Present day being "Gordon Freeman-thing". Right, that's it, we're a first person mute. Because people -TOTALLY- identify with that and it makes for great immersion. Oh wait...

I do approve of de-gimmicking the Hidden Blade. I mean, who really thought Hidden-Flipping-Skinning-Knife was good?

I see I was right about the fleet being like ACB/ACR Apprentices.

Nice to hear our wiki's appreciated by the devs. Also, Alty is gonna flip when he hears about himself in this one.

Still, lots of hard questions were left out.
