| What would Edward think of the events of AC Rogue Posted: 18 Sep 2020 04:38 PM PDT The fact that Adewale, someone who has experience with the overwhelming power and danger of the observatory, a precursor site and who also knows that one of the assassin's from his brotherhood went missing searching for one during a mission that ended in an earthquake, wouldn't at least want to hear what Shay has to say after experiencing another earthquake is strange. His addition in Rogue really just felt like fan service for this reason. What exactly changed him between the years ? He seemed to have turned into a fanatic. Which leads me to wonder what Edward would think of the whole Shay situation. Do you think he would agree with Ade ? Why or why not ? [link] [comments] | ||

| Does buying Odyssey's Season Pass on Uplay replace your existing AC3 with AC3 Remastered? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows/has experienced what happens if you have AC3 in your Uplay library and you purchase the Season Pass/Gold/Ultimate Editions. I'm not a fan of how the remaster looks and I'm worried that as it is included in the above bundles, it would replace my already existing game in my Uplay library. Is this the case or is it treated as a separate "game?" I searched around and couldn't find anything on the sub, which is the reason for this post. [link] [comments] | ||
| Assassin's Creed: What I've been... weighting... for Posted: 18 Sep 2020 01:51 PM PDT Hi everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster! I've played many assassin's creed games; not quite all of them, but a lot of them. I mainly play because I love exploring the historical settings. I'm so-so on the stories, especially odyssey and origins though I'm not really here looking for a debate about that. I wanted to share one of my continual frustrations with the more modern assassin's creed games (probably syndicate onwards) and that's the lack of weight (if I can put it that way) when it comes to geography, landscape, and traversal in these games. I guess it's a criticism I have of a lot of open-world games but I think the more modern entries in the AC series have this problem badly. What I mean is; geography and landscape doesn't mean anything in these games when it comes to traversing the open-world. I know that some people love the freedom, but to me it's all just feels like one big climbing frame. There are roads on the map. It doesn't matter though because they have no effect on traversal or gameplay. Buildings, cliffs, etc. are all the same thing they just have a different skin on them. Why does it matter that I'm going through a forest rather than a patch of scrub, neither change anything about the feel of travel, neither offer any obstacle to my path, nothing about them changes how I play, I can just float over it all. People talk a lot about the open-world feeling 'alive', but I think games often miss a crucial aspect of that - meaningful geography and landscapes. I get that this is all a bit vague, so perhaps some concrete examples will help: If I have two possible routes between this town and that town I want to have to make a meaningful choice. I can take the short road through the forest - but I know that forests bring a greater chance of (actually dangerous) bandits, I could take the main road; it's safer but significantly longer. I could go off road, but I know that would mean plotting my way through a marsh, and hacking through undergrowth. It would be slower (unless I knew a good route - I might benefit from knowing this part of the map well already) but it might lead me past a point of interest. Maybe there's a cliff route, but my character might not be able to make the climb yet. This is what I mean to 'weight' about the geography and landscape that we're traversing; and it's a long way from what AC is at the moment. Take Odyssey, I don't care where Corinth is in relation to Athens, it makes no difference to me what lies between them because I can float over it all. Or take an assassination mission. The target may be in a building, but it doesn't matter what type of building it is, what it's made from, how high its walls are, or even if it even has handholds anymore. I guess what I am trying to get across is that we need some more limits to our traversal in AC games if we want any of our interaction with the world to feel meaningful. I don't think the AC games will be able to transcend 'generic open-world adventure' until this happens. You might say: "if you want this AC isn't for you" and fine if that's the case. Except no one else is making this kind of games in a wide range of interesting historical settings. I'll probably play Valhalla anyway (because I love the saxons and because no matter how many times I get burnt I still hope they won't stuff it full of heinous anachronisms.) Anyway; rant over.

