No courtesans? | Forums

[medcsu11]

Just read that courtesans will be replaced by "gypsy" bands as being a courtesan was illegal in Constantinople. I am pleased to see they are staying as close to accurate as possible...but.....gypsy bands?!

Will it be like your own minstrel (the annoying bastids from AC2/B) crew that will drive guards crazy enough to kill them? Ideas...ideas...

Better yet, the gypsy band should be a group that you send at guards that, in a singing wave, go with "I have no money sir, Im poor and sick and hungry". Guards would have no choice but to kill them for the annoyance.

Perhaps not a band as in a musical band, but rather as in say a band of thieves.

You're right I was just being funny, or trying to be.
Imagine this with a musical flare. Epic.

Romani is the actual term for a gypsy, as the term 'gypsy' is kinda considered offensive but yeah I get what you're saying I do hope for the Romani bands that they try to keep it close to what they actually are.

I will miss the Courtesans though, they were a fun bunch.

What if they just follow you around singing a song about your day and it makes you look so badass that the guards just back away and bow to your excellence.

The Romani (gypsies) are seen in the E3 walkthrough, they're the group just to the left of the guards Ezio destroys with his first bomb.

So instead of treasure, we collect gypsy tears!? There is a God!

That would be awesome in an AC game.
