MULTI Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood | Story Discussion Thread *Spoilerrific*

[DarkSlayer]

Ended the game today. I so want AC3 now, just for the sake of story.

Who is this subject 16? I seem to have forgotten about him/her. I didn't get...if the voices at the end were really Templars, Desmond fell unconscious and the apple was there with him. Templars wanted the apple, why would they put him back in the animus?. Lucy was probably a distraction or a templar that's why she made him kill her..

BTW, Altair mated with a templar, and the lineage of assassins continue.....so to think Desmond is actually son of an assassin and a templar, could that play some part in the story?

Everytime I end an AC game I feel so confused. So much questions to be answered by the player himself!
Can we summarize it? I seem to have forgotten how it started. From Altair to Ezio to desmond, and that minerva and subject 16 and everything... I'm all mixing it up :S

Ok Hai im here. First off, i think one of the two voices in the credits is very clearly Shaun's voice, the other is probably supposed to be William, the animus expert who's emails we've talked about before. (who sounds like the guy who does Colonel Campbell's voice in the MGS games)

and god damn it ubisoft "The only place where those two come together are ........"

ps, looks like Lucy ain't gonna be Desmond's primary chicka afterall, with the subtitles on when you hear 16 he says "The Sun .. your son" a very deliberate word switch i reckon, but who is this Eve ... I imagine the big twist is going to be that Eve is somehow associated with the templars or something.

As for Ezio's story, well the main game missions run out pretty fast if you do them quickly but at least all the side stuff has some story to it as well, like the courtesan missions etc. Really dug the Christina missions because they filled in actual story gaps too.

It was kinda sad how it ended for Christina though.

are you saying I missed majority of cristina part! *cries*
I've left so much I've to replay the game

It wasn't Shaun at all. He has a very heavy british accent which even the deaf can recognize.

William M. was the guy who sent Lucy an email about Desmond losing his mind right? Thats the only thing i remember about him(missed the later emails). Plus this guy Erudito, who is some hacker with pro skillz could be the second voice or he could be subject 16 - even hacked the animus so its possible he's living inside the animus. I still believe Desmond was reliving his memories.

Eve is probably not going to be a new character, so far into the story they wouldn't just come up with a new character. Its probably some sort of power. Well i hope the AC game coming next year clears up some shit.

"Go awaken the sixth!" Thats what she said i think...
Now! awakening can also mean visiting sixth's memories ala Ezio, could be some assassin from the past & Desmond must find some chik to awaken sixth!!!!

Gameplay wise it could mean co-op maybe =P

Bleh! never liked all this conspiracy crap! Just love the game sooooooooooo fkin much!!!! Can't wait for next year's 'big AC game' (sm1)

Playing this game for the first time. Just wanted to ask anyone about what things to expect when you play as Desmond in the Villa after you exit the Animus for the first time? Are there any items to find in the Villa? Where are they?

Well, I've got the Assassin's Creed: Renaissance which was a novelization of ACII and the Christina Missions were there in the book so they weren't really surprising for me. Pretty Bollywood-ish during the, "promise me you'll always love her!" when Ezio saves her fiance.

I'd say that the rumors going around about the Japanese female assassin are most probably true. There's no way they could do a game with an Assassin older than Ezio... Although I'm all up for an Altair spin-off.

There are Claudia's Diaries to be found in Monterrigioni. Don't know about their location because I never found more than one.

 

[Crafts Person]

So far I found a sword, a cape, a chest like thing. There are total 5 things to find. I can't seem to find the other two and the time runs out!

 

[Raptorian]

Finished it. Why does it have to be a cliffhanger? A satisfying cliffhanger. Hate to see Lucy go because she's been with us since 2007, not that she was better than Shaun or Rebecca.

Things were going a little too well for them at the end. Something bad was bound to happen.

+ Numerous gameplay tweaks make this the best Assassin's Creed experience.
+ A much better ending that previous entries.
+ LOADS of secondary memories to play.
+ New music complements the older very well.
+ Christina missions were a great throwback to Ezio's youth and beautiful cities of Firenze & Venezia.
+ Brotherhood mechanic makes you feel like a "Master Assassin".
- Ezio is a much more serious character this time around.
- Brotherhood mechanic is half-assed.
- Not much to do in 2012 Monteriggioni.
- Removal of races.

Brotherhood is a brilliant follow up to last year's superb AC2. Ubisoft hasn't taken any shortcuts with this one. It doesn't feel like an expansion.

Looking forward to a big Assassin's Creed III next year which hopefully won't END the franchise. There are just too many eras and places AC can be.

 

[Geralt of Rivia]

Shall we have a game for every day in the 72 days countdown? Not likely. Events are already in motion. 12-21-2012 is going to happen soon(in game). Another cliffhanger ending and the game will be called "cliffhanger's creed". I know the game is great and all, but the story shud end now. Ubisoft has created enuf anxiety for this game.

 

[Crafts Person]

In the end, after Desmond stabs Lucy, both crumple to the floor, unconcious. The Apple falls between them, I wonder if Lucy may survive if she touches it?

 

[Hacks]

The Apple cannot bring back the dead. Another POE called The Shroud can. I doubt if Lucy's coming back. She was pretty uninteresting anyway.

 

[Chandoo]

There were pretty heavy implications that Lucy was a double agent, so considering that's an important thing I doubt she's been killed off that easily.

 

[Omyakha]

She was uninteresting only because they never bothered to spend any time on her character. Like Raptoria said above they tend to focus too much on the events inside the animus. I'd hate to see Lucy not come back, would be a waste of a great voice actor (Kristen Bell if anyone didn't know)

 

[Geralt of Rivia]

Who cares... I'm more concerned about Ezio and the animus hero now that his era is over. . He was a great guy . Whoz d assassin in french revolution?

 

[Gizmo]

I really hope the Next Assassin is a Fe-male.

 

[zain1988]

Next Assassin could bee Jacques Clouseau .. who knows!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Radical]

I think next years big AC game would be another side story ala AC: B, AC 3 will release in 2012!
