Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

It looks like I was a bad girl last night. I had 3 mercenaries after me at the same time. Who would have thought that killing a bunch of poor people who stole food was a bad thing, certainly not me.

Ended up killing like 6 mercenaries, killed one guy that put the bounty on me so that got rid of one, and the last one just disappeared over time. Since I'm killing all the low level mercenaries, the new ones that appears are a bit higher level than me now.

Also managed to get in bed with a girl, sadly I wasn't rewarded with a sex scene like in the Bioware game, you just go in the house, and come out. So much work for so little payoff.

Almost completed the 2nd region. The region/zones are smaller than Origins, but there's far more of them. There's also much less POI to visit, and since the regions are smaller it "feels" less like a chores as there's a lot less running around to get to all of them.

This region I had to meet with someone, but can't before I helped "secure" the region. This kinda feels like Origins, I hope it's not going to be the pattern for the entire game.

Second Wind, the heal ability in the Warrior is a must have, it's simply overpowered. Also got the Spartan Kick from the Warrior tree, it's pretty good as it break shield defense, and can outright kill anything if you kick them off a high enough ledge.

So right now my 4 abilities, is poison weapon, assassin teleport thing, spartan kick and the heal. Definitely keeping the last 3, poison seems a bit underwhelming, so probably going to replace that I hope. I picked up 1 range ability too, so room for 3 more there.

There are tons of bouties on the bulletin board, most of which are daily with some weeklies, that feels a little like the Destiny 2 bounties.

After about 9-10 hours now, I feel more confident in saying that if you didn't like Origins, you won't like this...it's basically Origins improved in many little ways, but still very much the same thing.

Are the bounties online? That PvP mechanic would have been fantastic. If not, what a wasted opportunity.

GameFly shipped mine today. Hope to have it Saturday.

Bounties are just daily/weekly quest with very little story behind them. Mostly just kill 10 of those, clear 10 bandit camps, etc. Not multiplayer, single player only. They're optional really. No PvP involved thank god.

I meant the comparison to Destiny 2 in the sense that they are similar, kill 30 fallen, do 2 public events. You end up completing most of them just by doing other stuff.

So far, I've been doing everything I come across. I doubt I'll do that at 40th hour.
