Killing an attacker by herself – even after luring them down an empty alley – will raise her notoriety and create witnesses who apparently managed to see the commotion from street level, through a fence and two buildings. Should she venture down the wrong alleys, Aveline will be expected to totter her way over to the guards for help. Rich women are seen as easy prey by the city’s muggers. As befitting a lady of that stature, she wears a hoop skirt, which makes it impossible to climb or race through the streets. Getting the guards to look the other way is expensive though, costing thousands of écu in bribes, the probably-fictional currency used in Liberation.Īveline wears her Lady’s outfit to run her family’s trading business. On the other hand, this guise gives you the full range of movement and a full arsenal so the occasional suspicious look is easily dodged by nipping behind a chimney. The assassin outfit gives you notoriety level one simply by wearing it. Should you attract too much attention by, perhaps, inciting a riot or simply walking across a balcony in a funny way, posters will appear around the city for you to tear down, as per the previous AC games.
You’ll gain notoriety by doing such mundane things as accidentally grabbing a wall by running too fast but you’re the most easily hidden, with plenty of opportunities to grab a brush and get street-sweeping with your fellow scum slaves. At level three they’ll attack on sight and with fewer blending opportunities than the Ezio trilogy, this will seriously impede your progress.ĭressing as a slave allows you to slip past guard posts by carrying crates but you can only carry your hidden blades. Reach level two and they’ll confront you quickly. At level one, guards will eye you suspiciously. Of course, a slave would never be allowed to wear a proper gown, nor would a lady be seen carrying her own goods, so each persona carries its own level of notoriety.
As a black noblewoman of sorts in 1700’s New Orleans, Aveline can slip in and out of three different personas – the Lady, the Slave and the Assassin. The biggest difference between Connor and Aveline (besides the obvious) is her guises. I suppose that to a woman of African descent in a city beset with slave traders, few people are really innocent? Dress in Style and Go Hog Wild In fact, you’re required to kill innocent bystanders if you wish to stay anonymous. Where Connor (and Ezio and Altaïr) are discouraged from wantonly killing innocent civilians, Vita protagonist Aveline has no such compunctions. Liberation may share an engine and a time period with Assassin’s Creed 3, yet the tone of this game is vastly different. Should you ever find yourself sharing a town or even a swamp with this woman, get the hell out of there.
