Yantelope V2 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) So according to this: http://en.wikipedia....rchive_Synopsis Reveal hidden contents Lucy was really a Templar and that's why the apple forced you to kill her? http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/664119-***MAJOR-quot-THE-LOST-ARCHIVE-quot-SPOILERS***-Lucy-Now-that-s-just-lazy-story-writing-Forums Reveal hidden contents Seems more people are arguing that Ubi is making it up as they go along and I tend to agree with them on that point.

Yeah, though there's a little more to it than that link implies. Reveal hidden contents Basically the Assassins cut her off at 16 as a long-term sleeper agent so no one could ever trace her back to them. She came to resent the Assassins for abandoning her, and to believe that the Templars really were doing the right thing. The Templars have always been well-intentioned, but the Assassins believe that freedom is more important than peace. Lucy just came over to the Templars' point of view.

Strangelove Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Reveal hidden contents Are you fucking kidding me? They left out an important detail like that for dlc? They basically explained the most shocking part of the ending of the previous game with dlc for the current one.....so so lame. Its also pretty lame that they made her into a Templar. It sounds like they made it up on the spot and didnt plan it to have been this way. I dont even mind that she died, but I think she died too early. Lucy, Ezio and Desmond are the only real interesting characters in the entire series. 3 games and thats really all they have so far as characters go. And now one of them is dead..and a templar. Lame. I hate you, Ubisoft. Edited March 27, 2012 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm sure it will be covered in the beginning of AC3 too for people who didn't play the DLC. The DLC centers around Subject 16, and that's just one of the things that are revealed about him. I'm sure he'll tell this stuff to Desmond, this just shows how 16 learned it.

Yantelope V2 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Reveal hidden contents Yeah, that was the big cliffhanger ending of AC:B and they handled it in the most piss poor way possible by showing you absoluetly nothing of the events afterward and explaining nothing outside of the lost archive. This had better be a red herring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbassman39 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 In the original AC I couldn't stand Desmond's story. To me, I saw it as a way of introducing the time period and everything. It was boring. Then AC2 came along and the same thing, that is until we started to see more of desmonds training/story. I started to enjoy the character, and by the end of Brotherhood I was more interested in Desmond than I was in Ezio. Ezio was still interesting, but Desmond's story had my attention. Especially the modern day climbing. (should that go spoiler? I'm trying to keep it vague) Going to give Revelations a try when it's cheap enough and I make a break in my backlog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah, originally the only reason for the modern day setting and the animus is that the lead designer was retarded and felt obligated to explain away the video game elements like the HUD, so he came up with the animus, which is why you don't have the HUD and stuff in the modern day segments. Since then, however, I've become interested in the modern day plot, but I think overall the series could potentially have been cooler without that being shoehorned in at the beginning. *Edit* - It would be like a movie maker making a film a faux documentary because he felt obligated to explain away the lens flare rather than because artistically that's how he wanted the movie to be.

Hot Heart Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Problem with Desmond is that he is incredibly boring. He was a device more than a character. I was intrigued by the metanarrative stuff but not the characters involved. I've heard Revelations builds on that (a little), but I am past caring. I'll still be playing ACIII eventually though.

Hot Heart Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Reveal hidden contents I always figured Lucy would wind up being revealed as a Templar. I can't remember what it was specifically, but I got some sort of feeling from Brotherhood. Plus, how friggin' easy was it to 'escape' both those times in ACII?

TCP Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 So how's the Lost Archive DLC? I haven't really heard anything about it. Is it more block puzzles or traditional 3rd person adventuring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's the first-person block puzzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get that impression in AC1 or 2. Reveal hidden contents Ease of escape seems silly though considering how easy it is to kill everyone in the whole game. It's no harder storming a heavily fortified castle. Also, why would abstergo launch an attack on you and you have to flee at the end of AC2?

Reveal hidden contents I'm not really using that as evidence (although, it fits the theory) but I always figured there'd be some traitor within the group. It could be argued that the 'ease of escape' thing is more about selling the idea that Lucy really is helping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
