Been asking for a difficulty option in Assassins Creed since fckn forever. Hopefully this means I can do most of the quests without getting over-powered.
yup always liked AC games but they were always too easy it was faster to kill 20 guards than to run away lol
They already had difficulty in Origins. This is just adding a fourth setting.