| Can you play in Borderless/Windowed mode with the Ezio Collection? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 10:09 PM PDT If anyone knows if they added this feature in the options menu of any of the 3 games in the Ezio collection bundle, I would be greatly appreciated if you could share [link] [comments] | ||
| Haven’t played since AC2, how lost will I be? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 06:15 PM PDT Hi all. I played the first and second AC game all the way through. As Ubisoft kept churning out more, I fell more and more behind then just gave up. I've read that the Desmond Miles story concludes and the newer games aren't quite the back and forth. I've also heard you can get into them without needing to play the previous ones. The reason I want your opinion is because I like the mechanics and the recent games (a great pirate game, gladiator type game and soon Viking game) sound awesome. I just want to know how lost I'd be.

| [Spoilers] Spanish Conquest of the New World - Common Setting Discussions Posted: 18 Sep 2020 09:00 AM PDT A common trait Assassin's Creed groups have is the constant theorizing about future settings, because historical tourism is one of the best parts of the series. This series of posts will act as a counter to my Mildly Obscure setting discussions, but rather than looking at a single point, I will be taking a broad setting that is popular and looking at several potential settings to explore within it. Today's setting is the Spanish Conquests of Central and South America. Aztec Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 and found "the New World" rather than an easy trade route to India. With this discovery came a wealth of opportunity for European Imperialist nations, and in today's topic most notably Spain. Spain immediately began to set up colonies and conquests in Cuba, Florida, and Mexico, and in 1519 sent a ship of Conquistadors to conquer Mexico with Hernan Cortes at the head of the expedition. Joining him was the assassin Giovanni Borgia who was tasked with retrieving a PoE in Tenochtitlan. When the conquistadors arrived, they formed the city of Veracruz and Cortes met a young slave girl named La Malinche who became his lover along with a partial translator. She assisted the Conquistadors in finding the explorer Geronimo de Aguilar and communicating with tribes that rivaled the Aztecs including the Tlaxcalans. Between June and November of 1519, Cortes and his men marched through the thick jungles and mountains being attacked numerous times by other native tribes, each of which eventually sued for peace after several short battles. On the 8th of November, Cortes and his men entered Tenochtitlan, meeting Moctezuma II and tricking him and the other Aztecs into believing they were gods by removing their helmets. Panfilo de Narvaez, who funded the expedition, at this point recalled Cortes believing he may not be loyal to the crown, to which Cortes refused. The Spanish stayed in Tenochtitlan for several months, with Giovanni learning of the location of a Crystal Skull, which was in possession of an Aztec priest. In Mid-May the Aztecs had the festival of Toxcatl, during which they brutally sacrificed people to the Gods, causing the Spanish to lose their minds. Pedro de Alvarado uses this to attack and kill dozens of Aztec elite, while other Spanish begin to plunder the city for gold. In the confusion, Giovanni kills the priest and steals the Skull and the Spanish retreat from the city. Cortes met up with and engaged in battle with Narvaez and most troops defected to Cortes. Navarez went back to Cuba and would eventually lead an expedition in Florida where he was killed by Natives. Perhaps an assassination mission? Unknown to Cortes was these men were infected with Smallpox. In Late June the Spanish returned to Tenochtitlan, Cristobal de Olid as Cortes right-hand man, and entered the city, capturing Moctezuma. According to Project Legacy, as he was being led away and telling his subjects to not rebel, they threw rocks at him, killing him. The death of Moctezuma enraged the locals and on June 30th in the middle of night violently expelled the Spanish and their Allies, killing up to 1000 Spaniards and 4000 allied natives. Multiple battles erupted through Mexico between the Spanish and their Allies against the Aztecs, during which Cuitlahuac is crowned as Emperor. He would die on December 4th amidst a massive smallpox outbreak among the locals. Reinforced in June of 1521, Cortes would lead the Siege and Battle of Tenochtitlan in mid-July. It wasn't until late August that the last of the Aztec defenders surrendered. Cortes was named captain-general of New Spain