From Ubisoft... A production update on Legacy of the First Blade DLC, Shadow Heritage forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1984274-SPOILER-DLC-1-2-Production-Update?p=13900222#post13900222Hello all, After hearing player feedback and discussing within the development team we are making changes to a cutscene and some dialogue in Shadow Heritage to better reflect the nature of the relationship for players selecting a non-romantic storyline. These changes, along with renaming a trophy/achievement, are being made now and will be implemented in an upcoming patch. We’ve also been carefully looking at the next episode, Bloodline, to ensure the paths that players experience mirror the choices they make in game.

It doesn't sound like it will be a new route or anything like that, which is unfortunate, so I'm guessing the changes will be you not being all lovey-dovey towards the character even when you don't choose those options. I just hope we aren't made to be a jerk about it like a certain mathematician.

Ubisoft is one of the few remaining rare devs to be responsive with their consumers. That's not to say they didn't follow the footsteps of the others in implementing MTX but at least they didn't go full throttle. Pray they don't join the ranks of the damn; Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard and the infamous EA, nickle-and-dime and engaging in shady sales pitch.

Well said and after watching the video you posted recently about Bethesda and Activision the difference is astronomical. So wondering if I should leave legacy half finished in episode 2??????

That's about the second best thing they could do in this situation. The first of course was not to create the situation at all, but since that Adrestia has sailed... I am holding up my Kass run on the DLC for now. She just has to have the time for barricading the doors against Natakas. Not to mention she has 3 million drachmae and is not going to live in a hovel or running to the market for groceries. Kass has people for those things!

Slightly off topic: I think EA themselves are somewhat learning their lesson as Anthem, while it will have microtransactions, will be exclusively for cosmetics and will not be via loot-boxes. You buy what you get. And it's definitely not pay-to-win.

I understand why people are upset about having choices retconned, but that was done long before the DLC. [ 1] The whole point of AC is reliving memories, the choices are an illusion.

The game and season pass was sold as supporting player choice and never forcing people into this kind of situation only for the DLC to do that.

So, my son saw how shitty my game looked the other day and he figured out what was making it look so bad. I had to turn off mfaa in the Nvidia control panel. Improved the look of the game 100%. But photo mode pictures for some reason still look like shit. BUT if I take a screenshot using the Nvidia screen capture, it looks much better. I have no idea what is going on with this games graphics or whatever. I never had these issues with Origins. I only thought to take one snap at the beginning of the fight with the new big ugly: And of course, don't forget how beautiful Alexios is:

He's like literally hanging out with them like he is best buds or something and I have no clue who he is Its a friend of the family. You’re cool with it because you became that family’s doormat. In all seriousness it’s probably just a random NPC that wandered in and went to a course that is left there.

I finished the main game on Kass finally. I liked her a lot and her VA did an amazing job. I still prefer Alexios as the protagonist though.
Will be starting the DLC stuff on Kass soon!

I liked the ending for my Alexios.
It's going to be an issue for Kass since I was headcanoning that her and Thaletas are together forever so it will take some mental maneuvering for her. Thanks for the warning though

The only thing they are fixing is you aren't suddenly lovey dovey if you didn't choose those options. All the major problems are still there.

Those damned things drove me nuts and stopped me from loving that game. As it is, I currently only almost-love it. Didn't care much for the QTEs. I disliked how the stealth felt gutted (or I sucked at it) and the game was forcing you to go in combat. Of course they put a lot of effort in the combat so maybe they wanted to show off. And it was the first game with no large cities and buildings to climb around. The frontier was boring to me. I hated how every soldier with a stupid musket could hit a fly in the eye from a mile away and always managed to drop you down from buildings if you tried to run by climbing. And so many soldiers on the rooftops. I don't know if that was historically accurate, but man, I hated it. Also, boring protagonist, slow story and a time period I couldn't care less about. The only thing that kept me playing bit further were the homestead missions, but they also had some real shortcomings, especially when you had to escort some NPC... I wish I could just knock them out, carry them in running speed and throw them at the final location. And for some reason the whole hunting and skinning mechanic felt terrible (maybe because it was too real).
I will try the Remaster, maybe finish the game as it is the only AC game I never finished, but this time I will just go on a rampage with no stealth.

I didn't mind the QTE's for animals so much as they stayed the same for each one I think or they had only two alternatives. It was ones like the stupid lumberjack fight that annoyed me. Escort missions in any games SUCK. I hate them a lot. I actually thought the stealth was okay in AC3 and rooftop enemies, what rooftop enemies??? Sorry used a Black flag photo as I cannot find a lot of my AC3 shots, imgur seems to have let them disappear!!!!!

Anyone know who this random dude is that's hanging around at my abode? He's like literally hanging out with them like he is best buds or something and I have no clue who he is Neema did say that Darius was starting to relax and interact with the villagers. Maybe this is his first new friend? I’ve taken to dropping anchor in the shallows below the cliffside home after each PT. I’m trying to embrace this family thing so that I’ll actually care when the Order shows up and burns my house. I want another Templar game, and a proper one. If they want to really make RPGs, they should let us choose our side in the great conflict. I often like the (proto)Templar ideology, but inevitably hate most of the douchewaffles who espouse it. The Colonial/American Rite under Haytham Kenway were cool. The Order in Revolutionary Paris under Germain was cool, even if they clearly had to be stopped. Same for Starrick in London. That sociopath had a proper plan. Let us build our own “control the world” cult, Ubisoft!
