Text Based Let's Play of AC: Oddessey

Is this the one where you have to investigate paintings on the wall? That confused the hell out of me as there was no prompt to talk to the art store owner I believe and that was the last clue you need to investigate if I am remembering correctly.

Some of the funniest moments in the game were to do with Alkibiades quests and then the subsequent interlude and comments afterwards.   

It took me a long time to find the three drawings at all, because one was inside a building. And when I went to the cave there was no naughty political artist to do anything with so...shrug

I was talking about finding the assassins. Turns out I was too close to the map to see a label hehe

>_<

My boat is not good enough for the Parts Blockade. Very annoyed about this, I've been ignoring naval battles as much as possible

I found Elpenor's brother. He was very sad about his brother's death.

I laughed.

kass told him it was her that killed him. He got very angry.

Quest Failed.

I got very angry. Not a good idea.

Elpenor's brother one shot to the head. Their entire family line likely ended.



Increased bounty worth it.

Weird.... It was a DIFFERENT politician. O.o

Have you read tips on upgrading the ship? If not Hull and Ram first then fire damage, if you get it to epic that should be good enough for most of the game

And she says go to some island for real papa.

And I find an alien tomb

And I'm guessing in advance that there is alien artificial insemination....

Let's find out

I only die in the lava once

I look at the floating triangle with expectation.

And then they show me an old man with a trident and give a lame cliche "I am your father"

And a cliche, "you should be dead."

And then they dump Alantis and the Search for the Great Macguffin on me without answering Anything.

And then the game cuts to the stupid present part of the game.

And then I turn off the game because it's 3am.

And I consider never turning it back on.

Edit add: so you know how I said that "this Stargate storyline is ruining my Xena"?

Like it's that all over again except worse.

Nothing in me cares about locking up Atlantis. We don't need a save the world storyline. I like the Cultist storyline with redeeming my bro and helping the Spartans swing the war for a couple of years until it inevitably goes to war again.

I would like a game with more of that. And zero of the Future. And locking up Atlantis with the Collection of Macguffin peices can go fuck itself with a spear. I'll help with a Sparta Kick.

Hey phoray I didn't even get to this till like 100hrs in. There is unfortunately as a first timer an element of story that connects all of this stuff that you wont get.  Going to  the spoilers page would help with this but obviously includes spoilers. My joy was in exploring the areas, building up resources and levelling up before getting so far in the story. I hope I don't offend its late at night and I am tired.

The Storyline Themes I find important and meaningful are exploring the questions; "What can you forgive, what is family". As well as teh revenge plotline that isn't entirely selfish- these Cultists are awful people, killing them is cleaning up evil, and it brings us closer to getting to our brother and maybe getting him off the Kool Aid. So the inevitable or failed Reunion is important to me.

But then Papa A+B=C tells Kass she wasn't bred for a reunion. She was bred to be a tool in preventing an Apocalypse. An errand boy/girl for finding materials he could have just as well found himself over the years instead of breeding people to do it for him.

Everything you thought was important in your life before your adventure began and everything that's happened in your adventure so far is irrelevant. It's all distractions from your real purpose, your only reason for being.

The player/Kass/Alex gets two chances to say this is all bull shit, and then the writers decided that was enough free agency before forcing your character to meekly accept her/his new world definition and meaning for life. "Okay, I'll go get the things now."

1. Seems like it's pretty hard to get to Atlantis already. It's been locked up pretty good for over 100 years, apparently. What's the rush as of "impregnating another man's woman twice" years ago?
2. How did he find Myrinne to ask her to do this if he's been locked up in almost-atlantis for 100 years?
3. He's effing old looking, did he actually bang Myrinne? Pregnancy isn't a sure thing from the first time, were they in a relationship for a while and the babies came later?
4. Xenia claimed she was super best friends with Myrinne, so knew the tragedy living inside her heart about her kids. And still delayed the reunion out of greed, this character is such an infuriating caricature it irritates me immensely
5. Did Nicolaus know about the Apocalypse so that's why he let himself be cucked? But if he understood what the children were meant for, WHY would he throw both kids over a cliff? He either knew about it and signed up for the Cuck or he Didn't and this makes NO SENSE unless we're to assume he just trusted his own wife SO implicitly he was just like, "it's okay you sneak off every 8 years and get preggers" ? I'm sure it's "for good reasons" I don't need to understand?
6. Myrinne is strong enough to be a pirate but weak enough to let kids be thrown over a cliff?
7. The Oracle spoke so swiftly of killing babies Myrinnedn't have time to explain the childrens' importance to the Spartan kings to maybe reconsider?
8. Myrinne felt no urge to tell Bio Dad their two chances for the apocalypse-avoiding had been thrown over a cliff. No urge to maybe sign up for baby #3 to again try to prevent said apocalypse
9. Bio Dad knew all along that Kass was alive because the bird-not-bird. Felt no urge to contact Myrinne to let her know her kid was alive. 
10. related, Bio Dad even implies that maybe this was a good thing because "adversity makes you stronger" bull shit. I mean, fucking decide what kind of world this is. Intentional Science Logic decisions with prepared for outcomes (and all this magic is really just alien DNA/tech) or "everything is fate." Because I thought this was the former, with confused humanity putting on a layer of the latter

The AI of the NPCs is not that great. At the same time, they are moderately better than the AI's of other games I've played. I just think that if I kite 20 people outside of a Fort, then run back into the Fort, and they SAW me run back into the Fort, they should not immediately ?? wonder where I'm at. They should be more stubborn than that.
