People are ragging on odyssey’s dialogue system saying that that is not how the animus works. BUT! The modern day has dialogue choices too. It is not Layla choosing anything, it’s the player choosing what actually happened in their game. It is not the actual canon of the AC universe but it is canon in their game. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I GOT SPOILED ON THIS SO IF YOU HAVEN’T STARTED FATE OF ATLANTIS LEAVE
If you choose Alexios you will see Alexios in your game right? So that just means that you are deciding your personal game canon like Fallout or Elder scrolls or anything with dialogue choices. I personally ignore the novel it is NOT canon to me. KASSANDRA SHOULD KILL HER DAD HE SUCKS! He threw 2 children off a cliff so why should he be forgiven? Anyways yeah Layla isn’t choosing what kassandra says this is confirmed in A. The first civ ending and B. That time you get to play as Deimos and Layla doesn’t want to do the choice that you pick at least if you pick to beat the crap out of the dude.
TLDR Layla doesn’t choose the player chooses what happened in the past. Also Nikolaos should die he’s terrible.
