I like the stupid Animus s***. The tie to something bigger than what the people you play as know has already been the draw. Without it, it's just a game in Greece. Or Egypt. Now, I liked the Desmond Miles track a lot better, but still...

I know some people like it and I understand. I dont . Broke up the flow and the immersion of the games for Me.
I thought the animus was the worst thing about every AC game I've ever played. And the more I liked the game, the more I was irritated with the idiotic meta-story. Glad to hear that it's less prevalent in Odyssey, which I am anxious to start on as soon as I can.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about 34 because I haven't finished the game, never mind touched any DLC paid or free but i caught wind today of one of the critical articles online.
For f*** sake, every story doesn't need to be inclusive of every group. So sick of this s***, if I'm going to make fun of guys who wouldn't play BF V because it has women in it, I'm sure going to make fun of people upset at DLC because the story make you hetrosexual. Especially when the main 200 hour plus game lets you sleep with whomever you desire.
People need to get the f*** over themselves. Entitles bunch of bitches.

Fwiw, I understand most of the criticism (which I'm completely at odds with) has to do with the fact that the story forces the protagonist to procreate an offspring, even if the player rejects the hetero storyline advances...
That said, a key conceit of the AC series is the notion that the assassin's memories and experiences are carried on in DNA, so if you don't want that storyline, perhaps you're playing the wrong game series.

Fair enough but I don't believe for a second that is why many are pissed. It's paid DLC, it tells a different story. If the story they want to tell means they need a hetero relationship then so be it. Don't buy the DLC if it bothers you and if the comeback to that is well I bought the season pass and didn't know what the DLC was going to contain. Yeah correct, so don't buy season passes in advance.

Dan is right: People getting bent about a narrative in a video game need to get a grip. It's a F*CKING VIDEO GAME.
We live in a society in which outrage is cheap, plentiful and most often unnecessary, mainly as cover for dimwits and megalomaniacs unwilling to look in the mirror and blame themselves for many of their problems.

Outragers are just morons. Should be roundly ignored and/or ridiculed. Not taken seriously. There are things I don't like, like bionic Wonder woman in BFV. Guess how I express my dislike...I don't buy the damned thing.

Exactly and I'm not trying to single out one group. I guarantee if the "forced" story narrative was Alexios need to be in a gay relationship that a whole group of other people would be outraged.
Again the problem with today's failing society is everyone can tweet about it and find a like minded group to become an angry mob. Seriously go on your f***in way. If I don't like a game, movie book etc I don't play, watch or read it.

The real kicker is, say Ubisoft closed off any part of a storyline involving the assassin's offspring because someone ran a gay or queer playthrough. Wouldn't a good portion of the same people be angry in that case, too?
As was stated above, outrage culture is a stain on these days.
In any case, this is probably beyond the point of usefulness, so I'll see myself out...

Honestly, the very idea that we're having to address sexual escapades and preferences of a video game character just makes me SMH.

.
The truly pathetic part is romance had ZERO to do with the main story before phase two of the first dlc. NOTHING. Not anything at all.
Romance of any sort was an after thought at best. This game is not Witcher 3 at all as to the romance. You had a few shots at flings yes but nothing was shown and it had again ZERO impact on the main story.
ZERO!
I deleted my original anger at the spoilers as the outrage is purely manufactured by today's GARBAGE media.
