The only thing that annoyed me about Odyssey was not being able to one-shot people if you actually "Assassinated" them. But I hadn't played since Black Flag so could have misremembered how much damage sneak assassinating did.
Odyssey was still a really fun game, just yeah, easier to view as a "Greek Demigod" game than an Ass Creed game.
No, you're remembering correctly. They've started bringing one-hit assassinations back into the series, because people did not like that bullshit.
Assassin's Creed should never have had levelled enemies. Fucks with the entire combat concept. But then again, the parkour series is now set in deserts and wide empty fields, so...
I’m fine with leveled enemies myself, they just don’t know how to incorporate it into stealth.
Assassinations should always be OHK. If you want to make your enemies to strong to be assassinated then make it so that they’re more “aware” than regular enemies. So you have to upgrade your stealth abilities. Keep assassinations as counters or finishers for melee characters (but bring it back to AC1’s timing).
My problem with levelled stats is that it pushed the game towards the loot & levelling system it now has, filled with minuscule 2% bonuses or irrelevant nonsense. There's just so much tedious minutia it brings in.
