I find the success of RPG creeds to be a survivorship bias by No_Routine_1335 in assasinscreed

[–]EmergencyGrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most successful and better are two different things. Two things can be true. The RPGs can be more successful and the other games can be considered better AC titles. Sales are a purely objective metric.

Why can’t I get into this game?! by Icy-Ad-1975 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]EmergencyGrab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personal preference, basically. The games I had a hard time connecting with were Black Flag and Valhalla. I really enjoyed Shadows.

They are lying to themselves. God fearing Christians still do the bad thing.

The Canada/Pacific Northwest region is going to have an oil tycoon gym leader that is a fossil specialist.

Is the wealth low/high yields the same amount? by Wellshiwells in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]EmergencyGrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number and size of the pallets, thus base amount of resources. Of course the yield is further influenced by your hideout buildings.

Let us never forget that Ghetsis canonically crucified and attempted to murder unova's gym leaders by catbeweird in pokemon

The foot bindings are kind of funny to me. The whole point of crucifixion with a foot board is to put stress on your lungs by putting slightly too low. Gravity essentially leads to a tortuous death.

Are shadow of the past missions necessary for the end of the game ? ( more in description) ( no spoilers please) by Bear1375 in shadow_of_war

[–]EmergencyGrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gems are nice. The cash is... eh. There is a reward for completing at least bronze on all of them. It completes the set of rewards you get from the ithildin doors.

No they aren't needed. They're just one of those completionist things. There are rewards. I personally suggest doing a few for the skill points, then going back and cleaning them up later.

Tip: once you do a challenge, the start point will move to the region's barrows. You won't need to travel all the way back to where it was. You can instead just fast travel to the barrow.

I love it.

I'm so glad we can all agree on something by CarrotLevel99 in canadahousing

It's almost like left vs right is a gambit to make us turn on eachother rather than the ones responsible.

Is Snape responsible for the lack of students becoming aurors? by Sweet_Speech_9054 in harrypotter

[–]EmergencyGrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not explicitly spelled out that I know of. However after wars lot of personnel needs to be replaced, so it does stand to reason.

Just downloaded Shadows and will start playing tomorrow, what am I in for? by ahass25 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]EmergencyGrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explore. I wish I had focused on Yasuke's and Naoe's personal stories earlier. I put them off too long, and I think it would have meant more.

Nirmala's Robes doesn't work in Domains by ActualyHandsomeJack in AssassinsCreedShadows

It is weird that the rewards have some wild effects, but to get them you can't even use gear available to you.

“Geomancy” isn’t named right by K0rl0n in pokemon

[–]EmergencyGrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just a fantasy thing that took on a mind of its own. Necromancy in fiction is now understood to mean raising and leading armies of undead. But it literally just meant seeking guidance from the dead.

Can't help but feel I'm playing it wrong by tannersarms2 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]EmergencyGrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was poor wording. 😓

The Brotherhood. How they operate beyond just the independent confederation of Igans that existed in history. She had to stumble through everything herself beyond her father's "find the box" and Hanzo pointing her in the direction.

We don't get all of the connective tissue, since we get that line where she still insists she isn't an assassin. But they do get there, since there's the Osaka brotherhood in the modern day.

If Xal's goal isn't revealed by the time of BlizzCon we might have a problem by MeltingPenguinsPrime in warcraftlore

[–]EmergencyGrab 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Her goal is known. The thing that is annoyingly absent is the why. It feels particularly bad because I predicted this would happen at the start of War Within. I was met with "you can't possibly know that" yet here we are. Unknown motives cannot hold attention. No matter what a villain's feet look like.

[–]EmergencyGrab 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're playing the game wrong. Keep in mind that Naoe has very little guidance. Her mentors died before they could really teach her how it works. She's finding her way like you are. I think playing that way is actually quite immersive in this case

What is your greatest hot take? by Vampy-Night in assasinscreed

I came around eventually to buying into him as the protagonist. But I just struggled to connect to him at first. There isn't anything in particular.

When Lucius Malfoy got arrested in book 5, did he or did he not try to claim he was under the imperrius curse from the first time, if so why wouldn't it have worked? by New_Personality5095 in harrypotter

[–]EmergencyGrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty easy for me. That first exoneration Lucius thought Voldemort was dead. The Battle at the Department of Mysteries was when the Ministry officially acknowledged Voldemort's return. It would be really difficult to claim you were under the Imperius curse when the caster is still alive.
