      I got the Bioshock Collection (never played), Fallout 4 (have played), and The Outer Worlds (never played) for my birthday, which of these should I install first?

      I will not be doing thoughtful analysis of whatever I play. I will be shooting people in the face. Maybe after a hundred hours I'll do thoughtful analysis but right now I'm just kinda feeling shooty and stabby

      Ok wait. I like RPGs and FPS. I tend to fucking hate puzzles and look up the answers on the internet. Here is the poll again, revise your answer as necessary.

      Anyway I'm going back to Ass Creed Origins while y'all figure this out. It's set in Ptolemaic Egypt. Fun fact: more time had passed between the building of the pyramids at Giza and Ass Creed Origins's setting b than between that setting and us.

      People who say it's set in "Ancient Egypt" get right up my nose. It is NOT. It is set in Ptolemaic Egypt - long after Alexander the Great, when Egypt was ruled by the Greek children of Alexander's companion and historian, Ptolemy I Soter.

      Origins is set ~300 years after that, in the time of Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopater, who was briefly succeeded by his sister/wife, Cleopatra VII.

      Origins also takes place almost 500 years AFTER Odyssey. Unfortunately they both use the same VERY EXTREMELY INCORRECT models for the cows. Bos indicus hadn't made it to Greece or Egypt at this time. The cattle were all the Bos taurus familiar to westerners.

      One of the things that weirds me out is how there are no chariots in Odyssey.

      Chariot combat wasn’t really a thing in Ancient Greece, not very practical with their mountainous geography. It’s more of a motif in epics, a high status vehicle, or for use in games. Though I suppose it’s odd there wasn’t a chariot race during the Olympics section.
