Finally its done - all 38s completed.
After 18 hours of gameplay (well I think it doesn't count the re-tries), the game completed just 52%.
AC3 is pending - so I don't think I would be going for 100% though I wanted to.

(btw, this is the first FPS I have completed in my xbox. All other games I played are third persons & racing only. :P)
 
OK I'm really enjoying this game. A couple of questions though; a.) How do you craft larger pouches to stock more inventory? b.) When do the side missions start popping up?
 
a. Hunt the respective animals (mentioned in the crafting options) and skin them. Once you have collected the required amount of leather, craft the pouch.

b. Randomly but most do when you explore the map. The maps indicate most artifacts and hidden objects as well.

But the side missions are different then those 'Wanted' missions, yes?

There are several types of side-missions, one of these is the 'Wanted' class, others are --
  • Hunting specific types of animals with specific weaponry -- Path of the Hunter quest
  • Kill a Pirate leader with a Knife -- Wanted Dead quest
  • Village / Area specific small quest based side-quests
  • Letters of the Dead
  • Lost Expeditions (game specific)
  • Hurk's Monkey Business pack
  • Trials of the Rakyat

Plus I liked 'Capturing the Outposts'.

Those are quests you have to do. If you don't capture strongholds you are screwed.

Errrm capturing outposts aren't exactly mandatory for the most part. There are some to be done as a part of the mission campaign. For the rest, you are free to just roam around, collect whatever you need and scoot without being noticed.

I'll be honest here - a vast majority of these side missions became boring and monotonous after a while and I quickly brushed through the main story. :P

Side missions start popping up after you liberate outposts. Looking at your avatar, I think you would really enjoy the stealth way to do so. Enjoy the extra 1000xp for stealth. :P And you need to do hunting quests for the extended(final) versions of pouches or else you won't get the special skin required for those. The normal ones can be unlocked at any moment by hunting at relevant locations.

True but stealth taking a complete outpost was fun and satisfying.
 
I managed to spend almost an entire day upgrading all my weapons, gathering animal hide to boost up my inventory capacity, captured outposts and activated 9/18 Towers. I lost track of time while doing all these activities, heck I even forgot to do the mains mission. The only thing I'm not touching is 'Trials of Rakyat' which I find really boring. Is there a way to increase the number of attachments on your guns?
 
:(

I mainly wanted it for my sniper. Currently I have Sound Suppressor and High Power Scope attached. I had purchased Extended Magazine, but realized, the attachments were capped at 2. Not a big deal I guess.
 
All side missions and Trials of the Hunter missions are now completed. *phew*

Just arrived on the South side of the Island and instantly went shopping for the new weapons which were unlocked. Bought the Z93 Sniper Rifle and fused it with a Suppressor and High Power Scope. This baby does an immense amount of damage compared to the M-700 I had before. Also bought the MKG Light machine gun & can't wait to try it out. I have around 10 more main missions remaining. I think I'll now spend the time on capturing all the outposts in this area, since I dominated every outpost in the North side. :ohyeah:
 
Climb them Towers they should unlock the Guns, Signature guns and make them free.

Love the chain takedowns, death from above/below, dual death from above/below.
 
There are more weapon's waiting to be unlocked? Damn, I thought this was it. Great game, looks terrific even in high. What engine does it run on?
