  • All the cut scenes and narrative gameplay for individual characters from Assassin's Creed (the Original Game) in full-screen HD. If the character has a speaking part, it should be in here. Disclaimer: the original game is not very cinematic, so there may be a few odd camera angles and awkward pans (I did my best to be gentle with camera movement).
    Assassin's Creed is created, owned, and produced by UbiSoft. All footage captured by me. I claim no ownership or copyright of the material used in this video.

    "I do not accept your apology."
    "I understand."
    "No, you don't. I do not accept your apology because you are not the same man who went with me into Solomon's Temple. And so _you_ have nothing to apologize for."
    This piece of dialogue has stuck with me since I first played this game a few weeks ago. AC 1 is very rough around the edges, particularly with showing Altair's redemption properly, but this part is perfect.

    *For those who don't know what happened to Malik after AC1:*
    Shortly after subduing Abbas and recovering the Apple (as seen in Revelations), Altaïr put Malik in charge of Masyaf and went to Acre, where he came across Maria and took her hostage. He came to learn that the Templars had set up a base in Cyprus, and decided to go there with Maria in tow. He then travelled to Limassol, and killing a bunch of Templars (Frederick the Red, Moloch and his sons Shalim and Shahar) followed by Armand Bouchard, Robert de Sable's successor. Throughout the journey, Maria and Altaïr got to know each other and started falling for each other. (All this happens in AC: Bloodlines).
    A few weeks later, Altaïr and Maria got married in Limassol, and eventually returned to Masyaf. Maria gave birth to Darim and Sef, their sons.
    After the sons grew up, Altaïr placed Malik as the Grand Master of Masyaf before embarking on a decades long journey to the East with Maria and Darim, leaving Sef under Malik's care.
    Things started going downhill in Masyaf eventually. 2 years before Altaïr's return, Abbas murdered Sef and framed Malik, imprisoning him and taking over Masyaf.
    When Altaïr returned with Maria and Darim, he was told of Sef's demise at Malik's hands. Altaïr sneaked into the prison to confront Malik and know the truth, and upon learning it, rescued him. The next day, he and Maria went to face Abbas' council and demand justice, keeping a weak and wounded Malik in their quarter for safety. Unknown to them, Abbas' right hand man Swami snuck into thier place and *murdered* Malik, and framed Altaïr for the murder.
    What follows is shown in Revelations; the sequence where Maria dies.
    It happens a little different in the book; as Altaïr and Maria demad to know what happened to Sef, Swami brings Malik's severed head in front of the council, and frames Altaïr for the murder, after which things get heated up, and Maria dies.
    *Conclusion:* I wish Ubisoft had at least included Malik's death in Revelations. He was a great side character and deserved more screen time. Thanks for reading.

    Malik was such a great character for the writing of this game. It was a stroke of genius to make that character. Characters like Malik do have a name. He’s a protagonist that interacts with the main protagonist in a way that helps illustrates the personalities of both characters. U get to know Altaïr the more u interact with Malik. How does Altaïr responds to his own comrades when they disapprove of his actions? How Altaïr interacts with Malik helps the player get to know both characters.

      In all fairness the Colonial Assassins were shortsighted and arrogant. Not only did they disbelieve Shay's earthquake story until Achilles witnessed another one firsthand, they used gangs to spy on the Templars disregarding the crimes said gangs were committing and aided France's attempt to conquer the colonies just to eliminate Templar influence ignoring the countless lives they endangered and the policies France enforced (mainly slavery which was ironic considering the presence of Achilles and Adewale).

    You still missed a lot dialogue. During each of the three Jerusalem assassination missions, you can access more dialogue than what is shown in this video by doing any of the following:
    -During investigation and tracking, return to the Bureau before completing the necessary investigations.
    -During the actual assassination part of the mission, return to the Bureau before killing your target.
    (One of my favourite examples of this is where Altair returns before killing either Talal or Majd (Can't remember which) and Malik asks him why he's returned. Altair says "I'm resting." to which Malik sarcastically asks "Does this look like Paradise?!" and then promptly scolds him for not finishing his mission yet.)

    Watching these cutscenes back to back, they appear not all that interesting, and even kind of simplistic. However, when you play the game and witness all the cutscenes in between - it's a very different story. It's Altair's dialogues with his targets, with Al Mualim and other bureau managers, that show the change in Altair's perception of power, of the conspiracy and his ego gets humbled by it. Only after you feel this turn in Altair from cocky to puzzled, only then your meet Malik, see Altair show him respect, and only then you wow from the believability of it.
