Recent Assassin's Creeds games were supposed to be female only, until executives intervened

They were right. The games definitely would not sell as much. I certainly wouldn't buy them because they wouldn't be interesting. Assassins Creed games are based in history and historically men would would be the only members of secret societies, world leaders and world influencers in general.
Ah yes, history with cosmic events, aliens, more aliens, magical apples, and relieving ancestor’s memories via a machine.

I typically don't care, but if you're going to push your game as being somewhat historically accurate...I think Female Evior made more sense as there were some women Warriors in Viking culture.
Historians disagree on that. It's all fabricated by media and the only female viking warriors were in norse mythology.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Kassandra was only good for her particular voice acting, the same exact writing with alexios shitty voice was fucking hilarious.
Which is interesting because playing as Alexios and then as Kassandra just made her performance feel flat.
Like it's supposed to be funny but she just couldn't deliver it.
I mean even the facial expressions are funnier with Alexios and match up with what's being said and the reactions to it.
which leads me to believe it was supposed to be funny.

I associate alexios voice to a 80s porn actor.

Dual protag should been done for Origins as Aya was gone for 3/4 th the game doing behind the scenes politics with Cleopetra.
Originally Bayek was supposed to die and you would play as Aya for the last 3rd of the game, but execs didn't like that either which is why the pacing gets really weird at that point.

I'd love an Assassins Creed game with a female only protagonist, but a femme fatale not a protagonist that may as well be male and is totally interchangable.
Especially in a game about assassins ( or uh, it used to be at least.. ).
It'd be fun and a breath of fresh air instead of '' generic warrior dudebro but a girl ''.

Sorta like a female Ezio I guess but actually using being a woman as a weapon and tool ( sex is way easier for them to use ).
But nah that would never float in current day..

Tbh they should just drop the Assassins Creed name imo and just rebrand it, the whole assassin part is a complete joke at this point.
 
You know I kinda like how they played with the idea of different costumes/personas in Liberation, even if the overall game was just ok. It was female centric but not patronizingly so and fit the Assassin angle well too.
