Assassins Creed Odyssey

So yesterday continued with the Weekly (did some forts for Strategoi) and only have one marksman yet to kill. Sunk the weekly ship without too much grief and the nearest port and place I hadn't opened up was Roxana's Island so headed there knocker her on her ass in a fight, killed some wolves and then beat her in a running race even though I wasn't paying enough attention (damn wife distracting me with inane gibberish) and got stuck on a post. Epic comeback and beat her by a couple of steps.

Also killed many Mercenaries after a fort went wrong.   

Then Kass decided it was time to relax with some wine with Roxy and indulge in some night time exercise!!!!

Kass on killing one of many in a quarry



Messed around with my armour



Reverted back thought it'd impress Roxana more.



Having fun with Roxanna



Off to defeat the weekly ship

I think she is one of the best NPC's in the game and I romanced her even though it meant killing Thaletas and lying to her.

Here's a Kyra gallery for you. 

So....

Pt 2 of 'Assassins Creed Odyssey is really uncomfortable to play during the year 2020.' Got to the Athens in a bottle arc, the Phoibe dies arc, the finally tracking down Myrnnie arc and reporting in on all the clues, arc. And let's see here we have a plague ravaging Athens and killing people, a Greek politician who promises...to restore Athens to its former glory...by going against the elitist politicians who are ignoring the plight of the common man. Oh and also those same elitist politicians are also concerned that those nuckle draggers will destroy everything they have been working for. Perhaps bonus points that the Cult of Kosmos has infiltrated both parties...yeah I'll just leave that there.

Also bumped into Myrnnie and worked through...well her entire plot line. Given that I was supposed to weaken Paros for the eventual attack and considering that Myrnnie mentioned they were in control of a cultist I had little issue with killing every last one of tem. This, of course, took me to the fortified marble quarry and well another one of the distinct areas in the game that also ends up being a lot of trouble for me. And well I solved that by being super aggressive...so it was still a lot of trouble for me! A merc showed up at the end as they do but at least I got through with it at one sitting I just eventually went all Green Arrow on them and killed every last one of them and got some seriously sexy bow action. Which of course led to the duel naval battles, first time breaking the blockade I lost but a lot more aggressive the second time and I got through it...despite being down to red health...same ting happened again when I took out the fleet around Paros island. I find it a bit off putting that Silanos ends up being a Cultist for the P-league and not the Gods of the Aegean given he comes out and fights in a ship...

So back to Achaia and keeping in mind some of the above I engaged a merc with the intention to subdue them, I succeeded and seemed I lucked out, one of their crew perks is to 'create weakspots on start of conflict'. Should be interesting to test out...in the few fights I will fight. Also cleared out the fort and brought the Nation level to zero so lets hope it stays that way for the conquest battle so I can keel the cultist.

Sad to think this may be my last post in this thread at least for a while due to Valhallas release.   

What a great experience for me at least Odyssey has been, good game and great discussions and great pic's especially from BSN's best photographer Hrungr

Thanks to all who participated and shared there experiences and screenshots.

TWO of my favourite Hrungr shots:





Some of my own favourites

Hey Hrungr sure, can't see a reason why we can't do it now as if we wait till the game is playable I will be playing at least 12hrs after other countries because it will release at midnight here.

What I really liked about this thread and the people who contributed was that there was a lot of fun and enjoyment and not a lot of negativity. Tt was also great to see people play an AC game for the first time and for the most part enjoy it.

One of the main things I remember in the thread without delving back through it was DragonKingReborn comments re the Roosters
  and how funny the resultant comments were. But overall yes it was amazing that it has been running for 2 years and that people are still playing and posting re the game.

Sure, we're close enough to launch. Whenever you have time and want to create one...

Already done.  

Death Island....

Are the chickens in Valhalla just as homicidal?

Apart from the severed limbs, blood, and murder-chickens, it's actually quite a nice beach... 

LOL the Governor General of Australia just referenced Alkibiades in an interview about politics. 😄😄

No goat unfortunately, just a reference to just being himself rather than just conforming to a political norm. 🐐

I did the Kytheria arc with Diona and A. my God that has to be horniest woman in the entire game. I was about to say something else but not sure how it would be received. and B. Its a really good thing I was paying attention. I was just musing to myself before finishing the quest that it would be neat if the order of the sisters changes randomly on new PTs that way you could not remember via a 'cheat'. Well if that's true or not it was a good thing I was paying attention to the actual dialog because I could've sworn it was the sister on the LEFT but when the one on the right said "BY THE FATES" my face did that blinky guy meme. Also it was funny that I know that guards ambush you on the way to the temple and they did this time, but I didn't see them so I ran on to the confrontation and as I approached it said 'must be anonymous to interact'. So I looked behind me, still did not see anything, so i tried again...and this time I noticed a cultist guard confused looking in the distance so I told the girls "hang on I'll brb" and then predatored the guard in question.

For the first time this playthrough I also finished a timed bounty quest before actually talking to the quest giver. Was surrounded by Followers of Ares so I bashed em with my staff then when 'arrow for you...arrow for you...arrow for you.' Then got the notice which always makes me smile '...or perhaps she was feeling especially violent that day.' And one more thing too, I've been using Battlecry of Ares the enhanced version now a lot more finally irnoginr my wife's advice...but its hilarious because my initial sock wave that happens when you activate it is enough to kill all people. I think of it as going super-saiyan.

So there was an entire whole quest line cluster in Lakonia that I had no idea wich existed. Trying to track down the Trojan Horse quest and well it starts with another quest so no wonder I did not get it. But yeah Training Days was...actually kind of an interesting quest. Didn't just sound too appealing or I confused it with something else. It was also amusing though because the kid was going to tell Kass about why shields were so important to Spartans...but ten was cut off by a boar attac or something. But other than that te kid was kind of cute. The quest later with Theoreos one of those annoying little investigation quests but yeah I did that too which then unlocked an additional four quests.
