Assassins Creed Odyssey

Shields would've been awesome, no idea why they decided not to give the player the option maybe it was to un AC or to much with the staff/dagger of Leonidas, but when the secondary weapon option became available equiping a shield woulda been great, i'd a totally went shield an spear all day tbh.

If next games set in Roman Empire it better be a option cause it does seem a oversight no being able to equip one

Yeah no deny it acts the part, woulda just been great to make a build around actual shield play though

I was tempted but at the end of the day Alexios really has no right to complain about radicals

So I am mystified at the amount of crap that I was able to do last night. What started with me having a relaxing and rather fun night with Kyra on the beach, I do love that romance/ character, ended with me giving a...I think Spartan...commander a cast shaped like Alkibides's 'member.'

...

Anyways so yeah I finished up 'Goddess on the Hunt' and while I am still expecting some sort of dasterdly twist where I did the 'wrong thing' so far I am pleased. I mean its possible I missed something (or its possible this quest is a 'gotcha!') but Thelatas didn't express any feelings about Kyra one way or the other and its not like they were betrothed to one another so hopefully...

After that I went to follow up the lead to release the 'god' out of prison. A nearly naked man who seemed a little cu cu. Not sure I would've even bothered continuing, especially right now, but he mentioned 'a disk' and since I fought the Minotaur I was like, eh he might be onto something afterall. Anyways eventually followed him to a cave and I fought a cyclops (dun dun dun!)...which was coincedentally a MUCH easier fight than with Mini. Lumbering brute and he didn't even hit that hard. I alternated poison arrows and fireabilities. But this quest line does beg a few questions, while I don't think the guy was actually a god but it is curious that he thought he was given he was in possession of the tech of the first civilization and given what I am starting to suspect about the plotline of this game it makes it reallllyyy interesting. Doubly so since I am getting the sneaking suspcion that these 'apples' are mutating creatures (maybe even people) into the monstrosities we fought. I mean after I defeated mister cyclops it seemed like it left a naked guy behind...though that could've been 'the god'.

Anyways running out of time to give my fiancee the system so she could play Red Dead I ran into a fort to deliver 'the package' and got caught on the way out...tonight I should take out the Fort. But then maybe good practice for my Kass?

Only other noteworthy thing that happened attacked a merc and the usual happened, guards got involved, then civies got involved...it was then i realized 'wait I have parilizying arrows' so I left them writhing on the ground and dashed off.

Basically just been grinding resources today via usual methods of forts, conquest etc, had upgraded the pirates set to use on assassin builds so was time for a warrior set an since my hunter an assassin were nigh the same as in best results from stealth i went fudge it an decided to go the Agamemnon route an set every thing on fire for warrior which tbh turned out better (an more fun) than i thought, weapons of choice are mace of everlasting lust an staff of herpes, which for some reason is actually a spear but whatever.

There is something very satisfying with using overpower ability an a 2H mace or running through a fort gathering all the enemies then setting them all on fire with them shouting "im on fucking fire put it out put it out"

Yeah i do think i may stay this build for awhile an try different weapons out, quite fun

I never heard or read there was a book or just misread something. I dare not buy another book atm my wife would kill me but I will get this sometime soon.  

Empodokales or whatever his name is was most definitely not a god, he's the body on the floor that the Cyclops crushed when he was talking at the start of that cut scene. I have no idea how he came by the key though, nor how Ardos father came by the key to the Labrynth. My take is that these "monsters" were entrusted with protecting the Pieces of Eden and were created by The Isu for that purpose. Its funny I ignored that quest for so long because I was like yeah right you are an idiot and was then very surprised how it turned out. 

Well done on the 100%, does it seem incredible given you were an AC novice when you started?  

Again well done I was feeling anxious that you'd bought the game on my recommendation.   

Stop recommending games Dazk, i swear your gonnae give yerself a heart problem hoping ppl then like them 😛😛😁 an gz marilynrobert 👍

Binding the shield to the mouse makes way more sense. Origins KB&M combat sabotaged me terribly, I am just not good at melee when I have to concentrate on multiple key functions. I think when doing combat in Origins it was something like:

Needing to use WASD to move
Holding SHIFT to keep your shield up
F to use overpower or something
And I can't fully remember but I think you had to use numbers to do stuff as well and all at the same time.

Was too hard for me, I managed to finish the game and get reasonable at it but only on easy!!!!!!

And yeah there was no removing another players shield it was all about the dance to get behind the enemy and those guys with the big shields, well lets just say I hated it.

In the book it takes 3 days to die after letting go of the staff and never touching it again. I guess they wanted it to be more dramatic ingame. And yeah, the staff can shapeshift.
