Altair Syndrome
a term given to any character in a video game who inexplicably dies by simply touching the water despite them being able to accomplish many other amazing feats.
the name is taken from the character altair in -ss-ssin’s creed who, despite being a trained -ss-ssin who can leap from 50 foot towers into hay and survive, cannot swim and dies from going to deep into the water.
often used as a cheap way to stop players accessing certain areas by game developers, similar to the invisible wall.
