Time Text
Greetings, Laddingtons.
I just got back from the Temple of Iron.
Had an excruciatingly glorious session.
Actually, did five repetitions at 220 kg in the deadlift.
All time PR feels goodman.jpg.
It might have something to do with the fact that it is full moon, but I will elaborate further on this in a coming video because I filmed the set two.
But let's get into the episode.
We are here at this heroic place.
Hello, mate.
Highly aesthetic.
Lion.
You can hear them.
Their final war cries before every last one of those brave Spartans perished.
Their voices were silenced that day, but their story will be sung for an eternity.
That is very true indeed.
Cattle die and kinsmen die.
But there is one thing I know which never dies, and that is the fame of a dead man's deads.
Tell me why we're here.
You didn't bring me here to talk about dead Spartans.
What's on your mind, Rothos?
The battle of Thermobile still echoes in our hearts, but to stand here is to feel it in your bones.
There is nothing here but ghosts.
My concerns are with the living.
Hold out your spear.
My spear?
What for?
I need to know something.
There he is.
glorious King Leonidas getting swarmed by the Persians.
An intense scene indeed.
Absolutely epic.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
The stories are true.
That is the spear of Leonidas.
The hero's blade.
What happened to the traitor?
What happened to the traitor, Ephialtis?
King Xerxes paid him well, but treachery breeds treachery.
A contract was put on his head, and he died as he lived.
A coward.
Why was Sparta alone that day?
Where were Sparta's allies?
The Spartans weren't alone in facing Xerxes and his hordes.
Many from across the Greek world were armed and ready to fight alongside Leonidas and his 300.
But when the mighty king looked into their eyes and saw fear, he sent them home.
That sounds like madness, not bravery.
It was foretold by the Pythia that Sparta would lose either its freedom or its king to the Persians.
Leonidas made his choice.
That is an absolutely heroic choice.
What happened to Leonidas?
What happened to Leonidas after the battle?
Xerxes was famous for honoring warriors who fought valiantly against the Persians.
But Leonidas infuriated him so much, he cut off his head and impaled it on a pike.
A bloody battle ensued, and his remains were reclaimed by the Spartans and buried here.
Now, however, he rests where he belongs.
In Sparta.
You knew the spear would do that.
You knew this would happen.
I didn't know, but I did suspect.
There is a place I convinced myself was a dream.
Until now, a peculiar structure on the island of Andros.
Mysterious shapes carved in stone.
Like nothing I've ever seen.
You want to sail to Andros so you can show me shapes?
In my travels, I heard whispers of an ancient civilization.
A people who came before.
Your spear and that place are connected.
Who are the people who came before?
You mentioned the people that came before.
Who were they?
They were not gods, but they lived far longer than any mortal and were far more intelligent.
I've seen carvings in caves, strange symbols that suggest it was this ancient civilization that created humankind and provided them with fire.
But Zeus blamed Prometheus.
Yes.
Well, perhaps his eagle has been feasting on the wrong liver.
Alright, mate, let's go, champ.
We sail to Andros.
The spear awakened to you, Herodotus.
I trust you.
You understand.
I will do everything in my power to help you find your mother.
I promise.
But first, we must sail to the island of Andros.
I'll meet you at my ship.
Absolutely.
Aesthetic place.
Yes.
Yet again, that's because I'm such a fan of these sights.
And there she is, an absolute beauty of a ship.
So, um, indeed, he will, but uh, this wasn't part of my plan.
Alright, I utilized a little edit there because I thought about elaborating on whether I can recommend this game.
And Barnabas, the mad cunt, started talking, and then I got interrupted.
And then I didn't want to interrupt the game.
So I commenced a little edit, and here are my thoughts on whether I can recommend this game or not.
And I will say that it is a good game.
I have enjoyed playing it thus far.
I've played some offline, so to speak, as well, so that I haven't uploaded in a Let's Play.
But I would also say that it's very important that we give feedback to Ubisoft so they know that we don't particularly appreciate certain elements.
So, for example, something I probably thought was the most annoying thus far at least is the female bandit leaders, etc.
First and foremost, I don't really want to kill women even in battle, even in a video game.
It just feels wrong and it looks wrong and it's not historically accurate.
So, that is something I would definitely change.
I hope Ubisoft listens to the future to have it a bit less females involved in battle, etc.
Now, that being said, you can definitely have a lot of female characters doing regular female stuff.
There is plenty of intrigues, etc., that you can have storylines and quests revolving around.
But when it comes to the fighting, I'm not particularly a fan.
Then, there is an aspect of a few sexual semi-degenerate encounters also in the game.
I am not overly prude when it comes to that, even though I have a hard stance against porn, I don't really mind in in films and games if it is a bit of nudity and if it's a bit of um intimacy, etc.
But some um some of the scenes requests have been a bit a bit on the edge for uh my taste.
Not a big deal, though it's not game breaking, but uh uh something that perhaps could um could have been a bit less of.
And uh then in regards to the good things, obviously as we saw with the um Leonidas thing there, it's um highly aesthetic in that regard, you get a good sense of of history, even though there are parts that aren't really historically accurate, you still get a good sense of it, and uh especially the first episode that um we had a really cool opening.
So to give my verdict I can recommend it, but I don't think it's perfect.
If you haven't played any games but you want to start, I would probably recommend The Witcher Thrill before playing this game and then Skyrim obviously.
So there are games that are definitely better but since I am a fan of Assassin's Creed I thought this was a good idea to play this.
So anyway let me know in the comment sections if you want more episodes or if you want me to do Let's Plays on another game.
I do have Kingdom Come Deliverance so I might play an episode there to just show it off a bit.
So anyway thanks for watching and comment below if you what kinda game you would like me to see what kinda game you would like me to play next.
