In response to the expulsion from the United States of 10 Russian diplomats, a move announced Thursday by US President Joe Biden, along with a new battery of sanctions for "destabilizing" activities, Russia will do the same with another 10 US diplomats. This was announced yesterday by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. At the same time, the US ambassador in Moscow, John Sullivan, has received Lavrov's recommendation to go to Washington for consultations at the White House on the current state of relations between the two countries, a formula that is bilaterally contemplated that it does not mean a full-fledged expulsion for him, since Sullivan retains the possibility of returning later to his embassy in the Russian capital. Last month, when the US president called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "murderer", Russia ordered its ambassador to the US capital, Anatoly Antonov, to return to Moscow, where he still remains, to discuss and analyze at the Ministry. of Foreign Affairs an in-depth review of relations. Sanction against the US attorney general Lavrov also dropped yesterday the possibility of more deportations of personnel from the US Embassy in Moscow so that it is equal in number of employees with the Russian Diplomatic Legation in Washington. He also assured that the Russian government is preparing to sanction eight US officials, including the US attorney general and the director of the FBI, who will not be able to travel to Russia; and various institutions accused of trying to interfere in the "political life" of Russia. The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zajárova, already warned on Thursday that Russia's response would be "forceful", "irreversible" and "reciprocal", although much harsher have been the measures of the United States against Russia adopted by Biden. They have involved, in addition to the expulsion of 10 members of the Russian Embassy, sanctions against 32 entities and individuals and a ban on US financial institutions from acquiring Russian sovereign debt.

Richard Parry-Jones, the engineer responsible more than any other for the driving excellence of 21st-century Fords, has died aged 69. The news has sent shockwaves round an industry where his influence had spread hugely. And where he wasn’t only admired but held in deep affection by everyone who knew him. He was killed in an accident on the farm in Wales where he’d retired. Parry-Jones was a brilliant dynamics engineer, a superb communicator, a motorsports fan and an early advocate for the need for the car industry to reduce CO2. His working life is a demonstration of how one individual really can have an influence over this whole colossal industry. The man known to all as RP-J was a Ford lifer, having joined as an apprentice. His first big hit was as chief engineer of the Mondeo, launched in 1992. This was a huge programme: Ford spent about £5bn (in 1995 money) on the Mondeo and its American equivalents the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique. Previous to that car, Ford’s engineering effort – and it was very well executed - was all about saving money. If in consequence the car’s ride was lumpy and the engine rough and the steering slack, well that was tough luck: they were profitable cars to manufacture and sell. With the Mondeo, Parry-Jones shifted Ford’s course. He reckoned there would be more money to be made by building better cars that would sell in higher numbers at higher prices. He sweated every detail of the engineering in search of improvements in dynamics and refinement. You’d be driving with him and he’d say things like, ‘see, we’ve changed the compliance in the steering rack bushes. The customer can feel it you know’. He was passionate, and a brilliant communicator. It’s a rather awful irony that within weeks of Ford’s announcement that the Mondeo will be no more, we also lose the man that made it. After that Mondeo, he led on the Fiesta, a vast improvement on what went before, and the lovely Puma coupe. Then the 1998 Focus, a radically designed and brilliant-driving hatch, night and day better than the Escort. All spawned wonderful hot versions too. At that point he was promoted to Detroit to head all Ford’s engineering and design worldwide. He admitted to being pretty shocked at some of the US metal he had to deal with. Even the dominant F-150 pickup. He was also in charge of engineering for all the vehicles under the FoMoCo umbrella, including, at the time, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, Mazda, Lincoln and Aston Martin. He returned to the board of Aston recently.

It’s been a year of learning to appreciate what we have. Whether it’s our morning coffee and favourite magazine that make us happy; designer clothes and exotic holidays; or spending time with our friends and family, we have a lot to be happy about. But, if we want more, will getting it make us happy? Or is striving for happiness in itself making us miserable? According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), from April 2019 to March 2020, life satisfaction and happiness in the UK deteriorated. Since, the pandemic has had a negative effect on the country. But what made us unhappy before? Social media? It’s common knowledge that comparing ourselves with strangers (with six-pack abs, dream jobs, mansions, and luxury yachts) is bad for our health. Or adverts, claiming that new clothes, cars, and fragrances will make us happy – suggesting that without them we won’t be? Or getting married and having kids? For generations that seemed to be the answer. But divorce rates are up and people appear to be waiting before starting a family. A year of lockdowns seems to have given many the chance to rethink their lives, and determine what will make them happy – encouraged by life coaches such as The Angry Therapist, John Kim, who encourages us to find ‘our truth’ and illustrator Lainey Molnar who advocates women being happy and fulfilled whether as a wife, mother, career woman, or otherwise. But – all the time that we’re being told how to be happy – if we’re constantly striving to be happy, and chasing after what we think will make us happy, will this endless pursuit eventually make us miserable? Counselling Directory member Dee Johnson believes chasing down perma-happiness isn’t good for us. ‘Being happy all the time is not a natural way to be,’ Dee tells Metro.co.uk. © 2021 Associated Newspapers Limited