and in 1524 send Cristobal de Olid to capture Honduras. Cristobal rebelled and was killed in battle later. It would take another 20 years or so of extending their influence over the Yucatan, and north in Mexico to finally take complete control, but the bulk of the fighting with the Aztecs was done. Mayan I feel the conquest of the Maya is far less dramatic. The Mayans were very disconnected, and the Mayan Empire had collapsed about 600 years before Spanish influence. In the North of the Yucatan was a small federation but ignored the Mayan Highlands to the south and Peten in the east. Even prior to the collapse, the Mayan Empire's politics never infiltrated every city, and the end of the classic period saw major cities abandoned and multiple wars between various cities states. Pedro de Alvarado Swept through the Mayan Highlands between 1524 and 1526. From there, three Spanish Captains asserted their rule over the region causing a small scale rebellion that was finally eradicated in 1530. In 1527 Francisco de Montejo was given permission to conquer the Yucatan Peninsula and he moved across it and first took the region of Ekab. They tried to move out of the region but were under constant attack and eventually withdrew near modern-day Cancun in 1528. He returned in 1531 with Alonso de Alvia and began a 4-year long process of the conquest of Campeche on the western part of the Yucatan during which Francisco's son, Francisco de Montejo the Younger joined him. Mayan resistance grew too harsh and they retreated once more. Montejo the Younger took the reigns in 1540 and founded Merida along with a few other cities in the Northern Yucatan over a 6 year period. The Yucatan Mayans all banded together and attempted to force Francisco out, leading to his father marching up with reinforcements from the highlands. A single decisive battle was fought leaving 20 Spanish dead and hundreds of Mayans, having conquered Northern Yucatan, home of Chichen Itza and Tulum. The Southern Yucatan, the Peten Basin was eventually conquered between 1618-1695. Inca The Incan Empire had reached its Zenith in 1525 expanding from the Sacred Valley along the west coast of South America by force. Francisco Pizarro, former mayor of Panama City began to search for Peru, finally finding it during his expedition from 1524-1526 with Diego de Almagro. Unfortunately, they and their followers were likely carrying smallpox, as the Incan Emperor Huayna Capac died from it in 1528, kicking off a civil war between his sons Atahualpa and Huascar. During this, Pizarro traveled back to Spain to gain permission to conquer Peru, which was granted in 1529. In 1531 Pizarro traveled back to Peru with Spanish Assassin Gonzalo Pardo by his side as one of his right-hand men, unaware that he was given the mission to prevent the total downfall of the Empire. The civil war had allowed Francisco and his brothers Juan, Gonzalo, and Hernando to easily enter Peru and begin to ally with conquered subjects of the Inca. In 1532 after several months of taking small portions of land, Hernando Pizarro met with Atahualpa who was currently winning the civil war. In a possibly drunken state, he demanded the Spanish returned everything they stole from the Incas, and in particular a specific relic that was important to him. Hernando complied with the single relic, which Atahualpa threw on the ground upon taking it. Hernando ran out of their tent and ordered an attack, sacking the camp and capturing Atahualpa. He was held for several months before raids from his men became exhausting to the Spanish who then decided to execute him. In response, Atahualpa arranged for his brother to be assassinated so he could outbid him to the Spanish in an attempt to win freedom or at least his life. Regardless, Francisco held a mock trial for conspiracy against the Spanish and murder of his brother, to which he was found guilty, and executed in 1533. Gonzalo Pardo's failure to save Atahualpa led him to a depressive and drunken state for 2 years as the Spanish seized control and placed Manco Inca as a new Emperor. Incan architecture is really dependent on the period it came from. Early architecture from 900-1200ce is very similar to what's found in Cuzco, being a normal flat(ter) city layout with large stacked rock walls. Around the end of this era is when they began to build terraced mountains and they evolved to become more defensive as well. Sites like Machu Picchu became common in the 15th century for most of the Incan civilization, even those being conquered by the Incas. Though some of these, like Machu Picchu, were abandoned before Conquistadors reached them, likely fleeing in fear and from diseases like smallpox