This is my FIRST AC game and I hope you have as much fun as I did! Make sure to LIKE, and subscribe if you're new! :) It really helps out a lot! Trying to get to 30k by the end of 2024! You rock! I've been loving Black Flag, so I'd love to go back and play more AC games!
While Black Flag is awesome and could really use a remake/remaster, if you want to play more AC games, I'd recommend Odyssey next. That one is set in ancient Greece and your ship plays a big part of it. The newer AC games are more RPG like and I like the combat mechanics more.
When I first played this game I had just turned 17, and it was my fifth year of back-to-back Assassin's Creed yearly releases. It didn't hit me until just now watching this video when you asked if we enjoyed these little moments - when the whale jumped out of the water - just how much of it I took for granted. Seeing you react to this game for the first time has rekindled my appreciation for something that was a big part of my youth, so I thought I should thank you for that. Cheers! P.S. Bird.
51:20 · Toledo, Ohio was named after Toledo, Spain. And the Spanish Toledo was, at one point in time, famed for producing fine swords. The phrase 'Toledo steel' was used in the same way we now use 'German engineering', or 'Swiss watches'.
Not entirely sure you figured it out or not, but any ledge where birds fly off, you can jump off. There's always a hay bale or whatever that will break your fall as well as hide you at the bottom.
There was a genuinely good present day story for the first 5 AC games with Desmond Miles (AC1, AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations & AC3), but yeah they kind of dropped the ball with AC4 present day and every game since then. Good thing the rest of the game is great! 😂 @@LizXP
Edward Kenway is designed after his voice actor Matt Ryan. They’re both Welsh too! Matt Ryan is also famous for playing the rogue-ish & chaotic bisexual sorcerer John Constantine in all the DC Comics TV shows and animated movies.
@@LizXP Any time! I’m literally typing this from the Swansea area in Wales where Edward Kenway was born, so the game as an extra special place in my heart beyond just being incredibly fun to play! 🤗 Oh btw, for future reference, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate has a playable female assassin and some really cool gothic and steampunk outfits that have very similar vibe to Serana in Skyrim 😁
omg!! Hell yeah!! I love AC Black Flag, just did an LP a couple months ago including the DLC add on (which is well worth playing too) Have a fun time!!! This is going to be great!!!
The thing about the Assassin's Creed games is most of them you can play in any order since most of the games has a different story, although there's the Ezio collection which is best to play from the beginning (Assassin's Creed 2) because the Ezio collection is based around the same Assassin. I hope this helps, but don't worry about having to play the games from the very beginning & work yourself way up.
@LizXP Your welcome, Liz. I really hope you have fun playing the Assassin's Creed games and if you want to play another game after Black Flag that picks your interest. Go & play it or any other games in any order you want.
But in future games there are references to the other games so you can play in any order but there might say or show things people that played the older games would know but those who haven’t won’t understand
YES! I am totally stoked to see you play AC! Your play-thrus are always great but I knows that you're so into pirates (anyone watching your RDR2 gaming... Arthur's tri-corn hat ftw). LET'S GO MATEY! ARR!
I have a special spot in my heart for this game. While I barely have time to play games anymore due to a busy work life, it's really great to join you in your journey as I get to visit some of my favorite memories from my days in uni while playing this game.
One really useful tip, use the eagle vision during the tailing missions and it'll highlight the people you have to track, the people marked yellow will stay highlighted even through walls so if they speed away it'll help keep sight so you don't have to restart the mission, gives you a little more leeway as there are a few of these type of missions.
In this game, it is very easy to forget that you are an Assassin. Been playing this since January, and had too much fun sailing the seas and being a pirate that I forgot about the main mission. Nice job getting that pickpocket on your first try! I think I had to chase that guy about halfway across that city before I caught him on my 10th attempt.
Welcome to the world of Assassin's Creed my first AC was the original and so on so on ive been enjoying the AC games my favorite games is AC Black Flag, AC 2, AC 3 and AC Origins
@@LizXP heres the funny thing I haven't played the new AC game that came out last year and its sitting there collecting dust 🤣 I got to play the game till AC Shadow come 🤣😂🤣😂
@@LizXP Glad to hear that. If you do…please do not skip AC1…no matter what the people say…it’s important if one wants to experience the story and understand the lore of the Assassins Creed
I am so glad you chose this one for your first AC game I started the serie with this as well. And I have to tell you for me this one and the Odessey become the favourites. I hope you will love Black Flag.
