Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Needed These 4 Changes to Be Perfect
More Fleshed Out Romance Options
As mentioned before, Ubisoft really hit it out of the park when it came to story branches in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The RPG elements work well in this game, and I’d love to see how the company develops them further. However, the romance options are easily one of the biggest disappointments of this game.
Here’s how romance works in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. You’ll do a side quest or two for an NPC. Whenever you talk to them, just keep picking the dialogue option with the heart symbol next to it, and eventually you’ll bang. After that, if you see another NPC you like, you can romance them if the option is available. There are no repercussions or follow-ups with whoever you choose to romance, and it feels tacked-on for the sake of ticking a checkbox.
If Assassin’s Creed is going to take a page out of BioWare’s book, why not go all the way? Let’s get some loyalty missions in here, and actually have our romance options play a more integral role in the main story.
