Assassin's Creed: Revelations/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Just looked it up on Wikipedia. He was still in Italy before and during this game.

** He was in Milan until 1513, then he went to the Vatican to work with fellow [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Ninja Turtles]] Raphael and Michelangelo. By ''Embers'', he's dead (since 1519).

** Perhaps Piri Reis wasn't in a position to send the maps over -- say, in the middle of a Templar stronghold. Maybe what you're really doing is sending recruits to stage a break-in so Piri Reis won't look suspicious.

** This is [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the ''Assassin's Creed Revelations'' novel, where Ezio hopes, before meeting Piri, that he has forgotten about the time Ezio sent Assassin recruits to steal his plans.

* How is the coal dust a lethal bomb ingredient? I've tried every single combination of shells and powders available (not that many, admittedly), and I've only managed to kill three people with thunder bombs. Even then those three had to be caught unawares by a bomb using the British gunpowder. Everyone else just sort of coughed for a while, then went on trying to kill me. It seems more like a distraction ingredient than a lethal one.

** Eh? The fact that you killed three people with the thunder bombs does not mean that they're lethal?

*** I should've been more specific: I killed three separate people, each using a thunder bomb loaded with the strongest gunpowder. Everyone else in the blast radius just coughed and got ticked off. As mentioned, these three had to be caught off-guard. Compared to shrapnel and datura powder -- both of which will kill everyone within the blast radius regardless of whether they're caught unawares -- coal dust is hardly lethal.

** Think of it like that: They're the equivalent of mankind's gods. They are superpowered beings that can create reality warping objects just so they can enslave another races. Why would they think they could die? It's sort of like saying "The end of the world will strike at X date.". Normal people will get worried, but rich, powerful people with high chairs on the government will probably think "Hey, I think we can stop that. No way this disaster can actually destroy someone like me, right? [[Tempting Fate|Right?]]". They were probably too arrogant to think that any permanent harm could actually come to them.

*** Actually, that sounds pretty good.

* Altair's name is Altair Ibn Al'Ahad, or Altair, son of Al'Ahad. Yet in the first Maysaf memory, he introduces himself as Altair, son of Umar. Why the inconsistency?

** His last name means "son of none", and it's probably symbolic.
