* The fight against Pierre Bellec. He was really a cool character and the fact that he killed the one man who might have saved France from falling into violence is sad to see. His memories and recollection of Arno's father is also another one, since its probably the only time Arno will ever get to see his father again. The heartbreak on his face right before the fight is just painful to see.

* While many of the templars are opportunists or power hungry, Le Touche's first vision is that he was an ordinary accountant who was fired from the royal treasury simply because he did his job. He figured out that someone was skimming from the King's coffers, but his superior either didn't believe him or was in on the scheme. Thus, he came to believe that the parasitism of the nobles had to be cut out, and became a brutal mob accountant to help facilitate that.

* Arno's reluctance to leave Elise's side when they finally have an opportunity to kill Germain leads to her becoming angry with him and storming off. Immediately after this, Arno is exiled from the Brotherhood due to his impulsiveness and the council's perception of him being too revenge-crazed to be an Assassin. This leads to a genuinely depressing sequence of events in which Arno is a shell of his former self, [[INeedAFreakingDrink drinking almost all the time]], and barely managing to get by.

* Arno returns to the De La Serre house, swears to Elise he had nothing to do with the death of her father despite their backgrounds, and then he finds out the contents of the letter he didn't deliver. Despite his pleading he didn't know what was inside, Elise replies, "Neither did my father." And rejects him. It really drives home the loss of something great for Arno.

* The death of Arno's father is a big one. Especially the way people fall silent when they realize that a little boy is seeing his father dead. The realistic animations of Arno's reactions, his state of shock and how he finally responds to Monsieur de la Serre's voice sells it.
