Times Video Game Endings Were Changed
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Shadow Heritage DLC
You’ve likely heard about this DLC and how it ended recently because when it was released earlier this month, it caught a lot of airwaves, and rightfully so.
For those unaware, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the newest iteration in the long-running franchise, prided itself on allowing players to morph their Kassandra or Alexios into whomever they wished them to be and in a lot of ways too, including sexuality. Featuring multiple potential partners to romance, the player could decide completely who Alexios and Kassandra romanced.
For many players, this meant only engaging in romance with NPCs of the same sex, for some the opposite and for some, a mix. Regardless of how you romanced in the base game, though, the Shadow Heritage DLC would force your character to engage in a romance with a character of the opposite sex so that a child could be made and born.
You can see the problem there, right? If someone’s Kassandra only engaged in romance with other women, all of a sudden, they were forced into a relationship with a male, which betrays that version of Kassandra.
Beyond the sexuality aspect, this decision also forced players into a romance they had no control over. What if they didn’t want to be in this relationship? What if they didn’t want to have a child?
Fortunately, Ubisoft apologized and said a fix is on the way. So, while this ending still stands, a change is coming that Ubisoft said will rectify this situation.
