Assassin’s Creed Liberation should borrow some boar skins from Far Cry 3

Posted by on January 9, 2013 in Games

So I finally earned enough money in Assassin’s Creed Liberation to buy the pocket pistol for Aveline to carry when she’s wearing her lady’s outfit. Now she can use it to defend herself from the thugs who accost her in the rougher parts of New Orleans. I earned the money by running an East Indiaman cargo ship full of ice from England to the New World, and then returning with Haitian spices.

And where does Aveline carry her new pocket pistol? See if you can spot it in the screenshot up there.

Sweetie, no, everyone can see that. For a lady who has a blowgun hidden inside her parasol, that’s awfully indiscreet. You should sew yourself a nice holster or something.

    That is one tiny musket.

    You paid how much to buy a gun that you ‘hide’ where? This takes conspicuous consumption to a whole new level.

    Sweetie? No, Tom Chick. Just no. And sewing? Seriously? She’s an assassin. Take this sexist crap and cram it.

  • tomchick

    Good point. There’s no reason she can’t also cook a meal for the other assassins.

    Is it really “sexist crap” if the whole point of the outfit is to embody an 18th century lady of the upper class? As such a lady, she’d probably know how to sew, sing, play piano, and a great many other things. She’s more than just an assassin.

    Besides, do current female stereotypes involve sewing anymore? If I met someone who could sew these days, I’d be surprised and fascinated.

    Well, I’m glad it didn’t take a lot of song and dance for you to confirm your misogyny.

    Um, both Connor from AC3 and Jason from Far Cry 3 “sew” equipment upgrades. By your logic, does that mean Tom thinks that they’re sissies?

    Trolls gonna troll.

  • tomchick

    What’s wrong with misogyny? Because I personally believe people of different races should be able to marry.

  • tomchick

    To be fair, Jason from Far Cry 3 is a sissy.

  • KeysE2S

    Tom, you’ve got it all wrong. Misogyny is when you hate Japanese soup. Why do you hate Japanese soup?

    That is so sad. I am shedding a little musket tear.

    Connor doesn’t sew equpiment upgrades, the people on his homestead do.
