These are the final villain (a man) Bellec, Arno's mentor (a man) and Elise de Salle, a woman, whom it's tempting to describe as Arno's love interest but who actually has a much more interesting and important role in the story. I've already written about how I think the story-telling in Unity is some of the best the franchise has ever fronted, and part of the reason for that is that along with Arno, the protagonist, there are only three characters of real importance to the plot that you need to keep track of. There certainly are plenty of tertiary and minor female characters, in heroic and villainous roles, including one of four members of the Assassin's council, for example.
What interests me today is Ubisoft's comment, at the time the no-playable-women news broke, that the story does contain strong female characters. It doesn't seem any more stupid to allow Helix agents (that's you!) to select a different character to play in co-op than it does to say that four Helix agents are exploring the same simulation even though it's vitally important that you do it.īut whatever! Ubisoft made its decision and we're stuck with it, although hopefully not for many more releases. Watch for their future projects, and check out their credits on GiantBomb’s wiki by clicking their names above.Īssassin's Creed: Unity doesn't have any playable female characters, despite having multiple animated female NPCs including one with a bunch of combat moves, and I'm still annoyed by that. Jeffrey Yohalem wrote the story of the Dead Kings DLC.
The story of Assassin’s Creed: Unity was penned by creative director Alexandre Amancio, main writer Travis Stout and narrative and cinematic director Sylvain Bernard, while scriptwriting was handled by Stout, Russell Lees, Darby McDevvitt and Ceri Young. Spoilers for the main storyline and ending ahead.
Elise is the best thing to happen to the Assassin's Creed franchise since the ability to punch minstrels.
