@Grummz They should reduce his role because it isn't consistent with the brand Assassin's Creed was always about being a Forrest Gump murder hobo fist bumping with historical figures. You weren't supposed to be the historical figure.

@osgamer74 Awful game design The purpose of weaknesses is to have the team or player figure out solutions to get around those issues. A huge advantage of RPGs over board games is you literally can do almost anything within the game system Limitation breeds creativity.
