I will never not get chills whenever i see the eagle skull become the assassins creed logo 😭

[@oneshak]

Personally, Origins had the best written story in the franchise by far. Both Bayek and Aya's individual character developments is both touching and emotional. And that ending was perfect, everything about it. Ubisoft missed the perfect chance of doing a sequel for Aya as the main character in Rome.

[@sumedhk4148]

Do you remember underneath the Auditore villa in monteriggioni, there were several statues of assassins, whose white disks ezio had to find to unlock the armor, Aya/Amunet was one of the assassins statue in that place, so cool of it to come full circle. this is why I love assassins creed so much. It is literally my entire childhood, teenagehood to adulthood.

[@Krovos_]

You should play the Hidden Ones DLC since it acts as the final epilogue for Bayek and Aya's story.

[@LT.DUKALIS]

100%

[@qwertyno100]

absolutely. it should have been part of the main game

[@Menno0183]

This ending is probably among my favorites in the series, every cutscene from the moment when Bayek and Aya talked for the last time on the beach till the moment where Bayek is reading Amunet’s letter is so good! The moment where Aya picks up the eagle skull and shows the AC logo in the sand always gives me chills!

[@residentfan1521]

Meg learning about Amunet in AC Brotherhood: why don’t I play as her in Origins? Legitimately when you said that during your Brotherhood playthrough I laughed

[@ricardokaka2286]

Caesar’s assassination is made more tragic by the fact he was killed by people he showed mercy to. Brutus was personally pardoned by Caesar himself.

[@timslade5808]

58:28 when Ezio's family starts playing I got chills when playing this the first time

[@TheNorthlander]

Amunet is born, and Origins ties itself all the way back to the story of Ezio finding the statues raised in the honor of the ancient Pre-Assassins that inspired by the modern Brotherhood. Epic ending.

[@Boringspy]

Bayek deserved a statue too 😢

[@rydn_x]

Thing is that’s weird and is never talked about is how she has two tombs tho the one whereLayla is at and the other one in Italy

[@erratic_badger]

​@@rydn_x pretty sure the tombs in AC2 are just symbolic and a convenient resting spot for the villa sanctuary keys. It wouldn't really make much sense for the legendary assassins from across the ancient world to have their bodies moved to those obscure locations in Italy. Although, never saw this confirmed!

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

​​@@erratic_badgerI mean the actual reason is this was simply a retcon. Origins was absolutely never planned all the way back then, so it's honestly goofy to pretend like it was all part of the plan. They found a way to fit the piece in and connect back to the original Assassin we saw, even though it wasn't planned that way from the beginning. The other tomb was the actual tomb, until this game retconned and updated that. The secret society of Assassins were implied to have kept the remains of these legendary and ancient assassins out of respect and honor.

[@Arthur_url]

Origins' ending is one of my favorite in the series, fr. Aya being revealed as Amunet gives me chills every time!

[@domiiinik4320]

Rome is eternal mainly because of Ceasar, he is easily the best known ruler of Rome

[@beefi411]

Caesars paved the way for the birth of the empire. He was worshiped as a god after his death. Every Roman ruler gives himself the name Caesar. His name became a title of roman rulers. In nearly every language a translated version of Cesar is the title of a ruler. It`s like his name has become a general term for someone who ruled an empire. But yeah, Julius Cesar has absolutely nothing to do with Eternal Rome.

[@themooseisloose94]

Origins is an amazing story and I'm so happy we got to experience it with you. This AC journey has been incredible. I hope you play the Hidden Ones DLC, since it's a continuation of sorts, before you dive into Odyssey.

[@TheNorthlander]

Fun fact, at this point in history the "arena" in Cyrene would still be a Greek theatre and in the shape of a semi-circle. It only became a Roman Ampitheatre and used for Gladiotorial combat around the Second Century AD. In the game's Discovery Tour, they explained they ignored this in favor of allowing the player to do arena matches. A fair reason, as it's my favorite activity in the game lol.

[@MegMage]

That's awesome! I'm excited for the Discovery Tour!!

