About me

I've been playing the Assassin's Creed series since I was an impressionable 18-year old. Assassin's Creed was the first M-rated game I was able to buy without a parent (GameStop carded minors, and Amazon wasn't a thing yet). Understanding the Creed, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted," helped me to understand the nature of our world and society, which in turn allowed me to shed the dogma of my teenage years and become much more fair-minded towards different people. I am 29 now, and this marks my 7th year as a member of Wikia (it will always be Wikia to me, no matter what Fandom does...).

I was content to leave the collation of information to the regulars at this wiki, as they've had a very good format going from day one, only providing sporadic edits maybe once a year. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey brought branching dialogues, consequential choices, among many other role-playing mechanics (which IMO introduces an element of "revisionism" that goes against the core purpose of the Animus: to present the historical events around these heroes' lives exactly as they happened, without room for misinterpretation and bias. But I digress), so I figured my experience from in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age communities would have something to offer on that front.

Though I sincerely hope for a return to the tactical assassination action and social stealth that set this series apart (which still exists to a certain extent, but the increased emphasis on damage and hit points greatly diminishes its effectiveness and synergy with the skills used by Altair, Ezio, the Kenways, Arno, and the Frye twins).

Testing signature to make sure it works.

My favorite pages

Cult of Kosmos notes - I'm collecting them.

Working on

He Waits - Because I have nothing better to do than map out all scenarios for this one. Don't worry, I got the footage I need, it only meant killing the malákas Minotaur a dozen times...

Home Sweet Home (Odyssey) - Any effects of interfering in the agoge?

To Kill or Not to Kill - How does A Legendary Hunt affect the references to the two tasks?

Delivering a Champion - Any long term effects of brewing the oil? Anything happen to that slave?

The Conqueror - vis-a-vis Deianeira, the Cultist clue on Stentor, and the order of operations for champion killing

• Not much to it, it seems: 2 quests to weaken Drakon, 1 to weaken Deianeira (provides a Lieutenant if done in the proper order), an investigation/"hunt" for the huntress champion (makes perfect sense) and Aristaios isn't loaded into the world until after the Stentor conversation to ensure that he's spoken to, and so that Nikolaos can be re-encountered.

A Fresh Start - Really poor Cultist clue placement telegraphed this one way too early in the game (Eyes of Kosmos, completable by Level 20). Mask reveals it's a woman, clue reveals this woman "controls Athenian politics." That's a very short list.

Dinner in Sparta - Hopefully I've got all the combinations. Need to know if Nikolaos can come to dinner independent of Stentor; the latter cannot do the same.

Complete but maybe not

A Night to Remember (Odyssey) - The whole damn questline, really. Exhibit A of why "player choice" isn't always a good thing.
