Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Assassin's song Hot is a call to action for the listeners to revolt against their leaders and join forces underground. The first line, "War is overdue," is an expression of the need for change, with the suggestion that the current state of things is unsustainable. The next line, "The time has come for you," is a direct challenge to the listener to take action. The following line, "To shoot your leaders down," is a metaphorical call to overthrow the current regime.


The second verse of the song is an exhortation to give in to one's passions and desires, to "lose control." The lyrics suggest that destroying democracy is a necessary means to an end. The repetition of the phrase "Lose control" throughout the song emphasizes the theme of surrendering oneself to one's desires and allowing oneself to become an "Assassin."


The final lines of the song, "Whatever they say, these people are torn/Wild and bereft/Assassin is born," suggest that the listener is not alone in their feeling of dissatisfaction with the current state of things. The song ends on a note of triumph, with the suggestion that change is coming and that the Assassin is a symbol of that change.

How can you call Kassandra, Alchibiades, and Socrates "boring"?

The story has the theme of family--Kassandra saves her brother, restores her family's status as Spartans, and discovers her true heritage.

And pray tell, which character was "ruined"?

Also, please remember, "Nothing is true; everything is permitted."

I like playing as Kassandra due to the fact u can make her look like wonder woman

Chris Moore

A poor reason to enforce her as "canon" yet I believe most men counting her over alexios have virgin problems....

@chickenchuck oh god I read that like-

VISHAL NARAYANAN

@Chris Moore alexios had a brute like attitude that can be associated with Thor....this is a signature feature of deimos and hence he was better suited for the antagonist role.... Kassandra was a way better misthios and a protagonist.... I've completed 100% of the game once with kass and just started to play as Alexios and I feel that the game itself wants us to play as Kass as the armor, storylines they all make sense with her as the protagonist and same goes for Alexios as Deimos

Chris Moore

@VISHAL NARAYANAN yet kassandra has a Male childhood and her dad breaks spartan lore by giving her to the all Male training school which she later refers to, or the fact she dresses up as a Male cultist and even as deimos looks for the intruder there, no one picks up that the Male culist has a female voice... or how about the part where that lady cant even watch the Olympics due to it not being allowed for women to compete nor watch, yet good old woke kassandra can become the champion? As a side note, she obviously looks younger then alexios and deimos is the younger sibling, this would also mean she didn't have a boys childhood and didn't break another historical points either. Also deimos is better as kassandra and she has a much cleaner less worn face model. Just as a hero of the cult would. The game makes far more sense for alexios as the eagle bearer. Sorry to say. (All the outfits and gear in game besides like 3 sets are Male, including the main outfit and the suit they die in... explain that.)

I had an unhealthy obsession with Evie Frye when that game released. It is a sin that she's not on this list