@@shanewhitman4312 considering only about 5% of black flag is being an actual assassin for the narrative I can confidently say ign have no fucking clue what they're talking about
Just a couple things. Trying SO had to not give spoilers. Keep an eye out for birds. The bird symbols on the map are waypoints & activating them (aside from being an iconic part of AC games) reveals areas of the map for you. I typically activate as many of them as I can first when in a new area. Also spots where birds are perched will usually be a place you can perform a leep of faith from. Note that you are a pirate AND an assassin. While you can choose to fight you way through it is often "better" to be sneaky. Related to that it is often helpful to think of your character as Spiderman but the trick is recognizing what you can & can not climb. It will become more clear as you progress but the real "story" of AC games occurs outside the animus & is the part which ties all the games together. Each game in the series is a more or less "standalone" in terms of what occurs within the animus. And last, don't worry too much about finding everything as you progress the story. Most places can be returned to (or replayed within the animus) and you can try to get anything/everthing then.
I definitely get better at sneaking in the next episode and figure out those map locations too! I'm having so much fun and can't wait to play more today!
Favorite AC is Odyssey. I played as both characters. I never before chose a female character but playing the female Cassandra was very enjoyable. Black Flag is fantastic.
@@LizXPI sure did!! If you didn’t know already there’s an Assassins Creed movie too! Don’t worry there’s no spoilers to any of the games, it has its own story!
black flag is also my favorite because you only have to deal with the Abstergo stuff the fewest amount of times. The face you made was exactly how i felt when i learned that was apart of these games, i just wanna do the fun stuff!
@@t.j.reynosa5747 Yeah, "purists" of the franchise always rag on Kassandra and Eivor for not being assassin protagonists, but they'll often give Kenway and Bayek a pass. Whenever I point out the fact that neither were an assassin they usually stammer on with the but...but...and can really make no argument for ranking them so high as assassins in the franchise, other than they can't admit it's just because they liked those two games. Silly stuff. They are games and really shouldn't be scrutinized that heavily. There are people out there who dedicate their entire channels to all things AC and usually are just whining and bitching about super small details or perceived inconsistencies between some of the games. I almost feel sorry for them...almost.
Definitely a fun game, glad to see you're enjoying it! And of course play whichever game interests you the most! I'm hyped for it! I hope you revisit the franchise soon and play a more traditional AC game, like AC2 and see what Ezio's story is about! He's got a whole trilogy. But time will tell!
Pretty awesome series. I’ve played all of them but 2 (Valhalla & Mirage) so I have some experience with these games. 🤣 My favorite is either 2, Brotherhood, Black Flag or Origins. All great. I started with the series all the way back to the first one in 2007 so I’ve been here since the very beginning and obvi when I got 2 for Christmas in 2009, that was a game changer for me. Enjoy!
So happy to see that I'm not the only one who played Black Flag first! An amazing introduction to the AC series, even if some elements of the story might seem confusing to begin with. It doesn't matter though, the Jackdaw gameplay is worth the price of admission alone. I'd also recommend playing Rogue, since sailing the Morrigan around will satisfy any craving you have for more of the same!
Dayum, Pirate Liz is looking pretty good lol. If they ever make a movie or show based on this one, Charlie Hunam is like, the perfect choice for Edward.
Awesome you are playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag this is really cool and I've got my morning coffee ready for pirate action on the ocean and you look wonderful in your cosplay as an awesome pirate with your one dog crew of beautiful Xena have a really awesome Saturday today thank you as always my friends Captain Liz and 1st Mate Xena.🐾🛥️🦮🛥️🐾
👽 Assassins Creed Odyssey is the best one out there. You absolutely muuuuust play it. Sooo much mythology and historically accurate information. Plus you can climb all over ancient realistic Greek buildings 😌
Hey Liz! Your cosplay looks amazing, and i love your personality. You're so kind and chill, and I'm so glad you're playing Black Flag 🫂 Please keeping playing! I'm an 100% down to watch this series
Dude imo this is the greatest ac game ever, you’re gonna see that the writing, voice acting, character progression of Edward is perfectly done. Hope you have just as great of a time as I did playing ❤
Aaarrrr matey, hoist those sails! Gonna have to watch later, my YT is acting up and not one video is loading but wanted to come comment anyways. Yo ho ho it's a pirates life for Liz!
