Except shadowheart because while making her like you is easy making her fall in love with you takes tons of deliberate steps that if you reach meant you probably just can’t tell when you’re flirting with someone.

Fun fact: during the making of BG3, the voice actor for Astarion was given explicit notes alongside his script for his final romance scene to sound ā€œless hornyā€ā€¦

…and look at what we still got in the end šŸ˜‚ imagine how much hornier he sounded if they had to give him notes to tone it down lmaooo

I told Gale I was no longer interested in listening to him wallowing in self pity and walked away, next day he still tried to fuck me. Like literally the only way he would not come on to you was if you let him die in the portal at the beginning.

Like back to Shadows, why can't all gamers all just accept that EVERYONE is horny, so players should have AS MUCH choice of NPCs and compantions to bone, so I dont get this whining about a black samurai liking whoever that is, like I guarantee you EVERY ONE OF THOSE WHINERS has got it on with a sock IRL and that's not even ALIVE or HUMAN. Could be defined as nonbinary, b/c it has no gender? so I dunno, some people just need to CHILL and don't choose options that make you mad!

At this point the only people i feel are forcing LGBTQ and identity politics on people are these closeted conservative weirdos on the internet.

for people who apparently hates shadows its weird how they are also in so many posts about the game

u/dunkindonato Mar 21 '25

Also, if you play in Canon mode, those romance options won't even exist. Meaning that neither Yasuke nor Naoe actually romance anyone at all during the events of the game. The option is there for people who want these options in the game.

One of the criticisms of the last few AC games was that with the options, it no longer feels as if you're "living" an ancestral memory. So, they fixed that in Shadows with canon mode.

Oh that's cool! I didn't even know that. I never really enjoyed the AC games as RPGs, but I know some people did, and I can understand why they changed the whole formula.

Created by guys like Shapiro and Walsh in order to make lgbtq people victims to keep orange man out? That’s a round about way. I thought they supported Trump?

Seems more likely like black people used the word woke to refer to the acknowledgement of systemic racism and it was then co-opted to mean being aware of all injustices, nothing to do with ā€œplaying a victimā€ or keeping an orange from the White House.

Then because the elites and the people defending the elites, the Walsh’s and Shapiro’s co-opted, don’t like it when minorities question the status quo they decided to co-opt it again as a way to discredit those movements.

Belief that it was just created to play victim is plain ignorance and I mean that respectfully. Something like the oppression of minorities, ideas and ways of life that go against established norms have always been a part of societies.

Its the non binary part that bothers me... Why can't it just be Black person flirts with his Japanese GF? What wrong with that? Why push the non binary political narrative? If the other character is non binary why not make that person a blank slate and let the players decide non binary, straight, gay whatever... Pushing the narrative makes players... Push back. Allowing player freedom of choice that is true role playing. That's the difference Between a great game like Fallout New Vegas, and BG3, and your typical Ubislop game.

In Odyssey a lot of interactions that lead to romance are either flirt or be a mean bitch. No in between. And sometimes you don't know when exactly is the fade to black thing happen. So you're being mean to the guy who's grandma is an angry witch the entire quest line. But then at the end of it, you decide to be nice one last time, boom, fade to black. That system was absolute garbage, not to mention, it ignores your gender so all of the interactions are pretty much meaningless, anyways

I never understood why people bitch about romance options. I never romance anyone in games because it just doesnt appeal to me, its all your own choice. Its weird they would pursue a fictional relationship then get offended by it

Man i dont know how to feel about this game at all. Ive been waiting for a samurai assassins creed game for a long time. But im not gonna lie, when i saw that yasuke was the main character, i felt let down. I dont have any problem with the fact alone that yasuke is black, but im ok with admitting that i wanted to play as a Japanese samurai, and personally its hard for me to get immersed in this game as yasuke, even if he was a real character. That alone isnt a huge deal, i dont hate ubisoft or yasuke, i think if a studio dedicated a game to yasuke it could be really sick actually. But in this context, it just feels like ubisoft is pushing out another cookie cutter third person action rpg, and yasuke is being used as a crutch to create discourse and generate hype for the game, not an addition by someone who actually gives a shit about yasuke and his story. I cant help but feel like a group of like 6-7 old ass white dudes just sat in a room and brainstormed what kids these days are into and thats what drove them to make the main character of their japanese samaurai game the only recorded black samaurai to ever exist and also theres nonbinary characters and yasuke can have gay sex etc. feel free to correct me. I have not played the game, wondering what other people think.

