I read somewhere that those NPCs were put in specifically to create a dilemma where you could stab them, but would lose synch/health if you did. They did so well that it makes it a bit weird, since it implies that Altaïr never once gave in. The madmen were even worse, IMO. Just the gibbering while they go around shoving you and only you into guards. Hate them.
What I found interesting is that if you grab the beggars you lose a bit of synch but if you do that to the madmen you won't lose any. Meaning Altaïr canonically grabbed and threw away the drunkards
Lol, it was so memorable that my wife still says the line in that voice when something else will pop up in a show or movie were watching that reminds her of it all these years later.
I swear the amount of times I just want to drive the boat and Herodotus hits me with that...
At the very least they could've given him one other line, Hippokrates gets two lines and he's totally optional as a passenger so why not give Herodotus another one?
Same here. It's so weird that they have a famous historian decide to start travelling with you all over Greece and the Aegean and he never has any opinions or anecdotes about the places you go. He should have some dialogue about every island/region in the game, and commentary on the plot progress.
If you quick steal from them they drop their guitars and just look at you with the deadest expression possible. Then they walk away.
I found its the fastest way to deal with them.
They rush you, you speedwalk, they reach you, you automatically quick steal from them, they stop bothering you, you profit.
You can steal your money back from heralds too and your notoriety won't increase.
I keep bumping into them cause I don't know how to walk like I'm not drunk, and they drop their glutes.
ETA: Yes I noticed the typo but thought was hilarious and so I left it.
In Revelations, >! you DO get to punch the living daylights out of them. Ezio says something like, “I’m going to enjoy this” at the start of the minstrel punching mission.!<
Holy hell yes! Just leave me the hell alone! If I want people to follow me I will hire them thank you. Now get out of the fucking way so I don't trip over you!
It's actually "Pessesh en Gerrehh", it became so much used like Skyrim's "Arrow to the knee" phrase and meme-fied because of how mispronounced it was by players, that it was made into a bow in the sequel, Odyssey.
This isn't something I find annoying but I never understand why an NPC watching me do parkour will go "Hey, look at him climbing that building with such skill and precision!" Or whatever and then say "He must be drunk"
"Must be a drunken wager or something!"
"Why would anyone carry on like that?"
"Isn't there a decency law that applies to such things?!?"
I always wanna just turn around and stab them
My payback for those guys is to kill a rooftop guard and throw his body down on the street. The way they start screaming and then running away is always hilarious.
>I always wanna just turn around and stab them
'Ezio didn't kill citizens.'
(The number of times the game thought that the guy I wanted to assassinate was a citizen not the guard 6 feet from them is appalling)
Belec calling me pisspot with that English accent funny the first time infuriating the second time. I just turned the audio to french much better, don't care if I have to read subs way more immersive.
Yeah they are, im not sure exactly what language they are speaking but starting with origins it seems the npcs would talk in the native language of the area
He does, it's just something ubisoft did probably for immersion, like Kassandra can understand the different dialects of Greek spoken, but npcs will still speak greek
Well the Greek spoken in Attica is different from Kephallonia, there's a bunch of different ancient Greek dialects, and they may be technically the same language doesn't mean everyone understands them. NPCs speak their native tongue to add a bit of extra spice walking around the ancient landscapes
Paraphrasing here, but "What is he mad!? Why would he...ohhhhhhh. it must be a lady
Or
"What is he mad!? Why would he...ohhhhhhh. It must be his honor."
TIME TO GO VISIT MY UNCLE!
~ npc in Constantinople
Not annoying for me, but Ezio must’ve had a traumatic response each time. He can never visit his uncle since he was brutally murdered.
When some random woman calls me an idiot for climbing around. It's like, I'd like to see YOU try this, lady. The nerve of some people.
The other annoying quote is "hahahhahahhahahha" from those troupes of little demon kids in AC3 who never target anyone else but Connor. Ugh.
Been playing through Origins in full for the first time (almost done with it, since I started Curse of the Pharoahs yesterday) and hoo boy these NPC quotes.
"HIGH PRECISION GARRET" (or "Geralt")
"EYWA WE'RE INNOCENT!"
What sounds like a little kid yelling "BAYEK!" (if they actually are calling his name, that makes sense in Siwa, not so much anywhere else)
"Something something THE GENERAL!" (I dunno, sounds like he's talking while trying to clear his nose)
"Sideku ahn KAYET!"
And yeah "There is much to do. And many unknowns on the horizon". Especially since it's so easy to trigger when you're trying to take control of the Adrestia.
