I'm trying to finish up AC2 before I start the SP, I have 11 hours played and I'm in Venice, can anyone estimate how many hours if I focus on story missions till completion?
Just finished the game the other day. Did you just get to Venice or have you been there for a while? IIRC there are about 5 major sequences (with other missions leading up to them) in Venice alone, so if you just got there you still have some time ahead of you.
It helps you understand the story more, but you should play it anyway. One of the best games from last year, worth playing even if you don't care about knowing the story.

No, just the game save. There are two types of save files AC uses, a system one and another for each of the three save slots. Be sure to save the second one.
Loving this game. I think the biggest improvement over AC2 is getting rid of those obnoxious timed levers in the "dungeon" sequences. Just completed the
abandoned papal residence/basilica
one and damn, it was gorgeous. Glad the game gave me time to enjoy the atmosphere while I was going through it.
That fucking aqueduct! I can't get up on it no matter what, and it's so god damn huge and frustrating to ride along for like 5 minutes without results... is there a map that shows places where you can climb it?
There should be a small settlement I believe on the south east portion of the map. There you can find a small building with a ladder that leads to the top of the aqueduct.
I got the 'Knife in the Hart' achievement. After a long session of AC, I had enough and went back to the menu. I saw the uplay and thought why not.
I went to what I unlocked and it did not give me the uplay points for said achievement. Anyone here experienced the same thing? Sorry for asking, I don't come in this thread that often. This game is like drugs.

Yeah, my Uplay points didn't show up for a while after I had completed the game.
The only I've bought so far is the Armor of Altair and I used leftover AC II points for that. I think I'm going to save my Brotherhood points for AC III.
Holy shit! Just played as the Blacksmith in Manhunt and got a kill where he pushed the victim to the ground and did a jumping butt slam with his sledgehammer to smash their face in...one of the most brutal kills I've seen in a game. :lol
Is there a trick on doing Dual Assassinations in the Single player? I'm capable of doing the double assassination from a ledge (above) but when two guards are standing unaware and I walk between them I always just assassinate one of them. Sometimes it works when I sprint at the two guards standing there to do the jump dual assassination - but doing a low profile double kill is impossible.
I didn't have this big of a problem in AC2. Is there something else I have to do? Like hold Square/X? Or highlight both NPCs?
UPlay sucks and it's been in beta for a long time. i have a fair amount of points and i dunno what they're for.

So the last two times I've left the animus, I haven't been able to find Lucy. I've talked to her once outside already, and there's a trail of red leaves in Eagle vision that doesn't lead to anything interesting just yet. Without spoilering too much, should I be looking harder for her?
Also, I got two of the
2012 artifacts
. Are they all available from the get-go, or do they gradually unlock?

Yeah Lucy disappears during two sequences. I have no idea why or where does she go, it's never explained. It almost seems like a bug. As for the second question, they're all available from the start. It can be a pain to find them all, so let me tell you that you get absolutely nothing for collecting them all.
I think uplay will be in beta all the time. Kinda like gmail.
Yeah, they should give you enough point to get everything with uplay.. otherwise it's a bit lame.
Give a few more challenges so you don't have to pick.

Honestly I have no idea. I just read that somewhere. I haven't beaten the game yet, but I've collected all of those. I have a few empty spots in my outfits list and I'm trying to figure out what 1 or 2 of them are.
Yet I have slots for like 3 more I think. I can't recall exactly.
Note: Those aren't really spoilers, they just skins you can unlock. If you want to be surprised then don't read but it's nothing really, except maybe one of them.

You know right after I posted that, I read that too. Derp@me. I still don't know what the other hidden ones are though. It seems no one has a complete list, unless they're armor you get when you complete certain tasks.
Assassin's Guild challenge I think is one. I'm not sure about the Romulus armor yet since I have one more temple to get.
This was a great idea I dunno why I didn't think about finding it on YouTube in a walk through. Jett and Lik (or anyone else who was trying to help me find it) the musical score thing I was talking about the other day that sounded like latin or opera singing/chanting is in this video at the 2:54 mark give or take and it cuts in pretty abruptly. I still don't think it's really it's own track.

If I remember correctly, Jesper Kyd has some unreleased tracks on his Facebook page. If you can't find what you want in the soundtrack, might want to check there.
I'm kinda surprised at how difficult it is to find some of the Truth puzzles. I felt like in AC2 it wasn't that hard to actually find them, but here I'm facing some difficulties for sure. Also, is it just me, or does the platforming not feel as tight as in AC2? Also, what's the point of getting out of the Animus?

Medico Della Peste (The Plague Doctor)
The Medico Della Peste with its long beak is one of the most bizarre and recognisable of the Venetian masks. The striking design has a macabre history originating from 16th century French physician Charles de Lorme who adopted the mask together with other peculiar sanitary precautions while treating plague victims. Traditionally the full face mask is white consisting of a hollow beak and round eye holes covered with crystal discs creating a bespectacled effect.
