Assassins creed odyssey gay
A lot was made of the newest Assassin’s Creed entity Gay. And I don’t mean some wink wink nudge nudge thing, I mean full blown gay relationships and sexual encounters would be in the game, and this was something that… well, it caught my eye when they were hyping the game up. It really didn’t inspire much confidence in me, however, because if you know anything about high budget games, queer issues are, ah, how shall we say, not often handled well.
From careless throwaway lines, horribly written characters, offensive plot points, these are all well and common things and you can hardly hurl a stone at a game without hitting a really shitty moment. So to have such a high profile game just reach out and utter they’re going to have queer elements in the game, well, it had my attention at the very least. The final product isn’t all they hyped it up to be on that front, organism frank. But it’s not a total trainwreck, which is probably the most surprising part of all this. It felt like true care was place into quite a bit of the queer elements of the game. Unfortunately, it can’t assist but slide advocate into tired aged, offensive jokes and tropes, which ultimately hamper it from being somethin
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s newest DLC ignores gay characters
One of the finest things about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is how it allows you to mould your character how you see fit.
For example, my Kassandra shagged everyone. Sex was just another weapon in her arsenal, and her antics were enough to make even Ezio blush.
Whatever your choices, the latest DLC, Legacy of the First Blade Part 2, doesn’t feel to care.
Spoilers for the DLC and ending follow.
In the fresh DLC, you are forced to have a baby with another character, unlocking the Achievement ‘Growing Up’. Not only does this suggest having a child is the default state of an adult – some end target to aspire to – it also undermines anyone who has thus far roleplayed as a gay character.
According to one redditor, they refused the character’s advances and sent them on their way, but they still ended up having a child.
At a guess, this is Ubisoft’s way of setting up future games, kicking off the Assassins’ lineage – the series has prolonged been about memories and skills passed through DNA.
The issue is, it just doesn’t gel with the big deal Ubisoft made when marketing the game, saying we could shape our hero, even down to thei
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Got Ancient Greek Sexuality Right
When Ubisoft announced Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, they revealed it would allow players to form idealistic partnerships with NPCs throughout the society of Ancient Greece.
Once players got in and started playing the game, however, it became obvious that romance in Assassin's Creed Odyssey would work differently than it had in other similar games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or The Witcher 3. In those games, the player had a couple of characters they could romance casually and a couple of characters with whom they could decide to forge an ongoing relationship.
In Odyssey, romance happens much more fluidly and much more frequently. Many characters throughout the game during both main quests and side quests offer romantic options, and many of those don’t progress much past a unpartnered sexual encounter.

This may feel odd, but it actually fits skillfully with the overall vibe of Ancient Greek sexuality. Spending time with Assassin's Creed Odyssey makes players realize how strange it would have felt if romance options didn’t exist in the game cons
Can you be gay in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? That’s the million dollar scrutinize, isn’t it? While previous games haven’t exactly strayed away from including homosexual identities, they’ve often been quite the opposite of ‘show, don’t tell.’ For example, Jacob Frye was confirmed as bisexual after the events of the game by Ubisoft’s Tumblr account, rather than in the game itself.
So, what does that speak about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Well, let’s start by saying that despite organism nominated in GLAAD for its LGBT+ representation, Odyssey isn’t as incredible as some may think. But before we get into that, let’s answer the question you’re here for.
Can you be gay in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Yes, yes you can. You can also be bi-curious, or even a homosexual woman. It gives you the options to play however you want. You may play your Alexios or Kassandra as asexual, or just someone who is sex-repulsed in general, but want to get to know someone more romantically. There are options – 14 of them to be exact, if you’re not counting DLC.
However, it’s not as black and white as that. While
