So there is this "300" movie thing going on...
At first I think the battle mechanics are pretty bad but then it gives me more actions to do... but we all know how this story ends soooo

and then chicks and the internet....? o-o yes, there is the time back and forthing thing. still find it weird they're doing in what appears to be a garage. Then it asks me Difficulty Level...and since I played TW3 on nightmare (or it's equiv), I think I'll go with Hard. And Exploration Mode, why not. Picked Kassandra. Victoria says "we're counting" on Layla. Who's we? and it begins.

Rule of thumb: be kind to kids.
Nah, kid. Get your money off those two bodies over there.... oh wait, they're alive?
ooo a choice! Kill or not kill... eh. Not kill. I'll let Alexios be the blood thirsty one.
"Press X to climb".... but what am I climbing? *throws Kass at multiple surfaces clicking X* Ah, success. Time to get dressed aaand... all you got is a belt and a shoulder pad? how BROKE ARE YOU KASS
Like, think about this. My Dalish elf and my commoner dwarf had more stuff

Neat. Grabbing wood for arrows reminds me of HZD. And I'm just exploring like ya do. Checking out this Bandit Boat Crash and find a man who doesn't like my snooping. We battle it out, and the Killing Blow Cinematic is pretty nifty. I don't get to take any of the sweet clothes he's wearing. but I CAN pick his body up and throw it in the surf like I'm some sort of mafia hit man.

So much for not being blood thirsty and sparing people- they try to ambush me on the road Talking to Marcos, I hear that Kass has a history of accidentally killing people to collect debt. Ooof, Kass. If a whole Horse is the Interest on the money he owes you... This does not equate with the hovel you live in or the rags on your back. o-o Whew~ "Tell me where they went!" she demands, with a voice that brooks no funny business.

broke some of Duris' pots and he gives the money he owes up quick. Don't get the money system yet, so I suppose I'll sit on it a bit longer. Kephalos' Spear eh? never misses it's target? sounds like a spear I should have Do I have to give it to the priestess?... I guess I have to, feeding hungry families and all that.

Phoray the LP reporter is here! Welcome! * use the eagle often to scout out for hidden stuff and enemies * don't bother with Layla and her group, they're just annoyances, interrupting flow of game Other than that, enjoy, explore and get your ass handed to you on your first foray in ancient Greece.

I don't know why we like Marcos.... I guess adopting us as a straggling child is good enough reason.
oh no... baby Alexios dies? this is a Bethany/Carver thing?
But now I get my bow fixed. ---
oh neat! the fact that I already had the necklace this random quest couple wanted was registered!
-- oh shit, I randomly hit the couple with a spear--they didn't die. whew. --
Is there like, a Wolven Armor Set Equiv in this game, I already want to dress my Kass pretier than this hodge podge.

I find it a bit weird that Marcos' own wife doesn't seem to know Kass. When he's implied to have sort of pseudo raised Kass o_O

*goes to a question mark* Abandoned house it says.... how does Kass know this? *steals everything* still no idea how she knows this place is abandoned :/

Nope.
And then that stupid level 5 Merc wandered into the fight with the priest and his men. Luckily, FALL DAMAGE is a thing for the bad guys TOO. how fair.

Sp I got the Cyclops' eye without being seen. Returned it to MArcos. Now I'm going back to just kill them all anyway because there is loot there. This makes sense.

So, Elpenor says, "Will you do the job?" I think about it, and decide that actually being paid to be an assasin of big movers and shakers isn't her style and tell him she's not an assassin. SILLY ME. That's not an option, that was just the illusion of choice.

I like the diving. The boating is a bit worse than TW3. The horse is easier but I won't say it's better.
I hope the story picks up o.o
Don't approve of the implication that Pheobe will replace Kass

Crap. Kass got thrown over by her own father. @_@ sad face
But the fact he showed grief means a lot. I can respect him. I hope the game doesn't make me kill him.

Dis gonna b gud 😁
Some quick tips - fall damage will not kill you, no matter the height. After level 20 you won't even take fall damage. Jump away!
If you catch fire (happens more often than you think) hold the Dodge button to do a roll and extinguish it. Same method for when a kitty cat jumps on your back.
Killing (unless it's bandits) and stealing in front of witnesses builds up a bounty (even if you kill the witnesses right after). Bounties fade over time unless they are story related.
While riding the horse offroad - spam the gathering button to pick any resource node in range.
Check the message boards in towns often. Pick all non-timed quests from the message boards. You don't even need to read them since you will finish them anyway by playing the game naturally.
Don't try to do all timed (hourglass) quests. They refresh every time you finish them and are endless. You can ignore them and sometimes you can accidentally finish them anyway without accepting the quest at all.
Sell/dismantle any regular or blue gear. Purple gear is the best, but you still can sell/dismantle purple pieces you don't need.
Don't upgrade your gear until level 50 or 70 except maybe the weapons (gold ones are usually best) and only every 5+ levels. You will be getting more than enough new stuff to replace the old. Don't worry about looks since the transmog system allows you to change the look of any gear piece with any other piece you ever collected (even if you sold/dismantled it).

Kass acts like she can literally look through the eyes of the bird o_O And I haven't seen Layla since that first forced scene. I honestly have no idea how to see her again even if I did want to follow that storyline.
