* The armour Ezio recovers from the Followers of Romulus turns out to have originally belonged to Marcus Brutus. On its own, this makes for a good opportunity for the game to invoke Rome's complicated history, but it takes on a new meaning with hindsight. In VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOrigins we learn that Brutus was an early member of the Hidden Ones (the secret society that eventually became the Assassin Brotherhood). By stealing his armor and passing it off as belonging to Romulus, the Templars were basically erasing the Assassins' history. Ezio is therefore reclaiming what rightfully belongs to the Brotherhood.

* In hindsight, it is probably best that Ezio did not kill Rodrigo Borgia when he had the chance. Rodrigo is the Pope, a very powerful man, his death would have made anyone public enemy number one, and the Templar would know exactly who did it, like Cesare for example. With Cesare killing Rodrigo, it gives Ezio much more clearance to kill him.

* Ezio is scolded for rescuing Caterina Sforza by both Machiavelli and Caterina herself. They call it a childish, useless action. However, think about the context. Lucrezia Borgia makes an example out of her at the start of the rescue mission memory, saying that anyone who defies the Borgia, even nobles in charge of prosperous towns, will be thrown down. Caterina desperately yells encouragement to the gathered crowd as she is dragged away, which makes her look all the more pathetic. Then, later that day, she rides out of the castle on a horse while being escorted by "The Assassin" that the vigilantes talk about; one person snuck into the castle and freed the woman who said that all the people of Rome will be free eventually. Then he pulls a YouShallNotPass to enable her to escape against a huge crowd of soldiers. As per synchronization objectives, Ezio accomplishes a five-man-long kill streak during this time. Then he makes his own escape. After such an impressive and public display of defiance, it is any wonder that Ezio suddenly finds potential Assassin recruits on every street corner? Caterina's words and rescue combine to make Ezio TheParagon of defiance against Borgia oppression.

* It always bothered me that Bonfire of the Vanities and Battle of Forli were broken memories in [=AC2=]. Then, while playing Brotherhood, it was revealed that Ezio had repressed most of his memories of Cristina Vespucci, who only appeared once in [=AC2=] to have sex with Ezio. Not only that, but Cristina died during Bonfire of the Vanities. Since Savonarola was present during both of the broken memories, Ezio associates him with her death, and has been trying to block out EVERYTHING that reminded him of Cristina as anything more than another conquest. It was a coping mechanism.
* Why did Desmond claim his mock Italian accent in ''Brotherhood'' wasn't racist? Because he's descended from Ezio, so technically, he ''is'' Italian! He was making fun of Altair at the time, but that also doesn't count as offensive against Syrians because he's ''also'' descended from him!
** Might also have been stuck in his head from ''II'' when Mario introduced himself with "It's a-me! Mario!"
* One of the e-mails from Vidics computer in the first game is written by an insane person in ALLCAPS about how he saw people with the Abstergo logo using a metallic ball that made everyone kill each other. The first game actually hinted at the finale of Brotherhood with Ezio using the piece of Eden as a weapon.

* Claudia's skill with a knife shouldn't really be all that surprising. She's spent twenty years surrounded by mercenaries, with a fighting ring right outside the front door of the villa, and nothing else to do - something she explicitly complains about in ''ACII''. Add in memories of the ugly fate of her father and brothers, and she'd have a damned good reason to learn how to fight and plenty of time to develop those skills with the help of Mario's ''mercenari''.

* 'Project Legacy' example: We see the death of [[spoiler: Niccolo di Pitigliano]] from his own point of view, and we get memories from [[spoiler: Perotto Calderon]] after he has [[UnusualEuphemism passed on his genetic material]]. If you think about the series' established rules of GeneticMemory (or, indeed, revisit the Altair flashback in [=AC2=]), this gets a ''little'' confusing...
** It's possible that the DDS operates on different principles from the Animus. After all, what are the odds that everyone who uses the DDS has a direct lineage to all of the people whose memories that can be explored?
*** I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that the DDOS uses a different system to show users the events as they happened, but doesn't create an full 3D interface for users to play around in. But it also has it's drawbacks and disadvantages, which is probably why they need the Animus program to begin with. The DDOS is probably just an experiment to see if they can get any tangible benifits out of such a system.
*** Actually, the DDS isn't a full-blown Animus, but a "Data Dump Scanner", able to force random memories (seemingly coming from their "rightful" owners' minds) into the brains of willing appliants. The introduction cutscene before any memories warns the user of the possiblity of mindblowing glitches. Literally.
*** It's possible that Perotto had other kids who were born after the memories, and the two genetic lines simply converged.
