@WhiteRabbit Even if you don't care about snow white, perhaps you can acknowledge that somebody does not need to be a racist, perform "mental gymnastics", be a sheep to YT grifters, etc. to lack appreciation for agendas.
FWIW, I never played Valhalla because I think a Viking is antithetic to what an AC protagonist should be. No Viking hate whatsoever. Same with "Shadows"; I would like to play a stereotypical samurai, someone representative.
BTW, the protagonist of "Origins" wasn't exactly a white guy, was he? I loved every second of that game. So please hold back with the "racist" allegations.
@WhiteRabbit FYI, I'm not racist. Far from it. Just bored to tears by SJWs.
For instance, if you don't think there is something odd about the actress for a character that is literally called "Snow White" having anything but white pale skin then I cannot help you. A white actress has no business playing "Maria" in "West Side Story", neither has a woman with darker skin any business playing "Snow White". It shouldn't need explaining, really.
@WhiteRabbit I'm not "upset" either (and no YouTuber). I'll just not buy the game, if it is not possible to avoid playing the token character. No outrage, just not interested in having somebody's agenda being pushed into my face.
The attention to detail that went into AC games like "Origins" is fantastic and very welcome.
I support long development periods to ensure quality that is more than skin deep.
If the ambition is that high, though, why predictably offend so many fans by shoehorning a samurai of colour into a feudal Japan setting when the real life person appears to be of fringe relevance? Why not have such a protagonist when it is appropriate for the setting?
I hope I'll be able to play the other character exclusively. If the Yaskuke token character is going to be forced upon me, I'll pass.
