Does playing the game on Exploration mode vs Guided make much difference to the overall play time, do you think?
I'm 11 hours in and clearing every location 100% as I go, just as I did with Origins. Absolutely loving it.
I'm also doing this, I'm going to play this one really slow and just enjoy the experience, not setting a goal to finish it, I finish it when I do. The exploring and capturing bandit outposts is just too fun.
The difference between the two seems kind of meaningless? I was expected Exploration to be more sparse but all the icons and Ikaros homing in on objectives is still all the same. The only difference I can tell is that some quests do just give you a small zone you have to run to until your magic eagle can find what you need.
I am so surprised that the male character is a meat head
They're both essentially the same character, to be fair. I think from a design standpoint and for just being someone we don't see very often at the helm of a game Kassandra is the better option but from a writing and characterization standpoint it isn't something like Syndicate where one is more studious and refined and the other wants to headbutt every problem.
Both Alexios and Kassandra love to headbutt every problem.
