Bayek is the most brutal assassin yet his assassinations are boring

Bayek is absolutely my favorite AC protagonist and a lot of that is due to his rage, the way he bashed medunamun’s skull in or shoves mask into Rudjek is absolutely brutal.

His combat finishers are absolutely brutal and stylish as well, with all that being said, bayek arguably has the least exciting and stylish assassination animations in the series.

There are a total of what 5-7 animations? All of them are straight up grabbing/rotating/knocking down a guard and just stabbing them. The only upside to this is that it’s fast.

However there is no personality to them, I would expect some flair, some brutality, animations similar to Conor’s assassinations, or eivor’s multiple stab assassinations.

Honestly this one of the biggest flaws that reveals itself more during a replay, and I assume it’s due to origins being the first RPG game on the updated anvil engine, and they didn’t have enough time to motion capture and get creative with the assassinations.
