I've had safe jumps for every sync I've been to so far. You gotta look for piles of hay/leaves and bodies of water.

Have you unlocked Leap of Faith yet? You gotta play past the intro to get the proper jump.
I believe it's a story thing in Norway, your character doesn't learn the leap of faith until they get to England.
There are definitely 1h swords later on, saw some in the video reviews (and at least one is purchasable in the MTX store)
Fair enough, but it's really annoying (in Norway) to spend time climbing a high mountain, sync the point, and then.....either jump to a huge health loss, or spend minutes manually climbing back down the mountain.
You mean the Scimitar? Thats not a 1Handed Sword.
The only 1Handed weapons in the MTX Store are 2 Daggers, a Flail, and a Hammer.
And i Assume the "1Handed Swords" you seen on Reviewers were 2handers that they just Dualwielded because of a Skill. That doesnt make them 1Handers tho.
there are some sync points without a safe way to jump down but, later on, there will be sync points with the traditional hay bales
The sync spots in Norway seem to be mostly mountains. There's no safe way getting down a mountain.
The one in Stavanger though was on top of a building, and you could safely jump into a small pond from there.
Reading through E-Mails in the real times scenes and, lol, Covid is officially a part in this universe now.
Is there a way to remove the big UI line when auto driving on a house/ship? totally kills the immersion for m e
Heavy attack while jumping negates all fall damage.
Jump down from a mountain and enjoy.
Yeah I wondered about that. I've frequently been climbing down the slow way because I don't often see water or haystacks below =P Makes me really miss the "parkour down" mechanic from Unity. Why oh why did they axe this beautiful feature!?
I'm in England now and the pre rendered cutscenes still have this stutter problem.
Has nobody looked at this before releasing the game? 🤦♂️
But also, was the snow area the first thing they made 3 years ago or maybe the last thing they had to rush a few weeks ago? Just arrived in England and jesus f'n christ, suddenly the game looks stunning. The lighting is good, it's clean and clear and vibrant and even in houses the black level is clean and dark and not fucked up (so far, maybe everything changes if I play for 30 minutes who knows).
This is the impression the game should have started with, the whole sail to England and your first fight there.
God am I glad to be out of that first area. 😅

I am not impressed with the graphics on PC. I have it set to Ultra on a 144 Gsync monitor is just looks muddy, not crisp at all. Running a Ryzen 3700x/RTX 2080.
Anyone have a reliable strategy they use for spearmen? I can handle them but they're kinda annoying to fight
Is there any way to have a closer camera during combat? The zoom out feels a bit immersion breaking and tends to make the combat less impactful.

A next gen remaster of Unity would be nice. 4k/60fps with some ray tracing is all I need.
Even when I do see water I always climb down. Not that falling into haystacks from 200+ feet shouldn't be dicey irl, but crashing into a surface of water from that distance... even if the game employs soft water, it never stops looking hella painful.Yeah I wondered about that.

In Karak's review there's a Stun kill with a sword and shield. I'm not far enough in the game to speak with any authority about the weapon types, but that's what I saw.
(and no, it didn't occur to me that the scimitar could be a 2hander)
I'm still half decided on the game. 50% says I should continue my Odyssey save on the PS5, if there are no compatibility issues, 50% says go for it and get this game instead.
I don't even know when I'll get my PS5 since the retailer I preordered from has a vague delivery date that spans over 3 months.

Lol yeah me too!
I saw a dark patch in the snow after sync at the top of a mountain and thought it was water.. it was a rock🤕
The main character is no where near as interesting as Kassandra
The game has tons of jank with brain dead AI
The parkour and climbing is somehow worse
Graphically so far it looks meh
I don't like the skill tree system
It feels like it's been made by the Origins team for sure. I didn't care that much for Egypt too. I'm still early so hopefully it clicks but Odyssey is the first AC game I beat so I'm disappointed to see what I feel is a step back and retread
Stun Kills use the Weapons of the enemies, which use 1Handed swords.
That's disappointing to hear. I liked Origins but I liked Odyssey a lot more. I was hoping this would be my PS5 launch game along with Miles Morales I'm starting to think I should maybe way for a patch or two plus a discount.
Is it just me or are the treasure "puzzles" to get inside a building not fun at all? I find my self running around a building like 30 times before I realize how to get in and by that time I've been sick of the puzzle for for a while. Maybe I'm just terrible at them lol.
Me at Power level 15. Sees raid area rated power level 180.
Me: Ahh, can't be that bad, blows horn. Me and my gang run up to the monastery. I then get one shot by some order dude lol.

Thats funny, I had the same thought. I almost wish they swapped the cameras, so the zoomed out camera was during exploration and the closer camera for combat.
I've tried to use the combat without the lock-on now. It takes a bit getting used too but it helps a little with the issue.
The walking/running animation drives me nuts. It looks like she has a load in her pants. Why does ubisoft always have such crappy animations? Same awkwardness in watch dogs.
This is probably a dumb question about achievements, but I guess it's a very minor spoiler?
How long does it take for the first achievement (The Saga Begins/finish the prologue) to pop? I've rescued my crew and made it to the first town, shouldn't it have popped by now?
