The Witcher 2 Offers Less-Than-Flattering Cameo by Altair

by Keith Sadler, posted on 17 May 2011 / 3,898 Views

In The Witcher 2, (available for purchase today via many fine retailers) Altair, from the Assassin's Creed franchise, makes a cameo. Unfortunately, it’s not the most flattering angle. In order to see the spoiler image, click after the break. I laughed out loud when I saw it. 

 Witcher 2 Altair

At about 30 minutes into the game, we see what might really happen if you tried jumping off a tower into a bale of hay.

 In The Witcher 2, you play as Gerald, a super-badass who doesn’t jump in haystacks.

reminds me of the Lara Croft body in one of the Duke Nukem games.

Maybe "the break" refers to what happened to Altair :-P

lol, nice. Oh, but the "In order to see the spoiler image, click after the break" part isn't working. The image is there from the start.

LOL. This reminds me of finding the Doom marine in Duke Nukem 3d when Duke says "that's one doomed space marine". Don't think Ubi will mind one bit.

@Blackfist: sue because of a joke and possible free add?? I don't believe so, you don't play with the guy he is just a corpse... And Ubi haven't copyrighted a white robe with red belt lying on a haystack, this doesn't make a case and even make sense for them.

@Silver-Tiger Ubisoft would look pretty stupid even if they did/could. As an Assassin's Creed fan, I cans ee the funny side of this.

I think this falls under satire, and as far as I know, you can't file a suit gainst that.
