the game. I replayed as Alexios and I just fell in love. He actually feels like someone who was raised by Markos, and his friendlier vibe is something I could see getting him points with kids like Phoebe too. He's a silly man that fits with the silly and fantastical story of Odyssey.

I'm still kinda bummed that Kassandra is canon and Alexios isn't. Nothing against Kassandra. She's cool but Alexios is just a bit better. If one is canon and the other isn't, what's the point of having the choice in the first place? I think Alexios is the better protagonist and Kassandra is the better Deimos. At least the encounter with her in Valhalla is optional and skippable. Hopefully it stays that way. But I'm not holding my breath.

One interesting point is that in the spanish version of the game, Alexios voice actor is the same as Matthew Mcconaughey’s, which has also some Ancient Greece vibes.

@YoungSweezyАй бұрын
When the game came out, i thought Alexios was canon, because he was on the promo posters everywhere. I was quite shocked to learn Kassandra is canon instead of him. Also he strikes me as more appealing for reasons explained in your video. I think his voice actor did a good job and he is more expressive than Kass. But i a little bit regret i didnt go with Kass just because she looks more badass in the greek armor.
@maxm.m.7219Ай бұрын
I think it's because Kassandra's voice actress was focusing on trying to sound more authentically Greek, whereas Alexios' voice actor, while doing the same thing, also purposely tried to sound like Ezio Auditore (his own words).

my biggest issue with having Kassandra show up in Valhalla and not Alexios, is that it defeats the purpose of getting to choose who you play in Odyssey...if only one of them is canon in the overarching story, don't give us the second option .-. I also genuinely enjoyed Alexios, the scene where he goes to meet Myrrine killed me. The silence and the facial expressions are great imo, but I think he comes across as a little "underplayed" and maybe that's why I like him. As someone who also doesn't wear my heart on my sleeve and act out dramatically, I think I read him perfectly well and relate. I watched Kassandra's scene and it didn't hit nearly as hard. Alexios' face told of grief and pain and heartache, as well as relief and joy and love. Kassandra was just happy to see her mom.
@Joseph-wh5of15 сағат бұрын
The only reason Kassandra is canon is because the devs felt the need to force a female character to be the protagonist. Kassandra does not fit the protagonist in this game at all, and it shows.

It genuinely feels like Alexios was supposed to be the protagonist. Kassandra as a villain is just so much more intimidating than Alexios as a villian. And Alexios as a protagonist not only makes more sense generally but acting wise he's so much better at playing the hero.

Him and male Eivor were literally the covers Ubisoft was just doing damage control by claiming Cassandra & female Eivor were protagonists
@dipanjansaha153913 күн бұрын
Very much agree. Developers intented to design Cassandra as the more suitable one but it yet wasn't. There are so so many scenes and moments where Alexios just naturally triumphs. Firstly, all comedy scenes sound much funnier with Alexios. And then the action scenes, greatest example of which was that scene in Legacy of the first blade where he saves Darius and says " if it's me you are looking for, here I am" , was scary with Alexios, barely had any impact as Cassandra. The other great scene is the introduction video with Brasidas where they fight together. Looks so fitting with the 2 male characters. And there are many more. It's been very depressing playing Odyssey and Valhalla as male protagonists seeing these games were forcefully made for the female characters.

I always felt more of a connection to Alexios than Kassandra. I played both and I struggle to beat the game as her. There’s nothing wrong with Kassandra as a character, I just think Alexios is more relatable. Not because he’s a man, but his sarcasm and his free spirit and monotone responses are literally me. I felt that they just added her to people please. However I never felt that they made a compelling female protagonist in AC. Making her canon was a mistake in my humble opinion, and it doesn’t feel natural. I hope one day we get a compelling female protagonist that don’t feel out of place.