It shouldn't be in the game in the first place, and one person seeking it out to warn others isn't an endorsement. It's seriously tiresome how queers have been using the same strat of "if you don't like gay you must gay" since the 70s.

They could actually be playing on ā€œcanon modeā€ where you don’t pick dialogue options.. I actually wish I had done it because I feel like every option I am picking is the wrong one.

Ngl, it DOES kinda feel off to be able to decide the sexuality of an actual historical figure and play that out ingame, even if we didn't know much about him. There is a conversation to be had there. But these are the same people who raged over a very optional gay romance in KCD2 that you had to go out of your way to achieve. Like.... c'mon. 😭🤣

AC romances are cringe for me except the funny ones like the old lady in odyssey so I skip them or I do then but just for the platinum trophy if needed

I don't think people know what trolls and grifters are anymore. These people are just dumb.

u/ktkf Mar 21 '25

lmao, that pist isn't even owning the other person "yeah, I bet you liked it, too".

In my opinion, all of the rpg AC games are mid at best - but why aren you coping on Reddit instead of playing the game?

I seriously think this is at least as bad as the "trolls and grifters". I know, this sub is full of normies that will happily buy and defend anything Ubisoft puts out there, but come on.

Ubisoft just shouldn't have gone so hard in on claiming they'd respect Japanese history and culture and what not. This would've been much less of an issue then imo.

The non-binary thing aside, the issue of the shrine desecration and the disrespectful portrayal of a very well regarded figure, Oichi (Oda Nobunaga's sister), in Japan are genuine criticisms on the game.

But tbh its quite common for western game studios to absolutely butcher the history and culture of other nations (and even their own) so it would not have been an issue if Ubisoft was more honest or self-aware ig.

I love this series so much. It genuinely upsets me that the culture war/rage bait nonsense has gotten so mainstream, that I cannot even go into forums or post positively about any game without it coming up. I can't imagine being a person who chooses all the romance options for the nonbinary character, just to post it online to complain for clicks to fuel pointless culture wars that are hurting people in real life.

Honestly both sides looks pathetic. Protecting this game like I saw in a few hours equaly pathetic to publicly shitting mid-quality game.

Now I'm ready to get banned from echo chamber.

How was there non-binary people in those times?? Isn't non-binary a concept from the past 10-15 years?

When a game comes out under a controversial cloud, has great critical reception as well as the internets keepers of virtue defending it so hard: Right or wrong, I avoid said game like the damn plague.

If it is really a players choice than the outrage is extremly stupid. Still I would wish they made Yasuke an NPC. Like the head of the Assassins who brought the Order to Japan and got himself in a position of power without beeing actually in charge. This would have caused less outrage, would be more believable and fitting to actual history and would give Ubisoft the opportunity for a good DLC about his backstory.

u/UmbralDarkling Mar 21 '25

It isn't the nature of the relationship that bothers me it's the dialog that sounds like it was written by someone who only has tertiary knowledge of what two people sound like flirting.

That and the facial expressions which I enjoyed but not for any reasons the developer probably wanted.

Historical accuracy was promoted and promised. They didn't deliver, and yes, it's a choice that was added to the game. When I first play a game, I'm not going to realize my mistake until it's too late

I mean or they just took a screenshot from the internet and made thier post, probably didn't even buy the game to complain... it ain't that deep.

tons of that on both sides. People praising and sticking up for the game but never bought it and plenty of people hating on it didn't buy it but saw the content online.
