I started yesterday Assassin's Creed 2 on PC. I don't remember that the game asked me to select a difficulty setting at start. Is this available?

I am asking it because the fights I did in the first 2 hours I played were really easy. Are the fights more difficult when the adventure proceed?

No, there's no way to select a difficulty level in the game. You're right, the combat is not that difficult, especially when you get used to using counter-kills and are good at blocking But later on you will be facing more enemies at a time and every time you make a mistake you will lose health, so you do have to be careful. I can't remember ever actually dying in combat, though.

I don't remember about the first game, but there is also no difficulty selection in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (the 3rd in the series).

    No difficulty selection in AC1 either.

  • When will Ubisoft understand that not all gamers are casual? Thank you for answer.

  • @Drake, they've made Ezio such a proficient fighter that he could be up against 50 guys and you could get through it just fine by being careful and counter-killing. There's no sense of danger. It would have been interesting to have fighting as a last resort, with more focus on defensive things like smoke bombs, stealth takedowns and hiding bodies to ensure you only ever face a couple of people at a time. That way, when you do have to sneak into a compound and assassinate someone you're always on your toes to avoid alerting anyone. Just my 2 cents, I still enjoyed the games :)

  • Personally I think the AC games are just for the puzzles / fun (running, jumping, climbing, etc), not the difficulty of fighting, or avoiding enemies.

you want higher difficulty, just try to finish the target without actually killing or alerting any other guard as much as possible... thts all about difficulty is AC2..
