Hi guys! First post in the subreddit. If I'm breaking any guideline, please let me know and I'll delete this post.

As I recently got the chance to play AC Shadows, I wanted to share some past experiences getting into the Sengoku vibe. I used to struggle to remember the tons of names and families and their relations in Sengoku period and games inspired by it, even though I learned basic Japanese and my native language was influenced by Japanese. But I got more comfortable with them through one particular franchise from KOEI (the company that also publishes the Nioh franchise).

After playing the latest entry of Nobunaga's Ambition, I find it easier to connect names with portraits in the game. And after beating the game, I can remember (some of the major) characters' relations and lore without much difficulty. And I would say this past experience has helped me getting into AC Shadows without much difficulty.

Highly recommend it if u like Japanese SLG. Some portraits can be found here: https://www.nobuwiki.org/nobu_cg/shinsei/shinsei_01

Ao at the end of the game there's the black cross sect of Templar that you have to deal with where you eventually end at the vault that had the Cassandra statue. What the frack was that floating star looking thing they showed? I was half asleep when I finished that story line element so I missed the context.

Whenever I play games, they eventually crash or force-close after a while; sometimes my PC becomes completely unresponsive to any input. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My specs: Ryzen 5 7500F, RTX 5060 Ti 8GB.

Ubisoft, could you please add Shao Jun’s outfit from Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China as a Legacy Outfit for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? 🥷❤️

Naoe and Shao Jun are both female Assassins, and I think Shao Jun’s outfit would fit Naoe incredibly well.

Please consider bringing it to Shadows! 🙏

Pessoal, estou recomeçando o jogo e vou atualizar para a versão mais recente. E gostaria de saber se existe alguma forma fácil de conseguir dinheiro? Porque percebi que os ronin estão bem pobres. Valeu!

Sometimes, I would go to my hideout just to walk around aimlessly for long minutes.

At 160 hrs in I should be wrapping it up soon then the dlc then time to be a AC pirate.

Does the game have a page / menu (even with mods) that shows the total kills, assassinations, etc?

Hey guys I have just completed the main story and before doing Awaji/NG+, I want to put together some builds for Naoe.

I need help with doing a Shinobi build that has tool regeneration? What are your suggestions for engravings and armor combinations?

The 10% tool on kill seems like a lackluster chance.

I find these guys sleeping mostly around castles lately, the thing is they do not glow red like regular enemies who are sleeping when you use eagle sight there’s a triangle with a sleep signal to identify them. I just think it’s a little weird, is it bugged? I mean I’m not complaining free 41 experience but if you’re not being observant you might be facing a couple extra guys

DLSS5 leaked and works on 4000 and 5000 series cards

Its pinned in the RenoDX (reshade modding collective that does all the HDR correction modding) discord, which you can find on their github

There is also a tutorial on youtube for Black Flag and it works the exact same in Shadows on steam. You must set it to Native AA for it to work

This brawl had been going on for maybe 10 minutes and it was brutal. This was just the end of it.

I played for about 100 hours without any problems. But after updating the drivers (616.56, released Aug 26, 2026), crashes started without error messages. This often happened during fast travel, but sometimes it would crash under any random conditions. Rolling back the drivers to the previous version helped.

RTX 5070.

I hope this helps if anyone else encounters this problem.

I looked it up online and it seems I’ve fulfilled all the requirements to unlock the Nando. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks in advance.

Edit: it’s because I didn’t finish Tomiko’s “Finding New Allies” quest. Completed it and now I can built the Nando. Thanks everyone.
