>That's the thing you don't seem to understand though, I don't want to play that clunky faggot that cannot climb anything when AC is all about freerunning and stealth
I completely understand that and it feels like ass to have to climb anything with him because he can't even do that thing where he jumps to a rooftop hold above him to pull himself onto a rooftop like any other AC MC. His Leap of Faith also locks you into an animation where he has to recover after landing in the hay pile and in some locations enemies are around said hay pile so you get hit during it.
>they ruined it by forcing you to play "le action character" in some sections
They only make you play him in sections where you actively have to fight hordes of people. It's literally just combat segments where you're expected to run around breaking down doors and killing 20+ people. The very first playable segment of the game is him going around murdering like 10 soldiers as they take over Iga, and then the next time you play him at all is when he's going to meet Naoe where he has to kill like 20 soldiers to reach her location. Past that it's just going to talk to some people and then visiting bandit camps or other enemy-dense camps to murder them. None of his segments expect you to parkour or anything and nearly always take you to places where the environment isn't really meant to be run around, just fought in.
