I'm still trying to trudge my way through the first AC, since people tell me 2 is much better. I knew this video would probably ruin something from any of the preceding three games, and I still watched it. That's how much I love this series. You're welcome.
It's not entirely clear she's dead. You have a good ten minutes to bleed out from the abdomen (baring an artery nick) before you dies from blood loss.
Plus, she was definitely the default romantic interest of the game. Development means nothing in this world...
It's stated explicitly later in the game that she died.
THANKS FOR RUINING THE GAME FOR ME...
Eh... at least something interesting happened between them...
Main character coming off as a blob with no personality to speak of? Why not try all-new GIRLFRIEND-MURDERTM? Yes, GIRLFRIEND-MURDERTM is specifically designed to get your fanbase mildly interested in what turns out to be the main character of the series. If you don't see results in 4-6 games, just send it back; we offer a full-retcon guarantee. (Note: Warranty is render invalid if you make a game with an Aboriginal badass.)
On topic, "Basic physics"? While I'm not employed at CERN, I'm fairly certain 'giant floating monoliths' do not come under that heading.
canadamus_prime: Ok I haven't been playing the Assassin's Creed games, so who the hell was that? No, not Desmond, I know who Desmond is, I mean the other guy.
Also yeah, waking up to the voice of John De Lanci is never a good sign.
It's 16 - if you haven't been playing the games that probably doesn't mean much but here:

Where else would he be, if not in the Animus? He's on a tiny island with rocks floating off in the distance and objects and people digitizing in and out. Maybe the matrix? But that's one hell of a crossover story.

Well, if she's not dead, the funeral they discuss in AC:R is gonna be a bitch, man. Of course, that whole "no, it's not the girl next to you" bit at the end of Brotherhood, shortly before the bit with the stabbing didn't leave much room for her to be around and helping.
TheBobmus: I'm much more of a fan of white hoodie Desmond.

The black version seems like a needlessly cliché mourning nod to Lucy.
I remember quite clearly that he was in a white hoodie at the end. He's only in black because Animus. The real body was in a white hoodie.

Indeed he was, I simply misremembered. Thanks for the correction.
I never actually played this one or Brotherhood but Yahtzee was right about Desmond looking more and more like Adam Sandler. Also...that walking cutscene towards the end looked really, really bad to me. Wooden and, completely phones in, like one of the conversations from Knights of the Old Republic only you can see both parties instead of one face at a time.
I was considering whether to read the comments or not for fear of spoilers but I guess if I really cared about it I would have finished the game by now. At least this way I get an off chance of reading a pun.

That walking part was playable, not a cutscene.
Only sort of. The player starts the walking, but then the game kind of takes over again, with the camera spinning around them.
I may be one of the few people who haven't yet played any Assassin's Creed game. For a newcomer, even with all the ham-fisted exposition going on, the story makes not a lick of sense. What the heck where the writers of this game smoking?
