so their excuse for Altairs new and shitty voice is that he somehow will get an american accent when using the first Animus from AC1, but that doesn't make any seance, because in the start of AC2, Desmond use the Animus, and u see when Ezio is getting born, and the italien people having a italien accent and not an american. and it lookes like Al Mualim have the same voice and accent as in AC1. so why can Altair voice change? this make no seance and it is dissapointing and anoying that they f*ck up the awesome voices AND the storyline (and desmond's face). i know ubisoft haven't actully said this but a lot of other people have said this (the thing about an american accent in the first animus) but they will probably use the shitty excuse. and there is also this weird thing about Ezio and Altair, that they suddently now ain't related??
