Poll: Assassin's Creed 2: Ezzio's Married?

[newguy77]

Ezzio comes from a royal family so chances it's some kind of fashion statement for that time.

Yeah, maybe some kind of signet ring. Idea has potential.

 

[traceur_]

His family was killed by a rival family and he becomes an assassin to get revenge.

It COULD be a great back story or just a stupid romance shoe-in, only time will tell. Most likely he's just a pimp -ass Italian who likes bling (reinforced by his choice of clothing).

Yeah probably. Besides, have you ever tried convincing an Italian into a life of celibacy?

Hey the Italians pretty much started the Catholic church, a church known throughout the world for not letting any of it's officials get their freak on anybody............................................................................................................................Oh wait

In all seriousness as long as it is not the standard "ohhh they killed my wife so I'm gonna fill the void by killing those resposiable" kind of husband-wife interaction I think that it would be interesting if he had a wife.

So I just watched this Assassin's Creed 2 trailer examination video:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/assassins-creed-assassins-creed/51782

In the last couple of seconds, they reveal what I think to be the most important fact towards the game's story; Ezzio (our new Altair) not only has all his fingers intact, but he wears a wedding ring. Is he married?

This usually wouldn't be anything interesting, except for the fact that nearly every male, video game protagonist with a wife HAS said wife die during the course of the game. The last thing I want hear about this game is that we're going to have to play as YET ANOTHER main character who's seeking revenge for the death of his wife.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts. What are yours?

If you really want to play a protagonist who isn't out for revenge for their dead wife, just play Fable and be the one who kills your wife!

Then have a party and get everyone drunk!

Then steal everything they own!

It's a triple win!

OT: What happens if his wife isn't dead? Although they were hinting that there was something "really bad" that happens at some point to put him on the road to being an assassin so it might be his wife's murder...

IM going to have to go with this guy.

I mean have yo seen what he does after a finsiheds a person off?
The little "and you go now" hand push.

 

[Pimppeter2]

OHHHH. You mean the other types of pussies!!!

 

[Jandau]

Both Altair and Ezzio are ancestors of Desmond (or whatever the real main character is called), so it's only natural that the guys got someone lined up. Considering the average age of death at the times, you generally get married young or you don't get married. If anything, it makes sense...

 

[Contradiction]

Meh it doesnt really bother me at all the gameplay looks great although it appears that the story line has taken a fall anyway.
NO MORE DEATH CHATS!
its pure evil

 

[LogicNProportion]

Well, someone has to make the next generation of assassinating bastards. XD

 

[Spleeni]

Isn't it kind of important that the Assassins have wives/mistresses/lovers? We're told that this is one long family tree. I'll bet my shoes that by the third game, there'll be another chick for the future guy...unless they make us play as the pansy who was captured.

You don't like Desmond? What's wrong with him?

He never kills anyone! I demand all my characters to be involved in no less than 50 murders.

...and he takes forever to move. The transition from leaping around and generally being dashing, to being a slow prisoner who won't even try to escape certain death rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Danzaivar]

Since you play as an ancestor of desmond in the AC series, it makes sense they'd have the means to produce descendants.

edit: Why is there no 'good' option in the poll. You have negative, neutral and silly options, no 'This is a good thing' style options. >_>

I have a more important question
Why is it pronounced Etzio? wouldn't it make more sense as Eezio?

For the same reason it's pronounced "peetza" rather than "peeza." Those wacky Italians and their double zeds.

 

[IceStar100]

Sex quick timed event

XXB>>X missed X

Ezzio "I swear this has never happend before. It just well been so long and."

Wife *Turns over* "Shut up you impotant bastard."

Actually it's not a double zed, the name is Ezio; still, sometimes in Italian the 'z' is pronounced [ts] (as in "Ezio", "pizza"), sometimes [dz] (as in "zeta", "zona"). It's different from the normal 'z' pronounciation in English, that is [z].

Spoiler: Here's another possible reason.

The ring is the engagement of the hidden blade.
