I really love AC2 as a whole but the DLC memories are just a real big downer on the experience with the Bonfire of the Vanities being no different. While the Battle of Forli DLC was fine in its own right, what with the addition of the "special memory" and more screen time for Caterina Sforza, I can't say the same for the BotV seeing as you're just given 9 targets to hit in tedious fashion before taking out a pretty hollow big bad that butted into the story. As an experience, Bonfire of the Vanities feels like a fever dream you wake up from before getting on with your day and being relived that it's just over
