TBH, the only woman character i liked is the courtesan, the thief and now the hellequin in my opinion don't fits the game.

I agree about the Hellequin. Thief I don't mind. The Hellequin is a cheap knock-off of the Harlequin and makes it too non-unique for being a pre-order bonus.

The Hellequin, IMO, is really cool but this has seriously pissed me off TBH. I've pre-ordered the Codex Edition and as you've said the Harlequin is no longer as unique or cool. The main problem for me is that I think the Hellequin is actually even better than the Harlequin, mainly because she's female and I find the Courtesan seriously fun to play as so prefer the female characters far more.

Ironically, the fact that she's actually a good character has made me really annoyed Stare

EDIT: Actually now I've watched the video again she looks slightly less cool Tongue But then some of these reveal videos really haven't been that great. There's still something about the Harlequin's full face mask and creepy smile that is awesomely disturbing.

Also, is it me or are there gonna be too many different character models? I think 10-12 is enough but now there's, what, 15 or 16 with more to come...? Puzzled

Notice how the title says FINAL character. Ubi confirmed there are no more to come.

Wow, Ubi really needs more creative minds. It seems like they just got really lazy and just said, "f*ck it, let's just make a cheap harlequin rip-off."

You know what would have been creative is if they used targets from the past games as character models. I would love to run around Rome as Robert de Sable, cutting off the heads of William of Monferrat or even Vieri de Pazzi. That would have been creative and fun, and maybe you throw in the heavily praised character archetypes such as the Courtesan, the Doctor, the Barber, etc.

I would have loved playing as past targets, but I guess Ubi's too linear and unimaginative to think of great ideas like that one (I like the idea, anyway Smile )

Maybe a "Templars Throughout History" DLC pack. Edison, de Sable, Cesare, Mary Queen of Scots.

Not that I'm not a huge fan of the past target idea, but I kinda like the hellequin character myself. Sure it's a ripoff of the harlequin but the character design itself is nice compared to the thief or whatever. Plus, the hellequin isn't exclusive, while the harlequin is. So it's kind of like a consolation prize for people who don't preorder it from gamestop Laughing out loud

I don't pre-order games from Gamestop anymore. I'm sick of how they always offer lame pre-order bonuses for big games.

I'd rather recieve the exclusive armor from amazon then one more muliplayer character.

Exactly... I don't like GameStop it's the Walmart of video game stores I'd rather preorder on amazon.com (which is my opinion)

Eh, I guess, Harlequin is still cooler and that won't stop 12 year olds from gloating online FLAE&#039;s eye roll
