Assassin's Creed

I want to find an Isu tomb that has an Isu still alive in it. He needs to wake up from stasis every two weeks to turn the giant stone computers on and off again.

He's really surly about it.

In fact, it's possible to record digital information on quartz. This has been stated so that we can now keep it for millions of years.

Then someone pointed out, "That's nice but what possible use could we have for that?"

Well, if we ever genetically engineer a new sentient species and want to send them text messages in a few hundred thousand years...

I mean, recording digital information on a medium not vulnerable to decay isn't exactly the problem. It's in fact startlingly simple. Glass will last for a million years. Quartz much the same with a resistance to shattering. You can basically make C Ds out of Quartz and yeah, they'll last forever. Especially when under safe storage.

It making the machine that can read that record and function continuously for millenias on end that's much, much more difficult.

So, uh, I'm in Mykedonia and Brasidas appears to have been knocked unconscious and is floundering on the ground. I can pick him up and he's alive, but I can't talk to him.

Try reloading a save and see if that resets him.

You know what I really wish they'd bring back for these games?

Assassin's Creed Multiplayer. The last game that had it was Black Flag.

@Redmess: Yeah, I did. Idiot set himself on fire with a brazier before I got to him and had no way of handling it.

Well, nearing the end of the game here. Just gotta deal with the Gorgon and dear old dad, and then I think I can put it down with no regrets.

I can't say I really miss multiplayer, never played it, either.

And we should be careful what we wish for in that regard. Look what happened to GTA V, where the multiplayer has completely overshadowed the single player campaign, to the point that there has been NO DLC for single player at all. Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to be headed the same way.

Ultimately, I also just prefer single player over multiplayer in general.

Despite what you read online, that seems to be a popular choice, given that GTAV is still a bestseller on a monthly basis, five years after it came out. People are still playing it.

Also, can’t say I miss multiplayer in Assassin’s Creed. I played it a bunch in Black Flag for the trophies, but it’s not very good.

Ya can’t really compare AC multiplayer to GTA stuff.

I mean the stuff in like Black Flag was just constant stealth matches against a whole bunch of people. GTA has a ....... bit more stuff to do than just a death-mode match.

The point was more that too much focus on multiplayer can overshadow the single player game. And Assassins Creed is just best enjoyed as a single player game, I think.

I am so glad that I slew the real minotaurus before starting the questline with the fake one. It makes the whole thing even more hilarious.

That being said, I have run into a serious bug. My game always crashes between cutscenes in A Family's Legacy, it is the only time it does that, but it prevents me from finishing the story. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?

Sry DP.

I don't know. I liked multiplayer if only for it being pretty unique. There was other multiplayer games like the mode but they are pretty rare.

I mean, it is ok if it's just a small feature, like in the past, but it shouldn't become something that overshadows the single player.

Well, that's that finished with. A trio of good endings, even if I was annoyed that the Cult ending quest spoils Kassandra being alive in the modern day. Seriously, why spoil a twist that's maybe an hour or two away at that point?

I also don't buy for a hot second that the Cult is the precursors to the Assassins, what with fighting for Chaos or whatever. Because they totally weren't. If you install puppet dictators in both city-states and then start a war between them, that's not chaos just because there's a war on. You still run both city-states.

Not to mention UNIFIED all the vassal states

From Kass' retelling of the story of Perseus: "He [Zeus] transformed into a golden shower and visited her [Perseus' mother]."

Does this count as Getting Crap Past the Radar, or what?

No, it doesn’t. Because that’s the literal story, and it’s an M-rated game.

Is "golden shower" like, he turned into pee, or as the documentary I watched rather fancifully put it, like a beacon of golden sunlight shining through a crack in the crate, into which floated lots of glittery gold dust?

Or worse, did he just piss on the box, and she got pregnant from that

The Ancient Greeks had some interesting ideas about how life works, I wouldn't put it past them to have dreamt that up

The classical interpretation is more like the 'shower of golden dust' sort of thing, like a sunbeam or so on. The Oglaf interpretation is a bit more on the euphemistic side...

I mean, if I remember correctly, one of the demi-gods was born from one god (Hephastus? Ares? Can't remmeber) trying to rape Athena and, in the ensuing fight, ejaculating on her leg. Athena wiped the semen off with a hankerchief and... voila, Demigod.

...The greeks were wierd.

What is it with the Greeks and leg births?
