Dear Master of Assassins (again)

[bluegargantua]

Sir,

Actually, there's no one to write to. You turned out to be the bad guy in the first go-round and now it's a few hundred years later in Italy and I'm just doing stuff on my own.

I'm having a great time. All the crap that Altair had to put up with I don't. I can blend in with crowds and if there aren't crowds around, I can just hire a squad of prostitutes to distract the guards. I don't have to hump all over Italy to get from one place to another. Getting away from the guards is a lot less tedious than it was in the previous game. Better, I can actually perform kills from the hiding spots. Most welcome (especially now that I'm in Venice), I can actually swim!

The combat can still be a bit wonky and there are times when I seem to be jumping around like a spastic monkey when I really want to make a simple climb up, but I'm otherwise happy to be an assassin.

Yours,
Enzio

[ED: This game is a lot of fun and sucked away a lot of free time this weekend for me. I really want to grind out and finish this sucker.]

Ah, good. I actually really enjoyed AC1, even with its weaknesses, and I've been looking forward to AC2.

I'm in the middle of playing Dragon Age, so perhaps I will save AC2 for Chrismas break...
