The amount of people crying over gender inside the video games themselves is incredibly ridiculous. Any good designer knows that a character is little more than a tool. It's great if they have a personality and convey a story, but at the end of the day, they are simply a representation of the player within the game-space. I find this notion of "loveism" to be uninformed and misrepresenting good game design.
Yeah I'm also gonna have to say no this.
Main characters aren't a representation of a character if the character is chosen for you. There is only one character who you play as with a predetermined look and actions within the story of Assassin's Creed. They chose to give every new character in the series individual stories. If I'm playing a AAA title I'm going to expect playing as a main character with an in-depth story.
The main character is a pretty important part of game design. I'll bet all the quadruplets of AC Unity are mundane characters like every assassin in the series.
