What are your thoughts on Canon Mode

For me personally, love the idea and will be turning it on at least for the first playthrough.

I get the want to make it an rpg but that Trilogy felt like there were no real choices that really affected the outcome of the game, thought still really enjoyable.

Iirc when mass effect 2 or 3 came out, we had the ability to import game data from the previous titles, would AC benefit from that if they were truly to embrace rpg again?
