Well I was actually quite happy with this short - Evie got a decent amount of screentime, though I wish she'd get the chance to narrate something as well. Anyways, the only thing that the short sort of botched was when at the end they ask you to join them and some dude says yes - I think they should've just cut it off at the "are you read to join us?"

As for a DLC with Evie, who knows. Hopefully. Since Syndicate has been in development for at least two years, Evie as a concept would have already existed, so to call her a reaction by Ubisoft to avoid criticism is a bit cheap imo. That "crying and raging" was also justified in a sense, as Ubi doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to female protagonists; there's too little of them, and when they do have them they aren't marketed properly. I agree that the "women are too hard to animate" got blown out of proportion though.

What do you mean by the "I'm also worried because it's Ubisoft and the "historical" genre"?
