Okay thanks I hit the Help button down there and it explains it there in detail. I'll edit my post and hope I get it right :D
You filthy dirty mucky bugger you are :D I am toying with the idea but not pulled the trigger yet. I like being dirty though so probably!
I just don't want this to end, and the proposition of having Upper Egypt too is too good for me to pass.
I'm so sorry.
i make a mistake by taking all Quests <!> without finish them , i thought i will assemble them in the list first than i will finish them , the Investigation Quests can't be track if you go far away or do something else ... but this morning i turn on my ps4 and was updating the game and quest track work on Investigation Quests except for tow side Quest His Secret Service and Shadows of Apollo
so ... if you read this don't make my mistake and if anyone had any thoughts in this pleas help .
never-mind guys i found YouTube videos for those tow quest at the first i did the same things at the videos but i didn't found the prisoners because " i thought i will assemble them in the list first than i will finish them " so i give up ... then i found the prisoners by accident standing bit far from their location.
I forgive you. Main reason I am not buying the Season Pass just yet is it's almost exactly the same price I paid for the actual main game. On Uplay with a 20% discount thingy they do it was 36 quid I think. The season pass is 35........I am just not sure enough to spend almost the same again for 2 DLC's coming next year. I can wait and see how they turn out first.
True dat, there is no need to rush it.
I'm just a man of faith.
So agree. Like W3, by the time I have cleared an area, I am so over leveled. Bumped up to hard just to progress. At least the camel kid loot scales. I keep upgrading my poison legendary sickle sword.
Regarding overlevelling, TW3 had the right idea with giving very little EXP for fights and side quests. I feel the best way to go about is is to just give exp for main quest. This ensures people that just want to stick to the main quest don't not feel like they need to grind to catch up to next main quest level, and people that love doing everything don't over level for the main quest. The side quests and other activities should just reward players in other ways like some crafting resources, money, equipment, etc, but no exp.
I am also enjoying the game a lot. Finally feels like a true sequel to Assassins Creed since the... first one? Thank god the combat FINALLY changed. It´s janky sometimes but still miles better than before.
thats a really fun quest.
Also, nomad kid finally gave me something decent , the scarab outfit.
feels unearned tbh lol.
Bayek says this at every tomb I've been to. Like clockwork lol.
Game is awesome, love exploring the tombs and finding all the loot.

Is there any benefit to Cursed weapons at all? I know it reduces your health, I'm wondering if there is some hidden benefit or if it's just strictly a negative trait?
Yeah, there's no i-frames so you really have to get away from the enemy's attack to avoid it. It's not clunky at all, it's just different.
Damage output is way higher than normal legendary weapons. It's like a glass cannon.
Got the platinum trophy today, I wish the game has proper post-game content, there is nothing to do anymore. They way loot works in this game doesn't encourage you to grind either or even save money to buy store weapons.
In any case, awesome game, tie or a little better than Black Flag, so top 5 of the franchise for me. Modern day and the first civilization drivel probably the worst thing about the game, I really thought they were going to fix this and make it more appealing but I guess not.

oh i thought you meant the quest about that town thats being dug out from the sand, has you examine a bunch of houses for ancient text.
their damage is way higher than their quality number implies.
at lv20(with a lv20 cursed sword), i used an overpower skill on a lv18 grunt on hard and it did 7000 damage.
regular attacks were almost one shotting the mob.
the only problem is theyre way too risky on hard when youre fighting mobs with a bigger enemy who can atleast sneak in a hit or two regardless of your skill. youre dead right away.
starting tuesday were getting superboss fights for the anubis gear.
after that theyre adding a survival mode or horde mode to the arena. then the tour mode after that.
which is followed by the two expansions that add new gear, regions, story , enemies , abilties but offcourse theyre paid
Holy shit. How many hours did that take? The sheer amount of locations and forts...
After 4 hours finally left Siwa, my impressions so far.
Positive
- this game is incredibly huge, maybe biggest map ever?
- looks absolutely amazing, draw distance is insane and setting is perfect
- Bayek is likable, nice story setup
- cutscenes are good
- loot
- wildlife
- you can climb everywhere
Negative:
- combat is a little bit janky, lock on system is biggest part of the problem. Button layout is a pain for me, both standard and alternative. Will stick with standard.
- i'm not sure i like the running animation, it looks like he is sprinting at full throttle the whole time and just about to assault whoever is in his way. It's not that urgent Bayek, take your time. Crouch movement looks great by the way.
Overall i like it very much, but it's no contest to The Witcher 3.

is there a way to get helix points without buying them? I have the 200 starter points. I want to get to 500 to buy a legendary mount for that achievement,
Or alternatively, is there an easy way to get any legendary mount? I know you get the pharaoh 's horse if you win all the chariot races. Is that the best way? Is that fairly easy?