[@GKshamman]

Wow, what an episode it was crazy, there was a lot of emotion from start to finish I was so happy it's true that I had forgotten that there was William❤️😍 and at the same time , when you killed your last target with Bayek and when we saw KHEMU for the last time and it was him who did it with the pen, it was so moving ❤️ and Aya was incredible too, especially with the music of Ezio Family made me want to cry, it was so good. So I can't wait for you to do the DLC, I've never seen it in my life, even tested it because I played the original Assassin's Creed once when it came out and after that I plan to do them on video so for the moment, well, I'm not doing anything and then I can't wait for you to do Odyssey. Honestly, it's so good. The characters are very endearing as an origin, there are lots of emotions, lots of happiness, lots of adventures, it’s crazy stuff❤️😍

[@rydn_x]

The way Caesar died was how he died stabbed 23 times

[@TheNissandd]

the eagle skull maaaaaan i still remember how that shocked me. origins is just goooooold

[@waleedrauf1672]

Such a great game loved your playthrough of it 💜 I know you will prolly finish the DLC's first but i just can't wait for Kassandra... she's my fav protagonist in the series(after Ezio ofc) 😅

[@Livingston_Seagull]

I know people say play the hidden one dlc but I‘d also REALLY recommend the pharaohs curse. Best DLC of any AC game imo

[@osamabinlaggin3281]

I mean in the end Caesar won.

[@rogertemple7193]

I'm here for the ending of AC Origins and Thank You for playing it Meg. 🎵🎶🎼👋👋🎼🎶🎵

[@DogAndEazy]

This is definitely one of my favourites; loved seeing the Origins of the Brotherhood, as bittersweet as it was, very moving story, with great characters (and great music :D )

[@adz3291]

The lead up to the foundation of the Hidden Ones was done so well

[@shiykyk7538]

So happy you got to enjoy this amazing game and hope we get another game close to its level again 😍🔥🔥🔥

[@mayankachatterjee7359]

Well. There is a controversy regarding amunet's tomb. In AC 2 you recovered the disc from here sarcofagus in venice. We already know that she established the brotherhood in rome. But here it has been shown that her mummy was there with that of bayek in the cave in siwa, where they used to meet as teenagers.

[@jahkeemfrater3551]

Love the ac videos of you

[@brandom5007]

THE HIDDEN ONES DLC IS SO WORTH IT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!

[@thelionshonor]

Funfact: Aya is one of the statues in ac2 where the armor of Altair is. She is the Egyptian one with the snake in her arms

[@davidsanches9714]

This is one of the best parts of Assassin's Creed!

[@oshenone6947]

"A new creed, ours is finished!" Tears...

[@jacquelinemiles358]

Oh god...Ezio's Family Origins Version just gives me chills so bad. That whole scene gives me chills!!

[@MEPFful]

12:25 Haytham’s speech to Connor right before letting him stab him in the neck

[@MalikBarrow16]

Et Tu, Brute? Was from a play and not said in real life fyi. Also, too bad the efforts of Assassins in this game meant nothing, since Caesar's nephew went on to found a line of Emperors that lasted hundreds of years after this.

[@paperstainedink]

But he is believed to have said “and you, my child?” which is what he said in game to Brutus

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Meg hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@hunterios9826]

Odyssey playthrough is gonna be funnn

[@christopherrios5749]

You should read the Oliver story it connects back to black flag but also another game in the Ubisoft universe

[@PirocossaurRexus.]

Origins and Unity are my favorite Assassin's Creed Games 💚

[@darkvortex2410]

Hey Meg, I've been loving to watch you play the Assassins Creed series. Been watching since i discovered your Witcher 3 playthrough. Something you've got to check out is this video by Riftley. It's called "Assassin's Creed | A Legacy of Generations [ALL THEMES COMBINED]. You don't have to worry about spoilers, they just use clips from the the trailers.

[@Gamer_ever85]

I know I just finished the main story and I love the ending as well. “Nothing is True.Everything is Permitted.”

[@averongodoffire8098]

Hey Meg, I wanted to offer my words on the grief you mentioned before, I hope it helps bring light to how to face grief/longing in history The way we study the past while feeling some amounts of grief is by remembering that nothing ends, the legacy the Egyptians and Greeks had in their time were understood for their time, conversions, invasions and prospering times were theirs and they changed when time came for them to. The choice was theirs and not ours, the “loss” however felt is something we have in our own lives, and as we change and criticize parts of our own lives Egyptians criticized and changed theirs It’s good to respect the past, but it’s also important we never forget our own present and how valuable it will be as the futures history

[@MegMage]

Thank you ❤❤

[@willc2377]

Aww Memories where the creed started

[@Guaseth]

"You'll answer for my son's death, Roman." "No, I'm not Roman, I'm Flavius"

[@MegMage]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Jettayu101]

At some point, you should listen to some of the mashups of all the iterations of Ezio's Family/AC main themes. They sound so amazing when put together into a single piece.

[@residentfan1521]

1:07:14 he was probably spying on Abstergo and overheard them talking about Layla.

[@zem7127]

Caesar was killed on March 15, my birthday

[@user-jz8ow3xv8t]

As much as I love this game making ceser villain did not sit right with me, but it was so cool to see assassin origins

[@beefi411]

Exactly, it fits not at all and makes no sense.

