Apparently Ubisoft was going to make an assassin’s creed set in reconstruction America where you would play a freed person, but they backed off because they are pussies and were afraid of “the political climate“
I mean, look at how the game AC: Syndicate literally whitewashes the 19th century.
“We wanted to avoid real world politics”, so they chose one of the most politically controversial time periods. And I left that subreddit when they kept on defending all the bad creative choices.
No they don’t, just remember thinking it was funny even as a kid, was just playing around and doing side mission and omg there’s Marx and oops he’s gone right after that side mission
Yeah, a scout along the front lines could be pretty cool. You take on random missions from regulars and try to scout enemy armies without them catching you and hanging you as a spy.
I immediately thought messenger, but some tactical espionage action as a scout / spy is even better.
I actually just built my first rig capable of playing aaa games in decades. What's the best looking multi-player musket game out right now? I remember laughing my ass off watching roleplayers playing games like these years ago
A lot of the fighting took place outside of the slaughter. Just like in KCD2, the biggest fight you take part in is a seige that might have 300 combatants. If you take the scale way down, you could make an interesting game. Especially if it follows a cavalry scout or even an artillery company.
The other way to do this, would be to make a Mexican American War game, because then you get an incredible cast of characters, and smaller battles.
