Custom Role-Playing
Although the franchise has dabbled with RPG mechanics in the past, Assassin’s Creed has never fully embraced the genre. Before Origins anyway. In Origins, players will have more control over their desired play style than any other Assassin’s Creed game has offered.
A wide variety of weapons, from dual sabers to spears, and a diverse range of bows means that players will have plenty of choices in how they want to fight. Different types of armor will also have as much effect on Bayek’s movement and stats as his appearance. All of these treasures come in different rarities and will be hidden throughout the world for the player to find and experiment with.
So for those of you keeping track at home, this means Assassin’s Creed Origins is shaping up to have a world as exciting to explore as Black Flag that’s also filled with lifelike NPCs, bad guys that will fight the player in For Honor brawls, and customizable weapon RPG elements that are ripped right out of a something like the Witcher III.
