Ubisoft reports that Assassin's Creed Shadows will feature a so-called “canon” mode that will make all major story choices for the player.
“Choices play a big role in recruiting allies and romantic relationships with certain characters. Because fan opinions are divided regarding branching dialogue, we included an option called Canon Mode that allows playing with the choices already made for you, saving you from having to think about them,” — says the project's creative director Jonathan Dumont.
Most players reacted to the mode with great skepticism.
“Basically, they made a mode for journalists.”
“Just like watching a movie. Yet another confirmation that the game is going to suck.”
“So does that mean the mode will turn the protagonist Japanese?”
“It's an RPG..... that plays itself. I am confused.”
