Troubling consequence of writing Slaughterhouse: I now feel really, really bad about using the hallucinogenic darts in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. They're a very useful tool! But they're also a bit horrible.
A delightful bit of apparent miscommunication between people working on this game: in the final murder mystery, you come across a plan of a building on a wall. The clue description, when you inspect it, says that the study has been circled in black. On the plan itself, though, it's very clear that there's no circle; the study has a black X through it instead. Whoever writes the player character's internal observations (which hover in the air next to clues) evidently picked up on this, because, rather than just saying 'study circled', it says 'study ...circled...'
I've now completed Assassin's Creed: Syndicate! My spoilery notes on the game are below the cut. Non-spoilery verdict: this game is great fun and the Frye twins are the best. Maybe my favourite Assassin's Creed?
(I wrote these notes as I went along, so they might be a bit disjointed.)

Back in 2014, when I was writing my Naegi sibling reunion fic for Dangan Ronpa, I actually made the mistake of consulting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
th_esaurus on it:
Riona: This thing I'm writing is literally just 'the Naegi siblings hug'. Where can I go with this fic?
RD: ...
Riona: ...DON'T ANSWER THAT.
RD: You know what my answer will be.
Riona: I know! That's why I'm telling you not to answer!
RD: Then why did you ask?
Riona: It was a momentary lapse in judgement!
RD: Look, they don't have to have sex or anything! They can just cuddle creepily! Just make it creepy!
After that brief and possibly confusing excursion outside the cut tags, we're jumping back in to talk in detail about one of the late-game assassinations.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
wolfy_writing, if you're reading this entry, you should watch this video of the assassination in question before reading on. Spoilers for the end of Sequence 8.
( More spoilers for Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. )
In conclusion: excellent game. I'm sad it's over, but I'm happy with the way it ended. And I love the Frye twins. I really wish they'd had more missions together.
I must write a Pokémon crossover immediately.
