I am interested in seeing iltani in an AC game so I’d go with that option.
It’s from the Korfu quest as mentioned above but im pretty sure it’s only available as a transmog, though I may be wrong.
Hi All, I hope you’re all well.
Im just having a curiosity moment and wondered if there are any sources/tweets/interviews etc where Ubisoft explains why they decided to retcon the lore in AC Origins? I just can’t wrap my head around their exact reason for doing this. Thanks!
I took the “you look familiar” as a joke that Ubisoft put in the game because they knew we would all wonder how the hell Reda is in Valhalla and hasn't aged a day
Considering he collects mysterious artefacts. I think it's more likely that he has a piece of eden that is keeping him alive and unchanged. He has no signs of being a sage. (veins on his neck/Heterochromia)
Some actually like both *points at myself*
I like both the old and the new games 🤷🏻♀️ I have been re-playing them all in chronological order and there are some things from the newer games that I miss in the older games, and some things in the older games that I miss in the newer games.
Assassins Creed 1. Been here since the beginning
I can catch odd words and sentences but most of the time I am just like “what is she saying” lol
What does she say to Gunnar at the wedding? You know I’m gonna be asking you to translate everything she says now right lol
@GarethE1998 oh I can’t, it sound like a mix of different varieties of Welsh and English to me. Although I can read/speak some Welsh I am not completely fluent.
It would be interesting to find out exactly what she is saying in the Glowecesterscire missions
@GarethE1998 clearly understand who?
@LePhantomChick N If that’s how you see it then that’s cool but that’s not how it was in the previous nine games.
@Zlich007 i agree with you 1000% and I’m not trying to get anybody to hate Origins. I just wanted to point it out because I never see anybody mentioning it.
So I see a lot of Odyssey hate from a lot of people. Can I just ask (and no I’m not looking for arguments) why nobody seems to hate on the biggest retcon in the entire franchise that practically wipes out everything that the 9 games before it told us about the Assassins and Templars true origins?
Some “Legendary Assassins” that we ‘meet’ in AC 2 are now known as freedom fighters or proto-assassins even though they are buried in sarcophagi that are adorned with Assassins insignia and sashes and are referred to as Assassins. Iltani even has the Assassins insignia on her belt and she was active in the 4th century, 250ish years before Bayek apparently created the insignia with his bird skull in the sand. Darius was also referred to as a Legendary Assassin who killed xerxes in 465BCE, that’s over 400 years before Bayek!
There is even an Assassins Creed timeline released in 2016 that states “The First Assassins - 75,100BCE” right at the top.
There is a tweet where Darby even says that there are a lot of “puzzling contradictions” created by Origins but that this is a starting point for the “AC newbies”
My take on this is that Ubisoft saw how much attention the new RPG marketed AC game was getting and how many new fans it pulled in so they thought “Oh... well these new fans aren’t going to go back and play all the previous games in order to understand the lore so we will just hit reset with Origins”
But why aren’t more people (mainly older fans) annoyed by this? I personally think this deserves more scrutiny than Odyssey does.
Lmfao - I am actually Welsh which is why I find this so funny
I can imagine Brigid going in to buy something and Yanli is looking at her deadpan coz she has no clue what she is saying so Brigid has just started sending Gunnar instead lol
What about female Eivor? And also I would pick the actual voice actress, Melissanthi Mahut, to play Kassandra. The woman you’ve picked for Kass just doesn’t seem to fit at all, IMO.
I agree, I think unity was a nice blend of both.
Amunet isn’t Kassandra’s daughter? They are related but she isn’t her daughter.
Origins retconned a lot of stuff that the nine games before it told us. So a lot of these “legendary assassins” are no longer seen as this. I’m quite salty about this tbh because it was a retcon that, in my opinion, was utterly unnecessary.
However that doesn’t mean that they can’t appear in future games. We’ve already seen Darius and Aya (albeit not as Amunet) I believe the others are:-
Iltani, Wei Yu, Leonius & Qulan Gal .. who knows we may even see Kassandra again as an NPC. I’ve stopped trying to guess what will happen next because they just do what they want lol
I don’t think her conscience survived because she was physically killed. However, if my theory about Layla being able to alter the past is true and she goes back to 2012 and “changes” things then that could mean that Juno was never released and remains in the grey or gets released all over again
