    Questions from boomer beginner

    Hi! I have just started AC Origins and it looks beautiful so far. However this is the first time I play AC game, and so I have a couple beginner questions. I'm still in Siva.

    As far as I understand, the game autosaves, and there's no opportunity to save manually without breaking Animus. But how does the game decide when to save? And is there any moment you could be certain that the game is saved (like, for example, fast traveling or anything else)? Can I replay some of the tasks I completed?omegle xender

    First the soldiers only cried at me, but never touched. Now they keep attacking me every time they see me, which is frustrating. Is it how it should be? My guess is that I destroyed Ptolemy statue and killed a couple of them.

    Any hints and tips for beginner would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi there,

    Hope you like the game, it's still my favorite! You never have to worry about saving in Origins, it saves after certain actions, like collecting something, completing a quest, every time you would normally save. It also saves after certain time intervals (like every few minutes) - most games with autosave work like this.

    If I remember correctly, in the same menu where you change your equipment, you can choose the quest you want to replay. I haven't played the game in a long time so sorry if I'm wrong.

    If you break statues, nearby soldiers will attack you, also when you get into restricted areas, cause trouble otherwise, or attack them.

    Hope this helps

    Hey, I also have an article about some useful tips on how to develop the main character. There are more articles actually, this one is about abilities. Check out the link if you are interested. I played Origins a lot, so I could give you some ideas

    62 year old kinda Boomer here ....

    I current started recording a full playthrough of Origins and you can find the playlist on my YouTube channel here .....I'll list the main quest in the title and a complete list of quests and side quests in the description as well as Papyrus locations and their solutions with timestamp as well as battles with Phylakes and main Bosses so if you get stuck or have a hard time with a Boss fight you can see how I went about it

    Currently there are no videos yet because I'm still waiting for YouTube to process them but they should up later tonight or early tomorrow and I usually put up four 30 minute videos per day, more on the weekends

    Being Naughty

    I Just started ACO after many years playing The Witcher 3.
    As with Witcher it's not really what you do, it's if your seen doing it. If your seen you can leave the area or just hide for a day and most like they will ignore you next time. Usually a good time to go hunt down some resources.
    I know it's not really in character But.. Taking to a bit of highway robbery or even piracy sure speeds thing along it the resources department.
    I've robbed transports in Alexandria and no ones bothered much.

    This is my 3rd start, not having gotten much past Alexandria before realising I could have been doing something much better. Highly recommend watching some of the tips n tricks videos. Though none I seen mentioned criminal behavior to get stuff.

    Oh and till you get real good at combat, RUN from red skulls.

    Being a boomer too. I wait a few years to get a game. That way all the bugs are gone and usually include all the DLCs. Payed A$11.95 for full inclusive Origins direct from Ubisoft.
