They wouldn't be MORE work than that unique male character,though, which there are 4 of. That's where my bullshit radar goes of.

IIRC, all the multiplayer avatars are the same character (Arno, I think?), just wearing different outfits. It's not like they created 3 completely new characters.

My only guess is body type. The male characters might have the same, err, frames? Polygons? What would you call it? Body figure, anyway. A female character would require animating a different, new body type. While I'm very skeptical, still, I can see how there might be a little bit of room for argument there.

Yeah it's a very small shaving of time/money in the long run but if you know you're going to have the choice between finishing a level and implementing a new character the character is probably gonna go. It's not just about boob physics. I don't know about Assassin's Creed but a lot of games hire people to act out the parts to mo-cap, body and expressions. A female character isn't harder than a male but it is more work to have both.

With as many games as they've put out in 7 years I can see where shaving that time off would matter.

As a bit of an anecdote I played a game where they had male and female characters and early after the release there was a glitch where the female might take on the male character's animations and people noticed it and some where like really mad about it until they patched it. So the people that say it's just as easy as skinning a male character into a female are kinda wrong. People notice these things. Fighting can probably be the same but the character is in the subtleties.
