The Slave can have zero notoriety and can free run, but again gains notoriety easily and can only use certain tools and weapons

You receive a whip at one point that allows you to swing, a la Indiana Jones, across large gaps via branches, scaffolding, etc., but it rarely works during free run, you must stop, wait for the game to register that there's a branch

Jumping around and navigating the free-run/free-climb seems much less precise and frustrating

But that's not the point of the game, the point is to enjoy a fully realized assassins game, with the free flowing mechanics, counter combat, free running, and just flat out killing

The counter/parry command only works some of the time, the free run kinda sends you leaping off to the wrong thing more often than the right thing

The Lady has no free running or climbing ability, but aside from that is free to go virtually anywhere she wants; she can bribe guards to let her pass, and she can charm victims in order to lure them into a secluded area and kill them with no witnesses; however she can only use an extremely limited set of weapons and tools
