So let me get this straight, its called Odyssey, takes place in ancient Greece, there IS magic if that glowing sword is anything to go by, and you're still not playing as Odysseus himself?! Like the fuck is that shit?! Hell I would have settled for Jason and his Argonauts, but no! Going by that trailer is just looks like a Greek skin of Black Flag
If the protagonist were Odysseus wouldn't it limit the game to wandering away from civilization (ie. cities) for most of the game? Like as soon as you hit a town the "odyssey" is over. Hell, the fast travel system alone would ruin the thing.
Jason would be an easier fit but again, his whole thing is that he goes away on a quest, which doesn't mesh with AC's dealio of faffing about town. I'm sure you'll run into them or some other Greek hero along the way though.
