    Connor`s such a jerk that he builds an Inn for 2 travelers he`s such a jerk that he helps a man being mugged, he`s such a jerk that he sacrifices his revenge for the Colonists` freedom, he`s such a jerk that he saved entire American cities in the east coast from Templars, he`s such a jerk that he grants a dying Biddle his wish of not taking the Randolph as a prize, He`s such a jerk that he saves a woman from her harassing husband, he`s such a jerk that he saves a foreigner from bullies, he`s such a jerk that he liberates the entire cities of Boston and NY, he`s such a jerk that he provides 2 farmers with a new farm, he`s such a jerk that he funds a house of worship that is not of his belief, he`s such a jerk that he saves Prudence from a bear,

    he`s such a jerk that he helps Norris with his love life, he`s such a jerk that he risked his life bringing Achilles his painting and old robes, he`s such a jerk that he travels to Boston and New York simply to bring materials for the homesteaders, he`s such a jerk that he refuses to call the homesteaders his townsfolk, preferring to instead call them his friends, he`s such a jerk that he`s the first protagonist to offer an Assassin-Templar alliance, he`s such a Jerk he built an entire town for colonists and gave them new lives. He`s such a Jerk that he`s happy for the Colonists when they win their freedom, he`s such a jerk that he gives Lee a chance for one last drink, he`s such a Jerk that he stops Putnam from kicking Hickey after his death, teaching us all that no matter how low a human being sinks, "still a man"....MAN, Connor is SUCH a selfish jerk

    Presumably the apple is made of moving parts that maneuver themselves around the struts of the staff.

    We see the door to the vault opening, then it jumps to gameplay. I guess that's when Ezio removed the apple, must have been an oversight to not show it, either in the cutscene or in gameplay.

    Ezio abandoned his blade in Altair's library, where Altair's apple was. We know that Abstergo found that apple, therefore they must have found the blade too, and Lucy got it from them.

    As for ACB, all that that is, is that Desmond has removed the bracer/covering/call it what you will, and kept the blade mechanism part of it.

    Desmond getting Ezio's hidden blade in AC2, then changing to a simpler design in ACB is even weirder considering you actually find Ezio's hidden blade at the modern Monteriggioni in ACB. Speaking of those objects, I sure hope their significance will be explained somehow in AC3. Why did Desmond collect them in the first place and what happened to them after the gang left the villa?

    I don't think the way the Apple fits the Staff is all that strange. It's just a round hole in the middle where the Apple supposedly aligns itself to snap into place once it makes contact with the Staff. Ezio having the Apple in his pocket after entering the Vault is clearly an oversight, though.

    But is not the hidden blade of Ezio. It 'a hidden blade any, and then amended during travel is likely. The only difference is that in ACB has the plaque removed.
    On this land, I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me is the outsider. In the name of Liberty, I will fight the enemy, regardless of their allegiance. While men of courage write history of this day, the future of our land depends on those who are truly free.

    ^ wouldn't count on it. Modern blade designs from the Encyclopaedia show that the modern hidden blades were very well hidden. They wouldn't make one to look like Ezio's then go "Crap, we forgot that it is too conspicuous!"

    Well, he is pretty new to the whole "Assassin" thing. He had some training as a kid, but I don't think he ever had a hidden blade, so he wouldn't know any better.

    The thing that you see on Desmonds wrist is a vembrace, the actual hidden blade is just a simple leather strap on device. The second video here is just the hidden blade without the vembrace cover. A vembrace is a piece of armour that you can buy seperate at the blacksmith.

    No you don't... You find his belt. He ditched his hidden blades in Altair's library. So presumably, it's in Templar hands, since they somehow got in the library, took the Apple, and then destroyed it in that DIA satellite incident. Although I guess you could argue that if the Templars had the blade, it could have made it to Abstergo, where Lucy could have taken it, and given it to Desmond...

    But honestly, they probably just didn't feel like rendering a new hidden blade design for Desmond to use for all of thirty seconds.
