I disagree with just about everything the OP stated except the auto leveling. I think that does dull the sense of advancement a bit, especially in a game with so many leveled territories.

Other than that, I think the gameplay is very fun. The powerful arrows being linked to adrenaline makes attacking forts even more strategic than Origins, since you could take out most enemies in Origins just sniping. You can't do that as much here in Odyssey so it changes your plan of attack a bit.

Overall, this might be my game of this gen of console, it's certainly rivaling HZD for me. It has fun gameplay, great graphics, some good characters (some of the quest givers are very well thought out and some are hilarious), I love the setting and time period, there are a large variety of things to do. I love a good game with a huge world, it means I can keep playing. I blew through Spiderman in 4 days (EVERYTHING except some of the random crimes were complete). I'm level 39 in Odyssey and there is still a TON to do and explore.

I don't get into politics much, but I made a couple posts earlier in this thread about my father and Cherokee heritage as an example.

I found this in a article about Warren, "Her DNA, as analyzed by Stanford genealogy expert Carlos Bustamante, reveals her to be between 1/1024th Native American and 1/32nd Native American."

As you can see in my earlier posts, I thought this would end about as it has, given the recent statement about Warren by the Cherokee Nation. She simply doesn't have enough heritage, it's way too small of a percentage to be considered Native American by any recognized standards.

I'm a big AC fan, Unity and Syndicate were by far the worst of the series.

Just my random thoughts:

-When I see "online multiplayer", it's an auto pass for me nowadays.

-Bethesda is one of a few companies that does the single player immersive games properly. I think it's a waste of the their time and energy on the MP crap.

-I would have MUCH rather have had another single player Elder Scrolls come out at some time over the past several years, instead of ESO and Fallout76.

@n64dd: I have no clue. Did she release the % she wants to claim?

@LJS9502_basic: 1/64 isn't considered enough heritage.

@lordlobster: Correct. My father is 1/64 Cherokee, he wasn't allowed to claim it as a minority status. He was also denied family historical records by the Cherokee Nation when he was trying to discover more on our family tree.

@br0kenrabbit: Yikes, I can see why you don't like cars. That's an awful list, at least from an enthusiast point of view.

@br0kenrabbit: What cars have you had?

@br0kenrabbit: Same as any other hobby, people (like myself) get interested and hooked on them. I love learning about new engines/cars and upgrading them to make the car better and faster.

I also love the looks of a lot of muscle and sports cars.