[@user-gp3xf7jp9n]

1:31:38 yes that's what ezio used to say! 1:36:00 ezio theme

[@zarif_chow]

1:33:34 you almost sounded like the "Oh no no no laugh" meme

[@gandalfhan]

Would love to see Origins sequel where you can seamlessly transition between Aya and Bayek for their own respective missions as well as shared ones in Ancient Rome.

[@DreamHalo61]

Meg did you remember what you say when you see amunet in AC brotherhood :)

[@MegMage]

No, I'll have to react to my own video haha!!

[@MaoriMufasa]

I have my complaints, my issues & shortcomings with Origins... And while I understand and completely get criticism it (often deservibly) gets, that doesn't stop me from it being my favourite in the franchise.

[@Agony9877]

Then Soon Kassandra :)

[@paperstainedink]

do you think you'll hunt for more tombs/vaults for those Isu recordings?

[@MegMage]

Ohh yes! And also the constellations for Khemu :')

[@KRATOS12787]

❤❤❤❤

[@user-um2yd5vq3m]

Aya kill cleo later aya is amunet right and in ezio assassins tomb in amunet(aya) statue it said that amunet kill cleopatra with a venenous snake

[@lexiwatsonshethey1407]

I'm so happy for you that you got to experience this wonderful story, Byak and aya (amunet) are possibly the best video game characters ever written. Can't wait for your reaction to oddyissy. Hope you enjoy the rest of the AC saga :) I'm glad I could finally catch up with your videos, I've recently moved and have only just got WiFi back

[@MegMage]

Congrats on moving! I know it's stressful so I'm proud of ya!

[@lexiwatsonshethey1407]

@MegMage Thanks, Meg.

[@sm4carnageihope]

There's something poetic about you uploading this part on Altair's birthday... which is also mine.

[@MegMage]

Happy birthday to you and the OG! 🎁🎁🎁

[@sm4carnageihope]

@MegMage Thank you, Meg. It's honestly an honour to share it with him. Keep up the good work.

[@was_b4]

I love this ending, but i do have one problem with it, and its that Caesar's speech was actually the opposite of what is stated in game (which still doesnt justify his actions), but still, it was a amazing ending and prob my favorite in the entire series

[@beefi411]

The complete Roman Empire was the opposite of what she imagines.

[@Dany2001bro]

57:14 your welcome

[@sarahmiless]

I can't believe Ceasar pulled a Mariah there at the end !! He was so arrogant and self centered that he doesn't see Aya no matter how many times he meets her because she was just a woman to him. Interesting to ponder what Cleopatra meant to him

[@pharaohmedjaylawofmedjay2680]

❤❤❤😊😊

[@tiffanywithers9298]

Meg....are you surprised

[@supermichael9857]

Could you take a listen to “Ezio’s Family” the AC Origins version?

[@paperstainedink]

She already has

[@Rohaann490]

People who hate flavius septimius and caesar

Ah Origins. Ngl, not the biggest fan specially looking back on it the type of game is just not for me, but it had some really good parts. Bayek and Aya are both amazing.

[@benschultz1784]

Et tu, Brute?

[@WeebleFox]

still no Halo 3 😔

[@Enrique_RB]

Please... don't spoil her about ac origins and (blip blip blip) creed, who already played You know very well what i'm talking about

[@residentfan1521]

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t actually know what your referring to

[@Enrique_RB]

@@residentfan1521 oddysey

[@paperstainedink]

It's such a fantastic ending, I truly do love it

[@slothkng]

You were suppose to play the game as HER but the old head of the company did't think it would sell as well

[@elementfortune7851]

It's time for the best character. Lets go Kassandra! x3

[@mhosni86]

It is a fact that racism was always a big factor in the colonial projects in this region. Colonialists always saw us as backward people and that we don't deserve our own resources. Anyone who denies this fact is just in a bubble of his own making. Just like the idea that "Aliens built the pyramids", which may seem amusing and harmless (It's not), but it also originated from racism (From some people thinking that the people of Egypt are so primitive it's not conceivable to accept that they did something so advanced and durable, so they had to look for other reasons why this thing exists).

[@guyinabox9850]

Unfortunately I doubt they make an amunet game. Cuz the higher up are a bit of a sexist and never will make a huge female protag game. If they are they must have a male protag for the poster and everything. To them female don't sell well

[@waleedrauf1672]

i think Hexe will have a major female protag given that its about the witch hunts and stuff

[@funkybro6859]

It's time that Meg is gonna play AC Odyssey? It's amazing! AC Odyssey is my best AC!I look forward to it.

[@JonathanCarlosGamerOfficial]

38:00 was awesome! Really cool boss fight. ☺️🫣

[@PimWO]

Looking forward to the dlc!!
