Aya was originally supposed to be the main character but executives didn’t have faith in a female protagonist, so they switched bayek and Aya around It’s a shame because Aya deserves her own game; but on the other hand, Bayek is very arguably the best character in the series - personally I put him above Ezio
1:20:40 Just to clarify something, Egyptians are not considered Arab they're just Egyptians we have our own identity the only thing we share with Arabs in recent history is just the language
Exactly! The arabian culture is prominent in today's Egypt, but not during the 1st century b.c. The spread of arabian culture and Islam started in the 7th century a.d.
...That might be true on a technicality, but it speaks more to how historically inaccurate Cleopatra depictions are than to the historical accuracy of this one.
@@kvm6 Definitely not. It's incredibly accurate. And the Ptolemy dynasty is based on a mix of ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian culture. Does it make sense. She was very naughty, and that proves her story.
Saying he’s Anglo Saxon is dumb af considering they didn’t exist as a people yet. Bayek isn’t Arab tho. He’s a very good depiction of what pre Greek/Roman and Arab invasions of Egypt looked like. And being from siwa and being a medjay he’d probably have some Sudanese ancestry as well as possibly Canaanite but that’s speculative.
Idk where he got Anglo Saxon or if maybe Meg just read that in if the guy said white? Mentioning Anglo Saxon’s before the Roman’s even left Britain is wild lol

God the score in this game is amazing. Sarah Schachner is a goddess. As for Cleopatra... it's better than previous adaptations.
A reminder, friends: please do not discuss spoilers or give tips in these comments. We want Meg to be able to discover things naturally, whether that's story, mechanics, or history. Thank you!
I can't say how fast I played the game... but I'll say it's the first game I played in New Game + THREE TIMES. Love this game's depiction of Ancient Egypt.
I've noticed that I've stopped so many open world games the past 5 years due to lack of interest, but AC:O was one of the few top 3 games that I completed relatively fast (whilst doing most of the side quests that I was at least aware of). Man, even after 3 years since I finished this game with the DLC of that time (the Hidden ones), it really is such a gorgeous looking and feeling game.
I've taken 170 hours or more, because I took my time and had all the dlc. It was the first game I started playing in the Corona time and I'm an avid gamer now. I do want to replay it soon but I still have to finish Star Wars Jedi and Days Gone.
Man these playthoughs are going to be loooooong! After playing Mirage I really can't go back to the leveling system, xp based progression and rpg stuff, gotta do the side missions to level up just to progress the main story, gotta upgrade the hidden blade and no one shot kills, its just not for me. Just watching these playthroughs make me sad cause I love Origins but I will never go back to playing the rpg games.

Bayek is such a fantastic character, I know everyone always taks about Ezio but for me the fan favourite is Bayek without a doubt.
The most historically accurate depiction of Cleopatra ever.
True, tho the bar wasn't very high. And they had room to be even more so.
Too sexualized imo, but I love it nonetheless.

Is this a Netflix reference?

This game is set during Ptolemaic Egypt, so the Greeks are already here. But other than that, spot on.
@@paperstainedink yes but bayek is a medjay from siwa. Siwa was left relatively untouched to my knowledge.
Bayek has no white ancestors though, he's a full Egyptian and he was born in Siwa. Whoever commented that, is clearly confused. Let's keep it at that.
The word "Neb" is ancient Egyptian means "Master"

“I’m comfortable with unpredictability”
I think the commentor around 1:21:00 got Aya's and Bayek's backstory mixed up, Aya does have Greek heritage, Bayek afaik does not.

I would never ever do that

I didnt say that@@anteletica1148
My first playthrough of Origins took ~161 hours. But then I went out of my way to complete everything.
I can't say how fast I played the game... but I'll say it's the first game I played in New Game + THREE TIMES.
Love this game's depiction of Ancient Egypt.
hey im new to the channel, got here from the halo videos, and im wondering does she have a schedule to post those videos? or a schedule in general?
~1:22:52 "Neb" means "Lord."
Meg asking did you guys finish this quickly made me Laugh because I’ve been playing origins since the unity play through started 😅👍

Meg: I have a crush on Apollodoros
Me: Girl! You have a crush on everyone :v
MEG thank you for removing the beard you read my mind you are ammazing
Bayek with beard > without, but eh, everybody has their tastes ;)
@@TheParezlol, my Bayek is always a bald man with glorious beard cause i wanna make him an Egyptian Kratos... lol
bayek with hair and no beard was also my choice
Hippos are very aggressive animals.

Haha it’s okay! I’ll play them for ya :) can’t wait for Mirage.
I just play on ng+ and there’s no rpg problem
@@jonasjojofalco9896 wish I could say the same for Valhalla, but I am happy Mirage is getting ng+, it desperately needs one.
Yuna and Boomy are so cute
Cleopatra really was something, wasn't she?
Forever wondered why an american city was named after egyptian Memphis
Alot of american cities are named after other places
