Assassin's Creed: Ezios Doing Things!

While taking screenshots of NPCs doing things for my previous post, I also wound up with several of Ezio going about his business. Without further ado, here is a day in the life of a master assassin.


The hobbies of a master assassin include perfectly normal things such as boating...


Sightseeing...


Hanging out with friends...


A keen interest in health and fitness...


And taking the occasional small adventure.


"Hahaha! You thought the Cluster puzzles were over, but they are really JUST BEGINNING! You mad?!"

I hate you, Subject 16.


Nice mesh tearing you've got there. Ubisoft, I am disappoint.


Hm...


Look, I'm Jesus! :D


Leonardo doesn't like me anymore. I keep saying, "Hey, man! Heard any good rumors lately?" or "How about building me another flying machine that can drop bombs? I could really use one!" But he just gives me a disgusted stare and gets up and leaves. I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS, LEONARDO. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME WHEN THERE ARE STILL SO MANY THINGS IN THE WORLD THAT I HAVE NOT DROPPED BOMBS ON?


This NPC annoyed me, so he wound up in a fountain.


He was soon joined by a friend...


...And then several more friends. The overwhelming reaction of other cardinals to my viciously headbutting their fellows into submission and then chucking them in the water? A nervous, "Well, he looked like he deserved it!" See? Priests are just so punchable that even they acknowledge it.

At the end of a long, hard day, the master assassin returns to his hideout for a well-deserved rest. Unfortunately, there are no beds in his hideout and so he probably has to sleep on a chair or the cold marble floor.


Then again, perhaps the master assassin is like a shark and sleeps while moving. And killing. Either way, he does not have a bed in his hideout.

Assassin's Creed: NPCs Doing Things!

When they aren't behaving in ways that make you question the sanity of whoever coined the term "artificial intelligence," the NPCs in this game can be almost scarily lifelike. I've been taking random screenshots of them engaged in the aforementioned scarily lifelike behaviors because it is so neat.


For example, these NPCs are having a picnic!


So are these.


These NPCs have found love.


This NPC does not approve of my corpse disposal locations.


This NPC adores his lantern.


Either these NPCs have found love, or the one in the pink dress has found a hairdresser. I'm not sure which.


These NPCs do not know what to make of Ezio's attempts at blending in with them.


These NPCs are just hanging out on a flight of stairs, enjoying the view. The view of what, you may ask?


The view of this. Yeah, I had to stop and enjoy it for a little while too.


These NPCs cannot seem to agree on the nuances of fence repair.


These NPCs don't know when to quit. They are the Assassin's Creed equivalent of the Adoring Fan, and I hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand exploding suns.


To round it off, they occasionally travel in packs. ARGH!


These NPCs are drunk!


These NPCs were attempting to have a romantic, starlit evening out in the country, looking at the sky and whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears, but I think that Ezio's creeping may have ruined it.
