Where is the missing finger?
Or am I just missing something and he's supposed to have 4 fingers?
Anyone got a fixed version?

It's supposed to be like 'Assassin's Creed.' You see the blade on the forearm? The ring finger would be in the way. It's cut off so that that blade can extend even if the wearer is makinf a fist.

What I don't understand about Assassin's Creed is that the guards don't immediately assume the the person that murdered the 20 other guards in front of them is the one guy with a sword, dagger and a whole bunch of throwing knives strapped to himself.

Yea, I understand its based on AC.
The whole finger chopped off bit doesn't sound right though. Why would Altair chop a finger off b/c its gonna get in the way of his hidden blade (not that its even in the way)?
I don't have AC right now, so i can't check, but that just doesn't make any sense.

Ah, thats what I wanted to test, but couldn't b/c I do not currently have AC.

So Altair is really missing a finger in-game? Huh. Weird. Sorry about that.

it was a process the old assassins did back in the day

if you look closely, everybody in his clan had their finger removed

in order to kill somebody stealthy, you had to hide your knife with your finger. it was too big to hide in between your fingers(you'd cut yourself) and it'd take to long to realize. there's actually a mechanism under his sleeve that deploys it so fast.

In addition to the practicality it offers for the hidden blade, it's also seen as a sort of final right of passage; it means that you've officially become a member of the Assassin. It separates civilians of the clan from the professional killers. You can notice that Desmon, who fled the clan as a teen, did not become a full Assassin, and thus still has his ring finger, while Lucy did become one, and proves it to him by showing that her ring finger has been cut off.

Hmmm...
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
Although, i never realized (or I simply forgot) that Lucy was an Assassin.

Lucy is part of the guild, but not an assassin she just folds her ring finger back. If you look at the other segments of the game she has all 5 fingers on her hand
