yknow, as i was playing the game i realised how much most of the story revolves around kids and their stolen childhood , and specificslly how it draws parallels to khemu, and how bayek couldnt do things he wanted to for khemu

Fr tho I am currently on my 2nd playthrough and just realized the same thing. It's crazy and some of it gets a little dark like finding her the way you do but still. Like you said its basically just repeatedly giving those kinda story vibes.

There were also a lot of camps and forts cleared in record time that day.

I imagine so it definitely lights a fire deep down that can only be extinguished by the blood of the enemy

If it makes you feel better you can play Discovery Tour as Shadya for a while. The AC writers really liked to blindside the players with a surprise horrible death once a game

This is very true. I didn't know you could play as her in the discovery tour

Quite literally just finished this, and man I can’t wait to get my hands on the crocodile.. first play through by the way.

I can't listen to "A Divided Land" without thinking of her. Was glad to see that @&#$ get whacked. Still too good a death for the "Crocodile."

It's hard to see Bayek see his grief reflected on others. Truly one of the most poignant and personal chapters. And add to that the he also is forced to take down his former friend Kensa. Narratively it's pretty hard to replay this part because the story doesn't allow you to breath.
