'' '''Ezio:''' I do this not for myself. Compio questo sacrificio per il bene superiore. Requiescat in Pace. (I make this sacrifice for the greater good. Rest in peace.)'' }}
Line 158:
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Come on; ''listen'' to some of the things the rooftop thieves say about Ezio when he goes past.
** How about the Mercenary who presides over the Practice Ring in Monterrggioni?
{{quote|
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Some of the Templars.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Pope Alexander VI aka Rodrigo Borgia, Templar Grand Master can be considered this when he fights Ezio.
Line 234:
** And there's a mission where Ezio has to assassinate his target, who is in a monastery filled with his personal guards, who are disguised as monks. The name of the mission is "the cowl does not make the monk". Gee, I wonder what ''that'''s a reference to?
* [[Large Ham]]: The civilians, especially if you kill a guard nearby them.
{{quote|
** Bartolomeo. Seriously, just listen to his increasingly gruesome and hilarious rants while locked up in the jail cell.
{{quote|
** Also Caterina Sforza in the DLC. Try listening to her complete tirade, it involves tempting enemy soldiers to come over to her and try to grab her breasts so she can kick them in their balls so hard they'll fly out of their nostrils.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Take a good listen to that riff that plays when Ezio and Frederico are on top of that church - you'll be hearing it a couple more times throughout the game.
Line 259:
** "Ezio" is an Italian name that comes from the Greek word for "eagle". Ezio's last name is "Auditore"; an auditor is a bookkeeper; the Auditores are bankers.
* [[Mercy Kill]]: Ezio gets to do this to {{spoiler|Jacopo de'Pazzi after Rodrigo [[You Have Failed Me|gives him severe wounds]]}}, as well as to {{spoiler|Savonarola who is being burned alive by angry Florentines.}}
{{quote|
'''Ezio''': I did. }}
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Brutes and mercenaries.
Line 349:
* [[Soft Water]]: In addition to the Soft Hay from the first game, the trope is played perfectly straight. Ezio's ability to swim is added to the Assassin repertoire.
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]
{{quote|
* [[Spam Attack]]: One of the animations you can get if an enemy is killed with Hidden Blade normal attacks is Ezio stabbing him in the gut many times.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: In Carlo Grimaldi's backstory, we are told about how he became a confidante to a noble's daughter who was in love with a servant's son and wanted to run away with him. Grimaldi quickly rewarded the couple's trust by selling them out to the girl's father, to further his own political aspirations.
Line 366:
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: The Hidden Blade, and the {{spoiler|dual blade, poison blade and pistol upgrades.}}
* [[Take That]]: Someone in the development team (or just [[Deadpan Snarker|Shaun]]) might have a thing against travel agents.
{{quote|
** A (perhaps unintentional) example: Leonardo's explanation for being able to buy poison from a doctor makes sense on its own, but [[Worst Aid|if you know anything about 15th-century medicine...]]
* [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|Checco Orsi}} tries to do this.
* [[Talk to the Fist]]: Ezio does this with Duccio, Claudia's unfaithful lover, provided you [[Press X to Not Die|hit the attack button at the right moment]].
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Very early in the game, Ezio and his brother Federico take a quiet moment on top of a tower in Firenze to reflect on how good they have it and how lucky they are. It doesn't take long for the opposite of those reflections to be become true.
{{quote|
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That|The Hologram Knew You Would Say That]]: {{spoiler|Minerva. Very much so. Very, VERY much so. She even knows what someone would say, ''after her death''.}}
** {{spoiler|The hologram knew what your name would be.}}
Line 428:
* [[You Are Too Late]]: {{spoiler|...to save the Doge.}}
* [[You Cannot Kill an Idea]]: Altaïr's notes reveal that he mused on this subject more than once, noting that the Templars sought to conquer people not with swords and arrows, but with concepts and ideas. This makes it rather difficult for the Assassins to fight back... But it also makes it rather difficult for the Templars to exterminate them.
{{quote|
* [[You Get Knocked Down, You Get Back Up Again]]: Enemies won't attack a grounded Ezio. You don't have to return the favour.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: {{spoiler|Jacopo de'Pazzi}} gets this.
