Assassin's Creed II

No story mission replay provided by Bonfire of the Vanities

The topic title says it all.

I have a 100% synchronization save file and still no replay option for the story missions. The side missions do not get filled in diamonds above them in the DNA menu either.

Makes me glad I play the 360 version and use a transfer kit.

So apparently Desmond's a better fighter at the beginning than I thought.

I just started a new replay to get ready for Bonfire of the Vanities.

I didn't know that Desmond can perform combo kills at that point, but apparently he can. Specifically, I attacked one Abstergo guard and he pulled off the ear clap, knee to face combo animation. Definitely surprising.

Has anyone else managed to do combo kills at that point in the game?

I have just figured out how to start recording and im going to do a series of assassination contracts. I have only just figured out how to record, the first one is very bad but they get better as the series progresses

Altair's fate?

Sat, 02/13/2010 - 23:59 — YurkleNorf

So I've been having an argument with someone over on GameFAQs about Altair being alive or dead.

I say he's dead, the other person says he's alive.

The Codex ends on Page 30 with this:

And so I have begun to wonder - might there not be a way to stop - or at least delay - death's embrace? Surely the ones who came before were not so frail and feeble as we. But I have sworn to be done with the artifact. To not gaze into its core. Still: faced as I am with the prospect of my end, what harm is there in one last look...

which is utterly ambiguous on two different levels:

a hint of potential replay in the DLC

i just noticed that i have a lot more sync bars when playing the Forli DLC than i should have. i didnt decode any codex pages until it was required in seq 14, yet the number of sync blocks i have when playing the seq 12 DLC indicates otherwise. i mention this because this effect should feel familiar to ac1 fans. in ac1, when you replay a previous memory block, you take your bonus sync bars with you - even the ones obtained from later memory blocks. this suggests that ubi is allowing us to play seq 12 using a "replay-like" feature.
