One of my least favorite things about the first game was the protaganist himself, Altair.
" Look at me im so BA everyone else sucks! Also, I speak without any sort of accent unlike everyone else around me. Hows that possible? CAUSE IM SO AMAZING ZOMG I LOOOOVE MYSELF!!! GAAH!! " Made me sick. Ezio is an educated man, a cultured man. He's suave, he's slick, he's a ladies man. Altair came off as more of the A-Sexual type. I definately am looking forward to seeing if Ezio is as smooth as Ubisoft is making him out to be. Your thoughts? |

My thoughts?
I need to play the game first, Ubi likes to describe everything over the top. And I mean, way over. Well, though, they're devs! They're supposed to do that. |

From what I've read & seen, I like Altair's character better. Not the accent though. Ezio's character isn't all that appealing, but apparently he becomes more 'assassin like' later on.
Anyway, I think you should post this into an existing thread.  We are all books containing thousands of pages, and within each lies an irreparable truth. La shai wak'ion motlaq bal kollon momken. |

I didn't like Altair. That's because he was so, so naïve and well.. pretty stupid.
I won't like Ezio that much either if he's going to be over the top suave, slick and/or ladies man. I'd prefer a professional. And nah, Lost. It's the marketing department that usually describes everything over the top.. |

Reason Altair is like that is likely due to a bad history or wasn't able to attend school. 2. you havn't heard any type of voice from ezio so how will you know it won't be stuck up like altair 3. ezio's background is rich so was possible he has attended school and has not had a rough history This message has been edited.

I love the Renaissance Man idea for Ezio, you can't really compare two characters coming from such different cultures and times. But yes, Ezio being more educated is probably a more appealing character to the eye, I mean, who doesn't love Leonardo Da Vinci? The paradigm of the Renaissance.(don't forget, I'm sure Altair had his education, a more religious one maybe, he was taught to be a killing machine not to be a Noble Educated man).

yeah but the fact that he HAS attended school and isnt uneducated is what makes him appealing. hes smart, that much we know. Altair, skillful as he was, was not a very smart man. And arrogance was his bedmate. Altair may have had a troubled past, none of us really know, but the character overall was not a protagonist that I could relate to in any way, nor did I feel any real connection with him. I cared about the story sure, but mostly for Desmond's sake, not Altair's. I could've cared less what happened to him.

btw, welcome to the forums Drag_Harlen,
i see Altair as a kid that's been grown up around voilence and being islotated so that he needed to protect and care for himself,till he met the Creed and joined them and there he saw Al Muliam as a mentor or more as of a guardian/dad "Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. " |

Uh, you don't need to go to school to be smart/not naive. And when did I claim I know what Ezio is gonna be like? |

uhh if you read it through i was talking to Drag, not you
sorry if you thought i was talking to you, i was just lazy to use quotes  "Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. " |

True. |

It's just you.
 I still give Ezio the benefit of the doubt since I haven't gotten to know him all that much yet, but from what I've heard I much prefer Altaïr. Yes he was pretty foolish, a bit rough on the edges and over confident. But that only made him all the more attaching and I really liked how you could feel him change and grow as a person throughout the game. And I like "a bit rough on the edges" way more than I like "smooth" anyway. Oh, and actually Ezio seems way more self-centered than Altaïr, for some reason. And personally, I'm even a bit afraid the game might center on Ezio and his personal vendetta a tad too much for my taste - I just hope in the end it is still "Assassin's Creed" and not "Ezio's Vendetta". (Funnily enough, from what I've seen around the internet so far, guys tend to like Ezio while girls seem to prefer Altaïr. Looks like the obvious "ladies-man" is not always the actual "ladies-man"...  )--- New AC2 content for those without webcams: Frag EFBUI Frag IFSP Frag VQHSBEF Frag GMZ Frag BOBUPNZ Missed something?

I agree, Altair has a better character. We are all books containing thousands of pages, and within each lies an irreparable truth. La shai wak'ion motlaq bal kollon momken. |

Personally, I liked Altair. I've kind of 'grown up' with him, known him better. That kind of character appeals to me - somewhat like the Batman(rough, angry, etc.). And, oh - I love your blog! Keep it goin'! |

I'm sure Ill like them equally, however you can't pass a real judgement till the game arrives, so i wont be taking a side.
 Questions are not necessarily there to be answered, but possibly there to inspire thinking. |

For now, Altair, for familiarity and the fact that he's shown as a bit of a psycho in the early stages of the game. "My way is better." I like that attitude in a hero-to-be, and the contrast with his later words.
Until we'e seen Ezio in action, I'm not setting that in stone though. ----- V^^^V ----- I want my meals to think for myself. |

i think not. i think that altair seem's cooler.. Ezio is more,, yeah i dont got a word for it. but it's missing something.
wait. i take a good look at hem. and i think they are both cool. i forgot it was a other age |

Just....No.
Altair is the more Badass character - smooth, professional and straight to the point. He's got years of practice but can be quite friendly around mates (you'd know this if you played Altair's Chronicles) so he only comes off that way if you've never played the prequel. Ezio is the "Count of Montecristo" here, which is VERY cool, and possibly more friendly and interesting than Altair, but not as kickass, that's for sure. Neither is better, they're just different (which is good). |

Based on appearances...
Ezio would look better at parties etc, since his clothes are fancier, less intimidating and therefore less suspicious. If I was on a mission however I'd go with Altair, since his clothes are easier to move in. As for character, nothing definitive yet. We'll just have to wait & see.

I have no problems with Altair's personality.
He's cool.  AC2 is not released yet so I cant judge Ezio.  The new Prince of Persia Lightbringers [Cathy,Cristi,Bobby, Max,Harry and Michelle] All will be lost...like tears in the rain.Time to die. |