Safety regulators warned people with kids and pets Saturday to immediately stop using a treadmill made by Peloton after one child died and nearly 40 others were injured. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said it received reports of children and a pet being pulled, pinned and entrapped under the rear roller of the Tread+ treadmill, leading to fractures, scrapes and the death of one child. The commission posted a video on its YouTube page of a child being pulled under the treadmill. (Warning: this video may be disturbing to some.) New York-based Peloton Interactive Inc said in a news release that the warning was “inaccurate and misleading”. It said there’s no reason to stop using the treadmill as long as children and pets are kept away from it at all times, it is turned off when not in use, and a safety key is removed. But the safety commission said that in at least one episode, a child was pulled under the treadmill while a parent was running on it, suggesting it can be dangerous to children even while a parent is present. If adults want to keep using the treadmill, the commission said, they should use it only in a locked room so children and pets can’t come near it. When not in use, the treadmill should be unplugged and the safety key taken out and hidden away. The commission also said to keep exercise balls and other objects away from it, because those have been pulled under the treadmill, too. Peloton is best known for its stationary bikes, but it introduced the treadmill about three years ago and now calls it the Tread+. It costs more than $4,000. Sales of Peloton equipment have soared during the pandemic as virus-weary people avoid gyms and workout at home instead. The company brought in $1bn in revenue in the last three months of 2020, more than double its revenue from the same period a year before. The commission did not say how many of the Peloton treadmills have been sold. © 2021 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. All rights reserved. (modern)

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – It’s been a busy start to the month for Nebraska Wildlife Rehab. In the first week of April, the nonprofit took in 190 animals, more animals than the entire month of March combined. “It was this like kind of delay in March, and then all of a sudden, a boom when people went outside when the weather got nice and that’s what drove our intake numbers up really fast,” executive director Laura Stastny said. Nebraska Wildlife Rehab is a wildlife rehabilitation organization that serves the entire state of Nebraska and is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and returning wild animals to their natural habitats. Animals at the Omaha-based rehab center are there because they were found harmed or injured in the wild. Stastny says more than 90% of the wildlife the organization receives are hurt as a result of intentional or unintentional human action. Examples include being hit by a car, being shot or being kidnapped. Stastny says Nebraska Wildlife Rehab receives about 7000 animals a year from across the state. The recent mass influx of baby animals can put a strain on the resources the organization has when it comes to taking care of each animal. “When we have that many animals, what we are focused on is making sure that every animal gets the care it needs,” Stastny said. Examples of specific needs for the animals include things like heating pads, baby bottles with specialized nipples, formula, incubators, and dishes. After the recent baby animal boom, the organization took to Facebook, posted an “Urgent Needs” wish list, and asked the community to contribute in any way they can. “We wouldn’t be here without community,” Stastny said. “We are so fortunate to live in a city, in a state where people care about wildlife, and they believe in giving back to their community.” Stastny says community support plays a big role in helping her and her team execute their ultimate mission: To return wild animals back where they belong. “Wildlife belongs in the wild and it’s only because of the support of the community that we have all the resources that we need to take those animals on their behavioral and their nutritional path through rehab, and to get them out into the wild and give them a chance at success,” she said.