I was going to say something about starting a series with season 4 but then I remembered that my first AC was Odyssey 🤦 So... um, eNJoy this... um standalone game 😅. This one is a fan favorite. I replayed it and Freedom Cry recently. But Ezio and Desmond and *Connor" even Haytham are such well made characters. I just hope someday you'll get to know them and love them like I did.
@31:04 can't get distracted? Does she realize she is playing an AC game? So then Capt. Liz is it? Ok we need to get you a ship, a hook for a hand and a club for a foot, a 🐦 to sit on your shoulder, and a patch for your eye. So sing me a shanty your the pirate man. Let's see if Liz can finally understand the importance of stealth or will she die many, Many times 😅😅😅 Have fun with this game Capt Kenway
This is the best assassins creed game!!!! I was sooooooo excited when they did the pirate setting and it worked so well.and yes play all of the games they’re so good
Yes!! I've been waiting for this, it's gonna be great following you through it. And it's actually good that you start with this one, if you want to continue I highly recommend AC3 since it takes place after AC Black flag, the story is amazing and I think you would enjoy it, it's one of my favorites! Welcome to the assassin's creed family, by the way you look great in that pirate outfit! 😃😃
@@LizXP No you should play older one's before ac 3, its terrible suggestion, you should play all of them in order (Black flag is fine) ac1, ac2, brotherhood, revelation, ac3 - Rogue, Unity - you can play syndicate whenever you want, Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, don't bother with mirage and thats it, normaly this is the best way to play it
Just a tavern talk hint, when a guard is alerted, taking cover will most times let the threat indicator drop to yellow and then disappear. This is for the most part not a run and gun game. It rewards stealth and caution a lot
This is my favorite AC game of all time and literally the only ubisoft game that I've played through 4 different times. I almost never do that with games that I've finished once. This game is my childhood and it's characters and story is literally so dear to me. I'm so glad that you'll get to experience it for the first time. Please take in the story and the characters as much as you can and go on Edward's amazing journey with him. And by the end you'll surely understand why this game specifically is so dear to me and so many others. It's a shame ubisoft has not managed to make a game even close to this for almost 10 years now...
Oh my gosh Liz, I'm SO excited for this playthrough. In the later AC games like Odyssey and Valhalla you have your own bird like an eagle or raven to help you survey the landscape and find things.🐧💖
I'm so happy, I've never played AC before either but this one seemed really good to me personally, so getting to watch you play thru it is even better! :)
Main reason I love this game is cause the voice actor also plays DC’s Constantine in multiple things & he’s amazing! Love Matt Ryan’s voice & happy your diving into AC it’s a fun journey, I like this one the most, then Unity is my 2nd fav & then Valhalla
AC:Black Flag 💕 🏴☠️One of my ultimate favorites ! Without question, the Assassin's Creed face-lift .. the game-changing experience, which changed the franchise for the absolute best!!
Fun to see you playing this classic game. Few tips in future play. You can also get down from high places by controlled climbing down, no need to drop down. When storm hits on open sea and you get warning about big waves. Sail straight towards them to escape ship damage. Unfortunately you have to take part on killing animals from whales to lesser critters, but they are digital. But do not get after whales and big sharks until you have fully upgraded your whaling boat.
Magical word is Bird 😇 super excited that you are enjoying the 1st Assassin's Creed game, you started with a great one matey ! leaving a comment & like for algorithm and also watched the whole thing, so it will pop for more people who enjoy AC games see you in the next adventure Cap'n !!!
lmao yeah I forgot you hadn't played the first 5 games. Luckily the 'modern' cut scene stuff isn't too long, maybe 10% of the game, other 90% is sailing the ocean and looting. Funny too see the reaction from someone new.
Great to see you got away from all the zombies. Not sure Ann Bonney, a famous woman pirate, would have worn an off the shoulder top (but you look nice in it).
