** Notably, that carriage getaway gives you limitless ammunition with which to shoot your persuers... because Jacob tells her to take his when she runs out. This seems to imply Jacob assumed that a quiet "you ''will'' stick to the mission" run by his stealth-oriented sister would need enough bullets to shoot every Blighter in Victorian England in the head three times.

* The final mission is just a consecutive string of [=CMOAs=] and [=CMOFs=]. The Frye twins are in formal wear; the game outright tells you: "Evie's movements are RESTRICTED by her dress", and she HATES it. [[spoiler:When Starrick snatches the key to the Shroud of Eden,]] she sends Jacob to [[spoiler:stop him]] while she "get[s] out of this... [[OfCorsetHurts infernal contraption]]!" After [[spoiler:Jacob handles the first round of the FinalBoss fight]], we cut back to Evie as she steps out of a hiding curtain, unceremoniously discards the dress, ''sheathes her Hidden Blade'', and gives the garment a very relieved-sounding "[[SeriousBusiness Requiescat in pace]]."

** One beer (using the term in it's loosest possible sense) stands out. Shaun takes a drink, and then immediately descends into broken gibberish. According to him, the next thing he remembers is coming too fourteen hours later, having written more gibberish, followed by a diatribe about the mating habits of finches.

* After collecting a brand of vintage beer in the game, Shaun will sample said brand and leave his thoughts in the database. With the exception of one brand, every beer he samples makes him regret he considered doing this task with the beers' taste ranging from urine at best to poison at worst. Here's one example in which he samples the ironically named Frye & Frye:
-->Are you sure this is meant to be drunk? Because it tastes for all the world like a new concoction for Evie and Jacob's poison darts.



* One of the things to do in the game is collect vintage beers, with Shaun giving his analysis with sense data. Many of them are just really bad swill, and some of them having [[TastesLikePurple weird tastes.]] Only one of those beers even makes the proper grade.

It doesn't help that Jacob is shouting taunts and Evie is telling him to stop it.

--> It was also one of the first truly "modern" wars, if large masses of men shooting each other over which toff got to call themselves Emperor of Wherever can be called "modern." Technology like the exploding artillery shell, the railroad, and the telegraph shaped the conflict, and the advent of photographic technology meant it was one of the first wars to be documented in the press. This was particularly delightful in that the great legacy of the Crimean war was [[GeneralFailure the rank incompetence and general mismanagement on the part of the leadership of all sides]]. Something to really be proud of there. [[EpicFail If you're going to be inept, be REALLY inept]]. For the citizens on the home front puffed up with [[PatrioticFervor patriotic fervour]], this was a bit like going to see your favourite band in concert only to realise that they only sounded good thanks to auto-tune and ruthless editing.
