Only a brief one at the start (so far), where you lay down on a couch while a colleague send you back in time, via a high-tech Illuminati thingie. This is when you chose the sex of your character, basically.
Oh, another thing that they've done pretty well is that everyone is working and walking around on elaborate waypoint schedules. All the grind stones and the huge jars for olive oil and amphorae for wine, and the vineyards, it's all so very neat! And you can climb up on nearly everything and jump around, a bit like Dishonored, I guess, but here you get to bump into people. And while you're riding, you can actually do it roughshod and trample people to death, if you are so inclined. There are plenty of "evil" options in the dialogues and quests. Watch out, though, 'cause when you're running, you may accidentally push people into some brazier or ember tripod, and then they catch fire and die.

These are the questions that keep me up at night?
Btw is everyone in Greece a tanned ball of grease like the game portrays? Cause the Greeks I know are lighter...still greasy though.
