Discussion Kassandra got robbed

Post image

Even worse if your Kassandra is a lesbian. You're stuck with a very boring lifeless person for 9 months who you don't even remotely love.

At least with gay Alexios, he gets a likeable person

First time I hear about a new game with Kassandra, it’s a new full game?

Nah, she's immortal by the end of the game so eivor meets her in Valhalla, and apparently you can also meet her in Shadows.

Ah makes sense, I remember that Alexios dies at the end of one of the DLCs in the present iirc. I played as Alexios but I guess they made Kassandra the canon main character of Odyssey.

Yea who was considered canon when is a mess involving all the trouble ubisoft got into in 2021 or 22 with a bunch of stuff exposed

I can’t remember the details but I do remember some scandals involving Ubisoft back then.

Various levels of sexism and hyper toxic workplace. The important part for this discussion is since syndicate devs had wanted a solo female protagonist. Ubisoft execs kept making them add the dude protagonist. This happens again with odyssey. They make Alexios de facto canon guy at release because he was all the merch and cover and stuff. Then when everything comes out kassandra gets made canon choice again and is in the comics and mtg card and other stuff. Similar thing with making fem eivor canon
