Man, the first time I realized that Altair was voiced by that fucking dude. All the time and effort that went into making it look as authentically like the twelfth century Holy Land as possible, and who do they cast to voice the main character? Fuck if I know, your roommate Trevor? The mid-00’s were a weird time I guess, where game developers were like “how are the kids going to want to buy our extremely strange stealth historical fiction sci-fi hybrid game that’s also explicitly about christian/Muslim friction in the Middle East while we’re still balls deep in an endless war in Iraq, unless we make the main character sound like the guy in accounting with long hair and a ponytail who teaches a yoga class on Thursdays and who your mom is cheating on your dad with?”