that ravaged the Americas. Francisco and De Almagro disagreed on who should rule Cuzco and Peru but eventually came to terms in 1535 signing a treaty about it and splitting Peru in half. Francisco left to found Lima while De Almagro left to go explore the south and recover Gold leaving the Pizarro brothers to watch over Cuzco. Gonzalo stole Manco Inca's wife in 1536, leading him to rebel against the Spanish during which the Spanish lost control of the citadel in Cuzco. The Brothers attempted to retrieve it but Juan was killed in the process. Diego de Almagro returned from Chile in 1537 dismayed at the lack of gold, only to find his city under Siege. He coordinated with Hernando and Gonzalo and then quickly finished the siege, during which Gonzalo Pardo escorted Manco Inca to Vilcabamba. During this, de Almagro captures Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro. Alonso de Alvarado commanded an army sent by Francisco to rescue his brothers but was defeated and captured at the battle of Abancay on July 12th, 1537. Shortly after, Alonso managed to escape with Gonzalo but Hernando chose to stay behind. Francisco attempted to negotiate for Hernando even saying he'd withdraw entirely from Cuzco. During these negotiations, Alvarado fell ill, and Francisco took the time to strike, capturing Almagro and killing hundreds of his men at Las Salinas in April 1538. On July 8, Almagro was condemned to death for treason and executed in his cell by Hernando. A year later, Gonzalo sacked Vilcabambra to try to capture Manco Inca, failing, but capturing and executing his wife. Hernando returned to Spain in 1539 to lobby for his family's ability to rule Peru, but his bribery instead saw him imprisoned for 20 years. In 1541, the son of Diego de Almagro (Diego Almagro II), put into work his plan to get revenge on Francisco for killing his father. He and his followers snuck into Francisco's Palace in Lima while he slept, orchestrated a coup d'etat, and had an all-out battle in the halls of the Palace. Francisco awoke and killed two of his would-be assassins, only be stabbed through the neck by a third. Like with Origins and Odyssey, a stab through the neck was not a one-shot kill, and as he bled to death, Francisco used his blood to draw a cross and pray. Cristobal Vaca de Castro was assigned as governor and appointed himself Governor of New Castille just after the death of Francisco, promising to aid Gonzalo in the battle against Almagro II and his followers. On September 16th, 1542, Diego Almagro II was defeated in battle at Chupas and executed after a brief trial. The rest of the supporters of Almagro that survived defected to hide and fight with Manco Inca, who now primarily engaged in Guerilla warfare. A year later, Castro sent Diego de Roxas to Rio de la Plata to discover the region, and towards the end, Diego was murdered during a brawl in the camp. Manco Inca was eventually killed in 1544 by the followers of Almagro he helped hide, and with him dead, the Spanish Crown made Blasco Nunez Vela the first Viceroy of Peru. Castro abdicated to Vela and returned to Spain where he was imprisoned for 3 years for illegal enrichment. Vela then began to enact new legislation that would, according to Bartolome de las Casas, prevent the exploitation of the Incans. The conquistadors weren't a fan of this, as they had grown rich and accustomed to their way of life and rallied under Gonzalo Pizarro to fight this. Vela was killed in battle near Anaquito in January of 1846. Pedro de la Gasca replaced him in 1547 and immediately tried to make peace with Gonzalo, revoking the acts. With this, most of Gonzalo's support fell away, while he tried to retain it and fight against de la Gasca. In April of 1548, he led at the Battle of Jaquijahuana near Cuzco and lost, surrendering and being beheaded. The majority of fighting was done at this point, but the Incas remained unconquered and continued to fight for another 24 years. In 1570 Viceroy Toledo created the Inquisition of Peru and executed Tupac Amaru the last monarch of the Incas in 1572. That's right it was Viceroy Toledo that killed Tupac, not Biggie. Despite this, Viceroy Toledo helped the overall of the safety of Peru more than any of his predecessors, building bridges and roads to facilitate travel, allowing the founding of Cordoba Argentina, and built fortifications along the coast due to the rise of Piracy, especially at the hands of Sir Francis Drake who was ravaging the coast in 1579. Off the coast of South America are two very important island chains. The Galapagos Islands in lore are said to have contained one of the Grand Temples, while Easter Island a little farther west contains some isu