Can I ask if you have heard a murder ballad of Lucy Thorne? Cause it seems weird that she would be the only one w/out one. They could have made it super dark like penny dreadful and all about the occult and stuff

None that I can recall. I did find variations of the murder ballads that’s found in the soundtrack, though. I haven’t posted them because some sound like WIPs (there’s one where someone is doing a warm-up for a song and it’s pretty funny).

hi sorry to bother you! i was playing ac3 and i remember the first time i played it there was a scene where connor told haytham his real name and haytham completely failed at pronouncing it. however i’ve finished all the haytham missions in my current playthrough and i never saw that scene. do you remember anything like that happening or am i just delusional? i remember the scene reminding me of haytham also failing to pronounce ziio’s name

You sure it wasn’t a gif set someone had made instead? Because that scene doesn’t exist in-game…

opinion: unity is underrated. i truly fell in love with that game for the graphics, the characters, the storyline, the historical figures… idk i really love that game but i think it’s rough beginning offset its likability

I think it’s more underappreciated than underrated (only because I don’t think any AC game is really “underrated”, if you get what I mean, heh). Unity was the AC game so many fans demanded wanted: the option to do co-op play in one of the most complex and heavily discussed event in history. The game has a great concept, so it’s unfortunate that it’s launch and “controversies” was so poorly received that many people treated like it was the worst like you said.

Personally, I felt that they treated the French Revolution like a background noise. It’s just there. You kind of ignore it because Arno is dealing with personal issues that wasn’t caused by the revolution. Yes, there are missions concerning events that happened during the revolution, but they’re optional and preferable to do it co-op. I think that it would’ve been better had the co-op missions were the main storyline (especially when some of the trailer suggests so).

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. (:
