Assassin's Creed

I love how they have the ability to magicaly teleport to hay stacks and what not.

AC2 is pretty great, but a bit too easy. I can take out 3 dudes, 4 if I'm lucky before a fight even starts. Fortunately I like easy games.

[Exeres]

Obviously they are following me at all times, positioning themselves to be in the perfect position whenever I need them.

It's like having six extra hidden blades that have minds of their own.

[D-vid]

Brotherhood is just as easy, even though you lose all your weapons except the hidden blade with the built in gun because of events. But they're still hella fun.

[Syobon]

That is true. Also the notoriety system is broken (or glitched). I don't get any notoriety when going on a mass-killing spree with any weapon except the hidden blade. I'm not even wearing the De Medici cape since I was in Venice anyway.

[Exeres]

Are you wearing the Venetian cape instead?

[Gryewolf]

Is there a map for the feathers? I can't find those bright bastards in this bright games that's made entirely of brightness and the color bright.

[Mr. Mander]

Depends on which game, if Brohood, yes, if AC2, YOU'RE FUCKED

[Gryewolf]

I have all the Brotherhood feathers, I think I have all the flags too, save for the ones in missions.
But nothing even close to that in AC2.

[D-vid]

You have 2 options: look at google and type in AC2 feathers or just don't get them, the reward isn't all that rewarding anyway.

[Gryewolf]

The completionist in me is like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING FAGGOT UGGHHHHH FIND THE FETHURZZZZZZZZ" But the lazy asshole in me is like "Meh."

[Cafall]

the AC2 feather rewards are: @50: a crappy hammer that's likely weaker than whatever you have by that point; @100: a ten second cutscene of Maria saying "hey thanks for the feathers they made not comatose anymore" and the auditore cape which keeps notoriety at 100% always

totes not worth it at all

[Exeres]

Here, this helped me get it done in about an hour.

[Syobon]

Are you wearing the Venetian cape instead?

Nope, standard cape.

Reading TV Tropes:

Justified Trope: The metaplot means that the artificiality typical of games is justified as being a side-effect of the Animus.

* Also, it's a side-effect of Desmond's state of mind. The increased freedom and diversity of missions in Assassin's Creed II could be a result of the fact that Desmond is no longer a confused prisoner and actually wants to do something to the Templars this time around.

Oh TV Tropes, you always make everything better.
