That explains why I had almost as much fun as with Breath of the WildBayek, unquestionably- Losing the emotional weight that Origins has running through its characters and story really dented my enthusiasm for Odyssey.
Put another way, Origins felt like a story (largely because of Bayek & Aya), Odyssey felt like a series of gameplay loops with some exposition
I don't have an educated opinion about who is better. Origins and Odyssey are both in my backlog.
That said, is Kassandra the better character to choose for someone playing Odyssey for the first time?
As the bad guy, yes. Big ugly dummy punching stuff with the (vaguely)Greek equivalent of a bad Russian accent. 10/10. As a protagonist? loool
She's basically canon so yes. Has way better personality and voice acting than Alexios does. By the entire breadth of the United States.I don't have an educated opinion about who is better. Origins and Odyssey are both in my backlog.

I will never understand the love for Kassandrs on here. Bayek was an amazing character.Bayek has by fucking far. I'm kind of baffled why people like the Odyssey protagonist so much. I guess people like that generic sarcastic "wit" despite seeing it everywhere else.
Also I played as Kassandra and I thought she just failed to convey any emotion during the most pivotal of scenes. Unlike Bayek who I legitimately felt sorry for.
