Games That Influenced Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Mass Effect
The Mass Effect series might be the most obvious influence of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Specifically, the dialogue and even more specifically, the romantic options in the game. Like Mass Effect, Odyssey will allow players to craft a personality for Kassandra or Alexios based on how they speak to people and handle tasks throughout the world, much like Commander Shephard.
If you want Kassandra or Alexios to act humble, you can do that. If you want the world thinking they’re gods sent from above, you can also do that. You can act Paragon or Renegade or a mix of both (although Odyssey won’t call it that).
Furthermore, in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, you can romance a dozen or so characters in the game. On top of that, you’re free to romance whoever you want, so long as they’re willing to show you some love back. Just like in Mass Effect, characters you romance will be available to recruit as a member of your seafaring crew in the Mediterranean Sea.