Should i wait for someone to give me side quests before clearing out the bases? Or i can do it , without triggering quests?
Also as good asAlexandria is, the moment i get out of the city I am just having way more fun , hunting animals. bandits and just traversing the wilderness and just enjoying the atmosphere.

This is an amazing world Ubisoft was able to create. The expansive map combined with a tremendous amount of detail and good materials work, make the game look astonishing on the Pro.
I am playing this game now for 5 hours. I have playing a lot of those Ubisoft open-world games and this is the first time I actually enjoy the world. In other Ubisoft games, I was most of the times driven by the story, but not the open-world. The world looks beautiful and is so much fun to explore, because it feels alive with all those details. The story so far has been pretty lame, but let's see what comes next. But I have to say it is pretty obvious that they borrowed a lot from Horizon and the Witcher 3.
Had my first phalanx fight and got owned . Going to be avoiding these guys for along time for now , my awesome weapon does 3 damage lol
My advice for the combat is, much like Witcher 3, is avoid the lock on unless it's 1v1.
If you hold L1 (which you should always be doing in combat unless you want to run away) the camera locks behind Bayek, letting you position him with more control than the lock on.
There's also a slight soft lock, so as long as you're roughly facing the enemy, you'll hit them.
I'm about halfway through on hard difficulty and I never use the lock on, even when I am 1v1. I kinda think it was a mistake to include it because it's not necessary and I imagine a big source of frustration.
No point in holding L1. Just clicking it once locks the camera behind Bayek.
Good points overall.
The lock-on is something you should entirely ignore imo.
I am level 19 and only now i met Cleopatra, lol. Also maybe its just one off but some side quests are starting to get more involved with multiple stages and i like that a lot. Shame about the outfits , so far i only like Egyptian Hedj, everything else looks a bit too heavy and too hot . And the colors are just bleh.
Well, I ran out of content after around 70 hours. A shame how I still couldn't get every talent, I'm still around 10 lvls away from that. I liked the Hard difficulty for 99% of the time, except for some of the harder optional bosses. Easily my favourite AC game.
Which regions have side-mission tables? I've just come across the one in Sapi-res Nome and realised it's the first one I've seen since Siwa despite having also worked my way through Iment Nome, Lake Mareotis, Alexandria, Kanopos Nome, and Sap-meh Nome.
Posted my impressions before and they were quite negative, but I'm coming around to the game. Having a lot of fun with the overall world, and love exploring. Doesn't bother me so far that I need to do sidequests in between main missions, particularly because there are so many of them, and you can do all sorts of other activities too. I really like avenging random people online, I think it's a neat feature that adds a fair amount of replayability to the game.
The visuals still bug me a bit. Even on the PS4 PRO and ONE X, there's quite a bit of aliasing. Not sure why they couldn't afford a good AA solution. I'd sacrifice framerate for it, if needs be.

Wait really ? For my eyes this game has one of the best implementations of AA, i barely see any jaggies. Playing on PRO on a 24 inch monitor, the image is very clean.
I guess you're playing on a 4K tv? Because at 1080p with a Pro it's bullshot quality at all times.
Good points. I really like Witcher 3 combat and as you pointed out there is no need to lock on in W3.
Played a session Origins and i must say this game is really amazing. Got the hang out of combat and i will try your advices for good. One thing i don't really understand, why does Bayek not assassinate instantly when i approach them silently from behind. He stuns them, but they are still alive... is there a skill to unlock or maybe a button i missed?
But yeah, game is along with Prey biggest surprise for me this year. Good stuff.
I was done with the game on Friday. Every single main quest, side quest and question mark done. Took me about 45 hours.
That's just what he does in the early game. I'll be doing traditional assassining soon enough!
Agreed on this being a huge surprise. I'm a somewhat-fan if the series, but I hadn't been following this one at all. Went from clueless about it to one of my GOTYs. If Nintendo weren't a factor, it would be my GOTY quite comfortably.
Check your TV sharpness. The game has zero, and I mean zero aliasing on my set. It's bullshot quality.
I might platinum this one, since there aren't any obnoxious full sync objectives.
Also I just tamed a lion and it is the coolest.