I've played every AC except Mirage and finished all I've played except Valhalla, and this is my favorite AC. This is actually the game that hooked me into gaming properly and my first AC. Apart from AC1 this is the only AC where I've never used fast travel during the first playthrough and every time I play it I use it very rarely
This was my first Assassin's Creed game my wife got it for me as an anniversary gift I still play it for fun and right now I'm trying to 100% it lol 🏴☠️🍻
Yay! I haven't been this excited about your channel since your stellar work on skyrim. Two tips: those black, kind-of 'x' shapes up high on buildings and terrain are worth checking out. And at this point you have only two friends in the game; the lovable, bumbling Stede is second bestie. Your best bestie is an inventory full of smoke bombs. Be safe, be well kiddo!
So far u are the 1st to do an Assassins Creed reaction. I've looked and nothing. Hope u play as Altaire then Ezio and the rest of the games. U will love Evie Frye in Syndicate.
I always thought Edward looked like Heath Ledger! Even from a bird's-eye view, he makes for a good pirate. Great choice to start with btw! One of my favorites, for sure 😃
It was so awesome seeing this first episode with Chelsea! We loved it hehe. Though I agree with many when I say the modern aspects really do take you out of the moment. Otherwise amazing episode Liz! BIRD
I love these blind playthroughs. Your reactions to consequences makes me laugh as I am blind watching too. I knew Skyrim so it wasn't the same, but this is new and you always do so well.. Lully Li'l LizXP.

I really don't know why they keep bothering with those modern day segments after AC3. Nobody cares about it and it just distracts from the fun stuff.

LizXP, great video keep it up
Appreciate it! Thank you!
AC games are so fun!
Love all of them.
I can't wait to play more of the AC games after this one!
Finally you're playing Black Flag I knew it, Lets go
Yay!!
Awesome you are playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag this is really cool and I've got my morning coffee ready for pirate action on the ocean and you look wonderful in your cosplay as an awesome pirate with your one dog crew of beautiful Xena have a really awesome Saturday today thank you as always my friends Captain Liz and
1st Mate Xena.🐾🛥️🦮🛥️🐾
👽 Assassins Creed Odyssey is the best one out there. You absolutely muuuuust play it. Sooo much mythology and historically accurate information. Plus you can climb all over ancient realistic Greek buildings 😌
Plus you can do pirate missions and take over the seas 🌊 ☠️ 🏴☠️ 🦜
You would absolutely loooove sailing around ancient greece, visiting beaches ⛱️ treasure hunting in a completely open world 🌎 🇬🇷
Sounds amazing! I would love to try it out!
Hey Liz! Your cosplay looks amazing, and i love your personality. You're so kind and chill, and I'm so glad you're playing Black Flag 🫂 Please keeping playing! I'm an 100% down to watch this series
Thank you so much! I always love a reason to get dressed up! I'll definitely be continuing! :)
Dude imo this is the greatest ac game ever, you’re gonna see that the writing, voice acting, character progression of Edward is perfectly done. Hope you have just as great of a time as I did playing ❤
Aaarrrr matey, hoist those sails! Gonna have to watch later, my YT is acting up and not one video is loading but wanted to come comment anyways. Yo ho ho it's a pirates life for Liz!
No worries Gemini!! I hope you're having a great day!!
My all time favorite RUclips is back with another episode ! Assassins Creed black flag is my all time favorite out of all of them . Love the bandanna
Thank you so much Tony!! It's been so fun so far!
@@LizXP your gonna love it! To me, it’s waaay better than Skull and Bones
I was going to say something about starting a series with season 4 but then I remembered that my first AC was Odyssey 🤦 So... um, eNJoy this... um standalone game 😅. This one is a fan favorite. I replayed it and Freedom Cry recently. But Ezio and Desmond and *Connor" even Haytham are such well made characters. I just hope someday you'll get to know them and love them like I did.
Havent watched anything of your content since Skyrim, happy you are still active playing games :)
@31:04 can't get distracted? Does she realize she is playing an AC game?
So then Capt. Liz is it? Ok we need to get you a ship, a hook for a hand and a club for a foot, a 🐦 to sit on your shoulder, and a patch for your eye.
So sing me a shanty your the pirate man.
Let's see if Liz can finally understand the importance of stealth or will she die many, Many times 😅😅😅
Have fun with this game Capt Kenway
Hehe exactly Rob! I will definitely try my best to stealth it up! I love diving into the hay stacks too!
Assassin Creed is well-known for its lively town, teamed with tons of NPC's. Marvelous! 👏👏👏
I have bought a few Assassin's Creed games about a year ago. Still haven't played them
Black Flag has been so fun so far!
