Title says it all. What's your favorite persona from AC Brotherhood.
I'm not including a poll because there are more than 8 options. The choices are:
prowler
courtesan
priest
nobleman
executioner
doctor
barber
smuggler
engineer
captain
officer
harlequin
hellequin
blacksmith
thief
footpad
mercenary

With all those options, feel free to post your top 3 if you want.

The Doctor. All day errday.

 

[Evil Raccoon]

I'll go with the top 3:
1:Barber
2:Captain
3:Officer.

I have only ever used the hellequin but I like the look of the harlequin.

I like psycho looking ones and while the doc (among others) looks psycho, there is nothing like a brightly dressed person with a porcelain mask, with a scary/creepy smile, doing acrobatic kills.

No, I am not scared of clowns, why?

I like the Courtesan the most. She looks normal, so doesn't stand out like the Doctor and Harle/Hellequin (who all look cool, but are easy to spot in a crowd). The bladed fan is one of the cooler weapons, too.

Basically, I like any character that doesn't stand out too much. The Thief, Officer, and Footpad are great for this. It might be a small advantage, but having a character who blends into a crowd (even if not standing right next to an exact copy) is enough an edge to me.

Executioner, I'm sure he's a nice guy at heart.

My friend plays as the noble, the character is a tad creepy so killing him is all the sweeter, especially since my friend is rubbish online.

will people still be playing by the time i get the game at christmas?

theres also something i want to know. are there NPC's in the map for all of those characters? because it seems abit unrealistic that there happen to be harlequins, executioners, mercenaries etc in such a small space. also the fact that every copy of the same character has the same face.

This is explained in the game. The multiplayer is an "Abstergo training program" within an animus of their own. There exists many copies of characters so the trainees can pay attention to unusual behavior while also learning to blend in. It's actually a blast. The tension is incredible, due its' cat-and-mouse nature. Whenever I see another character start running or do anything unusual (stumble, suddenly move after standing still for a while, climbing), I freak out. You have to learn to tame that urge to instantly start running, as you'll more often end up exposing yourself.

Like me, I always hold the run button. I will be that mad fucker running a billion miles scaring the fuck out of everybody. Sadly it also means I am so easy to spot and be killed it's insane.

I haven't got brotherhood yet but is there an actual statistical difference between characters online?

 

[Grand_Arcana]

I like the Prowler, the Doctor, and the smuggler. I like the Officer too, but I'm neither European nor Australian.

 

[Woodsey]

Mine was the Priest (ironically) last time I played, although I haven't been on in a few days.

Yeah, I've found always running isn't a good tactic at all. You alert both your target and the person hunting you. I did have better luck doing this in the first part of the team game (they hunt us for the first round, then we hunt them). For some reason, they have an easy time killing me even if I blend in well and stand next to identical characters. I have much better luck in that mode by just running around on the rooftops. That way I can at least see when people are coming for me.

There's no statistical difference, but you can unlock abilities and alternative ability sets that suit your personal play-style. If you want to stick to the roof-tops, Templar Vision, Speed Boost, Throwing Knives, and the Hidden Gun are good choices. If you like to blend with the crowd, Disguise, Morph, and Decoy are good. There are other abilities as well.

No its purely for aesthetics, but everyone has their favorites and only one player can be one character.

[icejamez]

3. Captain

2. Prowler

1.Hellequin

By the way these are out of characters I have played ok? harlequin would probably be first if I had played him

Ps: I love killing nobleman because he is really creepy+ everyone who plays him just runs across the roofs. when I try to be sneaky all he does is go up there, so I HAVE TO GO HIGH PROFILE ( WHICH SCKS BAD)

3. Kitana aka Courtesan
2. Engineer, there's nothing like killing someone with a friggin compass.
1. Thief
