Okay, I'm in episode 7 and
I just entered Nexos' port. How far into the game am I? Honestly, despite being a bit lengthy, the game is very, very good overall. Makes me wonder if the Ubisoft hate is a meme. If their other games are on this level, I might have to check them out too. Kassandra is also one of the better video game characters I've seen in a while.
I'll definitely finish the story, probably not the plat trophy though. The game is just too big.
about to meet my mother it seems like.

I'd estimate that you're about 2/3 through the family story. You then have two other major branches of the story to complete as well: the cultists and the artifacts. If you're on PC, there's a percent completion estimate in Uplay.
I might be remembering wrong but I think at that point you haven't even started the third main storyline (but you're close to it) and that one is also pretty long and DEFINITELY worth pursuing. But yeah 2/3 might still be accurate all things considered, hard to say
Yeah, sorry, I reconsidered after remembering how long the part after Naxos is.
Anyone else got a bug where the texture for the golden button on the mercenary breatplate doesn't load properly? Looks fine on the black, dark red and black/red variations but on the white/blue and bright red/blue variations the button is just a golden blurry circle. Xbox One version btw.
EDIT: Nevermind, seemed to fix it with a second reinstall. Still seem to be loading that specific texture on those 2 pieces a little slower than it should but before it wasn't loading in at all. Weird.

Same experience over here! FPS drops in city environments are much less heavy, but lots of floating objects and also sometimes some weird character movement.
In return pop-in is worse than before, the LOD is shortened quite aggressively (playing maxed out on PC).
I really like the historical details, especially their integration into the side quests. For example, on an island, we have the city of Gortyne and a quest asks to kill a herald from the city of Phaistos. We can see the destroyed city a little further away. In reality, that's exactly what happened. Gortyne destroyed Phaistos. Well, I would have liked something more sustained but it's already a good reference.
Like Corinth, we spend a lot of time with the hetaïres and the prostitution aspect of the city was well known at the time.

yeah i'm level 34 and i've mostly been critical path-ing. i think i'm at 40 hrs :P
how much longer do i have if i just met up with braisadas for the second time?
I think I was at about 80-90 hours when I finished all the major content from the base game. Now with all the currently-released DLC stuff finished, I'm close to 140.
Can someone clarify this for me:
I've just got an engraving to do 40% extra damage when I'm above an enemy with my bow, but is that 40% of the DPS of the bow or is that 40% of my hunter damage? Is it even worth using that engraving compared to an overall boost to damage with a different engraving?
Is it better to use the headshot damage engraving since I really only go for headshots with the bow, or is it better to stack the hunter damage instead?

yeah i watched some youtube videos to see how far people are in the game doing the same mission they were all level 11 and 12 and i'm here close to hitting 19 , another annoying thing about the game is the lack of good weapons i only have 2 good weapons and i cant upgrade them everytime i hit a new level the mercenaries all give armor or shit swords now i'm stuck with a level 14 spear lol.
Where can I find more hints to reveal where the last order guy is? He's supposed to be around the shipwreck cove area, but the DLC story never got me to reveal his location.
Drops are tied to the levels of enemies, so if you're level 19 killing mostly stuff far below your level, you're not gonna be getting many upgrades.
yeah i do releaise that its just through out my time (level 22 now) i got like 4 good weapons , and none of them are what i want to build around which is heavy warrior build.
The damage multipliers in this game are incredibly opaque and there's no kind of damage log to track what the optimal engravings are. I guess combat is easy enough that min maxing isn't really a thing.

Don't be afraid to buy a weapon from the blacksmith. I'm level 34 currently, and there has definitely been times when RNG was giving me weapons i didn't care for. Rather than use a heavy blunt for instance, i would just hit up the blacksmith when my weapons would fall too far behind. Since i prefer daggers and spears, my load has been a mix of drops and purchases.
Finished the odyssey quest line. level 43 but I need to grind to 46 just to get my final artifact. What the
Also fuck this poison boar

How tough that boar is will really depend on your build. Hunter is probably the most consistent to kill it easily. I literally 4-shot it with an Assassin high crit build (~36% crit chance, about +300% crit damage at the time):

Sometime in March, along with the Assassin's Creed III remaster.
Man these late game boss fights take a long ass time. Usually I wouldn't have the patience but I'm so close to finishing the game.
I hate how everything keeps readjusting near the end so that the enemies are always a few levels ahead of you. Luckily some of these fights are on a cliff. Knocking a guy off with one of your abilities is like a cheat code lol. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I think my level 47 character took like over 20 minutes to beat

I don't recall any of my fights taking that long on any level. Are you sure you're not undergeared?
This game is so good. Over 100 hours in and it keeps getting better and better.
Loving the mythical beast fights.
Definitely going for all expansions with Odyssey like i did with Origins.
Ubi really has knocked it out of the park with this new direction for AC.

