If you enjoy tongue-in-cheek references to popular game series, thenTails Of Iron 2: Whiskers Of Winterhas some great nods that will evoke a smile and maybe a light chuckle. One of the best early examples of TOI 2’s cheeky wit comes via a side quest you receive in the Rift – Requiescat In Pace.
If you’ve played Assassin’s Creed 2, then you’re extremely familiar with the phrase “Requiescat In Pace,” as this quest pays homage to Ezio Auditore’s signature sign-off while he finishes his targets. While most of your foes in Tails Of Iron 2 are massive monsters, this quest pits you against a lean, fleet-footed assassin, who will stop at nothing to defeat his prey.
