The latest *Assassin’s Creed* titles have embraced an RPG style, introducing players to dialogue choices during interactions with NPCs. These choices can be tough to make, and if you're considering using Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here’s what you should know.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Canon Mode Explained

Canon Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* eliminates the player's ability to select dialogue options. When activated, all conversations will proceed automatically, with the game choosing responses for you. This mode ensures you experience the story along the canon path, where characters Yasuke and Naoe respond as originally envisioned by the writers. If your goal is to follow the intended narrative closely, Canon Mode could enhance your experience. Remember, however, that this setting can only be selected at the start of a new game and cannot be toggled on or off like the Guided Exploration feature once gameplay begins.

Should You Use Canon Mode?

Unlike *Assassin’s Creed Odyssey*, where choices significantly impact the story's outcome, the decisions in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* are less pivotal. The dialogue options here serve more to add flavor and depth to the characters Yasuke and Naoe, allowing players to portray them as either compassionate or ruthless. If you value this aspect of character customization, you might prefer to disable Canon Mode and enjoy the freedom to shape their personalities. However, since these choices have minimal impact on the overarching story, opting for Canon Mode won’t detract significantly from your experience.
