The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

"Alright but only for a minute."

"One minute is all I need."

"Indeed."

"Wait, that came out wrong..."

"Under my care, men's hearts grow firm"

"Among other things, I'm sure..."

umm, Ezio needs an outlet...

Bah, you're all so rude

" Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember..."

"Nothing is true..."

"Where other men are limited by morality, or law; remember..."

"Everything is permitted..."

"We work in the dark to serve the light - we are assassins"

"NOTHING IS TRUE, EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED"

Now quote the strange words that Mario said when turning on the fire, Giga.

"The Auditore are not dead. I'm still here. Me! Ezio! Ezio Auditore!"

"You continue to disappoint in every conceivable way, Ms. Stillman."

I can't remember the rest, but I thought the dialogue that quote was from was one of the best in the game.

What did that say, anyway?

I thought this was supposed to be a funny topic, in terms of seriousness, my favorite quote was:

"No please, it's too soon, I'm not ready."

"We rarely are..."

I think it was the Arabic(/whatever language Altiar uses) for Nothing is True...

Also
"Requisate in pace, you bastard"

"AHA! You've found another one, how exciting!"
I've heard that... so.. many.. times! GAH!

As well as:
"You have to show us some of your tricks-ZIO!"
- Thieves say that so hilarious

I like what Shaun says when you keep pestering him after the dialogue at the beginning. He will eventually say something like "Lucy, this new guy of yours, I think he's stalking me, he won't leave me alone."

Heck, half of what Shaun says makes me laugh.

"you know, the ones out there, risking their lives...the little things like that"

I get annoyed every time I hear Shaun say that. Desmond should respond, "You mean like I'm going to be doing after this training while you continue to sit here on your ass?"

Technically Des is sitting on his ass, lol

For a day or two while he trains. Then he'll be out there risking his life more than any other single person affiliated with the Assassins while Shaun stays home and continues to play desk jockey. Yet Shaun has the audacity to imply that Desmond's role is trivial while others are the real heroes. Talk about a double standard.

Shaun's statement was insulting and disrespectful, considering that Desmond was willing to make this huge sacrifice voluntarily. You don't ask someone to risk their life for your cause and then berate them five minutes later before they've even had a chance to begin. If it were me, I probably would have decked him for such a callous remark.

Well, Asaic, keep in mind that at this point in the training Desmond probably would get wrecked by Shaun. Even if he is a desk jockey, he's outright told Desmond he's killed before, and won't hesitate to do it again. Perhaps there will be an altercation in AC3 where Shaun and Desmond's tension finally boils over. Probably just fist fights, but then again, Desmond DOES have a hidden blade now (and a giant metal beating stick).

Oh yeah, um... 1000th POST!!!

Having killed someone only speaks to his morals and his dedication to the cause. Even cowards and wimps can kill. He could have poisoned somebody's coffee, or snuck up behind them and shot them in the back of the head with a 9mm. Nothing about Shaun implies that he's trained in deadly martial arts. If he was, he would have been out there fighting the Abstergo goons instead of acting all panicky. He's a skinny nerd with an attitude and Desmond is pretty solid and athletic. I see no contest.

Besides, if Desmond decked him and Shaun decided to fight back with some mad kung fu, Lucy wouldn't let him. She'd sooner fire Shaun (or get involved herself) than let him "wreck" Desmond.

Anyways, I digress. I'm way off topic here.

I'll get us back on topic with my new favorite quote:

"It is a good life we lead, brother."

"The best."

"Let us pray that it never ends."

Ubisoft presents:

ASSASSINS CREED II

"You dont have a ticket"
"Who invited you"
"Uhhhhhhh ......... nobody"
and
"You dont remember me"
"Hmmm"
"Itza me Mario"

This one gave me chills, because, of course we know it won't last.

For the ones that already played trough the DLC Battle of Forli:
''Of course Signora. We'll happily give them back -for something of yours. A certain map?'' ''And a certain Apple, brother.'' ''Si, a certain Apple indeed. Or shall I slice your babies' necks ear to ear!?'' ''Bastardi! You think you can threaten me!? I'll give you NOTHING! You want my children? Take them! I have the instrument to make more!''
*pulls up her dress and shows her undies*

Priceless.

For me, the music is more emotionally affecting than the dialogue. It's so melancholy.

But the dialogue bits that get to me the most are when Ezio is escorting his mom and sister out of Florence and when Claudia keeps questioning him, he has to keep saying "I don't know". Then he has to lie to them about the men being properly buried (I assume he's lying), getting a glimmer of how his life has to be from now on.

Finally, when he tells Rosa, "It's my birthday". That is just so sad.

Now I've gone and depressed everybody .

One line that makes me laugh is when a civilian finds a dead body and says, "Oh shit! I better get the hell out of here." For a good example listen to 1:00 of this video by Reacher. You'd think they'd watch their language at church...

