Assassins Creed Odyssey (What you did today *SPOILERS*)

Thanks for letting me know, I was tempted last time to say it was him because I have always followed his instructions but in the end it gets you nothing supporting all the time anyway.

So sold off all my stuff. I am rather surprised at just how much legendary gear you have...even after selling everything off I still had 149 slots filled. Yikes. Though this did also inspire me to look at the transmog and play around with a few things on that end. Namely what caught my eye is the 'Origins' armor...they added the cosmetic kass was wearing at the end of the game in the new DLC into the game. And well...its weird. Its close but A. I like the beat up look of the Master Assassin gear...and it looked weirdly modern.

From there though went to Eubeo. But it was fun because going there I thought going 'right' wouldn't be too easy so I decided to go 'left' to swing around the island that way...the island turned out to be the mainland. So that didn't work out.

And...got to Eubea and did a little more guilt free murder murder. The set up here is always a little ridicilious considering it seems like 'the authorities are actively engaged in helping out the Dagger and supporting his operation. Plus in the whole warehouse thing there was a very tight nit group gathered around the guy you needed to get. So.... I answered with an overpowered shot, which wiped them out. Also overpowered shotted the people harrasing the theater people. But weirdly enough between this and then the whole Fort where the farmer was sent didn't seem like any of my murdering actually caused me to acrue a bounty so that was nice.

Archery is fun, until you miss a point blank shot on the cultist guard who then proceeds to whack you one. Still dealt with him but ugh.

This playthrough continues to be boundless in its weirdness. I think something that happened for the first time. I was just goofing off knocking into one of the soldiers that joined my attack with Myrinne on the Naxos beach. And he said something like 'I'm warning you!' so I kept at it wondering if he would actually do anything. But then I got bored and paused to spend my ability point but when I unpaused...he started attacking me! I was able to knock him out of course I wasn't intersted in killing him. But then it got weirder...after following Myrinne back into Naxos I discovered the soldier who put the bounty on me...for repelling the soldiers on the beach. And he started attacking me to without any provocation at all! And then more guards joined in to! I was rather proud of myself though because I loured the final guard to an out of the way corner of Naxos and just waited for him. He eventually came on in looking for me still and I knocked him out to.

Oh and also before I forget to riding around Naxos with Myrinne and there was a peasent...I thought we would clear him...but Myrinne didn't...and she knocked him into my horse's path.

So kind of turns out the big bug from last night might not have been that big of a bug...which makes it crashing even more of an interesting and concerning fact that it did so.

But in the end continued on with the mission and what happened was you actually had to dock with the closest dock to Xenia and then the DLC will trigger. Which I just underestimated the travel distances involved which is why I didn't pursue it last night.

From there hit Phokis and looked for that one cultist in the wolf den...which ended up going into Malis. Whic I got eventually and then later the first God of the Aegean...

Also did the whole Lalia village thing. Got what's her face killed. I must say I have been sort of keeping a bit of a running tally in my head. Based on Dragon Age 4s sub forum the thread in there 'no good deed goes unpunished' about good actions leading to bad outcomes. Of course the issue I have...which I'd go into if I ever go in there ...is that it has to make sense. It can't be an issue of an unset up negative consequence...see the Witcher 3...but it has to actually make sense and be set up for it to go wrong. And I think ACOD does a good job enough of that, just take the 'blood fever quest'. I bring this up though because I am a bit uncertain if that qualifies for that. The choice for Lalaia is to go after the scouts or the weapon caches. Now Thyia did make reference to how the scouts could cut their throats in their sleep...so that works for set up. But it is still a little bizarre in its own way because you go to the caches and wipe them out...that is basic military tactics one oh one. Wipe out someone's supplies and they cannot effectively fight a war so they should retreat. And as bonus points here the scouts only got the attempt because the SoX was still able to launch an attack. I don't know I am probably putting way too much thought into this and it is still probably effective from a story perspective, it does get the emotion going, but I just don't like the feeling that to avoid the death I would have to meta game here and I am just having trouble fully justifying Kass's choice either way. Though I think one of them dies either way?

Pephka/ Messara has to be one of my favorite areas in the game. Did the whole Minotour thing and it still has me in stiches...love that quest so much. I also love it I always tend to pick the whole 'this is for your sick mother' thinking it will be a sarcastic response but in a way that makes it better still when you reject it still .

Got up to starting the Minitaur arc (the real one) with the sword fish. I always don't know why but this is one of the things I always have trouble remembering how to start so it took me a couple of minutes to realize you had to talk to the kid which gets you in the direction of the Swordfish. Also the bandit camp with Leandros was quite fun becauwse that gives me fits to...just not this time. I actually sniped from the clips and thinned them out before going in with a Rush assassination to get three more of them. BCAd the rest of the encampment essentially.

I miss Kasandra so much. 

Poke the Cyclops in his other eye for me. 

I thought the game itself allowed you to turn off HUD elements?

Getting ready to do the arena quest in Fate of Atlantis part 3.

Welcome, fellow connoisseur






Seriously, though - well done.  For all the negative talk around their release, this thing barely raises a sweat no matter what gets thrown at it.

Enjoy.