A supply crunch for a physically small device — the microchip — has been posing some big challenges for some automakers’ production in recent months, and several Northern Michigan car and truck dealers are noticing its impacts as they seek to line up inventory. “We’re really struggling with it, and I think all dealers are,” said Charlevoix Auto co-owner and general manager Bob Seitz, whose dealership carries the Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands. As USA Today recently reported, a shortage of microchips — which have played an integral role as cars and trucks’ functions have become increasingly computerized in recent decades — has been affecting several markets since mid-2020. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, chip factories began shutting down early last year, particularly overseas, where the majority of the processors are made. By the time they started to reopen, they had a backlog of orders to fill. Stay-at-home orders drove a surge in consumer electronics sales, squeezing auto parts suppliers who use chips for computers that control gas pedals, transmissions and touch screens. Chipmakers compounded the pressure by adjusting production lines to better serve the consumer electronics market, a far larger revenue source for them than autos. After eight weeks of pandemic-induced shutdown in spring 2020, automakers started reopening factories earlier than they had envisioned. But then they were hit with unexpected news: chipmakers weren’t able to flip a switch quickly and make the types of processors needed for cars. Some anticipate the recent disruption of traffic along a key international shipping route — resulting from a large cargo vessel becoming stuck for several days in the Suez Canal — could further complicate the flow of microchip supplies. For auto companies, responses to the shortages have included shift cancellations, temporary factory closures and assembly of some models without installation of certain processors, with those units typically set aside for retrofitting once the needed chips are available. The production hits came at a time when dealerships such as Charlevoix Auto — which opened last year at a former location of the Fox Motors chain — were seeing rising demand for cars and trucks. Seitz said the flow of new vehicles to his lot from Stellantis — a company created through the recent merger of automakers Groupe PSA and Fiat-Chrysler, parent of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands — hasn’t shown significant disruptions. However, selections of Chevrolet products — particularly for the trucks and full-size SUVS which are traditionally strong sellers at the Charlevoix dealership — have been sparser than usual as of late. At one point in early April, Seitz said the dealership had two new full-size Chevrolet trucks in stock, compared to the dozen or more which likely would be on hand amid typical industry production. Some automotive observers also have reported signs that the microchip shortage’s impacts also are carrying over to the used car market, as some consumers seek out alternatives to new models in short supply. With demand for previously owned vehicles strong at Charlevoix Auto, “it has been very tough acquiring inventory,” Seitz said. With used vehicles commanding high prices at auctions recently, Seitz said the dealership has been working to obtain units from local sellers. In one respect, he said the supply situation has been helpful in moving slower-selling inventory along, and added car buyers have tended to be aware of the issues facing the industry and willing to adapt from preferred color and option choices. “Customers have been super flexible,” he said. At Subaru By-The-Bay in Bay Shore, owner Ryan Bremmeyr said signs of the supply-chain challenges facing the auto industry are becoming somewhat more visible as spring settles in. The dealership had an extensive selection of new Subarus available through the first two months of 2021, Bremmeyr said in early April. The choices available to customers have since started to taper off, amid a recent record sales pace for Subrau By-The-Bay and signs of production slowdowns. Looking toward mid-year, Bremmeyr said his understanding is that Subaru will prioritize available microchip supplies for use in models such as the Outback and Forester in the weeks and months ahead, which should help the dealership in maintaining selections of these po[CENSORED]r lines. For customers seeking lower-volume models, it may not as easy to find one’s first choice of color or trim level. “If you’re looking for something a little bit different, it’s going to be a little harder to come by,” Bremmeyr said. Bill Marsh Jr., a partner in the Bill Marsh Auto Group — which operates a Ford outlet in Gaylord as well as dealerships carrying multiple brands in Traverse City and Kalkaska — said the biggest impacts of the industry parts shortage for his business have tended to involve inventories of po[CENSORED]r truck models such as Ford’s F-150 and Ranger. “It’s not like we have no product,” he said. “We’re just constrained.” Of the various manufacturers which his dealerships represent, Marsh said Ford inventories seem to have tightened the most amid the trend, followed by those for GM products and to lesser extents, Stellantis and Hyundai. Marsh said the dealership group is fortunate to have a strong supply chain for used vehicles — including many obtained via trade-in — and said the recent market trends offer a bright spot for drivers looking to swap for a different vehicle. “People’s trades are worth more than they would be in a normal time,” he said. At Fletch’s GMC Buick Audi in Petoskey, general sales manager James Skop said the industry’s supply-chain challenges also are showing differing impacts for the lines that dealership carries. Stocks of GMC full-size trucks and SUVs — which make heavy use of the processors in short supply — have been relatively tight and quick to turn over as of late, Skop said, adding that he’s heard indications that General Motors will be dialing back on production of some other GMC models to prioritize available parts for use in highly profitable lines such as these. For Fletch’s, inventory impacts for Buick — whose lineup of SUVs is mostly assembled overseas, and tends to involve longer shipping times to dealerships than some other GM products — and the Audi brand have been less noticeable, Skop said. For vehicles with limited selections, Skop said trading of units between dealers is one method which can sometimes help secure a desired spec for a customer. He added that ordering a vehicle with preferred attributes is another option available, and added that some customers have commonly shown a willingness to adapt to available choices on the lot. “I think a lot of people are aware of the situations,” he said.

