I don't remember whether or not I posted about it here, but I've been totally obsessed with Assassin's Creed lately. I just got the Platinum Trophy for AC II a few days ago, and now I'm playing Brotherhood.
I know I'm super late to the series, but hey, the games are crazy cheap now, so it's good news for me!
Aaaanyway, I can't help but notice a few similarities. Like the guy in AC II has a weapon named Bianca, and the brothel from Brotherhood is called the Blooming Rose.
So does anybody know, do the two games share some writers? Or maybe it's a reference to the AC series?
Or are they coincidentally both referencing some historical/mythical/pop cultural thing that I just don't understand? XD
I know AC II has a lot of pop culture references so...
I would look it up, but I wouldn't know what to look for. XP

And on the high chance that nobody knows, are their any other AC fans in the guild?
Any other pop culture references you caught in DA II?

I'm a huge A:C fan, especially since it is developed by our guys here at Ubisoft montreal, and that I know some of the peeps working on it.

I'd have to check, but The witcher 2 (I know I am obsessed with that game lately. lol) have a body in a white robe like an assassin in a broken hay trailer dead (as in you do leap of faith in AC) and Geralt goes "Gee, they'll never learn"
For bianca and The Blooming Rose, I'll have to check.

It's possible that they're both referencing a third game. They both make other video game references.
