Have you noticed anything that is out of place in 1500s Italy? Post them here. I'll start:
I was in the Antico District when I decided to call in an arrow storm. Well, Ezio pulled out a cell phone and texted his assassins for the arrow storm. I though this was out of place because I don't think anyone used cell phones in the 1500s.

Top things that are out of place in Assassin's Creed
This topic is locked from further discussion.
In one of the scenes with Leonardo, he did a bro-hug and bro-shake with Ezio, then Leonardo said, "Peace out, dawg." I thought this was out of place because I didn't know people called each other "dawg" back then.
One time while walking by the brothel, Ezio exclaimed, "I got ho's in different area codes." I thought this was out of place because that was obviously a reference to the song by Ludacris. But that song wasn't even released back then, and I don't think Ludacris was even alive at that time.
When Ezio was banging that chick in the beginning I noticed a box of Trojans by the bed. I thought this was out of place because I didn't realize that practicing safe sex was emphasized back then. I guess Rome really was pretty progressive.
Did you know there's an achievement for killing a guard with a broom? Well, I couldn't find a broom anywhere until I finally stumbled upon a Home Depot near the Vatican. I thought this was out of place because there weren't any Home Depots in Rome during the 1500s.
On firing my hidden pistol, I once heard Ezio talk about 'Bringing the noise'. I thought this weird as it's clearly a Public enemy reference and that song was only released in 1987. Also, when he said it, I'm pretty sure Ezio was being voiced by Mickey Rourke just for that one line.
I found a phone booth and inside was So-crates, Abraham Lincoln, and fucking Ghengis Khan. Then these two punks from San Dimas kidnapped me and said I needed to help them do their history report. Things got sort of wacky from there...
I thought the first joke was funny, but I love how he's basically the one person keeping the joke going because nobody else will join in
Fun fact, they had condoms back then, even in Roman, Ancient Egyptian, and Ancient Greek times, condoms are not a new invention, neither is tooth paste D: and yes you wanna look up Gabrielle Follopio he was an Italian physician back in that time period who emphasized condom usage and is the major reason they are now used to practice safe sex." When Ezio was banging that chick in the beginning I noticed a box of Trojans by the bed. I thought this was out of place because I didn't realize that practicing safe sex was emphasized back then. I guess Rome really was pretty progressive. "
When I got to the flying machine part, there were a couple people who demanded to do a full body search and x-ray on me before I boarded the flying machine. I thought that was out of place because I don't think terrorism on air travel was a big issue back then. Also, I was worried because I had hidden blades, a butcher knife, a crossbow, a long sword, and smoke bombs on my person.
When I finally got the Romulus Treasure, one of the treasures was a 60" HDTV. I thought this was odd because HDTV is a recent invention. Also, I don't think there was any good programming during that era.
In Assassin's Creed 2, I head Ezio's uncle say "It's a me-Mario!" I thought that was out of place because it was clearly a Mario reference, but video games didn't exist in 1500s Italy!
...Oh wait, that did happen. And it was effing terrible.

Whilst walking through the Centro district, one of those annoying musicians walked up to me, but instead of being annoying, he started to play Back in Black by AC/DC. I thought that was very cool, but also very out of place.
Before I used the parachute, Leonardo made me sign a waiver form to release him of all liability. I thought this was odd because these release of liability forms are only prevalent in litigious societies, and I didn't know 1500s Rome was that litigious.
I went to a tailor in the Campagna district and unlocked a Superman cape. I thought this was odd because I didn't think Italians would be fans of DC Comics. Also, the cape doesn't match with Ezio's outfit, and it doesn't make him fly (I had to discover that the hard way).
The tailors in the Antico district sell a white Assassin's Snuggie. I thought this was out of place because Italy didn't have infomercials back then to properly advertise it. Also, a Snuggie would not provide an assassin with appropriate damage protection.
At the dining area in the Thieves Guild, in the corner you can see a guy eating. Upon closer inspection, he is eating a taco. This is out of place because the game's setting is in Italy, not Mexico. Therefore, he should have been eating spaghetti or a pizza instead.

"In another corner, you can see someone else eating a pizza, so that's not out of place. However, the pizza he is eating is from Domino's, which is out of place. It's out of place because how would Domino's deliver pizza during that era since there were no cars? I guess it's possible they could have used a horse, but would they still have the delivery in 30 minutes guarantee? That's something to think about.
One time I decided to hop on a row boat and I started rowing out into sea. I rowed for about 3 hours and ended up on Gilligan's island. I thought it was odd when I saw Gilligan banging Ginger because this whole time I thought he was gay.
One time I tried to withdraw money from the bank, and it asked me for my PIN. I thought that was odd because there is no PIN code in the manual, nor was I ever given one throughout the game (and I have already completed the entire game). So now I just have a bunch of money sitting there without earning any type of interest. What a waste.
