I’m not against a female lead. However, this approach of “let player swap between male or female lead at will” make most of the story & dialogue very bland. Just compare between AC: Origin & Odyssey. A lot of the missions & their dialogue in Odyssey felt very generic & bland, since the writes needed to accommodate the mission for both male & female charter. In Origin, the writer(s) could wrote the mission with some specific responses & emotions from a male & female perspective.
