They could've started setting up at least something there, not at the middle of Episode 2. Though it's isolated to a single region and only gives you a handful of targets, an intriguing villain and the backstory of new characters sets a good foundation for more Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – which is always a good thing. not worth the money: both add-on's aren't really adding anything to the game. In general I expected that will explain from where in general. Some of them were Medjays. Yes, writers managed to connect Origins and Odyssey, but it looks rushed and would've done better. 2nd, and far more crucial, since she has an extremely potent Isu DNA in her blood, from Kassandra, then how come no Isu artifacts react to her during Origins? They do add a new skill armors and weapons but they aren't special or cool enough to change your play-style or get the DLC for. Origins of course shouldn't have pushed that idea, but it could be reasonable to just leave some hints, phrases about Aya's uniqueness. I honestly think they hadn't even thought that far in advance. At the end of the day we've all learned an important lesson. Hire a lore consultant or a team. I already made that point: after almost 400 years (that's around 12 generations, twelve!) How is this an AC game? Posted by. How does Odyssey relate to the entire franchise? Solution - Aya could perform leap of faith in Origins and then say something like "I learned it from my father, it was in our pedigree". I am sorry but at this point this game is actively breaking its long-established lore with bad writing just to try and show us some “cool” connections with previous games... From Elpidios onward all her ancestors are implied to have lived in Egypt from the final cutscene. I really don't know how you could blame Origins. spoiler. Valid point. Nothing new to game-play, it pretty just more story and more people to kill. Very intriguing, interesting characters and plot. They need to write one main story and stick with it rather than going back and filling in blanks (and even rewriting bits) in the cheapest, laziest way possible later on. It was nice eye candy for the cutscene but yeah inaccurate,though i can look past it. I take this as a good sign for the future of this form of entertainment, and as a frustrating demonstration of its present limitations. Look at Blizzard and WoW. Not being like totally independent from each other. 77. This very short DLC is filled with interesting characters, but the lack of brand new mechanics at this stage should make you wait until the release of all the three episodes to buy this DLC. I’m going to be 0% surprised if they reveal that Layla is directly descended from Aya and Kassandra at some point now. Should've been Exodus: Metro's Adventures? Kill 10 enemies using the Fury of the Bloodline Ability. There were over 100 of them in total, and that one may just be one of them.

Episode 1, although it gave us an insight on Darius past, was kinda... blank. With this new Assassin's Creed Odyssey storyline, the player is pleased to meet those who are not the Assassins yet, but still use their hidden blade. Imo, the DLC either needed to focus a lot more on telling the story of how they are linked or why we should care about the link, rather than it having a weird romance and chasing down more random people we had limited contact with or it just needed to not try linking to anything else. Mixed or average reviews Even more stupid is the fact that these two games were in overlapping development and if there was this overarching story that connected the two, it should have been addressed in both games. Thing is though, 300 hundred years of time is far too long for Aya to consider herself Greek by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, technically Bayek wasn't even all that special when you think about it. In this case Exodus can't be called "Metro"? Why Origins didn't leave any hints about it? Even more stupid is the fact that these two games were in overlapping development. Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted is a brief but welcome new slice of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that sets the stage for the more traditional Assassins-versus-Templars-style micro-drama that was mostly missing from the base game. The only way for her to consider herself Greek would be to still have a Greek parent, that’s the only way she knows, because it would just be impossible for her to know her heritage through Elpidios alone, he was many generations before her. I can, imagine that. I was not given anything new, just filled out the empty and dead map of Macedonia with game activities. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Imo, the DLC either needed to focus a lot more on telling the story of how they are linked or why we should care about the link, rather than it having a weird romance and chasing down more random people we had limited contact with or it just needed to not try linking to anything else. Even as a fan, I don't blindly love specific AC game, each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Heal by getting 10 headshot kills while you have the Golden Harbinger equipped. Why? It goes without saying, but if you're a fan of Odyssey, then you're going to enjoy Hunted. Full list of achievements and guides for the Legacy of the First Blade - Episode 3: Bloodline DLC pack in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It wasn't anyone tied to the Isu in any way. Aya, using HP language, is basically a mudblood, and concentration of Isu DNA is low in her. Unfortunately if didn't enjoy the base game, then this won't change your mind. - In 2016 there was a leak about Ancient Trilogy (Egypt-Greece-Rome), which turned out to be true, so these three games should've been connected somehow, right? From Elpidios onward all her ancestors are implied to have lived in Egypt from the final cutscene. This publication does not provide a score for their reviews. What worries me is what else they're going to do to tie things together further down the line? I think most of the problem lies in the fact that fans screamed: How does Odyssey relate to Origins? The only plus - final fight with the leader of a branch of their Award Ancient. Press J to jump to the feed. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft.It is the eleventh major installment, and 21st overall, in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins.Set in the years 431–422 BCE, the plot tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Close. One thing that seems cool to me is that Aya seems to have been born with the bloodline of a hero/assassin...but on the other hand, Bayek was just a regular old dude who grew up to be a protector. We get it, right? Metro: Exodus for the majority of a game (except for few minutes in the beginning) doesn't have actual Metro. Well that doesn't mean no other Greeks were mixed in the bloodline. On a serious note - it is AC game at least because events in Odyssey took place in AC universe. These unscored reviews do not factor into the Metascore calculation. It didn't have enough story content to be a satisfying story-driven DLC like I think they intended and making you do the same types of missions on the same map you've been on for so many hours now, really struggled to make it interesting and thus made the story feel even worse.

Mixed or average reviews- based on 28 Ratings. Story and missions are good. Sure he had a pet eagle and was Medjay trained, but he still was a normal guy who got pissed off enough. Then, when we see the revelation in Ep 3 ending, reaction would be "Ooh, so that's what she meant! With a scenario designed for an episodic release and a bit of fan service, this first DLC is a good way to continue the adventure of Odyssey, even if the region of Macedonia is already known to us.
