At the beginning of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you encounter a dialogue option when playing as Yasuke/Diogo. During the prologue, while bowing in front of Oda Nobunaga, you can choose between “I Understand You Well” and “Say Nothing”. As the conversation progresses, Nobunaga observes that Yasuke possesses the instincts of a warrior, with his gaze scanning for any potential threats. Father Valignano interjects, suggesting that Yasuke fails to truly understand them—a statement that contradicts the reality. So, is it wise to acknowledge your understanding or remain silent? What repercussions could arise from these choices? Below, we outline the consequences of each decision.
Choosing Between “I Understand You Well” or “Say Nothing” in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

- By selecting “I understand you well,” you’ll evoke surprise among the characters, leading to a quick retort from Oda Nobunaga directed at Father Valignano.
- If you choose “Say nothing,” Father Valignano will continue the discussion without interruption.
Without delving into spoilers, it’s important to note that neither choice alters the story’s outcome; however, it affects how characters respond to Yasuke. Following this encounter, the storyline will converge regardless of your selection, and Oda Nobunaga will suspect that Yasuke comprehends his intentions.

After opting for “Say Nothing,” you face another choice where you can respond with either “I was following Valignano’s orders” or “I am still learning your language and customs”. In this instance, just like before, either response will suffice as it doesn’t impact the narrative.

That wraps up this guide. For more significant decisions such as those involving specific confrontations, turning the bowl, and solving riddles, make sure to explore our additional guides.
