    I wasn't paying attention when I got to Venice and he offered me a bro hug and I was too late on the QTE.

    I pressed the button too late also. I felt like a dick as well. Leonardo is one of the more lovable characters in recent games.

    I did, too.  The QTE caught me off guard and I missed it.  But, oh well, I want to stab dudes in the face, no broing out.

    It may of not have ended there, arty duder was almost certainly gay, on the evidence of his work alone.  There is no conclusive proof, but it's pretty obvious he was, and the common consensus among art historians is that he was homosexual.  
     
    On another note, as a huge fan of the artist, I don't like Ubisoft's shitty depiction of the man at all.

    I totally missed it too and was paranoid the rest of the game thinking I'd screwed up.  He was kinda cold from there on out when I'd bring codex pages and I was almost certain he was gonna hold out on the flying machine.

    I didn't get he was gay at all from Assassins Creed 2, in fact i remember he was telling Ezio at some point he had some ''mutual'' friends at a Whorehouse, for former Nuns, not men.

    slightly off topic, but i have a question about Leonardo.
     
    there's an achievement for getting all the upgrades and such.  correct me if any of the following assumptions are wrong:
     
    - you get all the upgrades from codex pages 
    - you get upgrades from codex pages not directly from the storyline
     
    so, once

     
    the achievement isn't as important to me as the upgrades are, but the points are always nice.

    But in missing the QTE, were you ever going to actually get a hug, that's the real question, maybe he'd have psyched you out, maybe he'd have said he was going to hug someone else, maybe he was going to lean in for a kiss.

    I also did it too late, and he got this awkward look on his face, felt kind of bad.

    I don't know about Linkyshinks, but I think the depiction is shitty because I had pictured Leonardo to be more brooding and moody. I really wasn't expecting the happy, always smiling Leonardo :P I still like him as a character though.

    I gave him the hug, though I was still paranoid, thinking what would have happened if I hadn't succeeded in the QTE...

    My controller wasn't in my hands when the QTE popped up. Before I could reach over and hit the X button, it was over. The look on Leonardo's face killed me.

    The real Leonardo according to accounts of the time, [Vasari etc] depict him as a quite graceful man, a demure deep thinker, not like the character we see in the game. As a fan of his work, I  consider it  a shame he's wasn't like that.  I think it's great that young people become familiar with his life and work, but if there are some that think this game gives a true reflection of the man, they would be wrong. 
     
     As it says at the start of the game, it's fiction.

    @Linkyshinks: I think he would have been more quiet, not so bubbly. One of those weird kids who's always thinking, and knows everything.
     
    But then again, it's fiction. His character is pretty good, and according to the trailer his name is "Leonardo Davinci". Obviously not "Leonardo da Vinci", so nothing to worry about.

     "Leonardo Davinci"    

     
    Is it really, I never noticed that.. If that is the case, then I think it's through respect, so perhaps it's not so bad. As long as gamers don't take the characters to be good historical references it's fine.. As far as the text on architecture and locations, it's pretty good, but I wish there was more, and I think it could have been easy to give that option to players.
