I never correlated Patrice leaving with Desmond dying -- that's a great point there! The whole "story within a story" thing is my 2nd favorite part of the AC series -- to hear that they've killed it basically in ACU was some of the saddest news. (my favorite part is the hidden ciphers and messages buried within the game - I enjoy using these skills in something as benign as gaming!).

I don't own any of the AC non-CE statues though, but the one from AC3 that was being debated about being "real" or not was probably the one that tempted me the most thus far! Hopefully we'll see some other nice ones like that down the road and hopefully we'll see more of what I love in the next AC game!
