Two endings down in AC6. This time....

...By siding with the Rubiconians, I prevented the system from being annihilated, inspiring the people of Rubicon 3 to rise up against the corporations, with Ayre using the Raven callsign as a rallying cry. The downside is that Carla and Chatty can't be talked down and have to be killed in a pretty rough dual boss fight, followed by a rematch with a rebuilt Balteus, and a final boss fight with Handler Walter, atop the burning city-ship Xylem as it plummets through the atmosphere. And he's clearly been broken during his imprisonment, sorry, "re-education", since he can barely string a coherent sentence together and he keeps confusing his motivations and who he's fighting....which does not in any way hinder the fact that he's piloting a high-powered AC souped up with Coral-powered weapons that can wipe the floor with you pretty easily.

Still, a far less bleak ending than the first one. The war with the corporations isn't over, but the Rubiconians have hope (and also aren't on fire).

There are some differences between playthroughs. In one early mission, for example, the first time through, you're accompanied by two of the Redguns to destroy a generator; on New Game Plus, you get a message partway into the mission offering a different commission to betray and kill both of them. There's also some parts and some Arena opponents that don't unlock until NG+.

Now onto NG++ for the true final ending.

I still haven't gotten back to my NG+ AC game, I've been binging FFXIV. I need to do the 'bad' ending.

I play on PC with Mouse/KB cause my hands can't play AC on controller like I could when I was a kid.

Will you all be trying out Bethesda's secret MMO when it comes out?

eh, I don't know anything about it, but I doubt it. Unless it's a sci-fi mmo, then sure.

off off topic: I figured I start to level scholar a bit, and I learned that it shares levels with summoner! So I now have a 90 scholar! I was super confused because it gave me like 20 skills right off the bat, and I thought I was level 30 lol.

No. Look at Fallout 76. And I'm a BIG fan of Fallout. It takes a lot to take the wind out of my sails when it comes to Fallout.

I've never tried Fallout 76, so many games I haven't tried.

Oh I did. Not immediately after launch so I didn't get this fiasco...

( totally worth the watch cause Internet Historian does a fantastic job making his videos entertaining )

But when I did it was still very buggy AFTER the fixes. However I did like the changes to VATS mode since it makes sense with it being a multi-player. Made a pistol/VATS combo pretty fun to do...if you get the cards to do it.

So they changed how perks work and it has positives and negatives.

1. You don't get to choose your perks. You open a trading card pack and those are your perks. It happens every level or every other. I can't remember. Anyway depending on your SPECIAL stats you can allocated that many cards into a single stat.

2. You CAN however take cards out of a stat and replace it with another. This means you can on the fly respec your build with what the situation needs.

3. Some duplicate cards can be stacked on each other. Got one that decreases your hunger 10%? You can put in another if you have it.

4. If you never get the cards you want for a particular build....tough luck. Use what you have.
