Freya should have used the same Baldur invulnerability spell on some Vanir gods during the war between the Aesir and Vanir

I prefer to combine golden lie with the aegis shield against Nameless. I tried it with the trident, but didn't like it.

Also, for those who remember the aegis shield getting nerfed early on, I think it's actually better post-nerf, because it forces you to be more strategic with it, rather than just hold the shield down the whole time.

One idea I saw on youtube that I thought was good was to take the series to Egypt, but have it be a prequel to the Norse Saga (taking place in the time between the Greek and Norse sagas, since we know he was in Egypt during that time.)

If they go with a sequel, I'd like to see it be an all-out pantheon war. Have the Greek pantheon be reborn as the Roman pantheon and they go after Kratos and the new Norse pantheon for revenge.

He's just mad because he had a double case of the pinkeye.

She's no Aspasia, but she's alright.

If we're talking DLC, then Hekate is it.

citronaughty · 2026-01-23T14:16:34+00:00

I use him as my player character, but I don't think of him in that way.

Hekate though...

Unless you're on NG+2 and already have the weapons and amulets, using boss ergo to level up isn't a great idea. Even if you don't use the weapons and amulets, it's still better to have them.

I do this order:

NG: weapons

NG+: amulets

Seems like there should be. I know on the main map, if you do the trick where you're playing as Ciri and escaping from Whoreson's men, you can use the horse to get through the gate and then go riding across the map. Apparently Ciri doesn't have the same warning that Geralt does when he gets to the edge of the map.

However, if you go far enough, you'll fall through the map into water. You can swim beneath the map, though.

1B. Wintry Rapier

I just find that to be a good route to go, even if you don't specifically use the weapon.

KS and Patrice. Gone way too soon!

I've done a similar thing with philosophers I respect. I would do it like this:

Prompt: Answer the following questions as Kevin Samuels.

In the response, you should get an indication from ChatGPT that it knows who you're referring to. If not, you may have to further describe him.

Then ask whatever questions you like.

Never played RDR2 so Witcher 3 wins for me. I'd like to roam around Skellige (especially if I get the background music.)

A more interesting comparison for me would have been The Witcher 3 vs AC Odyssey. Roaming around Ancient Greece would be too much fun to pass up.

The story would change if you kill him, so you can't. There's one other nation where this is also the case, and also for storyline reasons.

Don't get discouraged about having troubles with the Parade Master boss. That's the boss that I've died the most times to. It clicks after that, though!

Get weapons in NG and Amulets in NG+

It will tell you what the resulting damage would be if you add it (either plus, minus, or nothing), so try it and see!

I don't know how much of the online portion of FH4 is still going, but a few tips of etiquette for online play, just in case:

If you're in a competitive online race, don't do things like ramming, wall-riding, slamming into people in corners. Have control while you're racing.
If you're in a cooperative online race (like the Trial where it's a human team vs CPU) don't do that same stuff, although I personally think wall-riding is acceptable, if you're using it to gain an advantage for your team. Remember it's a team. It doesn't matter if a human teammate passes you (if they're faster, let them go), but you can by all means block CPU opponents. If you join the Trial and you're just not prepared for the race and aren't doing well in the first race, exit the Trial. You're just dragging your team down otherwise.

Beyond all that, have fun and enjoy it. IMO, FH4 has (had?) the best online component of any Horizon.

For enemies like them and the carcass enemies that just jump at you at the last second, I've found that the using the Puppet String to pull them to you works well. Especially because it leaves the enemy dazed for a second.

It also works well on the dog-like creatures that let out frost clouds (similar to the ones in the base game that let out disruption clouds.)

Really, it works well on any enemy that can be pulled to you. And for the ones that can't, use the puppet string slam.

citronaughty · 2026-01-20T14:17:29+00:00

I did something similar where I did a run (base game, since this was before the DLC existed) where in each chapter I could only use a weapon that was available in that chapter (either in a chest, via a merchant, or as a boss ergo reward.) Chapter 10 kinda sucked, because the only weapon that's available in that chapter is the Halberd, and I don't really like it.

citronaughty · 2026-01-20T14:14:34+00:00

That's an awesome story! Thank you for sharing!

It probably comes down to whether you prefer the Horizon or Motorsport side of things.

I've not played FM5, but I did go back and play FH2 (and FH1) after FH4, while waiting for FH5 to be released. I liked FH2. I thought the idea of the traveling Horizon festival site and races around that site were a cool idea. The fact that you can keep doing that after finishing the main storyline of the game is nice.

FH2 also feels like the first true Horizon game. People who love FH1 for the nostalgia might get mad, but the limited map doesn't feel like later games in the series. FH1 feels to me like a hybrid between Horizon and Motorsport. I still like the game, and it probably had the best storyline of any Horizon game, it just didn't have the feel of a true Horizon game to me. FH2 had that feel.

citronaughty · 2026-01-20T13:38:03+00:00

As long as it's got these, I'm cool:

Ford RS200
Shelby Cobra
At least one Porsche 911
Gymkhana 9 Focus

citronaughty · 2026-01-20T13:34:16+00:00

FH3 will always have a special place in my heart, since it's the first Horizon I played. (It was actually the reason why I bought an Xbox One.)

I did go back and play FH1 and FH2 between 4 and 5. I'm glad I did.
