Here’s something to think about (I hope): Do you think Jacob would have enjoyed India? Would India even be prepared for Jacob and Evie Frye? I think the Indian Brotherhood would have very surprised at first to see Evie and how outgoing she was for an Englishwoman, when you think about how most of the English women they might have seen up until then were all genteel.

Good questions. I think Jacob did enjoy India, but can’t see himself living there. He probably doesn’t handle culture shock very well in my opinion (there’s no evidence to back that up, obviously). The two were born and raised in a fairly small town that went to one of the largest cities in the UK on the whim after all. I’m not saying that Evie didn’t experience such thing though, but she had Henry and more time to adjust to a vastly different country. However, considering the period the game takes place in, I’m sure India would’ve been wary of her, an Englishwoman, settling in their country with an Indian fiancé (which sadly, is sometimes still the case even today, but let’s not get into that).

However, I doubt the Indian Brotherhood would feel the same because if Jacob and Evie truly are the “Unstoppable Frye Twins”, their success in eliminating the Templar strongholds in London would have reached all the Assassins around the world. I’m sure the Indian Brotherhood would be more like, “ HOLY SHIT. IT’S DAME EVIE FRYE!!1!1!” It’s also implied that they welcomed Henry back into the Brotherhood when he returned.

Who do you think would win in a drinking match: Edward or Jacob? Does Arno stand a chance against either of them? What sort of drunks would they be — who would be the one bawling their eyes out over the smallest thing, who would be the one starting a bar fight, who would be the one who’d pass out over the bar counter, fast asleep?

Arno will start talking about how great company he is in when he suddenly bursts into tears, to which Jacob will wreak havoc in the pub demanding who’s responsible for hurting his friend’s feelings. Meanwhile, Edward have peacefully blacked out, believing he’s the victor of the match.

RE: Something to think about — If you could travel to any of the times/settings of the AC games, which would you choose? :) Which setting/time period would you want to just visit, and which would you want to actually live in?

Is travelling to all of the above an option? Hahaha

The Golden Age of Piracy era in AC4 would be my first go-to. I love the idea of being able to sail around the Caribbean and visit each island without the hassle of travel documents (yes I’m aware that’s not true historically. You don’t need them in the game :P). Only problems with that are that I have no sailing skills or have the stomach for rum or booze of any kind. It’s probably worth getting started on either of them, lol.

Syndicate’s Victorian London era would be the place I would like to live in because I actually see myself living in it. Jeffrey Yohalem (the lead writer of Syndicate) mentioned in the Assassin’s Den podcast something like Syndicate was written with an idea closer to today’s society (as in the 21st century society) as oppose to the 19th century because we all know people of color, people with certain “beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities” were treated very poorly (poorer than now at least), and nobody wants to see that, hence why you see a lot of female gang members, and you don’t really hear remarks about Henry’s skin color, someone chewing Evie out for not acting like a “proper lady” or questioning Ned Wynert’s gender (at least not blatantly out loud gameplay wise).

Which is why I said Syndicate’s Victorian London and not just Victorian London. It’s not a perfect society, but it seems like a tolerable setting to live in. And Joining the Rooks sounds like fun. (:

I want to see my favourite characters (Eric, Harlan & Arend) in the main game series so bad for other people to find them and love them too- but I’m also terrified of the idea of them getting killed off or falling into shitty negative lgbt tropes and I just. I can’t wait until 2017 for the next game to see what the modern day is I just Cannot. I am far too impatient for this.

If Galina was popular enough to be briefly introduced in Syndicate, it’s more than likely that the three of them will appear in the near future, especially Harlan and Arend since they were introduced “vocally” in Rogue. (:

The Abstergo handbook says that Connor’s wife and kids leave him shortly before he dies. I don’t believe a lick of it, /especially/ since Abstergo printed it out. I suspect Connor had to send his family away in order to keep them safe, and he had no choice and didn’t want to leave them (and vice versa). Safe from what, I’ve got no idea. But the ac wiki mentions the Davenport Homestead mysteriously disappears from records in the early 1800s. What do you think?

My assumption was that Connor sent his family away and burned down the Davenport Homestead so the Templars wouldn’t be able to harm his family or find the amulet. He probably died from a Templar or something when he heard rumors that his people were still alive and not far from where he was.

completely unrelated to AC, but you asked for random things to think about! So here’s something awesome that happened today for me! Winterguard International SE Regionals was today, and on the drop of a hat I decided to go and it was amazing. I got to see a ton of winterguards I’ve only heard of before; litteral living legends. And they were amazing. I saw my own guard perform, and while they were good (seems obligatory I think that) everyone else was just so awesome.

That sounds awesome! I always thought winterguard seemed like an awesome sport, and wanted to try it. But my high school didn’t have one for a while due to lack of members/coach. ):

Idk, I guess I don’t really have any evidence to back it up, but I have a headcanon that Shay is scared of storms. Like, really scared. Like, a storm killed his dad and a few of his (dad’s) crew members when they were at sea, so that’s gotta leave a mark. And Shay’s a captain now, so like, he’s always on watch for that sortta thing. I lost my train of thought, but yeah lmao that’s it

Losing a father and the crew seems like a pretty good reason for him to be afraid of storms in my opinion. I’m sure his ship logs are 90% about the weather and avoids sailing on days with a slight chance of bad weather.
