Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has a lot to offer, mixing up the best features from the franchise to the recent addition of RPG elements in Origins. The game offers optional romantic interests players can pursue, weapon and skill leveling, mission variety, dialogue choices and various other changes. It’s essentially evolved into a complete role-playing experience with unequivocal markers of the AC series, but the narrative experience will present more in-depth personal choices for the player.

According to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey narrative director, Mel MacCoubrey, the decisions made in-game can have “long-term consequences” on the story. How the narrative pans out is completely up to the player. Speaking to IGN, MacCoubrey explained:

You can have long-term choices where you know you are making a big choice up front, and it could very well have a long-term consequence. I wish I could give you an example for that… but I won’t.”

Ubisoft’s decision to dive deep into the RPG genre lends to their ideals for a “deeper, richer, and more personal experience” for players. MacCoubrey believes this gives the person a chance to express themselves through the character, Alexios or Kassandra in this case. Instead of simply telling a story, the story is told by the person holding the controls. Sticking to a code of honor is a matter of option in this case. Each scenario comes down to individual judgement, and that could spell disaster or heroism.

Do you think Assassin’s Creed Odyssey should have such serious narrative implications when it comes to personal decisions?
