What's this? Desmond Miles and Ms. Stillman together in catacombs?
Isn't Desmond usually sitting in the Animus while Lucy is pressing some buttons?
Yeah sure, this will happen again in AC:Brotherhood, Desmond has to remember, otherwise there wouldn't be a second adventure
for Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
But the former barkeeper Desmond has come a long way as he can now see the past without the Animus.
His view is blurry, almost see-through, but that's better than nothing.
The Condition for his remembering: In AC:Brotherhood, Desmond and his assistant moved to Monteriggioni,
Ezio's old hiding place in Tuscany, along with all of their science fiction gadgets.
Finally a fitting ambience for the Animus and Desmond Miles' exciting family history.
So what is AC:Brotherhood all about?
A new personal vendetta.
Ezio's village gets torn down by the Borgias and their army.
After the events of AC2, the Borgias have a bone to pick with the assassin.
After the destruction of Monteriggioni Ezio sets off for Rome to take revenge on the Borgias.
They originated from Spain and it was only through some of their family members becoming pope
that they managed to spread in Italy enough to make everybody afraid of them.
Even Ezio's friend Machiavelli, whom the history books portray pretty hard-boiled, seems to be afraid.
To use the stables mentiones by Machiavelli, Ezio has to end the Borgias' reign in the respective borough
by stabbing the guard and blowing up the watchtower.
In AC:Brotherhood Ezio gets to blow up several of those watchtowers.
He can but doesn't have to because - as far as we know - these "free the borough missions" are mostly optional.
Just like the following revival of closed down shops.
An art dealers shop like this one just serves the beautification of Ezios place in Rome.
A little street pharmacy however is a lot more useful as it's a lot healthier.
However, AC:Brotherhood doesn't only differ from AC2 in location, borough-freeing and a few fighting details.
As the tile suggests, in 'Brotherhood' Ezio isn't alone -or rather- doesn't have to be alone.
On his behest he is supported by assistant assassins he previously hired and may send on a training tour through Europe.
And how does the story go on?
Well that's something we just can't tell you in detail yet.
But the bits and pieces we were able to check out at events
almost convinced us by 100% that AC:Brotherhood doesn't miss any of AC2s dramaturgy.
And honestly, a game which allows to to kill at a Roman *** simply can't be bad.
