All major choices and consequences in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
There are certain key moments in Assassin's Creed Shadows where you'll need to make some firm decisions, which will determine the outcomes during your main campaign. While minor choices don't really make a difference in gameplay, the same can't be said about the major ones. So far, we have come across a fair few decision-making scenarios that have a telling influence on how the story progresses.

Forgive the raiders By doing the same thing that Yaya would eventually do, you'll gain her favor. This will also allow you to recruit her as an ally and summon her during battles. There's a similar choice you'll have to make in The Stray Dogs quest, where you can choose to either forgive or make Tetsuo responsible for their action. Like the raiders, Yaya will decide to forgive Tetsuo, so doing the same will help you to get Yaya's favor. These are all the major choices we have come across, along with their consequences.

Introduction to Dialog Choices
During the introductory quest, you'll have a meeting with Oda Nobunaga. You'll have two choices.
- Tell Oda that you understand him
- Stay quiet
In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor choice, so it doesn't matter what option you pick. Since it's the first introduction to dialog choices, I have decided to include it in this guide. In terms of this choice, you can choose the one you prefer. Your choice, as I said, won't have any telling impact on how the story progresses.
What should you choose for the Tea Ceremony
The first significant choice-making option appears at the Tea Ceremony as you continue your pursuit of the Golden Teppo. To find the culprit, you'll have to confront either Wakasa or Otama.
What happens if you confront Wakasa
You'll have to go to Wakasa's house and assassinate here as soon as possible.
What happens if you confront Otama
You'll have to chase Otama and assassinate her, but you'll soon learn who the real culprit is. (Hint: Don't confront Otama).
Should you stop Mitsumune from killing the samurai
This choice appears after you kill Koretake. Your ally will threaten some of his soldiers, and both Naoe and Mitsumune will want them killed. You have two options to pick from.
Justice must be served
You choose to side with your allies, but this will displease Yaya.
Spare them
This is a better choice as it will keep Yaya on your side and give you a chance to recruit her later.
Should you punish or spare the Shrine raiders
The choice to spare or punish a band of Shrine raiders appears as part of Yaya's questline. You'll have two options to pick from, and the result will determine if you get to recruit Yaya later in the game.
Punish the raiders
You won't gain Yaya's favor. Typically, she doesn't like violence, and taking this path could ruin your chances to have her as a potential ally.
Forgive the raiders
By doing the same thing that Yaya would eventually do, you'll gain her favor. This will also allow you to recruit her as an ally and summon her during battles.
There's a similar choice you'll have to make in The Stray Dogs quest, where you can choose to either forgive or make Tetsuo responsible for their action. Like the raiders, Yaya will decide to forgive Tetsuo, so doing the same will help you to get Yaya's favor.
These are all the major choices we have come across, along with their consequences. If you're struggling with riddles, make sure to check out this guide to solve all of them in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
