When basim gave eivor ammon's hidden blade, hytham protested against it by saying to basim: "this is deeply unorthodox".
Was hytham right?
I replay Mirage in total synchronization, so I focus mainly on the story mission and remark that, like Valhalla, Mirage has some allusion and parallels with AC1.
(Al-Ghul = Talal/Abu'l Nuqoud) A slaver who speaks from a balcony to a crowd.
(Al-Rabisu = Jubaïr/Garnier de Naplouse) A scholar organizing the burning of books and experimenting on patients.
(Al-Pairika = Tamir/Sibrand) A merchant working in a bazaar and blocking the port.
(Al-Mardikhwar = Guillaume de Montferrat/Majd Addin) A person who argues with the city governor before a fortress and who organizes executions.
(Al-Bahamut = Robert de Sablé) Trying to ally with the city governor to eliminate the Assassins and using a woman to lure the protagonist.
(Roshan = Al-Mualim) Confront his apprentice in the Assassin headquarters.
I said that Basim is an anti-Altaïr as their stories are inverted
Altaïr is arrogant, selfish, and disillusioned with the Creed and rediscovered the meaning of being an Assassin.
Basim wanted to help and be a Hidden Ones, but through the story, he became disillusioned and wanted to become more at the end.
In a way, both rediscover what they were.
What do you think?
I remember basim talking about finding his children in the modern day, that could mean his children probably survived the great catastrophe, but how?
Unless he mean their remains.
I request answers from @Aiden Pearce Ashcroft and @Sol Pacificus icus but anyone can give me their thoughts on this topic
I'm dyslexic so please bear with me!
The fact that basim is left to be only half a character in mirage was almost entirely due to ubisoft ignoring his norse heritage. Basims story starts with loki and his motivation is based on his past as loki. His struggle in mirage is still based on his past as loki... but mirage seems allergic to the mention of a norse god. They say that thay love Basims character and that this is his game bur leave the narrative empty and hard to understand if you haven't played valhalla because they refuse to explain his story.
The lead writer says its because that was valhalla and this is mirage a story around baghdad... but this isn't about baghdad it's about basim... and basim is loki... its so stupid because basim is a cool character who connects two different cultures but ubisoft who keep talking about diversity disconnected basim from his north European heritage outside of a nod or two in his charicter design.
Ironically ubisoft just ended up appropriating the norse/germanic culture for arabia... while when basim finally got the spot light and valhalla had a lot of arabic culture in it, mirage wasn't ready to do the same... it feels both disappointing and to be honest a little racist. I can't help but think if basim wasn't a god linked to white people it would have featured in mirage. This on top of the fact mirage had a trailer only in arabic so if you are dyslexic like me you get screwed but hay ubisoft can white Knight so it's all cool... and basims skin was darkend too.
We could have seen basims dad getting removed because he fell in love with a slave from Norway England or Denmark... but we get no depth and no new information on who basim is... nothing we didn't already know from valhalla... its just sad. Ubisoft did a great character dirty, plain and simple.
So do any of you guys think that basim will try to manipulate the brotherhood? Personally I think he will eventually try but fail
Are sages and "reborn isu" the same thing?
What is the difference?
What if they do a DLC based on Mesopotamian mythology? Instead of Arab and Persian folklore because Baghdad is located in Mesopotamia and honestly, I loved the Mythological DLCs or one about Iltani, Alexander the Great's assassin.
I also miss the Discovery Tours, it could be like in Assassin's Creed: Origins, where we could learn about Baghdad's history and the Islamic Golden Age to understand the historical contexts of the game like the Zanj rebellion and the Anarchy of Samarra.

Happy Lunar Year!
This armor should be included in Assassin's Creed: Mirage!

It could be about the Sumerian hero Gilgamesh whereas is Assassin's Creed: Mirage set in Baghdad, Mesopotamia (the land of Ancient cultures before the arrival of the Persians and Arabs such as the Sumerians or the Akkadian-speaking Babylonians and Assyrians but also the hero Gilgamesh).
There, we could meet or even play Gilgamesh and some characters from his epic like his friend Enkidu, Shamhat, or even Utnapishtim (the inspiration for Noah in the Jewish and Christian faith, and Prophet Nuh in the Muslim religion) plus it could answer some questions about him in the lore like his relationship with the Isu like Inanna or Ishtar, and Marduk.

However, due to the Persian (Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian) heritage of Baghdad and Mesopotamia but also an outfit inspired by the Persian hero Rostam of the Shahnameh epic by Ferdowsi, there could be a DLC, where Basim could meet some of the heroes of the epic like Rostam or Zāl but also characters of Persian history such as Cyrus the Great, Darius III, Surena, and Khosrow II.

Does William Miles know that Basim is Loki? Considering that he asks for his blood back in Valhalla and uses Basim's blood and access the Animus in Mirage (I presume it's William who uses the Animus in Assassin's Creed: Mirage) to look through who Basim was in the past, my question is; does William Miles know that Basim is Loki by then?
If so, I have no idea how would this impact the Assassins and the story in future Assassin's Creed games, since in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Basim wanted to "bring his family back together", to find his children if they were still alive ever since the Great Catastrophe and when he is reunited with his lover Aletheia...
I love the parkour stealth graphics and story 😍
Combat could be a bit better and not much to do once all the contracts are done
Overall Assassin's Creed Mirage is awesome to me 😎 9/10
Assassin's Creed Mirage is my 2nd favorite Assassin's Creed game ever 😎
Now bear with me for a second I know this might be a dumb question but, *SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED AC MIRAGE TO THE END*
__________________________
when Loki said: "a new world awaits" at the end was he referring to the "new world order", or his plan to seek for his children?
"This memory I buried of this place, this prison, the torture I suffered here, it festered for years, in darkness and dreams, masked as a jinni, to haunt me and hollow me, until it consumed my waking life. But I have faced my past. My pain. Embraced it. I shed my skin once, in another time, another place. But I am whole again. I remember. And as for those who thought to bind me, should any of them still walk the earth, I so look forward to our reunion. But until that day, a new world awaits."

What do you think it is? The return of the Isu or the far future (2050 AD?) but I discovered that the scene was going to have some dialogue of some Animus operators which means that Basim's memory is part of the Infinity or Nexus project and that Assassin's Creed: Mirage is the prologue of the stories of Assassin's Creed: Infinity or Assassin's Creed: Nexus? What do you think?
