Yeah, so far I haven't sold any weapons at all, keeping what I find until I decide what I like the most, there's quite a range to choose from between dual blades, single blades and long-handled bashers. The one thing I have done is dismantle lower-grade weapons if/when I find an identical higher-level version, it's an easy way to get raw materials for upgrades to my current kit. The only items I've bothered to purchase upgrades on so far are a stealth predator bow I'm rather fond of, and the Medjay shield to keep him looking in character. Gonna save up all loot items until I have 100 to sell at once, for the trophy. LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. It's even better than I was hoping.

there's stuff outside of the animus... not for long tho, but i have had a couple instances... yea, being able to actually play stealthy is a nice welcome... a lot of previous games just turned into a giant battle after a bit... and that still happens here too, but not even nearly as much as it used to... i am now more used to clearing hideouts without anyone even knowing i was there, outside of a few dead bodies lying around to get their attention ... EDIT: Side Tip (just the tip): if you find a weapon you like, just pay to level that up at the blacksmith... if you need coins, sell off all the items you'll probably never use... i found a rare sickle sword that deals out poison damage... there's times when enemies low on health just drop dead after a second.. and it leaves an eerie purple cloud of smoke in it's wake... sometimes i get out of battle and i am covered in purple dust ... just don't level it up after each level you gain... well i mean you probably can if you want, it just seems like it might cost more in the end if you do it that way...

I've spent the weekend playing this, it's fucking amazing. It's an immersive throwback to the quality of the Ezio series, but the gameplay is not as repetitive - there is more variety in the side missions than the rinse, repeat format from older editions. I like that the micro-transactions are listed as 'Time Savers', but are still completely optional, there's room to earn items and levels merely by playing what's available in the game. No regrets about going for the base level game, there is plenty to keep me occupied. Also, having a pet eagle is the tits. Senu is awesome, I'm using her a lot to scout locations, tag items and enemies, and plan my entry route....as a result, I'm finding more success at being stealthy and not blundering into melee wars with a crowd of soldiers. Excellent evolution of the whole eagle vision trope. I've only taken a few quick pics so far with the in-game photo mode, but it's a great option to have, especially since the settings are all so spectacular. One thing I'm missing in Origins that was present in most of the other AC games - perhaps I haven't spend enough time outside of the Animus?? - is historical blurbs on people and buildings/locations.

really getting into exploring now... missions, especially side ones, are quick and easy to knock out, which are also getting me to explore more now that i met cleopatra... no spoilers, but she officially officially helps you to open up the map more... here's a couple new screens of mine... the land is pretty diverse... also, i am now being hunted by these warriors called, phylakes... they've literally ruined a couple of quests of mine where i have to either avoid the quest until they move, or i have to tip toe around them and not let them know i am near... i reached level 17 last night, and the first one i have to be at least 20 to even have a chance... yikes, these guys mean business...

this past episode was way better than the previous 3 episodes combined... i find the saviors story to be the most compelling at this juncture in their run... i'm bored of sanctuary, we barely ever spend time at hilltop and the kingdom... and if maggie is the widow, a major target for negan, why have we only seen her for like 10 minutes all season? the tiger tho, that was a bit of a letdown really... it seemed just tossed in to give the king something else to cry about, it felt random, even tho that's exactly how she died in the comics... meh, i just don't get this season at all... and that stupid rick/daryl fight that ruined the only thing they were going after all season so far... what a joke...
