Assassin's Creed Origins Hands-On: 12 Things We Learned

9. No More Instant-Fail Stealth Or Tailing Missions

Confirmed not only in gameplay but also through an interview with Ubisoft's Ashraf Ishmail, no longer will we fail missions by 'leaving the main area' or being spotted by some target that was listlessly wandering towards a far-away goal.

Ishmail notes,

"We're going with a quest structure because we have a world that's really alive and big, we wanted to make sure that all frictions of 'you've left the zone' or 'you've been detected' -- these are not conditions that fail quests or missions"

It might seem like a small quality-of-life improvement, but for fans of AC who've played - and failed - missions for a decade now thanks to buggy A.I. scripts and awkward animations, it is a godsend knowing this is no longer the case.