Keira Knightley has nothing on you @@LizXP
Ezio trilogy, 3, 4, rogue and Odyssey are amazing
This is the best assassins creed game!!!! I was sooooooo excited when they did the pirate setting and it worked so well.and yes play all of the games they’re so good
I loved this game so much! I can't wait to play more AC now!
Yes!! I've been waiting for this, it's gonna be great following you through it. And it's actually good that you start with this one, if you want to continue I highly recommend AC3 since it takes place after AC Black flag, the story is amazing and I think you would enjoy it, it's one of my favorites! Welcome to the assassin's creed family, by the way you look great in that pirate outfit! 😃😃
Thank you!! I can't wait to play more AC games now!
@@LizXP No you should play older one's before ac 3, its terrible suggestion, you should play all of them in order (Black flag is fine) ac1, ac2, brotherhood, revelation, ac3 - Rogue, Unity - you can play syndicate whenever you want, Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, don't bother with mirage and thats it, normaly this is the best way to play it
Have so many good memories of this game, genuinely the best pirate game out there :) Looking forward to watching this series
Secret Word: Bird 🐦
Thank you Josh! I can't wait to play more today!
Just a tavern talk hint, when a guard is alerted, taking cover will most times let the threat indicator drop to yellow and then disappear. This is for the most part not a run and gun game. It rewards stealth and caution a lot
This is my favorite AC game of all time and literally the only ubisoft game that I've played through 4 different times. I almost never do that with games that I've finished once. This game is my childhood and it's characters and story is literally so dear to me. I'm so glad that you'll get to experience it for the first time. Please take in the story and the characters as much as you can and go on Edward's amazing journey with him. And by the end you'll surely understand why this game specifically is so dear to me and so many others. It's a shame ubisoft has not managed to make a game even close to this for almost 10 years now...
Thank you so much for sharing that with me :) I'm loving it so much so far! I'm always so excited every time I get to play more!
Oh my gosh Liz, I'm SO excited for this playthrough. In the later AC games like Odyssey and Valhalla you have your own bird like an eagle or raven to help you survey the landscape and find things.🐧💖
Thank you so much! I've been having so much fun!
Love this game.
Story wise this is on the lower end of the series, but on the fun factor it is number 1!
I'm so excited to keep playing! After this one, I'd love to play more AC games for sure!
I'm so happy, I've never played AC before either but this one seemed really good to me personally, so getting to watch you play thru it is even better! :)
That makes me happy too!! Thank you!
Great to see you play this, it’s the best pirate game I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to watching it. Can’t wait for the Liz show on the high seas.
Thank you so much Scarlet!!
Main reason I love this game is cause the voice actor also plays DC’s Constantine in multiple things & he’s amazing! Love Matt Ryan’s voice & happy your diving into AC it’s a fun journey, I like this one the most, then Unity is my 2nd fav & then Valhalla
The voice acting is awesome!! I'm loving this game so much!
Great video, liz, Bird 🐦 🐦⬛
Loved this game, looking forward to seeing your playthrough
Thank you so much Robbie!! I had a blast!
AC:Black Flag 💕 🏴☠️One of my ultimate favorites ! Without question, the Assassin's Creed face-lift .. the game-changing experience, which changed the franchise for the absolute best!!
It's been so amazing so far!!
playing ac rogue rnow while watching u play 4 🏴☠️⚔️
Let's goooo!! :)
Fun to see you playing this classic game. Few tips in future play. You can also get down from high places by controlled climbing down, no need to drop down.
When storm hits on open sea and you get warning about big waves. Sail straight towards them to escape ship damage.
Unfortunately you have to take part on killing animals from whales to lesser critters, but they are digital. But do not get after whales and big sharks until you have fully upgraded your whaling boat.
Thank you for the tips and I'm glad you enjoyed this first episode!!
this is my fav last game they made before then RPG style with health bars and such they added to new gen AC's games
Magical word is Bird 😇
super excited that you are enjoying the 1st Assassin's Creed game, you started with a great one matey !
leaving a comment & like for algorithm and also watched the whole thing, so it will pop for more people who enjoy AC games
see you in the next adventure Cap'n !!!
LETSSS GOOOOOO!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!
Yay!! It's already been so awesome!!
