The wacky alien stuff is more effective if the historical stuff is more accurate, contrast between the real and unreal etc.

Wouldn't Bayek be related to most people in the series though, considering the time gap? Since he's an Assassin/the first Assassin (so will hang around other people related to future Assassins) and probably travels a lot (meaning his descendants likely weren't living in enclaves) then wouldn't he be related to basically every other character in the series?

Lord Cyrahzax posted:Is there any trick to the chariot races? I'm not doing very well I did all the races and as far as I can tell the ultimate strategy is to get into first position and just hold it. Save like half your boost for when a dude is encroaching on you. Its really hard to regain your lead once you've lost it, staying in front is more manageable. The first race in a tournament you start in first position, the second you can probably manoeuvre into first by the first or second turn if you don't get tangled into the other carts. If you can win two races out of three that's almost always good enough, the other races don't seem to be consistent in their skill. I've won two races and then not placed and still won tournaments.

When you are swimming, dudes in little boats will beeline towards you to rescue you and gameplay wise so you can get back to land faster. Except sometimes they get really aggressive about trying to rescue you and ram the hell out of you while you are trying to find treasures.

I really like how Bayek is just a big friendly murder man. He's on a mission of revenge or whatever but if some kids want to play then he's down for that straight up.

This game is too drat hard and I can't get past the first area. The enemies won't listen to my reasoned discourse on why their ideology is flawed and just stab me to death. I have a lot of weapons at my disposal, but killing the Ptolemaic soldiers would make me as bad as them. Does anyone have links to a walkthrough that would allow me to keep the moral high ground?

They better release some new DLC because the level cap is going to be 55 and it needs to be a multiple of 10, thats the rule.

The kid who wanted Bayek to jump off lots of buildings in Cyrene shows up in the new DLC as a teenager/grownup, I don't know if he's going to be part of a sidequest but I just randomly found him and had a little chat.

Alexios got a slave pregnant. At the birth, his father suggested that the child be killed. Alexios replied: "First murder your own children and then tell me to kill mine."

When Alexios was told by someone, "Your beard is now coming in," he went to the rear-entrance and waited for it. Cassandra asked what he was doing. Once she heard the whole story, she said: "I'm not surprised that people say we lack common sense. How do you know that it's not coming in by the other gate?"

Alexios stood in the marketplace and announced: "I'm putting my wife up for sale, tax-free!" When people asked him why, he said: "So the authorities will impound her."

Lunethex posted:I'm appreciating that we're treating Alexios like a goofball and you're this close to tainting my perceptions of him before the game even launches. Alexios checked in on the parents of a dead friend. The father was wailing: "O son, you have left me a cripple!" The mother was crying: "O son, you have taken the light from my eyes!" Later, Alexios suggested to his friends: "If he were guilty of all that, he should have been cremated while still alive."

I really love that in the last-ish area of the game when you think everything is going to be all endgame seriousness there's a quest where a kid is like "wow you are so good at jumping off buildings, but can you jump off... THIS ONE?!?" and you just go around town with a group of kids following you hooting and hollering as you jump off every building they can think of.

In the modern day they said they couldn't get enough data from the old as heck DNA sample so they are filling in the gaps by getting the Animus to scan in a book that was written at the time by Herodotus and simulate what was written. So if you get mad that crazy not real stuff happens (you shouldn't) then you can just say its embellishment in the text or inaccurate simulation by the Animus.

I really wish with all the underwater exploration I could go first person so I don't have to see that gross low resolution underwear texture all the time. Or just get some pants from a Scythian or Persian and get laughed at by Greek society.

ymgve posted:I just arrived at Mykonos and feel like I missed some side quest plot. I traveled there for an escort quest, but it acts like I got a distress message and went through a storm and some poo poo? When you get back on your boat after Athens Barnabas says that you got a letter asking for help. Its just voice, no cutscene so you might have missed it if you were doing other things at the time.

2 cool things for today: I found a legendary spear that gives me double damage in exchange for being stuck at 25% max health. It's really good for stealthing it up, you can take out most people in one hit now. You can switch it out and use the health regen skill if you get spotted. I collected my first legendary armor set today. I'd gotten the first couple of pieces at level 18 so there were at that level and got the last piece at around level 31-32. All the pieces upgraded themselves to level 30 for me.

I've been disappointed a couple of times in quests where I tried to be clever and knock out an NPC that I don't want to kill but the quest won't continue until I finish them off. For people who are worried about XP rates, I'm massively over the original recommended level (it scales up to you) for where I am in the main quest and I haven't been consciously grinding. Just finishing regions that the main quest has sent me to and doing those message board quests like kill X Spartans incidentally.

Its good that they minimise the modern day stuff because its bad but its also bad because they minimise it. Nothing interesting can ever happen in the modern day because that plotline has to continue every 1-2 years until we are all dead. The history stories can do whatever they want because they are just in that one game.

I remember playing Origins and thinking "wait, what happened to the main antagonist evil AI that was taking over the world in the last few games?" So I looked it up and they just killed it off in some comic book.

Fate of Atlantis is really cool visually but I've got no idea what the gently caress is going on with the story and there's an extremely lovely cliffhanger at the end.
