There have been some really well thought out and cool posts about new characters and new faction ideas. I've been theorizing with my friends about this one for a while as well as reading reddit on the possible upcoming toons. If you see an option that you mentioned in an earlier post I most likely read the post and thought it was a cool idea.
I figured I'd make a quick little poll on which characters seem coolest to the community. Please vote and comment with your suggestions as well.
I've got an idea for a new DLC character. His name is Oobee. Vanguard class. It's essentially just a big ubisoft logo with arms and creeper eyes, with a giant strap-on as a weapon. All of his attacks, whether guarded, parried, or dodged, result in an instant guardbreak that powerslams you on your face before Oobee goes to town on your *** while you watch in horror as your healthbar is sucked away into a non-revivable state.![]()
I think the Scotish Highlander is one of the next ones to come out for season 3 - that has at least been some of the buzz. As for a mace character I think you could incorporate a mace with The Zulu or the American Tribesman with a stone club of sorts. Those would also be a little lighter in weight as an option for a mace wielder.
For a knight you could easily add a mace type character - Morning Star already with the conqueror.
The American Tribesman (or the "jaguar warrior") is exactly what i would like to see. I watched Apocalypto again the other night.Originally Posted by UbiJurassic Go to original post
What kind of weapon can we expect?
Big, huge nope to all of them, other than maybe the basket hilt backsword guy, even that is a maybe though.
I already believe shinobi is an abomination among other heroes, and hope the game will attempt to at least hold some semblance of a theme.
There are many other options to choose from medieval Asian, as well as central and northern European cultures, as well as more ancient eras of said regions. Also, I'd like the game to stick towards a theme more of field warriors or duellists, rather than popular culture thropes or spy/assassin sort of characters.
That's a totally legitimate point of view and criticism, but I don't think any of the above options are "ranged" assassin/spy type characters.Originally Posted by WinterHt Go to original post
I'm curious about some of these other options of which you speak. Can you throw out a few examples and maybe a weapon they would use?
Thank you for the thread and poll!
I've made a thread of my own about potential ideas for a rapier-based class here, for those who're interested
