That's actually a good point; in all Assassin Creed games, the main protagonist has had a beaked hood. Edward doesn't. Eagles have been key parts of the identities and stories of the protagonists. Is there an in-game reason for the apparent lack of Eagle homage or is this just an attempt to stray away from the same old-same old?
