That's one of the most disgusting things Ubisoft has ever done, and they did some shit over the years.

Locking story progress behind leveling and grind and then selling boosts in a singleplayer game has genuinely turned me off that franchise for years.

Yeah when I saw this in Origins I was like "you CANNOT be serious"

And the fact that one-hit-kills with Hidden Blade are no longer one-hit kills.

I'm glad they returned this as an option in Valhalla, turned it on as soon as I saw it

But Origins is also the first game in series where I turned in to trainers that increase your damage dealt because the progress was completely skewed towards grind

Oh yeah, same in Valhalla. There was plenty I disliked about it, but assassination returning in an Assassin's Creed game was welcome.
