Man I have no idea what skills or build to go with. I mean I want to assassinate as many targets as possible but also don't want to be weak in hand to hand combat.
Do I wear all gear with + 6% assassin stats or do I wear half of my gear with assassin stats and the other half with warrior stats. So confused.

I just get LOADS of loot no matter what I do. Doesn't matter if I'm exploring, doing sidequests, or just killing random mercs. I get plenty of loot and it adds up. I don't dismantle anything, just sell it all
I leveled from 24 to 27 in about an hour doing side quests, that seems a little fast but im not complaining. Still need to actually continue with the story…
Just so many side quests and people to kill. Also Rush Assassin skill is so good.

The fact that there is no shield in this game is basically a crime really...
The ultimate depiction of a Spartan is a warrior with a shield and spear.
The mechanic was already there in Origins. I dont get why they removed it. The reason feels completely stupid.

Because people were cheesing it
The devs addressed this in an interview somewhere, said it wasn't good design or something
Did they elaborate why it wasnt good design? Because even if they used the exact same mechanic in Origins without any improvements at all, in its most basic state, it would be a + for the game. I am greek and watching Alexios fight without a shield feels awkward as fuck. I catch myself being jealous of the look of the random Spartan soldiers in the game... with their epic shields and spears... what the hell man... if one Assassins game really needed a shield, its this one....
I'm still stuck in Phokis... I need to get outta here and explore. Almost done clearing it out, but looking at the other islands... my goodness, lads.
I didn't play Origins. Would it be difficult to play it after Odyssey? Not now, but in a few months for instance. I imagine Odyssey must have many QOL improvements over Origins.
This is what I plan on doing around January 2019. Hopefully the super duper ultimate edition goes on sale for like $20 this holiday season on PC.
Alexios is poor to me cos the voice actor seems like he was told to put on some butch / hard guy type voice and it just comes accross sooooo bad
It especially stood out during the scene where your about to go to
like i was genuinely like wtf why does he sound like this its so forced compared to kass

forge for first time
Game is generous with skill points, from early on you can pick talents from both Warrior and Assassin tree without any issue and be very effective as both.
When it comes to gear it doesn't matter that much what percents you pick or prioritize. If you do hybrid Warrior - Assassin then just equip gear when stat upgrade feels meaningful to you. E.g. is gaining +50 Warrior Power worth of losing -500 Assassin Power and so on. I had chest armor 5 levels below my current level because all drops to slot weren't worth of stat trade, still got by just fine.
I play on Hard.
Just reached Athens and I'm doing sidequests for Kleon.
Damn, his sidequests take a lot of timebut at least they give you good rewards.
Btw Kleon was the "Trump"of that age.Populist af.
Also I know a lot of people will side with Sparta in this game for many reasons,
but please don't support these militaristic, vulgar brutes, they are not worth it.
There is only one option and that is Athens.

The exploration mode and the player being like a superhero is a refreshing touch that has me super engaged with the game despite playing a good 60 hours or so of origins.
Btw, don't sleep on those Kleon sidequests for too long. That's one of the side quests that's missable if you advance too far into the story.
As a huge Origins fan i have to tell you, this is on a whole other level.
Nah bro, Sparta is where it is at! Especially if you are playing Kass considering how they allowed women to own land and allowed a decent education. Of course both sides didn't allow them much freedom in the political stage...
I assume you mean "proper" sidequests (the ! ones) not the timed quests or whatever?
Kleon is actually the first island im going to
from the three they make you choose after Athens
Think of it like the difference between dark souls and bloodborne. The aim is for the player to in general be more aggressive and nimble.
A lot of the music in general really reminds me of Witcher 3 for some reason.
How do we have a Spartan warrior and no shield/weapon combination?
Spear/shield to be exact.
That's pretty dumb, since it's the shield that defined this era of warfare, and not any sword or spear.
You gotta do specific things to get those dudes to show up.
Yeah it's frustrating. And their excuse it awful. If they couldn't find a way to make sword/shield fun and aggressive then that's their failing as developers. It doesn't have to be identical in mechanics to Origins.
Still, as an ancient history fan I tell myself that shield tactics back then were for line formations. You defend yourself and the guy to your left. The guy to your right uses his shield to help defend you. You push together as a unit. As a lone mercenary you don't have that line formation, so maybe the extra mobility is more useful. Still, that should really be down to player choice just as much as spear or sword or axe is.
No reason they couldn't dock the broken spear in an equipped shield for example and use the piece of Eden excuse for why Kass/Alexios can throw the shield like Captain America.
His adopted son walks up the hill to see what's going on and also engages you in combat.
There are so many little stories packed everywhere. I don't know how they did it. Did anyone else find the island where feral chickens took over and killed their keeper? That made me giggle.
Also holy shit Kassandra is so cute when she meets Phoenix. The way she sits and the face she makes when they talk is precious.

You're not really playing a spartan warrior. Sure she/he was born in Sparte but grew up elswere and doesn't have any real connexion to Sparte.
oh my bad, yeah did those, there is a island with a very similar name.
Btw, for those out exploring Attika, have you run into either the Cave of Pan or Entrance to the Underworld locations?
Some fucked up gnarly shit in those places but the bad guys there dont look like the Kosmos guys, the masks look different. Is this a different cult or these npcs just happen to have different masks?
