Re: It's NOT all not-fun and not-games for Connor

Guilty admission: I usually disregards leaks, even trailers and whatnot with big franchises like AC. You really don't know whats true/untrue or just pretense. Guessing, conjecture and so on I love, but until it is official/cannot take it back/set in stone I disregard it. I bring with me enough expectations and bias into the game that I don't really need to be helped to it.

But if what you're saying is true (I am dying to trawl the internet for screenshots now. MUST RESIST), it really do sounds like AC's Imperial Britain will be everything I had hoped it not to be (especially if we get a male main playable of privilege and a stiff who flaunt his disregard for contemporary ideals). Then again 19th century Britain would be a fine launching pad for AC to explore the "Far East" (wince) as it is easily relatable from it's overrepresentation in literature, movies and history books. As long as we don't stay stuck in Britain but get to explore more world history in a respectful manner in regards to both the colonizers and the colonized then I am fine.

On Lucasfilm. I wouldn't really say its a change in canonicity policy as much as it's a reboot. The disregard of prior works in favor of later works is what a reboot is. The fact that they rebooted doesn't necessitate or equal a policy change in canonicity. Neither does the exclusion of EU. And it still seem to be applied (the motion pictures are still the most canon media). Anyways, I do think they still need it cause the sins of the past were just too delicious to not happen again and I will probably fund it again -_-;

But do you think it's a bad principle to apply to AC? Or maybe it shouldn't be applied?

Egad, I previously misfired!

Finally someone who agrees with me about 19th century Britain as "overrepresented"... and "especially if we get a male main playable of privilege"? That plus "British is trendy" will probably make Ubisoft MORE likely to go with such a player character, especially because "of privilege" screams Ezio to them, and considering how hard they tried to jam Arno into that mold without the personality which made Ezio actually liked... :/

I'd call Lucasfilm's case a mix of reboot and canonicity policy change, because instead of an EU they're going for a single canon level, no "single most canon", so for example Rebels and its prequel novel happened "as much" as the original movies did.

By the way, I've some more ruminating on the recent characters over in Discussion as "AC Character Discussion (forking from the Hope/Shay thread)", hopefully some of it interests you.
