No. If the time period and the narrative behind it make a female lead a good idea then I would support the inclusion of a female lead. But, if they are just going to fling a woman in purely for the purpose of saying &quot;Look, we now have a woman, everyone clap at how diverse we are!&quot;, then that is not exactly a good thing is it? As someone who has recently completed a dissertation on women within a masculine domain (women/girls are still a minority consumer in the industry), I can tell you women would prefer no coverage than a novelty, &quot;See we are diverse&quot; coverage.<br /> <br /> Would you be happy if they put a woman lead in an AC game, for no other purpose than &quot;well, look how diverse we are&quot;? If that is why they would do it, it would not work, it would feel, yes, shoehorned in, and the end product would suffer. <br /> <br /> For example, what if they announced 40ish - 69 AD Roman Empire (With smaller locations in Britannia and the Eastern Roman territories). And they said &quot;We have a female lead&quot; (Whisper: &quot;Because people complained we didn't have one, we wanted to show our diversity&quot;). It would be awful. That is an extreme example, but it would be the same in all time periods. The time period, the story and the reason for having a female lead (game development speaking) must be right. Otherwise it won't work. <br /> <br /> But hey, if you think throwing in a female just to show diversity, meaning a female lead is squeezed and bullied into a narrative plot and time period... fine... but the end result won't be as a good as past games.</div>

Barely.<br /> The writer never had a leg to stand on with his case; and the only people that noticed the case was those that actually look for info/articles about the games<br /> Patriots were killed just as much as Brits (And lets be honest, the ending really made the newly formed American government look shite and dishonourable.<br /> PETA try and have a say on anything to do with animals... and everyone effectively laughed at PETA for being stupid... especially after Ubi made 'em look that little more ridiculous with their response<br /> TBH, the whole female character thing kinda came from no where... we will always be playing as Arno (Just with one of 3 different faces when in someone else's game)... why would he suddenly change his gender during co op? Could a female lead have been used in this game (in replacement to Arno)? Maybe. I just really don't want them to throw a woman in for the sole purpose of shouting... &quot;SEE A WOMAN!! WE ARE DIVERSE&quot; that, to me shows a lack of it, that fact that a point is made to put a woman in just for that purpose of... being able to say it. If it works narratively... fine... but shoehorning? No. People are making mountains out of mole hills. :)</div>
