    Yeah, Odyssey is that good that I'd be happy with a Season 2.

    Imagine if all the games were connected, but you never buy a 'new game'. You only ever buy a new area, which may or may not come with a new character but a continuation/addition to the overall story. Like, next DLC could be a map as big but set it in say, Turkey at the same time. You 'sail' across to it if it's the same character. Eventually, you could have a series of DLC which all make a globe of AC goodness!

    I'm thinking too big...

    yeah but you'd end up with a game that was built on old tech and for old hardward after a bit, so it wouldn't stand the test of time.

    Yes and No

    Yes that will happen but you are paying for a service (EA access Upay Xbox game pass)

    Yes streaming will make that an option for...................

    No Players want updated graphics so updating the game means updating their PC/Console. (see above)

    No you want an MMORPG without the MMORPGSness :D

    I'm stuck in this game now with a bug :(.

    IF anyone knows a fix let me know!!!

    I am at the ancient forge where you upgrade the spear to level 2. I've seen on YouTube when you go to the forge and put the spear in it triggers a cutscene and upgrades the spear. This doesn't happen for me, I am in the quest and I interact where you enter the spear and it glows then dissappears. No upgrade and it just tells me to explore the cave and I can't get out?

    This happen anyone else?

    There are other weapon upgrade forges in there, think you just need to explore/interact with the others ones first before the spear actually upgrades..

    Totally robbed from Reddit:

    Is this the first time you go to the forge and you have other fragments from cult members?
    Cause if it is, go outside after you upgrade it once. There will be a cutscene and after that you can go back inside and upgrade it again.
    After the second upgrade you do, (to level 3) it takes 7 fragments to do the next upgrade.

    Going outside can be hard, if you have the colours set it can be very dark to find the way back out.

    The patch notes mention this specifically
    Addressed an issue that prevented players from upgrading the Spear of Leonidas at the forge

    Picked this up recently and having a bit of a love hate relationship with it - I really want to get in to it but I only seem to manage an hour an day before I get bored. Just finished
    Megaris
    but I’m really not feeling any hooks yet. Shame because it’s a beautiful looking game but it all feels a bit samey if that makes any sense :)

    Same, i couldn't get into it. There is a great game the but it just didn't hook me in, I'd turn it off after just a couple of missions to play something else. Traded it in and made a 3 euro profit do not too bad. I felt i wanted an AC game but got a Witcher style game of which it comes no where close to the witcher. Shame as the dlc looked really interesting and an absolute ton of content, disappointed i couldn't enjoy it more.

    I'd say give it a while and get it again when it's dirt cheap. I had a few games like that, and on the second (or sometimes third) return I got hooked. As you said, there is a tonne of content and it's a beautiful looking game, and a joy to play imo. Still working on the DLC, but playing other games too, can't seem to stick to one lately.

    This is odd, I just finished this mission and umm nothing happened?

    https://guides4gamers.com/assassins-creed-odyssey/quest/school-of-hard-knocks/

    I didnt get to Sparta kick the bad guy or get a new mission? It just ended after I battered the trainer dude.

    Is there something missing?

    I finished both of them and found the ending kinda bad, it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger

    Yeah when it first came out there was huge uproar over it. I think they changed that ending so that it’s not for love but keeping the bloodline alive

    That's sort of the modus operandi for the AC series.

    I was really into this but for some reason haven't thought of going back to it after a month away... odd.

    Actually perhaps its better they dont force you to buy the dlcs to get the ending. Ive read online that the atlantis storyline from the main is prob the canonical ending as it brings the certain character into the present day.

    Yeah the Atlantis DLC basically expands on that ending but could easily be ignored as would be explained in the next game