The US Department of Justice has sued Roger Stone, saying the close ally of former president Donald Trump owes about $2m in unpaid federal income taxes, according to a court document. The civil lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida on Friday, alleged that Stone and his wife, Nydia, used a commercial entity to “shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle despite owing nearly $2m in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties”. Stone did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Stone, 68, is a long-time Republican political operative, known for his high-end wardrobe, outspoken comments and tattoo on his back of former president Richard Nixon. The self-styled “dirty trickster” faced fresh scrutiny after the attack on the US Capitol for his links with far-right groups, though he was not part of the insurrection. Stone advised Trump when the wealthy real estate developer toyed with running for president in 2000 and briefly worked on Trump’s successful 2016 campaign. He was indicted by Robert Mueller, the former special counsel tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller’s investigation, which Trump called a “witch hunt”, led to criminal charges against dozens of people, including Trump associates such as political strategist Paul Manafort and former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. A federal jury in Washington convicted Stone on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. At trial, prosecutors said Stone told five different lies to lawmakers on the US House intelligence committee about his contacts with the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks. Trump granted Stone a presidential pardon in December, wiping away the criminal conviction. Trump had previously commuted Stone’s sentence, which was condemned by Robert Mueller, allowing him to avoid a prison sentence.

The Canadian military training mission in Ukraine has been temporarily suspended after a major outbreak of coronavirus among the troops, the Department of National Defence confirmed late Friday. A spokesperson for the military's joint operational command refused to disclose how many soldiers have tested positive. "Normal security forces capacity building activities have been temporarily reduced or suspended in training locations as a force protection measure for members of the Task Force and in order to stop the spread of the virus," said Capt. Alexia Croizer, who speaks for the Ottawa-based Canadian Joint Operations Command. "Members who tested positive are being monitored in isolation and close contacts have been placed in quarantine." The Globe and Mail was the first to report on the outbreak and noted the spread of the virus prevented a recent change-of-command ceremony between outgoing and incoming commanders. There are about 200 Canadian troops assigned to the training mission. They are scattered at various locations in central and western Ukraine, with the bulk of the contingent headquartered at Yavoriv near the Polish border. While the defence department will not say how many Canadian troops in Ukraine have been hit by COVID-19, it does acknowledge that there are 86 active cases across the entire Armed Forces. That number was current as of April 12. Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been 1,396 cases of coronavirus reported among Canadian military members. Ukraine is experiencing a surge in COVID infections. On Thursday, 16,553 new cases were reported in the eastern European country. The deteriorating pandemic situation in the country comes at a time of heightened tension with Russia, which has stationed as many as 110,000 troops along Ukrainian border under the guise of military exercises. Earlier this year, Canadian soldiers serving as part of the NATO deterrence mission in Latvia experienced an outbreak of COVID-19. In that case, the defence department also refused to say how many soldiers had been infected. Military moves to vaccinate overseas troops The latest cases in Ukraine have put the spotlight on the Canadian military's plan to vaccinate troops and the priority given to members deployed overseas. The defence department will be allocated enough vaccine for 115,000 members. Troops deployed overseas are lower on the priority list. The first shots will be going to "members working or preparing to work in higher risk clinical settings to assist provinces and territories to protect vulnerable Canadians, such as Long Term Care Facilities or those who have health conditions that place them at increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection," said department spokeswoman Jessica Lamirande. "While not all members deployed or posted overseas have received their vaccine yet, efforts are well underway to ensure we have a coordinated and resourced plan in place, to reach each and every deployed and posted member." Members of the military deployed overseas can only receive Health Canada-approved vaccines. Lamirande said that, in some cases, the defence department "has coordinated with, and authorized, some Host Nation and coalition medical authorities to vaccinate CAF members with Health Canada-approved vaccines from their own national allocations." She did not identify the countries, nor did she indicate how many shots may have been administered to Canadian personnel. How quickly the military can get all overseas troops vaccinated is not clear. "Numbers and timelines are fluid at the moment as it will depend largely on the vaccine availability in other countries, as well as progress made on the vaccination programs both in Canada and in host nations," said Lamirande.

