de Sable/de Sablé
Hey Jasca
About the Robert de Sable article. Throughout the entirety of Assassin's Creed, his name is pronounced as "de Sable", which, in English, means "of sand". Apparently (I didn't know this), he is based on the historical figure Robert de Sablé, with surname referring to his birthplace "of Sablé". I am now firing up the game to check if his surname is spelled anywhere. I propose you change back his surname to "de Sable", rather than "de Sablé", because it is unnecessarily confusing, and add it in the Trivia section or something.
Thanks for reading. Crook The Constantine District 13:11, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
- With respect, I won't be doing that. His name is Robert de Sablé ("of Sablé"), because he held lorship over the region of Sablé-sur-Sarthe in Anjou, France. Also, even if the game uses the spelling "Sable", the wiki use native spellings of names for its articles; e.g. Jeanne d'Arc. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 14:05, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
- This is not about native spelling, this is about misspelling. For some reason or other, Ubisoft made a mistake during their research, turning "Robert de Sablé" into "Robert de Sable", and having every character subsequently pronounce "sable" like the French word for sand, rather than the French commune. Since the Wiki is primarily based on the game, I believe "de Sable" takes precedence over "de Sablé". Any person with some bare knowledge of French that has played Assassin's Creed would be confused if his article (which is still title "Robert de Sable" btw). I still support this being relegated to Trivia. What does the encylopedia say on him anyway? Is he from the region Sablé-sur-Sarthe like his historical counterpart?

- My question to you is; why would he be called Robert of Sand? Also, the only reason the article is still spelt "de Sable" is due to the page move option being locked. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 14:36, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

- This is not about the why, since it's pretty obviously a mistake. This is about clarity and consistency. He is referred to as "Robert de Sable" in every instance of canon within the series (Assassin's Creed, the Encyclopedia, The Secret Crusade), so his article should reflect that. In fact, the only source supporting "Robert de Sablé" is Wikipedia, which stands outside the series as a whole, and should come second to any data on the game. Again, we should relegate this to Trivia, where we explain that Robert de Sable is based on the historical figure Robert de Sablé. Crook The Constantine District 14:49, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree to Crook's option. What is in the game, should be in the wiki. Joan of Arc's native name may be Jeann'deArk but in my point of view, I think it is like that because either it is corrected somewhere in any game or she is a minor character, whereas Robert de Sable is not. Edward Thatch (I know his name is modified) explains in trivia section his actual historical counterpart's name, and so should Robert's article.

Concerning the accomplishments page, sorry, I just copy-pasted the templates from Bloodlines, I didn't know it would include the "good article" category. 83.108.84.147 11:06, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, we don't add the middle name in the default sort on any other articles. Stormbeast ♉ The Helpful Place 08:20, October 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
I am sorry to ask you this personaly but nobody is answering back to my post..
I have a doubt that is probably too simple, since i didnt find any answer to it online.
I have to choose between buying AC 3 for 30€ and AC 3 + Hidden Secrets, Battle Hardened and Tyranny of George Washington for 50€.
My main question is - are the DLC free? How much do the extra missions cost if i download them if i buy the simple AC3?
Thank you very much
