King's Bounty: 'Crossworlds'

[Zechnophobe]

If you look in your Hall of Fame, you will already see that Alistair the Assassin is part of the 'in jokes' in KB. Unless you've filled up most of it already that is.

I am in great expectation for this. Whenever a pre-order comes out, I want to be the first in line.

Great news! I love this game!
As for 'Alistair' it is a reference to Dragon Age, a much loved or hated party member depending on who you ask, I made him king though.

Actually I mis-typed, it is 'Altair' not "alistair" which is of course assassin's creed.

[Zhuangzi]

Whatever. I will be first in line at Gamersgate for this, just like I was with The Legend and Armored Princess.

Are you sure you're not reading a bit too much into it? Altair is also the name of one of the brighter stars in the sky. If they are indeed referencing anything at all, I think this is more likely.

Not if I beat you to it.

In both that list of challengers, and the list of hall of fame, they have an Assassin named Altair. It is possibly they were going for something else, but when a character has the same exact name and occupation as another main stream game, it is pretty good indicator.
