Things Toby says while playing Ghost of Tsushima

[telophase]

Mongols just standing there minding their business, then I came in and fucked up their Christmas...hey, that rhymes!

(sees red enemy outline around dogs) Are you going to make me kill dogs? Dammit. I’m going to try to kill everyone but dogs. (Did he? Did he? I’ll let you speculate on that!)

(Fighting a Mongol boss) I don’t speak douchbag, sorry.

Sorry about the mess! Most of that was the Mongols!

(grabbing supplies and steel from peasants before riding out of town.) Grabbing supplies! These are, um, Mongol supplies!

(an enemy starts shooting at him while he’s fighting another) No! No arrow shit!

Has Toby bowed at a Shinto shrine's 'this would be a good place to bow' sign yet? It took me a while to figure out how to do that, and when I did it summoned frogs.

No, I don't believe he has!

I've found at least one non-shrine place that has a 'bow here pls' sign posted. When I bowed there it made fish erupt all over a nearby patch of river for a few seconds. So there may be other critters that respond to the sign too... I just happened to first encounter the sign on my way to a shrine that had a lot of frog statues and figured I'd better bow to the frog god, and I got frogs in return.

I do not think the shrine was to the frog god or frog kami or frog spirit, it just happened to have some local 'respect the frogs' aspect.

We found the crab one!

Also, the best thing in the world is to stumble across a Mongol camp where they have a bear in a cage and unlock the cage. Then run.

You get flying Mongols a few seconds later. It's great.

The one time I saw him do it, he snuck into the camp, released the bear and...the bear snuffled around behind the cage and refused to go after any Mongols, so he just killed it and took its hide. XD
