It is a testament to the game that I can sink that much time into it and its still fun and fresh. Not unlike Inquisition. Hey colfoley FYI I took down The Minotaur with ease this afternoon using the Pirate set build, so then decided to try The Arena, I defeated 3 opponents without any difficulty at all but relied a lot on Ring of Chaos and Heroic Strike. I wouldn't mind the Arena if they didn't do the waves of enemies first, its boring and time wasting. Took some great screenshots but they didn't save, damn FRAPS.

I would've had it so you can do the repeat waves but you only kill the 'boss' once.

I think my first PT took 275 hours but that was without DLC. I am currently sitting on 407hrs having completed LoTFB and having started another PT and stopped after 15 - 20hrs. I then started a new one (current PT) but have no idea how far I am through it.

To my boyfriend after I discover the cult of Kosmos in the early part of the game - (major spoiler) Lol, I bet the leader is Ass-pats-cccccciiah 80 hours in.... There were no other prominent women in the game for it to be? Come to think of it, of other prominent people, I killed them all!

There were no other prominent women in the game for it to be? Come to think of it, on other prominent people, I killed them all! I forget if I had that particular fact spoiled for me or if I figured it out for myself...but yes...it is rather obvious when you think about it. Anyways continuing on with my Kass playthrough. Got up through to Thermopoly so now I am off to Andros. And somehow Alexios is pretty...drag queen creepy...as Deimos. This time through I did have to wonder which of the cultists were which cultist. I mean it is rather obvious at the end of the day I suppose butkind of curious if we run into anyone who is really particular. Also I have to wonder just how badly you can cock things up down there. It seems fairly likely that nothing will change too much...because it can't...if you refuse to do any of the rituals but Kass coming in Elpenor's robes should've been their first clue. My lack of luck continues for the second time straigh though not nearly as bad. While going in for Photios's pre tirement got discovered by someone but I vanished, broke content and then went back to being fairly successful in the sneaking. Also doing the first bit of the Daughter's of Artemis with the boar I was going to RA said Boar and then use up a Heroic strike...and I accidentally hit the HS button in the middle of the air and then the boar spotted me even before I could get too close.... Really liking Kass so far. Playing her as someone who mistosing is just a job for her, something to help put food on the table but considering she inherited a lot of Drachmae from a certain someone...she doesen't even have to push too hard...plus she just finds it everywhere. She doesen't always want to kill unlesss it is for a job or if someone gets in her way in combat but she will prefer just sneaking in and doing a job or knocking people out. She also is triggered by the Cult and Family but rather is someone who is fairly level headed other than that. Is not a glory seeker and has no interest in selling her body...though I might still do that to get the funny scene with Supideo.

I just try and pimp some devastating shots into them by entering there "arena" as far from them as practical and then usually two or three Heroic Strikes take them down and if they have helper pigs etc. then Ring of Chaos gets used as well.

On the subject of bad luck though...I got killed by a snake.

So yesterday, had a weird day and got side tracked doing stuff in Messara and Pephka. Finished the pre-quests for The Minotaur and took him down fairly easily and managed not to fall to my death whilst navigating The Labyrinth. Then dcided to test the Priate Crit set build out in The Arena, fought 3 or 4 opponents and then got tires of it, I hate the wave of enemies mechanic. Took some good shots in the arena and of The Minotaur but they didn't save!!!!!! Killed some merc's and a cultist as well and Hrungr did an epic Lynx battle, at least twenty of the buggers. Saw them and was going to navigate around them but what's a Misthios's life without a challenge!!!!! Plus 600+ soft leather is always a bonus!!!! So many Lynx couldn't fit them all in the screenshot!!!!! Had to settle for this shot of The Minotaur Kass taking a dive under The Milky Way Scenery

Damn snakes in tombs, they can rid of that stupid damn idea anytime they want. I haven't ever died from one but I have actually been scared numerous times by the bastards. Origins was worse IIRC, the damn things used to be hiding in the grass in lots of places.

