Wow that has really put me off playing the episode. I hope Ubisoft corrects this.
Seems kinda hard to fix it when they presumably wrote the remaining content for this episode around it.
I'll just skip it then and hope the Atlantis DLC doesn't reference it at all.
I'm not sure how to title it without spoiling the DLC, or should I just say fuck it to spoiling it?
Alexios/Kass would have had to have children at some point for the Animus to work, but it could have been at any point in their thousands of years of bisexual adventures, I guess.
How do they even handle the DLC story with Alexios?

Yeah not sure spoiling that element in the thread title was the best idea given everyone is trying to not spoil it as much as possible in here and the trophy itself is also hidden.
Since Origins the new Animus doesn't need the dna of descendants, you just need dna of that person (see Bayek/Aya's tomb and Kassandra/Alexios blood on the spear).
Romance dialogue and options are so terrible in this game that I never really felt like I was choosing a romantic interest for Alex/Kass, and much less define their sexuality as other than bisexual, and that Alex/Kass just wanted to have sex with anyone because that's what Greek people did according to some people.
For example, while playing with Kassandra, I was doing the side quest with the woman who claimed to be a descendant of Odysseus, and the flirting was mostly one sided with the romance options popping up in the worst time posible while Odessa was talking about the problems that she was facing with the leader of the región. And almost all the options felt like "wanna have sex?" worst of all, is that you had the payoff before giving her the details of your investigation in the leader house, like, you are facing this huge dilemma, but that shit doesn't matter, I want to fuck you, and she accepts!, then make up, and after that you actually tell her the news.
I wish that the romance options in this game were more like in the hostess minigame in Yakuza where you actually have to say the right thing at the right time, and the the other part actually gives you some feedback telling you that they want to start a relationship with you. Also, the romance in this games while improve if other characters started flirting with you, and that you have the option to reject them either because you are not into their gender, or other reason. But besides Alcibíades (who also only wanted sex) none other character truly feels like a romantic option to start a relationship.

So in that regard, I honestly don't mind the DLC news, since the main game already botched the romance aspects, so may as well give Alex/Kass a canon partner to have a child and move on
Oh right, no real excuse for this then.
Doesn't bother me personally because I took a "fuck everything that moves" stance in my playthrough but it's not at all hard to see how this would upset people.
After hearing about how Odyssey worked, I expected to go into the game trying to romance everyone regardless of gender (playing as Kassandra), but I think it's really telling how almost all the romance options I've encountered have been women. Seems like they built the game with a straight male player / character in mind.
I keep expecting Brasidas to become a romance option but it hasn't happened yet, granted I haven't finished the main story yet

Thank god for that
What on earth where you thinking with that title? Does are some huge spoilers that you just spoiled to me and many others
Haven't played either of these Legacy of the First Blade DLCs yet. Probably going to wait until all three are out.
Assuming the last one is roughly equivalent in length to the first two, how much additional content are we talking altogether? I'd like to know how much time to set aside to play this thing.

The first one took me 3 hours to complete, that's the story missions and killing everyone in the added cultist branch. If they're all around that length then I'd guess they would be 9 - 12 hours in total.
oh I certainly understand the complaints about it. But I consider it more as a plot point, and not the end of the fucking world that it's being proclaimed as.
So i just started playing a few days ago. Is there any way to get rid of this annoying popup for the DLC that just released? It comes up every time i go to the menu. I have the gold edition, already installed it, and i've cleared my notifications in the in-game DLC store.
How the hell do you start episode 2 of the DLC? I have the season pass, but don't see it anywhere.
Have you downloaded the new episode from the store? Otherwise it should be in the quest menu under add-ons where the first one was.
Nope, it all takes place in the Achaia region.
No it's dissapointing.I wish Mount Olympus was in the game and generally more of northern Greece and more islands lIke Rhodes
Boo!
I mean, sure, the world we have now is huge, but pretty much all of the bigger paid DLC for AC games had new areas.
Maybe that's why they're doing it in episodes so people won't notice as much.
Same here, I dont have the DLC and whenever I load the map it pops up. Fucking annoying as shit.
I just came here to complain about this. I see it every time I open the menu/map. Playing on PS4.
It went away after I saved and rebooted the game. This was already after clearing the notifications in the store and menu.
Happened to me, too. I just saved, quit out of the game and relaunched it. Was fine after that.
Technically yes but not really in practice. You're a mercenary that works for the highest bidder, so work for whoever you wish.
The conquest battles and the like are just a side activity that doesn't really impact the main story. The Peloponnesian War is ongoing during the course of the game, and control of most regions will flip between Athens and Sparta even without your interaction. The only areas that can't be changed are Attika (Athens) and Lakonia (Sparta) because the fortification bar will regenerate too quickly. They're basically the "home base" regions for each army.
You will get better gear on Hard, but I wouldn't change the difficulty until you've got your bearings. Some things are quite overwhelming on Normal to begin with, especially Mercenaries. Once you've got your head round the gear and buffs, then maybe change settings.
Man, what is up with patches taking 30 years to get through the "copying" phase of installation? It's only some games that do it, but it takes so long. I know the PS4 is actually doing a bunch of different things during that time, but patches used to install instantly after download, and it's not always like that anymore.
Does the story send you to Makedonia, Messenia, and Achaia? They're the last 3 areas of the map I haven't revealed or done any "?"s in and was wondering if I should take a break from where I am and go scout them out. I just started Chapter 8 and I'm currently in Athens
edit: nevermind I already finished everything.

Between the romance fiasco and the confirmation that they're making up the story as they go along I wanna say this is the day Ubisoft pissed fans the more since Desillets' exit.
Yep.
Got the platinum and clocked in a total of 100 hours and 49 minutes. Time to decompress and wait for RE2 and KH3.
If you are planning to play the DLCs then all of the missions take place in Makedonia and Achaia
Nah, throughout the main story you'll fight for both sides. As for conquest battles it's up to you if you want to make your own canon, but basically mercenaries just fight for the top bidder.
I played most of the game on hard, as I specced hunter, which is quite OP. It seems to me like enemies don't get much more health or armor, but they do quite a bit more damage, so it all depends on how good you are at dodging. You can change the difficulty whenever you want so just try and see what works.
