Today's game is Assassin's Creed Shadows. I didn't do any of the main story today and just focused on one of the Legendary Sumi-e. I'm currently in the Autumn Season so it was the fox that i could capture.
I didn't have any synchronization points out in the Region it was in so i had to teleport to one nearby. The one i picked was an Onsen nearby which had this river running through it.
I accidentally took the wrong marker though and went the complete opposite direction than where i meant to go, so instead i went to a synchronization point in the north. It was a waste of time, but i did get this lovely shot of a pond before i fast traveled too the Onsen again.
After setting myself on the right path, i ended up going through this field where i was chased by a Ronin. I ended up ditching him on my horse though because it turns out a horse is faster than a man (who would have guessed?)
I ended up following this stream to my objective, which took me up river. It reminds me a lot of the woods near where i grew up, which had a lot of streams and tall trees.
Finally my objective was reached, which was a tall mountain cliff where the fox would spawn. the issue is that it would only spawn at night and it was only the evening, so i had a bit of time to kill.
I spent the entire time i had just doing a nature photoshoot of the cliffs and just generally exploring the general area. In the camp in the above screenshot i got killed by a Enemy, but luckily the checkpoint didn't send me too far back.
Finally, night time came. I went up to the shrine and the whole thing was lit up with blue light. I snuck up the stairs and observed the Fox chilling out on the cliff. I had to get pretty close to get the screenshot but i got it. I'm a little dissapointed i couldn't get anything more than a drawing of it for my base though. I'd love to have it just chilling out there or as a mount.
Is the game worth the premium? I was thinking of this or Indiana Jones. Or what else is solid right now? Last game I got into was Baldurs Gate 3
I can't comment on Indiana Jones because i haven't played it yet. but Shadows still has a lot going on though, Less than the other RPG AC titles though. The Mid-Game drags on a little too long in my opinion, but the Stealth is back in focus, and if you don't want to do Stealth then you can use the other character to destroy everything in sight.
If you liked the amount of content Baldurs Gate 3 had i'd say Shadows would be good too. Lots to do, though i don't know if the same could be said for Indiana Jones. It has a Cast of characters you can collect similar to Baldurs Gate 3 too if that was something you liked. And if you liked the romance of BG3 then that's an option too (or just skipping it all together).