This dog’s bite was worse than her bark -- at least for the man allegedly trying to rob her owner. Amy Edmondson, 30, from Southend-on-Sea, U.K., was heading home from a walk with her dog, Star, last week around 11:30 p.m., when a couple approached her and asked for directions, Edmondson told SWNS. When she turned to show them where to go, the man attacked her, Edmondson told the news agency. The man reportedly jumped on her back, pushed her to the ground and held a knife to her throat. WORLD’S LONGEST RABBIT STOLEN FROM FORMER PLAYBOY MODEL: POLICE "They kept saying give me your money, where’s your money, we need your money," The Basildon Canvey Southend Echo. She told SWNS she was on the ground "for what felt like forever." "I just kept thinking, I'm going to die, there's no way to get this bloke off me," Edmondson told The Echo. She also worried about what was going to happen to her 9-year-old son Riley. "All I was thinking was that my son was going to grow up without a mum [sic] and my dog was going to be without me," she told the newspaper. Edmondson, 30, thought she was going to die before Star bit the mugger on the leg and refused to let go. Thankfully, Star was there to step in. "Then I let go of my dog’s lead and she just jumped on him and started biting his leg," Edmondson said. "Star is my little lifesaver," Edmondson said. "Without her I wouldn’t be here." "She wouldn't let go," Edmondson added, per SWNS. "The woman ran off at that point, and the bloke was saying, 'Get this f---ing dog off me'." When Edmondson told him to get off her so she could get Star, he ran away too, Edmondson said. Edmondson said that she didn’t really expect Star, a pit bull mix, to attack her mugger -- but she was so grateful Star did. "It was actually really out of character for her - she's the most loving little dog usually, she would lick anyone to death," Edmondson told SWNS. "Star is my little lifesaver," she added. "Without her I wouldn’t be here. She’s the most loving dog you will meet. I have never seen her like that but it just shows she was protecting me."

Before the turn of the decade, if you were interested in a fully electric SUV, your options were minimal. Now, with more legacy automakers making the switch, the market has broadened significantly. Today, you can walk out of a dealership with an electric SUV for less than $40,000! If you are financially savvy or a marketer, the price could plummet to less than $30,000 if you factor in local and state tax credits. The list of available and soon-to-be-available electric SUVs is expanding, so let's dive into which models you can buy right now and which ones will be available soon and even in the farther off future. For up-to-date specs, including price, range, power, 0-60 MPH times and so much more, check out our comprehensive Compare EVs guide here. 2021 Electric SUVs These electric SUVs are either available already or will be very soon (before the end of the 2021 calendar year). There are quite a few options, including Teslas, a Ford, an Audi, a Volkswagen and more. Remember, all pricing, range and release date mentions apply to the U.S. market only. Let's see what's available in the electric SUV category for 2021. 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Despite much controversy (mainly surrounding its borrowed Mustang name), the Ford Mustang Mach-e proves itself as one of the best new Ford SUVs. Unlike other Ford models, the Mach-e has a near-completely bespoke interior, making it feel much more different from your typical Ford. Even in the "Select" model, the overall interior quality is quite impressive aside from the plasticky dash inlays. Its performance is solid, but its zero to sixty times are usually slower in real-world use than Ford's magnanimous estimates. Release Date: Available now Pricing: Starting from $42,895 Electric Range: 211 to 300 miles Base Power: 266 HP Tax Credit: Up to $7,500 2021 Audi e-tron The 2021 Audi e-tron hit the market strong, featuring improved range and lower pricing than the previous model year. The e-tron features a conservatively designed exterior complementing a pleasantly laid-out interior composed of high-quality materials. The e-tron is very pleasant to drive with more than quick acceleration and air suspension as standard in every model. There is an e-tron S set to release in the near future that will pack a more considerable punch with a tri-motor setup. Release Date: Available now Pricing: $65,900 / $69,100 Electric Range: 222 miles Base Power:355 horsepower (402 in Boost Mode) Tax Credit: Available $7,500 federal tax credit

