Just how accurate and detailed is the placement of the hyroglifics in this game ?
Hello community.

Ive come here from Assassins Creed Odyssey which i stopped playing afew months ago after about 200 hours in the game and was very, very impressed.

Mmmmm.....so now where do i go, i just cant quite decide between Syndicate and Origins (Its been doing my head in for about two months!)

I was just looking at a you tube vid of the Eygiption "Temple of hathor" and was blown away by the detail of the hyroglifics there. This is the place that has the drawings on the wall that look like a huge light bulb.

Does anyone know if Assassins Creed Origins has this site in the game with all of the detailed hyroglifics that are on the walls inside this temple, along with the light bulb thing too.

I searched on you tube vids of the game at this location but none of them show any detail as can be seen inside the real site today.

I would really appreciate knowing this, if it does and its detailed and accurate it would really help me make me make my mind up about which of the two games i would get, and i would buy this one now !!!!!

Thankyou!!!


(Sorry for going on but i wanted to expain its important that the detail of the hyroglifics are accurate not just at this site but others too in the game)

(Oh yea, an accurate answer to my question would be REALLY appreciated before the sale finishes !😃)


Here is a vid of "the light bulb" if anyone has seen it in game, that would be great!!!!

Inside some have "challenge tombs" and use the time period (being the last egyptian era) to make chambers and things that aren't accurate.

Old kingdom would have been from 2686–2613 B.C. when pyramids were first build. The game takes place in 49-43 B.C. and much of the old kingdom has been lost.

If you're interested there's walkthroughs on youtube showing off some insides.

There's also in game footage and references from real world counterparts.

So... I can sorta answer this to the best of my knowledge having fully completed the entire map and getting the achievements for doing every location called "Old Habits."

The accuracy of the day to day, and the accuracy of places are rebuilt from Egyptologists from Universities and Institutions like the British Museum. You can see part of it in the Wikipedia page. The section that says "Discovery Tour."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_Origins#Discovery_Tour

This game had several articles asking "How Accurate is Egypt in this game."

A lot of egypt and it's history has been lost to the sands of time and the game is recreated from numerous texts of descriptions (romantic descriptions and factual descriptions) Documents, Parchments, and "pictures."

Unfortunately, This is a game. While accuracy may be good and close. That's all it is, close accuracy. Games need textures and other "visual layers" that will be reused quite a bit. There are reused rooms, reused tomb text, reused hieroglyphic walls with copy pasted "wallpaper."

Moreover, The story of assassin's creed origins as with a lot of the others have "supernatural" and "otherworldly" added extras to tie into the entire series, which borrows lower chambers in some tombs and completely turns them into a different "place" to help move along the Assassins Creed story arc.

I wanted to give you no spoilers, so some stuff is really hard to describe without going into spoiler territory.

Thanks for this reply....I appreciate not everthing everywhere is going to be 100% accurate and i understand that there would have to be some cut and pasting in places due to the sheer size of the world.
The main thing for me like i said is at the main sites are the placement of the hyroglifs accurate in those places.
Also could you tell me if you get to go inside the pyramids and see them propperly inside showing the kings chamber and the main hallway that leads up to there.

Thanks.
