I think you’re right. It’s been cool to hate on Ubisoft for a few years now. I think a lot of the vitriol is just people piling on.
Nobody has ever cared about the modern day timeline in AC, they could abandon all of that and nobody would notice (in fact, I thought they did with Valhalla).
I can appreciate that argument. It's completely different to the one presented so far though, that the story and writing and production will suck because of this and drive gamers away. You can still craft good story around Yasuke being so visible and prominent.The thing isnt that it casts a black guy. I am sure everybody would have been happy under the right context. The issue is that it just doesnt fit with the context.
A black samurai who acts like a hidden assasin is too obvious to not be noticed in a land where everyone is Japanese/asian. A different role would have probably been more fitting.
How much was historically accurate in past titles and how has that changed over time?
He was experiencing the life a middle eastern assassin in the simulation of course located in the middle east, which is inspired by actual historical existence of the Order of Assassins in the medieval times. The name assassin actually has roots from the word "hashish" which they consumed before their operationsDesmond Boringman was the lead for the first six? games and he was just made up.
(His 2012 bits count as ancient history btw)

You mean the use of hashish? It was used as a form of manipulation as a mind altering drug used with religious propaganda if I recall by their authority. That made them blindly obedient to the extreme, ready to sacrifice their lives on commandI've never been convinced that they were an effective origination in real life with that strategy.

That was partially depicted in the original game when they were asked to jump to their (fake) deaths
Well different effects according to the set "atmosphere"Feeling euphoric and really hungry have never struck me as key assassin attributes.
Wow that's tragically kojimaesque! They should remove that useless stuff from the games.Ummm..... Because canonically it's impossible.
I have to keep explaining that Assassin's Creed uses Trancers rules for time travel. How that works is you travel back in time through your genetic timeline. In AC, it's a simulation based on your genetic memory. But it requires that your bloodline directly connects to the person you are traveling into. Musashi famously only had children he adopted. Therefore, for historical accuracy, Musashi cannot ever be a playable character in an Assassin's Creed game.
