The latest entries in the *Assassin’s Creed* series have embraced the RPG genre, introducing dialogue choices when interacting with NPCs. These choices can be challenging, and if you're considering using Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's what you should know.
Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* eliminates the ability to select dialogue options. When activated, all in-game conversations will proceed automatically, with the game choosing your responses. This mode ensures you follow the story's canon path, where characters Yasuke and Naoe respond as originally intended by the writers. If experiencing the narrative as envisioned by the creators is important to you, Canon Mode could enhance your gameplay experience. Remember, Canon Mode can only be selected at the start of a new game and cannot be toggled on or off like Guided Exploration once the game has begun.
Unlike *Assassin’s Creed Odyssey*, where choices significantly impact the story, the dialogue options in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* are more about flavor than consequence. They allow you to shape the personalities of Yasuke and Naoe, choosing whether they come across as more compassionate or ruthless. If these character nuances are important to you, consider turning off Canon Mode to tailor your experience. However, since these choices have minimal impact on the overall narrative, opting for Canon Mode might not feel like a significant decision either way.
That's all you need to know about Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
