Nice shots all! Honestly, that doesn't bother me at all... By the way, as far as I know the Animus thingy only works if you are the descendant of that person so I never expected anything else. Assassin's Creed Odyssey was advertised as being able to make your own choices: Link: Power of Choice trailerYet, Ubisoft throws all of that overboard in the latest installment of the DLC. Depending on how you played the game before the choice you don't get to make invalidates all of the other choices you made before. The DLC forces a number of people into a relationship they're not comfortable with. Game director Jonathan Dumont stated in an Entertainment Weekly article that this was something they wouldn't be doing and here we are: they broke their promise. And to add insult to injury they call the achievement "Growing Up". Even though it doesn't really concern me directly, this whole thing does bother me, since it not only excludes people, it insults them too and then there are people who thinks this is all okay, because it's "just a game". That scene with Phoibe was really sad. It was a weird night too when I played that bit, since after playing that part I went to Naxos, so it was like going from an extreme low to an extreme high...
Looks like they are trying to fix that. LMAO - today I got a message from Support. They have no solution for this bug yet .... Damnit - since 4. November I wait - and now they come around the corner with less then nothing. *sigh* I suppose this is the first and last game I ever bought from Ubisoft. You know... As a programmer (full stack web dev) I'll say that don't be too hard on them. It's impossible to make bugless code. No matter how much you test there's always going to be something. Considering how large this game is for example, stuff like this just might happen. There are so many different combinations that it's a QA nightmare. All it takes is a small typo and everything is broken. I've messed up a few times too. One was a bit worse... Generally speaking though, I produce high quality code.

Tup I see what you mean. But what bothers me most is the time since 4.11.2018 !!! = 11 weeks !!! with nearly no respons or some information. I can only hope the bug is disappeared with the fresh start. I love the game and Kass really - and I cant stop to make screenies Ugly creature and a heavy fight this scenery reminded me on a old song *Moonlight Shadow* from Mike Oldfield

ladyaly : I know it's annoying to not get any feed back. On the other hand I'd suppose I'd rather have them spend time on trying to fix the problem. Kinda reminds me work where some plant operators keep calling about missing results. It doesn't help telling them that everytime I have to go and pick up the phone means that they have to wait longer for their results, because instead of working on their sample I'm having to talk to them on the phone. Still in these sort of cases a monthly update would be nice.
Nice screenshots btw Tup : The fact that Ubisoft is now going to change a few things in the DLC is something at least. Can't help but feeling that it will still be kinda disappointing. I finished the second part of the DLC btw and I wasn't impressed either. Kassandra just didn't seem herself. It was more like someone had replaced her with a clone.

Sometimes things can be just so random that they are extremely hard to reproduce or just really unlikely and they end up in limbo. Then you have to prioritise (especially if it's someone else's shitty legacy stuff ). Who knows, maybe they have fixed the issue so that it will not happen. Fixing already borked stuff though... Nice shots.

Tup and GroundSquirrel Yes - you both are right. Cross your fingers, cause I am very near this special point now How far are you in the game Tup ? Wont post pic's which have spoilers. But I guess this 3 wont do any harm The Path to Madness

ladyaly : Keeping my fingers crossed here. Another fun creature to deal with that one ^^^ Some random screenshots: Just another nice detail is the 'shaking the water off the legs' animation. Don't see it as often as the 'shaking the water off the arms' animation though.Time to fight and see how that Pirate Hood looks on Kass.Gossipping on the Adrestia?EDIT: I've started a new run since Witcher 3 has decided to be a pain in the behind: it keeps crashing at a certain point. Tried an earlier save to no avail and I don't feel like going back any further at this point. Oh well... So anyway a new run with Kassandra since there are a number of cutscenes I wanted to capture without subtitles this time. It's funny though. Backed up the last saves in my savegames folder and then deleted everything in this folder. Game then won't let me save anything saying I've reached the maximum number of saves even though the folder is completely empty (save for the few autosaves that were made prior to when I wanted to save) Solution was to copy the backed up saves back to the Savegame folder and then deleted all the saves through the game. Why so hard?

GroundSquirrel I guess they have numbers. So I suppose no matter what you delete the number stays. Maybe its possible to give it another number ? and .... H E U R E K A the Bug is gone !

ladyaly : WOOHOO!!! Glad you managed to make more progress this time. I'll still keep my fingers crossed though. Hope you'll now manage to finish the main story without another game breaking bug to happen to you.
I had a tiny little bug in my current playthrough which I really won't complain about: I managed to sail to Megaris without destroying that blockade of Athenian ships. I guess they all fled when they knew Kassandra was going to kick their butts again for the 2nd time

ladyaly: Nice shots. I wonder how things ended for the Cult Leader in your game. Didn't end well in my game, but I was really tempted to choose differently. Does this mean you finished the main story or are you just tying up loose ends before going there?

GroundSquirrel thankies Yes - it didn't well either in my game, even with the silver tonguer this person had. But all the manipulation, using Kass and especially causing so much death of innocent people, did put all the temptetation fast away. And yes - I did finish now all the 3 main stories with endings I really be happy with Now doing some leftovers, sidequests and map explorations before I start the DLC's

But I guess this 3 wont do any harm The Path to Madness My main progress is still at 41%, lol. You can post spoilers since I'm way behind you both. Well, the biggest ones you might want to try to hide with hard to read text colour.

Tup : 41%? You almost sound like a colleague of mine. It took him over a month just to get off Kephalonia It's funny though. He eventually finished the game in less than 50 hours and only played the main story. Didn't do the Atlantis storyline, any of the other sidequests or even the DLC even though he does have the season pass. I keep telling him he might have been better off buying a regular edition of the game instead of a collector's edition heh.
I noticed how Visual Customisation now lets you pick from different colour variations of armor. Or maybe it already did, but it wasn't working in my first playthrough. I still have to store everything I find in the storage chest on the Adrestia first before being able to select it from the Visual customisation menu.

Some progress in my 2nd playthrough: made it to Phokis and paid the Pythia a visit in her home. Also got all dressed up for the Cult of Kosmos party, so it's off to Athens soon for Kassandra. It looks as though I may be starting a new game soon though: apparently there will be news on New Game Plus in February's Monthly update video. I'm also missing some of the gear I bought with Helix credits and the armor I bought with the Orichalcum I gathered Minor spoiler, but probably safe for Tup : In my first playthrough I visited the Pythia at her home before killing Elpenor. This time I ended up killing Elpenor before visiting the Pythia. It's nice that the game picks up on that with a slight change in the conversation with the Pythia at her home and the conversation you have with Herodotos after visiting her. A few more screenies: Lovely view of Delphi and awww look at it! You can even see Kephalonia from here!
Kass even had time to stop by Home & Garden. Still needs to find a proper home though. Happy Kass.
Getting some answers from the Pythia.

Tup I wont put any spoiler for you here. It would be sad if you miss all the surprises the game has GroundSquirrel Nice Pics! I wonder how much different it is if you play Kass bitter and revengeful. Btw.: I only need to loot the pieces to get the opportunity to change outfit. So atm I have the Amazon outfit on her but with a totally different look. But honestly - you miss stuff bought ? that would make me a little bit angry