With the emergence of the Chia cryptocurrency, miners in China are frantically snatching up every piece of hard drive and SSD. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, you don't mine Chia with a processor, graphics card or ASIC miner. Instead, you farm Chia with storage space, which is where hard drives or SSDs come in. Unlike Bitcoin, which is based on proof of work, Chia utilizes a proof of space and time model. Chia reportedly arrives as an eco-friendly cryptocurrency. Bram Cohen, who's best known as the inventor of BitTorrent, created Chia to leverage the free space on storage devices. The basis behind Chia is that hard drives and SSDs use less power, are easier to come by and cheaper to purchase. By comparison, mining Ethereum or Bitcoin on a mass scale contributes to the electricity waste. According to HKEPC's report, miners are mass purchasing hard drives that span from 4TB to 18TB in capacity. The panic buying will ultimately lead to a hard drive shortage and price hikes. In Hong Kong, hard drive and SSD pricing is expected to increase between 200 HKD to $600 HKD (~$26 to $77). Due to the constant read and write operations, consumer SSDs aren't the first choice for farming Chia. Nothing is safe from miners though when a profit is there to be made though. Jiahe Jinwei, one of the big domestic manufacturers in China, told media outlet MyDrivers that the company's Gloway and Asgard high-performance 1TB and 2TB NVMe M.2 SSDs are all sold out. The manufacturer plans to put restrictions in place to stop miners from buying enormous amounts of consumer SSDs. Subsequently, the company will also increase production to meet the demand. Apparently, Jiahe Jinwei is even developing a specialized SSD for mining operations. Farming on a consumer SSD is viable, but the more serious miners will likely look to the enterprise side. Endurance is just as important as capacity and performance, and enterprise or data center SSDs typically meet these three criterias. Chia isn't officially available for trading yet, therefore, it's too early to start hoarding hard drives or SSDs. Many cryptocurrencies come and go so it'll be interesting to see how Chia pans out. A few years ago, no one took Bitcoin seriously, and today it's worth over $62,000.

Since the start, each mainline Assassin's Creed game has typically grown in size and superseded that of the previous title, with the three games in the prequel trilogy--Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla--dwarfing all the others (with the exception of Black Flag, which continues to have one of the largest maps in the franchise to date). And though I've enjoyed my long journeys across the deserts of Ptolemaic Egypt, war-torn island communities of ancient Greece, and fields of Anglo-Saxon England, I think it's time that Ubisoft created a smaller setting for Assassin's Creed. A smaller setting could condense the overall experience of Assassin's Creed, which would ensure certain storylines can be better realized and that players can more easily experience the best that the game has to offer. To Better Serve The Story Now it's worth pointing out that I don't think a big map is inherently a bad thing. Though I still have my qualms with the pacing of Odyssey's story (especially Chapter 5, which can seriously drag), there's such a sense of joy in riding your horse to the top of a hill, looking out at the glistening ocean, noticing a tiny speck of another island in the far distance, and knowing that you can set sail for it and reach it without encountering a single loading screen. Odyssey wants you to explore because your character, Kassandra, wants to explore after being cooped up on the same island for most of her life. Now Playing: The Hidden History Of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Of the three games in the prequel trilogy, Odyssey has managed to take advantage of its staggeringly large map size the best, utilizing a fully realized Greece to deliver on the promise of sending the player on an odyssey to reunite their biological family, only to discover that family is what you make of it--blood does not have to define it. That's the map acting in service to its story; Kassandra's tale is an adventure, with some awesome side stories scattered around the vast map. There are encounters such as meeting Daphnae at the very start of the game and learning about the Daughters of Artemis, an all-women community that involves you in a a side-quest that continues until you nearly reach the endgame level cap, as well as running into and falling in love with Kyra over the course of the phenomenal nine-part Silver Islands questline. It all helps sell why Kassandra would regularly deviate from her path--which, in theory, should have been rather linear--and stretch her journey over the course of years. It's a lifelong odyssey to discover the meaning of family, which is reflected in the giant setting that is filled to the brim with many families to meet; some are dysfunctional, others are loving, but they all shape Kassandra through the decisions you make for her, ultimately resulting in one of several possible families she can bring together by the end of the campaign. You can't really say the same for Origins and Valhalla, both of which possess stories that suffer a bit from the large settings they take place in. Origins is the story of a cop and his wife and how their quest for revenge twisted their actions so that they protected those in power and didn't serve the people. The map is large and filled with many side quests and activities but rarely do they have much to do with the fact that you're aiding Cleopatra in seizing control away from others to benefit her. Most quests actually see you aid the people, which goes against the overall story that Origins is trying to tell--only a few storylines support how Bayek and Aya are in the wrong for most of the game. But they're drowned out; the setting is so big that it has to be filled with things to do in order to avoid having a large, empty map.
