Any advice? Missibles?

Is it as shit as Origins was?

If you disliked origins you'll hate Oddyssey, it's Origin times 15. I liked Origins, and I dig Oddyssey, but it's world is outright tedious to explore

The world doesn't bother me, the ass backwards leveling system does.

*stabs dude from behind through the heart*

"Oh that barely hurts him because he's level 31!" is JRPG shit that doesn't fit in a stealthy game.

It also MURDERS the point of an open world.

"Here is a gigantic map.. Except 93% of it is utterly pointless at all times because everything is either super-weak or super-strong because of their level"

You could be the strongest dude in the world. You're not getting up from having your throat slit. I don't understand that and the knock on effect it had on making quests and exploration in Origins utterly pointless was gigantic

There are zero missable trophies/achievements. I have all the base game achievements but not the DLC ones because I don't yet have the season pass. Loved Origins and Odyssey, but like the last poster said, if you hated Origins then Odyssey isn't for you.

Why does it always seem like UR hates everything

Whilst that still IS an issue, its MUCH less of an issue

Why? Abillity Points.

You can use abillity points and gear to enhance the strength of Stealth attacks.

And some people say the enemys gear doesnt level so this makes things easier for you.

And also, if youre ok with Ghosting being the only issue, you could just hit and run with stealth, as the enemy easily loses sight of you and returns to SOP shortly after.

And also, if an enemy is strong enough to survive a stealth hit, the animation changes accordingly. You wont see a dramatic impaling if they survive it, it will be a swing left, swing right, minor scratch, kinda thing.

Theres also a lot more animations for stealth kills in general (and it tends to only be the officers and such that can survive a normal stab, and IIRC at max LVL and stealth potential only an Elite Brute AKA Polemarch can survive a Critical Assasination, but then you can just combo a hero strike afterwards)

It is better than origins IMO:

If Origins is Unity, Odyssey is Syndicate

The bigger issue is Level scaling is forced... for now, if it wasnt then being overleveled would make stealth attacks instakill from the getgo.

If you want a stealth experience from Ubisoft, how bout splinter cell instead?

Chaos Theory, Double Agent (V2 AKA PS2), Conviction and Blacklist are definitely enjoyable.

Whilst Blacklist does have some RPG elements, its in your sneaking abillity, not your backstab from behind abillity.

What's wrong with that?

Stealth attacks SHOULD be instakill.

That's like the entire core of the series. You pick your spots, stalking and hunting people and take them out.

If you get spotted or into real combat then you fucked up

Exactly.

What i mean is, if you COULD turn LVL Scaling off, you could be overleveled, and then Instakill with stealth

But since you cant turn LVL Scaling off... instakill Stealth takes more work sadly..

And honestly, it sounds like you would enjoy splinter cell a lot more, since thats what the first 4 are all about

Conviction changes it, so its more about killing the bad guys, but the game is still more fun if you dont get detected (atleast in the Deniable Ops sidemissions)

Blacklist is closer to form on that, as the Ghost playstyle is all about avoiding enemies, and Non Lethal takedowns if you cant, whilst Panther is all about Lethal Kills without being detected

Yah, this is much worse in Oddyssey tbh. I don't understand people who complained about RDR2 feeling slow or tedious while at the same time praising this game. I like Oddyssey but it's a chore. The leveling system in this one is designed to try to get you to buy a microtransaction to speed it up

I leveled from 43 to 47 in like less than 3 hours. Is the grind ever coming?
