Why is the extra content in AC Odyssey so intrusive?
So I got the urge to play AC Odyssey for the second time, but I find some of the features really annoying.
I already played the three parts of the Atlantis DLC on my first playthrough and I didn't like them. Especially Elysium was super tedious after the honeymoon phase with the art direction wore off. I don't want to play it again at all. Can I choose to not install it like one would reasonably expect? Nope, here's 30+ gigabytes of useless dead weight for your SSD, enjoy!
When I open the in-game map it shows me map icons for screenshots taken by random other players. Just...why? You can *temporarily* turn this feature off but it re-enables itself every single time the game is launched.
And the worst part, the "Rewards". These are all added to your game by default. Nothing immerses you in that greek epic atmosphere like having XIXth century London gang members running your ship or cosplaying as a guy from the Italian Renaissance, amirite? I would prefer to not have any of this extra inventory clutter. Not on my ship storage, not among my lieutenants, not in my transmog menu, not anywhere. Why can't I opt out?
Why does everything need to be so obnoxious and pushy?
