Yeah that was spot on for me.

TLDR:

Real thoughts and genuine prayers to Mike and his family.

I got something similar for grinding on the side instead of playing the main plot, along the lines of “If you want to level up much faster, you should play the story missions instead of just killing guards. They have families too you know!”

Yesterday I was standing in a house on a just-liberated cult outpost and started hearing some national-sounding newscast vaguely about a breakdown of civil order, with the national guard being deployed etc, but only caught a few seconds of it before some local yokel spoke over it telling me about a problem he was…

Helix credits can be used across all Ubisoft games

I have too, and I agree overall that AC Origins and other Ubisoft titles give you enough bang for your buck without making the option seem so egregious, but it’s still there nonetheless - and similar offers in certain games from other publishers do feel pretty egregious; SW Battlefront II being the worst offender in…
