Huh. Interesting.
I don't think Ubi went "woke" but it does seem kinda disrespectful IMO.
Imagine if in Assassins Creed Origins, the ~~main~~ playable character was white. There would be an uproar.
For what Assassins Creed is worth (and it isn't a lot, and hasn't been for a long time), the stories are about the history of the country, as much as the people within it.
To take the perspective away from a native citizen betrays that intent. If Ubi wanted a "fish out of water" character, they should have continued to elaborate on Desmond's story.
There... were white characters in Origins? Did you not pay attention or even finish the story?
I meant as a playable character.
Also, no, I didn't play it lol. My last Assassins Creed game was Black Flag