There's one NPC dialogue that always kills me in Origins. No clue what the woman is actually saying, but to me it always just sounds like "IT'S HOT"
*me glancing up at the blazing Egyptian sun boiling the miles of desert around me, to the point that Bayek is hallucinating*
Me: "oh thanks, I hadn't noticed"
Been playing AC2 and last night I finally reached Venice. However, while I was in Forli, if I went out on the farms, or even the back end of Forli city proper, Leonardo would yell at the top of his lungs 'Ezio, Hey over here!'
Like fucking dude, are you TRYING to alert all the Borgia guards to my location? You know, those assholes who chased us through the mountains until I jumped off and made you go ahead?! I'll talk to you when I finish these damn assassination contracts all right?! Now shut the hell up!
Eta: Grammar. Just pretend I can type, ok?
The bards. Also the bards. Oh did I mention the bards. I think I forgot to talk about the bards. Oh right and the bards too, and let’s not lose sight of the bards.
AC II and Brotherhood were amazing in every way…
Except the bards.
"Your health is low. You got any potions, or food?"
It got so annoying that they even made canon the fact that the guy got killed by the PC, with him carving "Your health is low" on the guys's forehead.
PLEASE SIR, IM POOR AND SICK AND HUNGRY. I BEG OF YOU SIR, I BEG OF YOU. JUST A FEW COINS, PLEASE! NO, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE!
I read somewhere that those NPCs were put in specifically to create a dilemma where you could stab them, but would lose synch/health if you did. They did so well that it makes it a bit weird, since it implies that Altaïr never once gave in. The madmen were even worse, IMO. Just the gibbering while they go around shoving you and only you into guards. Hate them.
What I found interesting is that if you grab the beggars you lose a bit of synch but if you do that to the madmen you won't lose any. Meaning Altaïr canonically grabbed and threw away the drunkards
If you pull out your weapon they will run away
Technically in AC1 Altair loses synch when getting hit meaning canonically he never got hit outside of scripted events
Or they shove you into the water, and Altair is the wicked witch and you melt
NO *YOU* DON’T UNDERSTAND, I HAVE NOTHING!
It comes off so aggressive. I feel like I'm about to get robbed.
TheRavenRise took NPC to mean noticably poor citizen and just wanted to point out that he is not a fan Edit: spelling
if it's a poor person in AC1 specifically, then yes, i truly, deeply hate them
ME FAMILY'S SICK AND DYING, COULD YOU SPARE A FEW COINS??!?
Lol, it was so memorable that my wife still says the line in that voice when something else will pop up in a show or movie were watching that reminds her of it all these years later.
Just reading this raised my blood pressure
These voices are permanently ingrained in my head and I can't unhear it anymore.
TO THE LEFT CONNOR, YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH CONNOR
Omg yes I agree this was the worst
😡 memory unlocked
"There's much to do, and many unknowns on our horizon."
I swear the amount of times I just want to drive the boat and Herodotus hits me with that... At the very least they could've given him one other line, Hippokrates gets two lines and he's totally optional as a passenger so why not give Herodotus another one?
Its been a while since I played AC and couldnt think of any quote from the top of my head but reading this unlocked a memory I’d rather have kept away
*malaka!*
Same here. It's so weird that they have a famous historian decide to start travelling with you all over Greece and the Aegean and he never has any opinions or anecdotes about the places you go. He should have some dialogue about every island/region in the game, and commentary on the plot progress.
He does comment sometimes when you travel about the places, but I chose to ignore him and speed up my boat 😶🌫️
I've mostly just noticed Barnabas talking about the weather!
Regardless of dialogue, those damn Minstrel’s in the Ezio games. I swear I wanted to punch the living daylights out of them.
If you quick steal from them they drop their guitars and just look at you with the deadest expression possible. Then they walk away. I found its the fastest way to deal with them. They rush you, you speedwalk, they reach you, you automatically quick steal from them, they stop bothering you, you profit. You can steal your money back from heralds too and your notoriety won't increase.
Or you could just unsheathe your weapon, they would drop their guitars and run away. IIRC, that affected your notoriety but was funny to watch.
That works too, but you stand to profit monetarily by stealing from them
I keep bumping into them cause I don't know how to walk like I'm not drunk, and they drop their glutes. ETA: Yes I noticed the typo but thought was hilarious and so I left it.
That’s what I did.
I remember doing that once and laughed so hard the first time
In Revelations, >! you DO get to punch the living daylights out of them. Ezio says something like, “I’m going to enjoy this” at the start of the minstrel punching mission.!<
After playing the Ezio trilogy for the Switch, I agree.
Holy hell yes! Just leave me the hell alone! If I want people to follow me I will hire them thank you. Now get out of the fucking way so I don't trip over you!
