Ah, but that's where you're wrong. There was a point early on in AC2 where Ezio was, in fact, carrying a box.Rex Dark said:He hasn't absorbed the memories of any ancestors that knew how to carry crates yet.

Although I guess that it could be argued that Desmond hasn't absorbed the necessary level of box-carrying-skills to be able to carry boxes himself.
minor nitpick: that was Caterina Sforza that Ezio had just nailed at the beginning of Brotherhood, but you're otherwise spot on. I believe the first two apprentices you get in Brotherhood are women, as are, I think, half of the Assassin recruit side missions in Revelations.The Gentleman said:Not to mention that the Assassins have been remarkably progressive in terms of gender equality and the few female characters of note outside the Assassins were all very strong women, and Ezio's second game has him bedding one (Christina) before he even makes Rome in the greatest "why exactly do we have to get all this gear again" explanations ever...Gammaj4 said:I was going to argue that influential women, while not unheard-of, have been relatively few and far between for most of history, but then I remembered that this is a series in which the main character enters the memories of his ancestrors through his DNA. Realism has long since ceased to be a priority of any kind.The Gentleman said:Has anyone noticed that Desmond only has male ancestors?
Bring on the animus-powered genderbend!
I remember that from either AC:II or Brotherhood, but I think she said Hessian (or was it Prussian?).Aptspire said:"Only if their life was cool"
Actually, at one point, Rebecca writes that she tred the Animus, but her ancestor was a redcoat on a firing line, and it was just too boring...
They could have also had Minerva say "Pull my finger" or "Kneel before Zod!", but I think those were too obvious.Rblade said:you, miss, have a funny hat!
Also when they get out of the van it's a bright sunny day.Thunderous Cacophony said:OT: Surprised you didn't tear apart the foggy 'weather' outside the van. Seriously, every cutscene in the van is just them sitting there, driving through that think white soup, with the same damn tree passing them every 6 seconds.
There's also the fact that they pick characters for you to play as from history who either don't exist, or drop off the history books. So there really isn't any reason why we shouldn't be able to play as a woman.Gammaj4 said:I was going to argue that influential women, while not unheard-of, have been relatively few and far between for most of history, but then I remembered that this is a series in which the main character enters the memories of his ancestrors through his DNA.

I don't remember that...
Well, I guess not enough of that skill has been absorbed...
Not enough to name the game Boxcarriers Creed at least.
