The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

Also, three guesses which achievement will be FLAE's favorite?

Wow. I guess Rick will have to wait for the "stabguy" achievement in AC3. Apparently Ubisoft deems me more important

These achievements seem pretty lame, though. I was hoping for some more difficult ones. Although I am curious as to why Ubi has included both flags and feathers in the same game, that doesn't make sense to me. Why bring back flags at all?

Feathers are back? What significance could they possibly have this time? We already collected all of Petrucio's feathers in AC2...

Flags I know are back because they're a part of the Borgia's influence in Rome, removing them - as well as burning down the towers - removes that influence and allows the city to come back to life, as it were. They actually do serve an in-game purpose for once.

What I want to know is why the feathers are back, just like SBIzokronus.

And of course, what Subject 16's puzzles will be like, if they'll be like the ones from AC2.

They look okay but nothing special. Some of the multiplayer ones might take a while but I've already done some of that stuff in the beta

Look at it this way, you might be helping bringing in more users to the forum, if someone googles "Fly Like an Eagle" asssassins creed, they're quite likely to find this forum!

I can confirm that when "Assassin's Creed Fly Like An Eagle" is Googled, the top two hits are for THB!

So...does this mean I Am Alive [if it even gets released] has been retooled to fit into the AC canon?

i was half expecting they would make an achivement called something like
"Stab a Guy"
make your first kill.

but i guess that will have to wait.

Yeah at abstergo they just happened to have some blood red paint lying around.

I thought everyone knew that? lol

Blood loss just put him into a coma? So now he is on a mechanical blood circulator, hooked up to an Animus 24/7!!!!

I hope we get to see this disturbing image at the end of ACB or during AC3.

AC3: Blood-Deprived.
The final mission will be to terminate Subject 16 via unplugging the Vader suit he is inside of.

Or by then, we learn to love his character and we have to kill him with the hidden blade.

As soon as i read what the mores code means i thought of that game. It's still being developed by Ubisoft right?

Not sure if i like all of the muliplayer achievements they have. However, if they allow private matches then they shouldn't be too much of a pain to get.

I thought that game was a current gen remake of the Playstation 2 game, SOS: The final escape (Disaster Report in the US)?

don't mean to burst your bubble, but maybe the achivement is nothing more than commercial for the "I am alive" game.

i think it's written in morse code just to get peoples attention, making them look it up and then see there's a coming game with that name

Most likely Gotta love a bit of sneaky advertising.

That's a pretty big slap in the face to AC fans, though. It's pretty misleading if that's the case.

Oh btw read this somewhere, dont give me credit for this idea but maybe they already planned subject 16's story from AC2. As in, they already intended him to escape alive. Heres why I think this, Desmond could see symbols that used to be Subject 16s blood right?

What about the red marks on the keypad when they escaped Abstergo? You use eagle vision and Desmond guesses the code by trial and error, maybe it was Subject 16s bloody fingerprints while he escaped?

I think the finger prints on the keypad were just from some Abstergo agent. They were just highlighted red by Desmond's Eagle Vision.

There's no way S16 could have painted all those symbols with his blood and still be able to escape. Maybe the "I Am Alive" bit(if it's more than just an ad for Ubi's other game) is figurative, like "I am alive IN YOU!" That is if you believe the theory about Desmond and S16 being related through Ezio(i'm starting to see how that could be possible).

One more thing, after you solve all the Truth puzzles in AC2 the reaction from Lucy seems to indicate that S16 is TRULY DEAD. His last words also imply that Lucy watched him kill himself.

In the last Subject 16 clip 'The Orgins of Species' in AC2....
Subject 16 lastly says firmly "she sees me raise the knife...." which implies to many things

If you want my personal opinion... I think S16 is alive' maybe not literally but I think the Animus is the Key for Desmond to connect to everybody in the past and also the present'

Most likely Subject 16 is dead. But remember, in the world of AC, "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted."

He was probably talking about Lucy at Abstergo, but when I heard Subject 16 say "Lucy", for some reason I got to imagining him reliving memories of really ancient ancestors; maybe the "Lucy" of Olduvai Gorge:

I'd have to watch the scene again as it might be completely unfounded to have thought that.

That's an interesting though! In the puzzle where he says it is when you morph that ape-like skeleton into a human one so that theory might not be far off. Maybe Lucy reminds S16 of an "old flame" from a million years ago.