site or artifact. Easter Island was discovered by Europeans for another 150 years, but they discovered the Galapagos Islands in 1535, and it's said the Sapa Inca (potentially Atahualpa or one of his successors) visited the islands in the 16th century. Many historians write it off as a local legend of surviving Inca, but it may be possible to explore this as them looking for a PoE to save themselves. It is known in history that the Inca had some contact with Polynesians as Incan pottery and DNA have shown up across Polynesia, while some Polynesian artifacts and ancestry are found among native Peruvian populations. Many islands in the pacific like Hawaii and Easter Island weren't inhabited until 400-800ce, which is plenty of time for the Hidden Ones' Ideology to spread from western Asia. Even in Assassin's Creed 4, Ah Tabai mentions the ideology was in the new world before the Europeans. I believe the introduction of the Hidden Ones to the Americas happened both from Vikings like Leif Erikson and sea-faring Polynesians, who spread it to local populations like the Mohawk and Incans, and that eventually reached the Aztec and Mayan populations.

| Accents in Unity: Why are they all variations of British? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 01:21 PM PDT Why are they all british accents? I don't think there is a single brit in the game, yet unlike all other games, the accents are not those of the people. They even have different accents from different parts of britain, like Bellec's accent. every game before and after, excluding altair in the first, has had appropriate accents for each character. This one misses that [link] [comments] | ||
| Do you prefer AC Origins or AC Odyssey? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 02:52 PM PDT I honestly loved Origins, got the Platinum, and got literally everything, I was a little tired of just playing, but overall, I loved everything about the story. Yet when I saw Odyssey and didn't buy it because it looked too similar to Origins, and honestly, from reviews, it just seemed to not innovate at all and not be as good. Yet it was praised by a lot of people, who critiqued Origins. What do you think? [link] [comments] | ||
| I’m confused about the “twist” in AC3 regarding Charles Lee and George Washington. Posted: 18 Sep 2020 01:02 PM PDT In AC3, a young Connor first encounters Charles Lee and the other Templars in the forest just outside of his village, where they harass, threaten and assault the boy. Lee makes several ethnocentric comments about the Mohawk "living in the dirt like animals, oblivious to the true ways of the world," and nearly choking Connor to death before being knocked unconscious by William Johnson. When Connor awakes, he sees his village on fire and watches his mother die in the flames. It is these events that lead Connor to seek vengeance against Lee and the Templars and sets him on the path to joining the Assassins. Later on, it is revealed by Haytham that it was not Lee that was responsible for the burning of the village, but George Washington. This causes Connor to break ties with Washington and constantly criticize his character henceforth, basically agreeing with the Templars' beliefs of Washington's inability to command the Continental Army and his weakness of character. With that background out of the way, I want it to be known I have several questions. It took me years before I even realized that Washington had been the one responsible for attacking Connor's village in 1760 and causing the death of Ziio, and thought that Connor's anger was borne from learning he had sent Patriot forces to stop the Loyalist-affiliated Mohawk in the present time. I only learned the first bit after going through the database entries since it was not specified that that's what Washington did. I just want to say that I think that there may have been an error with writing or editing because certain events don't seem to line up right. Washington had retired from the British Army by 1758 at the rank of Colonel, and did not return to the military until 1775 when he was made commander of the Continental Army. The attack on Connor's village happened in 1760 when he was four years old. Furthermore, Haytham makes mention of something Washington did "fourteen years ago" from 1778, being 1764, which was well after Connor's mother had died. So basically, this means that Washington could not have been there at all. Either Haytham was lying and manipulating Connor or the writers forgot to include anything that would confirm Washington's presence at something like that. Secondly, what were Lee and the Templars doing so close to Connor's village prior to the attack? I