Some of y'all haven’t put 200+ hours into a game romping and romancing your way through ancient Greece as a badass queer mercenary only to end up in a forced heterosexual relationship with a baby, so you can “grow up” and it really shows.

My two cents: Look, I’m not burning my AC: Odyssey, but I’m certainly not interested in finishing this DLC and feel like I wasted my money. Bottom line, this is disingenuous on Ubisoft’s part. This game’s success has been about the choices and consequences and to take that from players at the end is a real kick in the gut and it wasn’t necessary.

And don’t give me the “bloodlines” speech. This isn’t about bloodlines. As far as continuity is concerned, the animus can be used by anyone. There’s no real impetus to continue the line unless (as someone else said) Desmond or Layla or Aveline or Edward or somebody is a direct descendant of Kassandra.

In the end, I as gamer who chose to play Kassandra as a lesbian, I got played. If you played Alexios as gay you got played. And if you played as bi or straight you still had your choice taken from you. Reading comments and responses is exposing people’s privileges and it’s too hard to make y'all get the point because you’ve never been marginalized. There were other options. The Atlantis storyline takes away any rush to have a child (and least of all with Nut-tacos) and quite frankly having a kid in the middle of a war seems crazy town. Kassandra seems smarter than that.

Anyway, AC is one of my favorite franchises and I’ve been singing the praises of this game for months. At this point, I’m telling folks to not bother with the DLC. This development was unnecessary and I’d really like someone to make it make sense.

End rant. Big sigh. Peace and soul grease.
