LOL, except for the Kangaroo robots I could get into a mod like that! The one thing that makes me wonder if AC is worth my while is the forced used of stealth like in Hitman, Double Agent, etc. I like to have bloodier more action filled options to explore, especially in a game where you can climb anything pretty quickly to escape then dive 30' down onto a hay cart and get lost in a crowd.
You never really have to use stealth, it's just harder to fight, supposedly... but not really because combat is pretty simple in AC.Yeah, you don't HAVE to use stealth in a lot of stealth games, but you're usually so penalized for not using it you comply. Like in Hitman 2 you can avoid stealth, if you want to be gang attacked by mass amounts of enemies using poor aim, cover and run mechanics, only to get a mass murderer rating after completing the mission, blowing any chance of unlockables.
In Assassin's Creed you can probably add a slide show to the above tradeoffs of not using stealth because Ubi rather sucks at optimizing their games, the required spec tends to show that.
