Kings Journal: Assassin´ s Creed Odyssey (Patreon)

This time I have a promising look at "Assassin´ s Creed Odyssey" and the games potential for Bara art.
The new AC game was revealed by developer Ubisoft at the E3. The new game is set in ancient Greece the birthplace of European culture, democracy, philosophy and art. The trailer showed several locations on land, on sea, underwater and everything seems inspired by mythology. Statues of Greek gods are spread over the country and also other creatures have monuments like the Minotaur. The Minotaur has the body of a big human and the head of a bull. My imagination already started creating images about the main character meeting or mating mythical creatures.
The main character: Alexius
The main characters name is "Alexius". He has a "Geralt of Rivia" hairstyle, a beard and wears (sexy) armor, that might be lifted by wind or during fights. A big new difference is, that players can choose between Alexius or a female called "Kassandra" before the games starts. The chosen character will be the one for the whole game. So unlike AC Syndycate or Origins players are not forced anymore to play with a male or female. I think that is a very good decision, because if you play a game and you want to feel like the main character yourself, having the same gender can be helpful.
Assassin´ s Creed meets Mass Effect - Romance options
The trailer also showed the possibility of romance, but this time players can say "no" or "yes". A lot of games have some love interest storylines, what is among the cheasiest ways of storytelling in my opinion, if the "save waifu" plot is the main point of the whole game. But there are very good examples of romance in games too. Mass Effect or Fallout for example have great romance options for each gender and sexuality. I think the AC trailer hinted some same sex romance for the female character so I hope that there might be a same sex romance option for Alexius too. It would be a huge step for Ubisoft as one of the biggest videogame developers to show gay romance in a game. They already have a gay couple in an AC comic.
Impressions and ideas
Assassin´ s Creed Odyssey made it instantly on my "must have" list.
The Greek setting hits my excitement for ancient worlds and myths and the male main character looks gorgeous. Considering all AC games this one offers a lot of freedom to create Bara art. Minotaur, Centaur, gods... Ancient Greece is pure inspiration and the new choice options open a whole new dimension of freedom at least I hope they will.
To summarize: I really look forward for this game and I wonder if I should create original characters and content set in Antique too.
Remember: "Greek" means "Anal Penetration".
