    Building Your Crew In Assassins Creed Odyssey

    Hey folks, so I've been looking into AC Odyssey recently, wasn't sure if it was an AC game I'd be interested in but it's kind of grown on me the more I've seen it. I put together a little video kind of dissecting what we've learned about the crew building/ lieutenant mechanics in the game and I'd thought I'd share it here too. Hope you find it informative, let me know if you've any feedback!

    Would love to make some more AC vids so pretty eager to make sure the videos are good

    Nice give away! I want it! GIMME! Lol

    And you got a good voice...:P what some flattery doesn't hurt lol

    I'm curious though , if you could answer the question from another topic on this forum : Do you think the recruits can die during a boat fight ?

    And if they do , would that mean some npc or soldier respawn ? does that make the game grindy ?

    and if they do not , does that mean you are screwed ?

    Also , if they cannot die..is that a good thing or a bad thing ?

    other then that , your Vid...just make me wish we could fast forward........

    Haha so many compliments

    I'm not sure, I feel like your Lieutenants could be able to die, the only thing that would counter that is the emergence of the Ubisoft Club exclusive Lieutenant. Because of that it's highly likely that there will be Lieutenants included in some of the outfit packs etc and if a character that people were buying with real cash could die and not be useable then people would be pretty angry.

    So most likely they may be able to be knocked out or something and not be useable until after a cooldown, that would be a bit more of a challenge and be balanced.

    well the lieutenants seem to have a big role in your boat right ? so maybe they are unique and cannot die ?

    Or maybe you can replace them ?

    I mean , they said the game is big right . So they probably populated it with replacement here and there , just in case .

    Still , in the videos about the boat you have . Care to investigate and see if anyone fall dead during battle ?

    Wow, you even did a giveaway! I agree, your voice/accent is really awesome plus the Sound quality. How you say "now" is my favorite.

    This customizing & crew selection - plus that we can change their outfits is great. Ramming looks fun & I'm loving the dolphins springing up as we move along. Brings the game to life.
    So much more than just some regular NPC's thrown onto a boat. I'm seriously Xcited to try this. Being able to really be invested into building the crew & ship up - that the skills they have work towards our battle success....

    I'm wondering too if they've done away with the smaller boats we used to get around with in Origins? So anywhere we wanna go by water, we use this ship instead?

    If your enemies can respawn after a battle, so should your hired soldiers.

    I hate it when people post videos on an internet forum that is designed for discussion when the sole purpose is for subs and likes.

    Next time, post your own thoughts here instead of going "hey, my video is here, watch it!" That way it becomes an engaging conversation instead of one-sided clickbait.

    I'm sorry that you think that's what my purpose was here when you couldn't be further from the truth. I've actually got about four AC videos scheduled, the majority of which share my own opinion on what we know about the game including one about the matter of choice that we now have in AC Odyssey. I was posting it here because, as an active member of the Skull & Bones forums, I know that the Ubi forums are a good place to get feedback and in the S&B forums at least we as a community are happy to give that feedback to one another.

    As for one-sided clickbait, I'm unsure if you understand what the clickbait is, the title of the video correlates completely with the content contained therein, there's no misleading there.

    I would agree with that.

    Totally agree, I love the extra customisation we can add to our crew and ship, no doubt they'll equally add to it over time with their Helix packs kind of like what they did with outfits etc in Origins.

    By the way, speaking of ships, if you like the naval combat side of things have you looked into Skull & Bones? Could be right up your street?

    I'm hoping they haven't done away with the smaller boats completely, if we need to just get into the water just off the shore or explore a large lake or anything like that it could be a little overkill using our Trireme, who knows though. One thing I'm just thinking on is if enemies spawn in those little boats like they did in Origins, it could be a bit OP if they try to chase you while you're in your Trireme if you know what I mean...hmm..I guess we'll have to wait and see.