Or the civillians yelling after you throw money.
''Money, Money!''
''MONETA, MONETA!''
''My lucky day!''
Then just poison someone. They still want the money, even though they're being smshed if they come too close...

ha yeah that was funny, big knickers!

at that time i like when a random crasy woman starts yelling "I can't die, i'm beautiful"

Hehe, when I hear a woman yell that I always kill her..

The one at the end of the battle of Forli when the Irish monk says "Go in peace" and Ezio pleasantly replies, "I always do".

As Antonio spots you, he yells: ''By the light of the Lord, be cleansed!'' Ezio: ''No grazie.'' *stab*.
And in the memory corridor: ''Have some respect for death, my friend.'' I'll show you some respect!'' ''No, I will.''

Epic.

Spaniard: I see... Kind of you bringing me the Apple. Now give it here!
Ezio: Vai a farti fottere

"It's not necessary! Besides, I've no money for this doctor of yours.'' ''Wasted it on wine and women, huh?''
''I'd hardly called it wasted. Lend me some florins, then... Or have you done the same?''

"Twenty-two years ago, I stood where I stand now - and watched my loved ones die, betrayed by those I had called friends. Vengeance clouded my mind. It would have consumed my, were it not for the wisdom of a few strangers, who taught me to look past my instincts. They never preached answers, but guided me to learn from myself.
We don't need anyone to tell us what to do. Not Savonarola, not the Medici. We are free to follow our own path."

Yes, that is a truly epic line, I'm glad I finished the game before downloading the DLC, as that feels a lot like a conclusion to the game.

I like this one too! it's pretty cool!

In terms of amusing quotes it has to be, "It's a me, Mario!" which has already been mentioned or perhaps when civilians shout "It's my lucky day!" in overly-Italian accents when you throw money.

I also love it when guards taunt you, saying something about how they'll soon be with your woman, before Ezio stabs them in a ruthlessly badass way with a counter-kill. Truly satisfying knowing he'll get nowhere near your woman

On a more serious note, much of Ezio's dialogue is pretty epic, especially many of the quotes in Latin/Italian (mainly during the Memory Corridors).

Oh and when citizens say stuff like "Life expectancy - I'd say about 3 months" as though they're an expert on life and death Sometimes the guards say, "What are you doing up here?! You belong on the ground, with the rats!" When they say that I climb back up and kill them.

From the first AC my favourites quotes would be:

"DIE INFIDEL!" - Guards

"Anyone can write a book. And they can put whatever they want on its pages. Used to be we thought the world was flat. Or that the moon landing was a hoax. I believe there's also a book, claims the world was created in seven days. Best seller too." - Dr. Warren Vidic

"He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow..."

If you think about it, that's what the whole Assassin's Creed series is about.
Knowing things TOO quickly for mankind's own good..
And now the Assassins have to put a stop to it.

My favorite line has to be when Ezio disturbs a guard and he says how much authority he has over you, "You can't take a shit without my permission!"

I can't help but laugh when I remember that, since I haven't been able to recreate it. It's only happened once.

"What's the matter? Oh yes, you're still breathing!"
-A guard shortly about to stop breathing himself.

"That will teach the cowards!"
-A monk cheering after I butchered about ten guards. A monk. Seriously.

Excuse my French here, but it is mandatory to get this line right:
Desmond "Is it Animuses, or Animi? What do you think Lucy?...Lucy?"
Lucy "Desmond. Shut the fuck up."

Minstrel *heavy Italian accent* "I hear money! Money, money MONEY!"

Those lines crack me up each time.

My fav is when your Desmond and he's following Lucy and sees many animuses

"is it animuses, animi?"
and Lucy says
"Desmond, shut the f*** up"

And then they occasionally cry with joy "It's'a my lucky day!" in said heavy Italian accent :')

Wait my new favorite is when I fought a guard and he said
"your mother must have been an ugly whore!"

I never heard it before I really did LOL

After replaying the game, I have a new favorite quote:

"What are you Desmond, a vegan? You'd be the first vegan assassin in history!" -Shaun Hastings

Haha, yeah, they'd better be more Sean snark in ACB!

just AWESOME! I also liked that one in the Bonefire Of The Vanities, what Ezio said after he assassinated Savonarola!

I remember something about guards saying Ezio's mom being a whore (...not as fun after ACB...) an then followed by "I could be your papa!"

Why has this not yet passed: "Rest, prepare, cry in the corner. Do whatever it is you do before a mission, only make sure you do it quietly."
Or the conversation where Altaïr shows his insight in the Creed. ("What is the world?" etc.)

AC1 Acre informer : "ohmygodpleasedon'tkillme! ...oh, it's you Altaïr"

"I envy you very much Altaïr, well, besides from the part when you were beaten and stripped of your ranks, I envy you very much! And except about what the other Assassin's say of you, yes besides from all those things, I envy you very much!" - Damascus Rafiq
(And yes, I probably remember the phrase wrong)

The Leonardo voice makes it even better
