“Windy Old Weather” from Assassin’s Creed Rogue

As we were a-fishing off Happisburgh light
Shooting and hauling and trawling all night,
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

When up jumped a herring, the queen of the sea
Says ‘Old skipper, you cannot catch me’
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

We sighted a Thresher-a-slashin’ his tail,
‘Time now Old Skipper to hoist up your sail.’
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

And up jumps a Slipsole as strong as a horse,
Says now, “Old Skipper you’re miles off course’
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

Then along comes plaice-who’s got spots on his side,
Says ‘Not much longer-these seas you can ride.’

In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

Then up rears a conger-as long as a mile,
‘Winds coming east’ly’-he says with a smile.
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

I think what these fishes are sayin’ is right,
We’ll haul up our gear now an’ steer for the light.
In the windy old weather, stormy old weather
When the wind blows we all pull together

Note: Portion of this sea shanty can be heard when going harpooning.

Guest I: Good evening, Gonfaloniere.
Uberto: To you as well. I trust you’re enjoying yourselves?
Guest I: Indeed! A nice distraction from that nasty business with the Auditore family.
Uberto: And to think I once thought of Giovanni as a brother…
Guest I: Don’t blame yourself! How could you have known what evils he planned?
Guest II: I say we strike that traitor’s name from the record books. Let history forget he ever even existed.
Uberto: Hmmm. Yes, I should look into that.
If you’ll excuse me for a moment…

(I forgot that civilians take 6 years to walk from one place to another…)

Beatrice: Uberto! A moment of your time?
Uberto: Anything for you, Beatrice.
Beatrice: (Snort laughs) So! Tell us! How does it feel to be a hero?
Uberto: Please, I am no such thing. As Gonfaloniere it is my duty to ensure that the city of Firenze remains a shining beacon of justice. Corruption and its ilk shall find no purchase here so long as I am in control.
Beatrice: You are a treasure, Uberto! I hope Lorenzo recognizes that!
Uberto: Yes… our great leader, Lorenzo. I’ll see you ladies later.

(3 years later…)

Guest III: Ah, Uberto! There you are. I was just telling the other about the execution…
Guest IV: I mean no offense, but… what if they did not act alone?
Uberto: You can rest easy, friends. I am confident that this treachery began and ended with the Auditore family.
Guest V: What of the other son? Ezio, was it?
Uberto: The child poses no danger. Soft hands and an even softer head. He’ll be caught and executed before the week is out.
Guest III: Don’t let us keep you, Uberto. We just wanted to say hello.

(Yet they start bolting the moment Ezio starts speedwalking…)

Guest VI: Evening to you, Gonfaloniere.
Uberto: Is everything to your satisfaction?
Guest VI: Do you even need to ask? Of course!
Guest VII: Accept our thanks – for this evening – and for helping to keep Firenze safe. I always had my doubts about the Auditore.
Where did the family even come from? To gain such wealth and … and prestige in… in a single generation?
Guest VI: And the children – with their odd names. Always making trouble.
Guest VII: No surprise, given the company their father kept; whores and thieves, I swear it!
Uberto: Indeed. It is clear now he sought to undermine the city – to overturn all we’ve worked so hard to build.
Guest VII: But thanks to you, that’s over now.

Eight little whores, with no hope of heaven,
Gladstone may save one, then there’ll be seven.
Seven little whores begging for a shilling,
One stays in Henage Court, then there’s a killing.
Six little whores, glad to be alive,
One sidles up to Jack, then there are five.
Four and whore rhyme aright,
So do three and me,
I’ll set the town alight
Ere there are two.
Two little whores, shivering with fright,
Seek a cosy doorway in the middle of the night.
Jack’s knife flashes, then there’s but one,
And the last one’s the ripest for Jack’s idea of fun.

i bought AC 3 on gamestop this year (i’m not from usa) and i saw 3 versions, the target version, the gamestop version and the normal one. i just bought the normal one. what’s the difference between the target and gamestop version?

Target Edition comes with preorder bonuses of the Colonial Assassin outfit, the Scottish Flintlock, and the Redcoat multiplayer character. The GameStop edition has the The Lost Mayan Ruin mission and the Sawtooth Sword. You can get all of this plus the ones from other editions if you buy the Hidden Secrets Pack.

Evie’s reaction to the ‘Murder Ballads’

Evie: Jacob.
Jacob: What.
Evie: I just got back from the King’s Crown.
Jacob: You never struck me as the drinking type, Evie. What were you doing in a place of such ill repute?
Evie: Jacob, they were singing songs. About YOU. In the TAVERN.
Jacob: What? No they’re not.
Evie: The songs were all about your former targets! Pearl Attaway, Philip Twopenny! Jacob, we’re supposed to keep our work a SECRET!
Jacob: … well, at least they’re good songs.
Evie: JACOB–
Jacob: It also puts a whole new meaning to “hiding in plain sight”, doesn’t it? Nobody would expect a secret organization to go on making up songs celebrating their victories now, would they?
Evie: //loud exasperated sigh
Jacob: Come on. Admit it, they’re quite brilliant.
Evie: … Well, I DID like the “Jokes Jokes Jokes” song.
