The more recent *Assassin’s Creed* games have shifted towards an RPG genre, introducing players to dialogue options when interacting with NPCs. These choices can be tricky, and if you're pondering whether to use Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's what you need to know.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Canon Mode Explained
Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* eliminates the ability to choose dialogue options. By selecting this mode, all in-game conversations will unfold automatically, with the game deciding your responses for you. The purpose of Canon Mode is to ensure you follow the canonical storyline, where characters Yasuke and Naoe interact in the manner originally envisioned by the writers. If experiencing the story as intended by its creators is important to you, Canon Mode is the way to go.
Keep in mind, however, that Canon Mode is only selectable when starting a new game. Once your game is underway, you cannot switch Canon Mode on or off, unlike features like Guided Exploration.
Should You Use Canon Mode?
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, unlike *Assassin’s Creed Odyssey*, your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story's outcome. The dialogue options here are more about adding flavor and shaping the personalities of Yasuke and Naoe. You can decide to portray them as more compassionate or more ruthless. If these character nuances matter to you, consider turning off Canon Mode to tailor your gameplay experience. However, since these choices have minimal effect on the overarching narrative, opting for Canon Mode might feel like a non-issue.
