History Awesome / AssassinsCreedSyndicate

* A lot of people feel that Syndicate's Templars are among the coolest and most impressive villains in the series. Starrick's "tea speech" is cited as being especially awesome for the way it makes a SpotOfTea into a symbol of capitalist control:

--> '''Crawford Starrick''': Gentlemen. This tea was brought to me from India by a ship, then, up from the harbor to a factory, where it was packaged and ferried by carriage to my door, unpacked in the larder and brought upstairs to me. All by men and women who work for me. Who are indebted to me, Crawford Starrick, for their jobs, their time, the very lives they lead. They will work in my factories and so too shall their children. And you come to me with talk of this Jacob Frye? This insignificant blemish who calls himself Assassin? You disrespect the very city that works day and night so that we may drink this. This miracle. This tea.

* During the mission to assassinate [[spoiler: [[TheDragon Lucy Thorne]]]], Evie can free the Constable from Templar captivity. In return, he and as many of the Royal Guard he can muster will fight alongside Evie to take back [[spoiler:the Tower of London]].
** Alternatively, you can get a friendly guard to [[ISurrenderSuckers pretend to arrest you]] and just walk right in and up to [[spoiler: Thorne.]]
* In the second to last sequence of the game, [[spoiler:Jacob teams up with crime lord [[TheStarscream Maxwell Roth]] to bring down Starrick's criminal empire. The two get along well and even seem close to a long-term alliance, until Jacob notices a warehouse they've rigged to explode has children working in it. When Roth tries to go through with the plan anyway, Jacob breaks their alliance and rescues the children without hesitation]].
--> '''Jacob''': [[spoiler:''We're not playing games anymore, Roth!'']]

---> '''Jacob''': I'm here to see [[spoiler:Mr. Roth]].

* In the very last mission, [[spoiler: when fighting Crawford Starrick underneath Buckingham Palace]], Jacob and Evie finish by simultaneously [[spoiler: assassinating Starrick from both sides]].
** Not to mention when it appears [[spoiler: Starrick is about to kill both twins, [[BigDamnHeroes Henry appears and faces him in combat]], giving Jacob and Evie time to recover]].
** It also provides an awesome [[BookEnds Book-Ending]] to the game. One of the first things you do as Evie is buy the Double Assassination skill, which lets you kill two enemies with one Assassin (which is a relief, after [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity Arno]] had to unlock and then purchase the ability to do the same). [[spoiler:The last thing you do during main story sequences is a CombinationAttack against the Templar Grand Master, which is [[NoKillLikeOverkill killing one enemy with two Assassins]], which is so many levels of relief after that PuzzleBoss fight.]]

* For all you CostumePorn lovers: [[spoiler:there's the final mission where Jacob and Evie attend the Queen's Ball in ''formal attire''. They're even briefly playable in these outfits, though Evie is restricted due to the movement of her dress and will have to make an infiltration without the use of parkour or sneak mode.]]
** Similarly, [[spoiler:this game's special armor, the Aegis, is a sight to behold on Evie during gameplay and in cutscenes, especially with its unique cape. It's a Precursor cloak so advanced it causes Helix to constantly glitch.]]

* In present day, Shaun is making a video confession inside a safe room. The drone he is speaking to suddenly detected movement and turns the camera for a brief moment when all of the sudden, the intruder scares Shaun from behind. The intruder: [[spoiler:Russian Master Assassin and a fan favorite from ''WebSite/AssassinsCreedInitiates'', Galina Voronina]]. Even better is her BadassBoast.

* The ending of the modern day storyline: [[spoiler: The Assassins ambush Otso Berg, Violet da Costa and Isabelle Ardant in order to retrieve the Shroud]].
** [[spoiler: After throwing a smoke grenade, Galina keeps up to her promise and gives Otso Berg a good beat down. The Master Templar proves to be a formidable opponent for the Master Assassin, breaking one of her Hidden Blades in the fight but Galina uses her quickness to her advantage and comes close at killing Berg had Rebecca not been shot and enemy reinforcement arriving which force her and the others to escape]].
** [[spoiler: As Galina and Berg fought each other, Ardant fails to realize that Shaun had snuck behind her and is killed. Not bad for the former history nerd who can only snark at people]].

** Similarly, [[spoiler:this game's special armor, the Aegis, is a sight to behold on Evie during gameplay and in cutscenes, especially with its unique cape.]]

* [[spoiler: Shaun Hastings: Kill them all.]] While the end result was not awesome this is a rare example from Shaun Hastings.
* Gang Stronghold missions are a great way to show off how awesome you are. You can tackle them either by stealth or brute force. This Troper went into one with sixteen Blighters. After failing to stealth kill them after three kills, the entire remaining group of Blighters in the area swarmed this troper. What happened next was pure awesome as they walked towards me like wood to a chipper. Doubles as a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Crowning Moment Of Funny]] as I played that with Evie, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation who mentions in the story how reckless Jacob is.]]

--> '''Jacob/Evie''': Ladies and gentlemen, we are *Jacob and Evie Frye! And as of this moment, you all work for ''us''!

--> '''[[BloodKnight Jacob]]''': If it finds me, [[LondonGangster I'll bring the lads.]]

** Alternatively, you can get a friendly guard to [[ISurrenderSuckers pretend to arrest you]] and just walk right in and up to [[spoiler: Thorne]].

* The beginning of the game, after Jacob and Evie pull a ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight and board a train to London, the title sequence is beautiful but criminally short: the camera pans up from their train to reveal our new city in the distance, a short reprise of Ezio's Family playing as the title shows itself.

* During the mission to assassinate [[spoiler: [[TheDragon Lucy Thorne]] ]], Evie can free the Constable from Templar captivity. In return, he and as many of the Royal Guard he can muster will fight alongside Evie to take back [[spoiler:the Tower of London]].
