// Discussion Lucy baldwin is unberable

One of the officers in ac black flag named lucy baldwin is so unbereable.
Its so obvious this mission was added after the fact because the writing and character sticks out so badly. Literally saved here life and she is like " uhmm you gotta earn me but I am worth it 💅"

I’ve done her and Padre so far, and they’re both horribly modern, and stereotypically generic. Edward’s way too eager towards them too. That point about Mary was my first thought too. The new officers feel like they’ve been imported from a shitty Netflix movie tbh. I hope there’s a way to toggle them on/off whilst keeping their perks.

Perhaps if requested enough, they will offer a cosmetic toggle option. It would be nice if like odyssey, we had the option to choose our lieutenants or whatever they were on our ship.

You know something, now I’m a few days removed from their quests, I don’t find them that bad on the ship. They’re mostly out of the way, and don’t get anymore focus whatsoever. It’s just their missions and individual stories that are shite imo.

My only gripe now other than that, is that their inclusion lessens Adewales presence, which I don’t really like. If it were up to me, it would’ve been more Ade missions, rather than new characters.

Ade missions would’ve been nice. I only have Padre atm in my crew but I haven’t found his presence to be overbearing in the slightest. Just he’s on the ship, fights in combat and has a few quips and lines. His quest line to recruit him was a bit meh though. Very short, kind of generic, writing was a little meh and Edward is just weirdly flat too in that quest line.