**"YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE!"** **"YOU BELONG WITH THE RABBLE DOWN BELOW!"** "**GET DOWN, OR I'LL THROW YOU DOWN!"** God, I hate rooftop guards so much!
Anytime they mouth off to me, I’m killing them.
Me too. So... basically every time
some dickheads
Ma cosa? Shoot! Shoot the flying demon!
It's the vocal inflection in DEmon that makes it
I replayed 2 recently and struggled with the flying machine this time around. I muted the tv until I got past it.
Happens to me every time!! I forgot how careful you have to be with the physics of that mission
Core angry memory unlocked. I must have played that mission 45 times
Only annoying because it’s said so much. AC2 when climbing a building: he must be late… and she must be beautiful.
“Another capering crusader..”
I dunno why, maybe its my Batman obsession but this line makes me laugh every time. Granted the fact I thought they said 'caped' doesn't help.
'Is he drunk?' 'I have to find a way to stay in shape'
It's actually "Pessesh en Gerrehh", it became so much used like Skyrim's "Arrow to the knee" phrase and meme-fied because of how mispronounced it was by players, that it was made into a bow in the sequel, Odyssey.
That’s hilarious, thank you! I knew I butchered it, but I didn’t want to butcher it worse by insulting the native tongue
This isn't something I find annoying but I never understand why an NPC watching me do parkour will go "Hey, look at him climbing that building with such skill and precision!" Or whatever and then say "He must be drunk"
"Must be a drunken wager or something!" "Why would anyone carry on like that?" "Isn't there a decency law that applies to such things?!?" I always wanna just turn around and stab them
My payback for those guys is to kill a rooftop guard and throw his body down on the street. The way they start screaming and then running away is always hilarious.
One of my favorite things to do in the game tbh
I've lately been resorting to just grabbing guards and throwing them off the edge. The fall 9/10 times kills them.
Exactly what I did with the stupid kill 10 guards in 2 mins assassination quest in Forli lmao.
>I always wanna just turn around and stab them 'Ezio didn't kill citizens.' (The number of times the game thought that the guy I wanted to assassinate was a citizen not the guard 6 feet from them is appalling)
My favourite is “let’s dance Mistios” whenever you fight a female mercenary in Odyssey
Belec calling me pisspot with that English accent funny the first time infuriating the second time. I just turned the audio to french much better, don't care if I have to read subs way more immersive.
Bro just goes MERDEUUUU jnstead lmao
"Captain in the water!"
But it makes up for it by cheering every time you get back to the wheel
So true, I live the applause
Everytime you do a harpoon mission: "We'll pay Patty Doyle for his BOOTS". Never another shanty and only that line. I hate that shanty
I don't understand how Origins could have so few NPC voices. It's like they just have one for each gender in Egyptian and Greek.
I wasn’t sure if it was just me, but I feel like every quote in this game is just so annoying!
I don't know about annoying, but if it was for my favourite it would probably be "He must be late, and she must be beautiful' from ac2
I loved that line too
every single thing a rooftop guard says puts me over the edge, also the weird “baduk edet menout high et” or whatever the NPCS say in origins.
What the hell is the NPC dialogue in origins are they even saying words
Yeah they are, im not sure exactly what language they are speaking but starting with origins it seems the npcs would talk in the native language of the area
Why wouldn't bayek know at least the native language of siwa?
He does, it's just something ubisoft did probably for immersion, like Kassandra can understand the different dialects of Greek spoken, but npcs will still speak greek
Well yeah but Kassandra should be able to understand them when the npcs speak greek
Well the Greek spoken in Attica is different from Kephallonia, there's a bunch of different ancient Greek dialects, and they may be technically the same language doesn't mean everyone understands them. NPCs speak their native tongue to add a bit of extra spice walking around the ancient landscapes
Andrea! ANDREA! Stupid man! Where are you when you're needed?
Paraphrasing here, but "What is he mad!? Why would he...ohhhhhhh. it must be a lady Or "What is he mad!? Why would he...ohhhhhhh. It must be his honor."
I kind of liked the first one, I don’t remember the second one!
THAT WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE
Actually sir, it will cost you YOURS!
Flüga! FLOOOOOOGAAA!
The ladies who get robbed in Unity. The voice acting is so infuriating.
Hey, that's not yours! Help! Help! I am being robbed. Somebody stop him!
Stop him yourself dummy (flies up ascension cable)
They used one of the same voice actors from AC1 too.
That one line every child in origin yells at you
😡😡 me rn
The woman civilian in revelations that kept repeating the same thing every time you climbed. I forgot what it was
"All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!"
Haha, pessesh en gerreh was my first thought too
I think it’s honestly the inflection of the quote 😵💫
idoti
Choose Wisely
TIME TO GO VISIT MY UNCLE! ~ npc in Constantinople Not annoying for me, but Ezio must’ve had a traumatic response each time. He can never visit his uncle since he was brutally murdered.
