assassin's creed odyssey really does not give you any recap of the franchise lore at all, does it? they spend more time recapping basic ancient greek history that I kinda remember from school and/or 300 (2006) than the stuff you'd only know from the other games
I did play the third game (because it came with the ps3 I got in 2013, coincidentally about the same time that I watched 300), so I'm not totally lost with those parts, but uh, yeah mostly I am. thankfully so far the game stands without them. to the point I wonder why they bother
this game is stunningly gorgeous though. or maybe it's not and I just think it is cuz I don't play this kind of game much. but either way it would be even prettier if I anyone were selling new graphics cards
when you meet hippocrates he's all like "this idea that illness is sent by the gods for some imagined wrongdoing is bad and doesn't help people and people who believe it are stuck in the past" but it's now 2400 years later and people still believe it
hippocrates: this guy is an awful slaver idk if I should save him
kassandra: what if I free his slaves, killing half a dozen of his goons in the process. then you can heal him without hurting anyone else
hippocrates: I see no problem with this plan
