It usually starts out as focus on the story and side quests that interest me; from there, maybe I focus on filling out the map or tracking down secrets.

We always imagined that someone as epic as Arthur who comes to an end in a way that was equally as epic.

In the 19 th century, tuberculosis was one of the main reasons for fatality as no cure had been developed yet. So while it’s realistic for Arthur’s fate to end this way, it’s definitely unexpec