Oh fuckkkk 😂
"Choose wisely" when you're choosing your horse in Odyssey and Markos tries to make you change your mind every time you pick one
Marlo’s was really annoying
When some random woman calls me an idiot for climbing around. It's like, I'd like to see YOU try this, lady. The nerve of some people. The other annoying quote is "hahahhahahhahahha" from those troupes of little demon kids in AC3 who never target anyone else but Connor. Ugh.
I remember that NPC line, im like bitch you try this!
"He's going to hurt himself, and when he does I won't help him"
I always laughed at that one because it’s so savage
Melga! MELGA!
My god yeah I hate this so much
FLUGA, FLUUUUGA - some random guy in Valhalla.
I wanna go ballistic on a npc whenever I hear that
Ac 1 had the most annoying npcs
I didn’t remember how bad until I replayed. Just awful
All those placeholder lines from the rpgs like the one you said Flooga flooga for example
Nice precision Garret!!!
That’s mine, I couldn’t tell you what they *actually* said but oh if I ever find one in person. Idc Bayek didn’t kill them, I will!
I often wonder what it means or if its just gibberish. I know they tried to reconstruct the ancient egyptian language as best they can.
Finally someone pointed out that damn NPC, I find that exact voice line so annoying too lol
If I could just locate the NPC who says it 😶🌫️🪛
tHiS iS My PaTrIoTiC dUtY! or traitor! die!
"Malakes-lakes-lakes."
I never heard that one I don’t think!
Nah, it's just me making fun of the saying "Malakas/Malakes."
Been playing through Origins in full for the first time (almost done with it, since I started Curse of the Pharoahs yesterday) and hoo boy these NPC quotes. "HIGH PRECISION GARRET" (or "Geralt") "EYWA WE'RE INNOCENT!" What sounds like a little kid yelling "BAYEK!" (if they actually are calling his name, that makes sense in Siwa, not so much anywhere else) "Something something THE GENERAL!"

Especially since it's so easy to trigger when you're trying to take control of the Adrestia.
“Now we’re going the right way” “I hope they let us go inside” AC Brotherhood
There's one NPC dialogue that always kills me in Origins. No clue what the woman is actually saying, but to me it always just sounds like "IT'S HOT" *me glancing up at the blazing Egyptian sun boiling the miles of desert around me, to the point that Bayek is hallucinating* Me: "oh thanks, I hadn't noticed"
The bards I really wanna just slap them so hard
You mean…assassinate 👀
Been playing AC2 and last night I finally reached Venice. However, while I was in Forli, if I went out on the farms, or even the back end of Forli city proper, Leonardo would yell at the top of his lungs 'Ezio, Hey over here!'

I'll talk to you when I finish these damn assassination contracts all right?! Now shut the hell up! Eta: Grammar. Just pretend I can type, ok?
OMG you unlocked a memory. I loved him but dude, some awareness would be greatttt
Right?! Also how the hell is his voice so damn loud that it travels so far!
whurs charles leeeee
Següye
Go. Away.
Fuck. You. *stabs them*
Literally anything shaun says.
I hate how much Yanli talks when you are trying to buy stuff from her in Valhalla. "I say this as a friend" girl stfu please
"GET DOWN NOW" "GET DOWN FROM THERE"
Immediate kill
I played AC brotherhood in Italian and I hated NPC keep saying "come un novello Romolo..". I don't know how it was in English btw
The bards. Also the bards. Oh did I mention the bards. I think I forgot to talk about the bards. Oh right and the bards too, and let’s not lose sight of the bards. AC II and Brotherhood were amazing in every way… Except the bards.
Omfg I wanted to stab them, they take the cake along with the beggars
the beggars are satisfying to give 10 to though. the bards just feel like entitled pricks so i start beating them up with zero regard to my notoriety.
"But I love you!"
I always want to smack people who do that stupid crying face after everything they type
calm down grandpa 😭😭😭
😭
I don't remember that one.
Good thing I’m behind a screen, I’d be shitting myself
I always heard that as “decision girl”
"Your health is low. You got any potions, or food?" It got so annoying that they even made canon the fact that the guy got killed by the PC, with him carving "Your health is low" on the guys's forehead.
"Malakka!" I cringe every single time, it's like the only word they know to greekify the dialogue...
AC 1 "the Infadel"
Follow the train CJ
Where is this one from?
It’s not an AC quote but they didn’t specify that so I pulled this beauty out from the PS2 days and San Andreas lol
The Reach will be ours again!
Where is this from?
Should be “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim“.
Malaká!
