Got assassin's creed 2

The faces are horrendous, and the only cool persons so far are Da Vinci (forever) and the British dick in the future, where, apparently, everybody are dicks.

Yeah those were my favourite characters to.

I panicked everytime da vinci was on screen as i remembered that Ezio's best ability is to get anyone within a certain radius of him killed, seeing as they take liberties with history i didn't think they would care about offing da vinci whenever they felt like it.

I think Ezio gets away with being a bit of a dick though, because that's just how most nobles are portrayed. They're all a bit arrogant, a bit full of themselves. I think part of the reason it's hard to actually like him is that his motivations aren't always clear - the plot is pretty labyrinthine at times, and I find myself wonder ing just how he's connecting the dots between some of his targets. Early on, when he goes batshit insane and repeatedly stabs the young guy, his Uncle tells him off... thing is, that one glimpse of red mist shows how upset Ezio is by things, and that helps you relate. For the next half dozen kills he's so calm about it, you forget his family were killed and his mother's spent the last ten years on her knees in the bedroom. Altair never needed that connection because he was being directly ordered to each target, Ezio is his own master.

Anyway, yeah, the time skip is easily totally missed because it doesn't really affect much, even in game. That, and as I said above, I really can't keep up with large chunks of the story. It's like "okay, so now I'm after Marco di baggio de firenze or someone, but I don't really know who he is, nor what cpnnection he has in the grand scheme of things." It kinda makes it hard to care.

I think that's why we don't really give two shits about Ezio.

The real meat of the story is told through the glyphs.

Once you finish the game read this monster of awesome info: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/956856-assassins-creed-ii/faqs/58383

Ezio's only significant act was

Spoiler:

Other than that he's more or less just filler, although Brotherhood might change that, I dunno.

Buu, I don't think that was actually his girlfriend, Ezio's just a womaniser.

Oh and Simian, did you read the information they had on the characters? Because they have information profiles of all of the characters who get mentioned by name. I think it all made sense if you read those.

Yea, Leo was my favourite character too, he was such a bro to Ezio. Easily the most likeable in the series so far. Although I didn't mind Ezio that much, I figured that he underwent training to have more control over his emotions and discipline in the time skips.

Seeing as how he seems to have no attachment to anyone else, its really the only idea of an actual woman in his life. You get the impression he's at least visiting her regularly and as they show no other woman right at that time and probably brothels were just a part of daily life then i think its safe to assume she was at least significant in some way other then she got her tits out.

The optional reading in the game contains way too much key information to draw together the points. It really should have just been summed up seeing as there's so many convos about nothing in the game.

I dunno, something about his general demeanour at the start of the game gave my that opinion.

If he was sleeping around it was probably with prostitutes. He comes across as wanting to be a player as opposed to being a player.

Yeah, possibly.

Although that could be because I think he's an absolute dick, i can't imagine anyone wanting to have sex with him. Brad Pitt on the other hand lmfao.

Just met Mario, have to admit I chuckled a bit. Turned off the subtitles, as they distracted me, and I understand enough Italian for it not to be nonsense.

I got the impression she was a regular conquest rather than someone Ezio had any real 'love' for.

According to the wiki they had a deeper relationship then that. Or it at least seems like that:

(its to boring for me to read the whole thing)

A lot of that looks like stuff from Brotherhood; none of that information was in AC2.

Anything concerning Cristina beyond his little visit in AC2 and the "Amerigo" conversation (which was mentioned in her AC2 bio) stems from unlockable Repressed Memories in AC:Brotherhood.

Well then I just totally read the situation like a pro

Killed Vieri, and it was awesome. Now I'm meeting Leonardo again, yay!

Which one was Vieri again?

I think he's the jerk who keeps picking on you in the earlier part of the game.

Yeah, he's the guy that Ezio goes nuts on, when his uncle tells him off for not showing respect for the dead.

Ahh ok, thanks.

Maybe I should replay this to refresh my memory before I get Brotherhood.

Just met the Fox, and I'm losing interest in the story. Seriously, suddenly I don't remember what I'm supposed to be doing.

You'll feel like that for the rest of the game, until the last couple of missions.

Just found the first assassin's tomb. The chase sequence was brilliant.
