The looming spires of the Cathedrals, inspired by Gothic design, give a real sense of power and fear. They give more meaning to the term "God fearing Christian". Similarly how the giant arches one must walk under in order to enter "the house of God" compell you to believe that something much bigger than mere man walks through them. The vast detail on each face, window and arch is awe inspiring. Yet, also shows how far too much money is thrown at out-dated ideas and imaginings, and how willing people are to contradict their own teachings.The Gothic era is heavily apparent in games such as Assassin's Creed, where cityscapes are littered with Gothic style religious and political buildings. The vast detailings and sculptures smartly disguise the game's parkour mechanic. Colossal bell towers become a playground, along with pidgeon droppings and bales of hay.
