Since the official announcement of “Assassin's Creed: Odyssey,” Ubisoft has made it quite clear that this title is going to be a landmark installment as developers fully embrace the role-playing genre for the upcoming game.
Like in other RPG franchises, this means that players will be given more control over how the gameplay story will be told. Of course, RPG titles have preset endings but the journey to get there is typically influenced by players’ choices during in-game dialogues. That same principle will be applied to “Assassin's Creed: Odyssey,” according to a report from GameSpot.
To simply put it, players’ decisions in every dialogue on "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" will affect the difficulty and challenges within the gameplay and how they will journey through the end of the campaign.
As already mentioned in previous reports, players will first choose between main protagonists Alexios and Kassandra. But overall, the campaign arc is the same: they are Spartan mercenaries whose stories will lead to inciting an armed uprising among the people of the Delos Islands against Podarkes.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft has reportedly taken the RPG mechanics of “Assassin's Creed: Odyssey” to another level as even the decisions made in side-quest dialogues are going to affect the main campaign arc.
Ubisoft has previewed to several observers a side mission featuring Socrates, where players will have to decide whether or not to free a prisoner who can potentially help the rebellion. The catch is that this prisoner also has a tendency to go rogue and make immense trouble.
In some gameplay demos where the prisoner was chosen to be released, it was reported that he ended up killing an ally, which somehow sidetracked the rebellion, affecting the main gameplay story.
The RPG aspect of “Assassin's Creed: Odyssey,” it seems, does not end with picking responses when talking to non-playable characters. The RPG mechanics applied to the upcoming game will compel players to think thoroughly of the consequences their decision would bring.
"Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" will be released on Oct. 5 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Fans can now pre-order the game and choose among six available purchase editions.