mean, is it coincidence that they were armed and threatening Connor, demanding to speak to the village's elders, on the same exact day the place was allegedly set ablaze by Washington? The odds of that are astronomical at best. I've heard some people suggest that Lee was not operating on behalf of the Templars but of the British Army at that point, yet somehow had the entire Templar entourage with him (minus Haytham). They were clearly looking for something, and we don't know if it was Precursor sites or the Crystal Ball Piece of Eden or what. However, upon hearing from Connor that Lee was the one to supposedly burn down the village, Haytham remarks how that was impossible since they agreed to stop looking for Precursor sites. Based on Lee's aggressive and racist behavior towards the Mohawk, despite the earlier sequences showing the Templars working alongside them to take down Silas and Braddock, it suggests that Lee may have been acting against Haytham's orders and searching for Precursor sites on his own. My best guess is that Lee truly was the one to burn down the village and kill Connor's mother in pursuit of the Pieces of Eden, and Haytham simply couldn't accept the fact that Charles would act in a way contrary to his orders and command of the Templar Order, since he had proven himself to be devoted to both the cause and to Haytham personally. We never actually see Lee deny that he had anything to do with the burning, nor does Washington ever say anything either. Either Lee lied and told Haytham that it was Washington who did it (playing on his connection to Ziio so as to direct the Templar's attention to eliminating Washington and replacing him with Lee), or Haytham was looking for excuses to both do away with Washington and try to bring Connor over to his side. The issue with this is that it's never made clear one way or the other, and all it does is turn Washington into an asshole for no good reason, only this time Connor doesn't direct his vengeance towards him for whatever reason. Lee, however, is still the same asshole he was when Connor first met him, whether he burned the village or not, and Connor's motivations still remain unchanged. I could of course be wrong about all this or missing something, and I'm curious to see what you guys think. [link] [comments] | ||

| [AC Valhalla] Playing in German audio could improve immersion. Posted: 18 Sep 2020 07:24 PM PDT A debatable statement, considering the majority of the game is said to be taking place in ~England~ , therefore English is obviously more appropriate. But it's not really English they would have spoken back then. It was, wait for it… Old English. For non speakers of German, this could make you feel like you're listening to Viking language. Subtitles of your language choice, ofc. I played AC II and Brotherhood in Italian. Revelations in English because it wouldn't have made sense to hear Yusuf express himself in italiano. Everything else in English, except Unity (#BestAC gameevercreated) which I play in French. I use subtitles in English and I feel immersed in the era. Subtitles were bloody necessary in Black Flag as well, since that folk spoke something else entirely. :D What do you think? immersion[link] [comments] | ||
| The arrival of the compass in Ac Origins-Odyssey-Valhalla Posted: 18 Sep 2020 07:15 AM PDT I think that the compass was introduced in Origins because after two city-games the ambience changed into a very open area, with almost 60-70% of the map that is just sand or rocks with nothing over it, and the minimap would have been useless and empty most of the time, except while exploring Alexandria or the other major cities. The choice of doing this change made me struggle for a little, because I couldn't be comfortable with the compass and without the Eagle vision. Instead, when I started to understand how it worked, I felt very good without a circle covering ¼ of the screen, mostly because after I found myself confident with the game I always deactivated it in the past games. I think that in Valhalla the same reasoning was done by the developers, because we'll have open areas and not big cities as we saw in Ac Unity, Syndicate, 3, Brotherhood ecc. honestly I hope that after Valhalla we'll have the return of the minimap and the big cities, and I thought this: as we saw in the last years, Assassin's creed follows a three years sequence. 2, Brotherhood and Revelations are similar in the exploration, 3, Black Flag and Rogue are similar, Unity and Syndicate and so on for Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. This is my opinion on the compass, tell me if you agree with me or if you can't deal with the compass! [link] [comments] |