My Brother In-Law was playing on console next to me when I started playing Origins and the bastard deliberately didn't tell me about the damn snakes just to see my reaction!!!!! Apparently this is how you get rid of them

Hey has anyone encountered problems with doing Barnabas quest a friend to die for? Does anyone know if you have to do it in a particular order, I had no problems last time but I just tried to do the Witch quest and the marker was in the completely wrong place in the middle of the sea and 150m further down than you could swim? Sailed to Paros Island but the marker stayed in the wrong place????
Anyway switched to The Cyrens one and the marker is in the right place, hopefully the witch one will be ok after doing the Cyrens one.

Maybe that's the bug then cause I tried doing the nearest one first and I am pretty sure last time it wasn't the witch and I definitely did the Cyclops last. Oh well will complete the Cyrens today and see if the witch pops up in the right place.

Let's see here:
So I went to the island of Andros to unlock the secrets of the spear... and make it more powerful *cough*. I'm not sure I'm digging Alexios as Deimos as much as Kass, the scene lacked a certain punch to it. It was also interesting the switch in the dialogue between killing and not killing Nikilaos...but that it kind of ended in the same place. What with me lying about killing step daddy the first time and me then killing daddy this time. Alexios still did the "we're not very different you and I" speech.
I also read through more of Layla's notes and texts this time then last. Which left me interested and confused. It seems to drop a lot of future plotpoints in the game itself. Alethia, the staff, Hermes, Pythagoras... I just wonder how they know all this without going through the game as it were...tie in from Origins.
Finished off with a pit stop to Athens so think I'm about to start doing some side questing.

Not to say that Alexios is lacking; I don't think his performance is and I prefer him as Deimos, I just think that the devs spent some more time with Kassandra whether as the player or as Deimos. Kassandra has been one of my favorite female characters in a while.

Kassandra has been one of my favorite female characters in a while. I agree, Alexios performance wasn't bad but I couldn't complete my Alexios PT, I thought he VA just tried too hard with the mucho type voice. What I saw of Kassandra as Deimos, I agree I thought she played that better as well but I much prefer playing as her and with Alexios as Deimos. I have no hesitation in saying Kassandra/Melissanthe Mahut is my favourite female VA, I think she just nailed it after a bit of a slow start and yeah she is a great character as well.

I'm not sure I'm digging Alexios as Deimos as much as Kass, the scene lacked a certain punch to it. From what I've seen, and read from others, Kassandra had a better performance overall. Not to say that Alexios is lacking; I don't think his performance is and I prefer him as Deimos, I just think that the devs spent some more time with Kassandra whether as the player or as Deimos. Kassandra has been one of my favorite female characters in a while. I know...I get the feeling (and this just might be my imagination) but it does seem like Kass has A. a lot more personality then Alexios and B. a lot more dialogue barks...for lack of a better term...just random little comments out of nowhere and just seems so much more lively when on the ship or when hunting. If I didn't know better I'd accuse them of adding in Alexios as an afterthought the way it looks. If I weren't enjoying the performance so much I'd be a little annoyed.

Actually you may be right re adding Alexios as not an after thought but maybe as a lesser priority, I thought it may have just been my imagination but Kass does seem to have a few more lines and I think more conversation with Barnabas.

It is weird in the RPG field...and of course this comes down to personal opinion...but it is just so bizarre how often the female voice actress performs better...even if only slightly...then the male. I've preffered Fem Shep, Fem Hawke, Femquisitor and now Kass. Only RPGs I've played where I've preffered the man is Andromeda and Tom Taylorson. I guess if I'd have to choose between the two in FO 4 it would be Courtney Taylor but neither of them delivered great perfomrances (though that could be a problem with RP). And since voice acting quality often determines which of the characters I consider my 'canon' pts and the people I am likely to replay over and over again... I just wonder if these companies do tend to cast better women VAs for one reason or another...or if its just that I just prefer the sound of women's voices more...because they are women.

I've seen some other speculation about Kassandra v. Alexios as the main character. Maybe having two player characters was originally the main idea, but maybe Melissanthi did well enough for them to push Kassandra more than Alexios. Either way, for having the VAs as the protagonist and antagonist, they both did a very impressive job.