I personally feel Origins was better. Odyssey is very fun but is way more mindless, and it shows they got comfortable with their "mission templates" and didn't try to innovate once.
Origins had few, but present linear setpieces like the hallucinations or the siege of Alexandria. Meanwhile Odyssey is 100% composed of the 4 mission templates they got (Raid a base, retrieve a thing, erradicate a zone, naval combat).
Also the graphics are not as good. Models are better but the lighting (specially material lighting) is a generation behind. And of course the world is way blander, while colorful, it doesn't have a single location besides the (non utilized!) Acropolis that is memorable. Maybe Sparta which looks very good, but again, it's very empty.
Odyssey is a very good game and one of the best WRPGs of recent times (the only one besides the Witcher with AAA production values) and people should play it for sure, but man, Ubisoft should have taken a better look at Origins. It's got lots to learn from it.
Possibly. I was using legendary gear I got from beating the odyssey mainline quest around level 44. I generally don't upgrade much and just use what I get as loot. Weapons were around 47. Maybe I was doing it wrong. My attacks were doing around 5-10k. It just took a long time.
Do you know exactly when the third part of the first DLC is scheduled? (before "Fate of Atlantis")
Finished my first Odyssey
I think that the ending that I got was incredible stupid yet heartwarming

As Kassandra, I spared the life of both Alexios and Nikolaos, so after arriving to my home in Sparta, I ended up having a family dinner with my brother who has serious mental health issues who murdered thousands of innocents, my step father who threw said brother and I from a cliff, his new stepson that replaced me which also kinda hates me, and my mother who lost his 2 children for 30 years at the hand of his husband. And all of them were happy dining together, even Alexios and Estentor started wrestling like little brothers always do
It's safe to buy; you have to actively seek out the DLC sidemissions so you can do them at any time of your choosing and, if I remember correctly, they won't show up on the map until you reach a certain level (usually around the time you wrap up 1 or 2 of the main storylines.)
Agree with you there. Origins is the better game, more polished. For example the combat albeit more deep in Odyssey due ablities, it feels much more polished in Origins. Every location feels unique, tombs are incredible, it's basically the closest thing to a timemachine. Origins looks a bit better too.
Origins is a 9.5/10
Odyssey a 9.2/10
Having gone to Origins from Odyssey, character models don't look that good comparatively. There are a few people that look as if they're sculpted from plasticene. The DLC areas look a bit better though.
It's a bit of a mixed bag. I haven't gone far into the big story DLC (Legacy of the First Blade) because I was spoiled on a plot twist that didn't sit right with me (and many other fans.) I did enjoy the free sidemissions a lot and my kids loved the Discovery Tour in Origins.... but all of that is free. I've played around with the customisation options a lot but I can't tell which of those I earned in-game and which are bonus content.
Really looking forward to AC3 remastered and curious about the Fate of Atlantis DLC, so maybe I'll get my money's worth out of the pass eventually.
But, honestly, the biggest driver behind getting the pass is that I really, really enjoy this game and wanted to support and encourage Ubisoft to keep going in this direction.
The scale of this game is honestly mind-boggling. I unlocked the
quest after more than 45h and there's still so much more to do. Focussing on the good content of the game (ignoring question marks and generic quests) is definitely the way to play.
Atlantis
They really need to patch the game so your horse isn't so damn slow in cities. I hate this shit. Adds nothing to the game.
I suppose it's to avoid to have too many collisions with NPC, but at least they should reduce the size of the area around the city where you are slowed down.
I'm going to take an uneducated guess it's due to technical reasons: game couldn't load new assets fast enough when galloping through city.
could be this and what Kuldar posted together, but can't help but feel you run faster in cities than you ride. Could be perspective and animation fooling the eyes though.
