Current Events > Couple questions about Assassin's Creed: Origins

(+) Yeah! (+)

1) I stopped following AC's modern day story sometime around AC2 Brotherhood. Will this game catch me up well enough to understand what's going on? I seem to recall hearing about some kind of soft reset to that storyline at some point, or taking it out of focus, or something.

2) Are the sidequests meaty/worth doing or mostly busy work? So far I've just been doing enough side quests to hit recommended levels for the next main story event, and they've been okay but not remarkable.

1) AC1 + AC2 trilogy + AC3 all have a connected and coherent modern day plot following Desmond. After that they kind of just fell apart (I can explain more if you want but yeah).

AC Origins has very minimal modern day story, following a new character. There's a lot of optional shit you can read through that references previous events/characters from previous AC games but honestly it doesn't even have any bearing at all on the story.

2) Some of the side quests do give you some cool stuff but after a while from what I remember they are more just for the cultural immersion aspect more than anything else.

Definitely get at least the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC, too, if you haven't yet. It plays out *after* the end of the main game but omg it has some of the most beautiful scenery in a game.

The other DLC takes place between the end of the game and Curse of the Pharaohs IIRC. At any rate, it's very short and pretty boring fan service that probably won't interest you if you don't care that much about the AC story.

@Blackstar110 I would suggest putting the user "saspa" on ignore until you finish Origins, he's seems to be fond of posting major spoilers for it

That's a weirdly specific gimmick but thanks for the heads up!

Yeah I don't get it, he and I both love the game which bothers me even more that he gets off on spoiling people on something he is so fond of

anyways enjoy the game it's awesome!

Ignore Bignutz, he doesnt know what hes talking about.

Listen to Hexen though. Also should get Odyssey after if you liked Origins and you like Ancient Greece too.

---

I already own Odyssey too, definitely gonna do it. Just wanted to do Origins first.

....you do realize "that site" has a record of his spoiler post? Anyways you're just buttmad that I prefer Origins to Odyssey, maybe it's time for you to get over it?
