Not in Assassin’s Creed III</b><br /><br />According to a story posted at PlayStation Universe, developers of Assassin’s Creed III initially included a depiction of scalping in the game’s action, but removed it when they discovered the practice was a historical inaccuracy.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.com
