I actually don't think I've made any death threats towards Ubisoft. No serious ones anyways.

(Honestly I was thinking of amending my post with an 'OF COURSE I'M JOKING' - maybe I should have)

As it is, it is just an expression of my frustration that Ubisoft's character balance schews painfully masculine and female characters frequently do not seem to get the time and effort put into them that the male characters do. Evie being sidelined proves this once again. Why is the 50-50 split so scary to Ubisoft? I genuinely don't understand :s

And Evie dying at the end of Syndicate would just be retreading the same old ground - female character dies, providing the final narrative push for the male character to achieve his goal and then live his life. It's unfair and frankly, boring. If Jacob dies and Evie lives on, I will rejoice, because it'd flip the goddamn perspective for once. Although I might still shed a tear over Jacob's dead body, depending on how much I got attached to his character. We'll see. Point being, I hope Ubisoft subverts expectations for once and decides to take a risk.
