Still on my Assassin's Creed Odyssey kick. I'm doing my first New Game+ and trying to hit level 99 so I can try out a damage glitch build. (I babbled about this last weekend, too; the TL;DR is that Ubisoft used a 16-bit signed integer for damage, and if you go negative, it loops back around to 16-bit MAX_INT, which is in the neighborhood of two billion.) I've managed to speed-clear all of the temples in the base game and most of the main questline, with a quick detour massacre cultists while

the leader of the cult was aboard my ship. I made her ride along while I did the entire branch that are all ship battles. There are more members of the band The Cult than there are living members of the Cult of Kosmos in my game right now, and that's just because they're gated behind story quests that I haven't done yet.I managed to clear enough of the storyline to unlock the DLC questlines, so I'm shifting gears to do those for the extra ability points and the massively boosted XP. Once I hit level 99, I should already have enough ability points to do the aforementioned build, and then some. I can technically do it at level 91, but assassinations get unreliable below 99 with this setup. Either way, I should hit 99 partway through the Atlantis DLC; I'm looking forward to cheesing the ever-loving shit out of the Episode 2 end boss fight with integer underflow damage.
After this, I'm not really sure. Probably Octopath Traveler Zero or Clair Obscur. Or a quick Skyrim run if I can come up with a silly build concept to try (preferably with minimal mods).
I really liked Odyssey, though I feel like it's controversial in the fandom (for lack of a better term) for reasons unclear to me
It's a Witcher 3 clone with Assassin's Creed characteristics moreso than it's an Assassin's Creed game. It was also my first AC game, so I came into it with a different perspective from most of the Ubislop fanbase. It scratches the same kind of open world RPG itch as an Elder Scrolls game for me, but with ship combat thrown in because fuck it why not.
Yeah but the best parts of assassins creed are the settings and the worst part is the incoherent meta plot, so I kinda thought it was a step in the right direction
edit: I played when the franchise was twisted and never got over how bad the end of the second one is. No idea how that became the iconic one. (These are the things we carry)
I mean, they had me at Lesbian Medusa
