    What if there was an assassins creed in modern day where you played as a homeless man. It would give you an excuse to wear a hood and run around the city doing odd things while people try to just ignore that fact that some dude is climbing all over stuff.

    The citizens wouldn't find it as odd that some sketchy looking dude is just hanging out on a bench all day. It would also lend itself to the fact the citizens don't, or pretend they don't, recognize the same hooded fellow. Or at least why no citizen engages the hooded man in conversation often

    Joining the assassins to take down the controlling oppressive Templars would fit in, and it would give more credit to why you have to be sneaky and disappear into a crowd.

    This idea came to me while sitting in front of Berkeley library and seeing a rather cool looking homeless dude in a long coat and hood

    Only if you can have a dirty but lovable dog that follows you around.

    DLC mission is you playing as the dog.

    Sure, that sounds alright. Also, you'll leap into a dumpster full of bin bags as opposed to haystacks!

    Frankly, I'm opposed to your idea but I'll just point out that Ubisoft had close to this idea before. The original idea for Splinter Cell: Conviction was that. Let me just dig up a video:

    Demo starts at about 5:20.

    This sounds like a pretty poor idea. I do not think Ubisoft is capable of handling the the nuance required to portray homeless people in a non-offensive way. Homelessness is a huge problem and marginalizing that in anyway would most likely get a huge backlash.

    Modern day AC would just be Arrow with more murder.

    Yeah I'd be down with that.

    Sounds like what the modern day portion outside the Animus storyline should have been

    You wouldn't really be homeless though, you would just be a dingy assassin.

    Yeah I like that idea. As someone who's pretty tired of Assassin's Creed, that would make for a good change of pace.

    Not actually a bad idea, but I fear this thread will just inspire people to insult homeless people.