The start reminded me of guarma, especially with the birds
Thank you! I agree!
lmao yeah I forgot you hadn't played the first 5 games. Luckily the 'modern' cut scene stuff isn't too long, maybe 10% of the game, other 90% is sailing the ocean and looting. Funny too see the reaction from someone new.
I can’t wait for more videos and I love your pirate cosplay
Thank you so much!
Great to see you got away from all the zombies. Not sure Ann Bonney, a famous woman pirate, would have worn an off the shoulder top (but you look nice in it).
Right? So many zombies haha Thank you!
OMG this game is sooo good!
It's been amazing so far!
Blackbeard has chills and nightmares when see the pirate Liz.
Loved that Blackbeard scene! I'm ready to be the best pirate around ;)
the pirate cosplay is great, hope you enjoy this game, its my personal favorite of all the ones ive played.
alright instant must watch!!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it!!
Interact with The black bird symbol unlocks and reveals map, for faster travel to the destination, you can also save your game
So awesome!!!
Let's goooo!
Pirate Liz! i tried to get into AC before and I couldn't but now i might give it another chance! Great video Liz!
Yay fatpanda!!Thank you so much! I'm LOVING this game!
I've played 4 Assassin's Creed games. Black Flag is my undoubted favourite
It's been amazing so far!
I've played every AC except Mirage and finished all I've played except Valhalla, and this is my favorite AC. This is actually the game that hooked me into gaming properly and my first AC. Apart from AC1 this is the only AC where I've never used fast travel during the first playthrough and every time I play it I use it very rarely
That's so awesome! I'm loving it so much so far!
Love that you play the gem of a game , dont it completely from start 4 times .
Just love this game as a hole i say topp 3 of em all hands down.
It's so amazing so far! I'm loving it!!
This was my first Assassin's Creed game my wife got it for me as an anniversary gift I still play it for fun and right now I'm trying to 100% it lol 🏴☠️🍻
This is awesome!!
This one is by far my favorite one and the very best of the franchise
I've been loving it so much already!!
Yay! I haven't been this excited about your channel since your stellar work on skyrim. Two tips: those black, kind-of 'x' shapes up high on buildings and terrain are worth checking out. And at this point you have only two friends in the game; the lovable, bumbling Stede is second bestie. Your best bestie is an inventory full of smoke bombs. Be safe, be well kiddo!
Thank you! I figure out all the map stuff in the next episode thankfully!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Thank you Chad!! Let's do this!!
🔥 🤘 This was a fun game. Gotta listen to some pirate metal. Haha. 🐦
Oooh that sounds epic! I'd love to listen to that!
@@LizXP Alestorm. Swashbuckle. The Dread Crew of Oddwood. Rumahoy. Storm Seeker.
So far u are the 1st to do an Assassins Creed reaction. I've looked and nothing. Hope u play as Altaire then Ezio and the rest of the games. U will love Evie Frye in Syndicate.
You're in for an exciting adventure with this one. Best AC game out of all of them.
Thank you so much! It's been so fun already!
I always thought Edward looked like Heath Ledger! Even from a bird's-eye view, he makes for a good pirate. Great choice to start with btw! One of my favorites, for sure 😃
Right?? Heath was amazing! Thank you so much for commenting! :)
It's always beautiful seeing someone playing AC4 for the first time and enjoy the cute sea turtles. 🐢❤
I'm LOVING it so far! Thank you for being here!
AC Was a great game series, I have not played black flag but I hear it is one of the best
I'm loving this one so far!
It was so awesome seeing this first episode with Chelsea! We loved it hehe. Though I agree with many when I say the modern aspects really do take you out of the moment. Otherwise amazing episode Liz! BIRD
Yay you two are the best! Thank you so much Marc AND Chelsea :)
My first AC game I ever played. In my opinion, the best in the series.
As an Assassins Creed fan I must say every single game they make is uniquely beautiful.
I can't wait to play the others after this one! I'm having so much fun!
I love these blind playthroughs. Your reactions to consequences makes me laugh as I am blind watching too. I knew Skyrim so it wasn't the same, but this is new and you always do so well.. Lully Li'l LizXP.
Thank you so much! It's so fun to experience a game without knowing anything about it, except pirates!
Throwing coins is good for throwing off pursuits as people get in the soldiers way
