Line 228:
** Ezio has the same issues as he did in ''AC2'' (although the Assassin emblem is no longer on his starting Hidden Blade vambraces and a stylized arrowhead -- albeit within the arch of the Assassin emblem -- against feathers or leaves is used for his front buckle), and while for "immersion's sake" one could use the Florentine Noble Attire (a Uplay Reward that makes Ezio look like he did in ''AC2'' before first donning the robes), it has no half-cape to conceal his main weapons in Low Profile and the Crossbow is still openly worn on his back.
** However, as with the previous game, when a guard is actively looking for Ezio, or Ezio is in a restricted area, the guards spot him instantly and will draw weapons in seconds and attack if he doesn't hide or move away quickly.
** This can be taken to ludicrous proportions with a couple unlockable outfits. Completing all the VR training with at least a bronze medal unlocks Raiden's outfit from [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]. Beating the game will give you the ability to play as Desmond even while in the Animus. Needless to say, neither of these fit well with the attire of those around you, but as they are both purely cosmetic changes, no one will notice you any more than wearing Ezio's default robes.
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: When Machiavelli questions how Ezio got the Thieves to help them again, Ezio only responds "virtu," which Machiavelli contemplates. The joke comes from the fact that this is a central concept in Machiavelli's [[Discourses on Livy]], which he will write in 1517.
** Later on, after Ezio becomes the head of the Assassins, Machiavelli says that he might write a book about him one day. Ezio then tells him "don't make it too long." ''The Prince'', Machiavelli's most well-known work, is only 100 pages long in most versions.
