Assassins Creed - setting for No.3?

[dax]

Save yourself the bother and just read the synopsis for the first game all you'll miss is some details about the pieces of eden and what the templars are up to.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed

The second game has different characters from the first and expands upon the background story but can easily be played without playing the first. I played the first but never finished it due it being too repetitive - locate person,pickpocket,assasinate repeat ad nausuem, I lost interest halfway through. It didn't spoil my enjoyment of the second game which is much more varied.

Oh and on topic an AC:Botherhood producer is saying WW2 is a possible setting for AC3. Personally I don't want to see WW2 it's to modern (relatively speaking!)

Yeh I figured a Wiki synopsis would do. To be honest given the reported repetitive nature of the game I would be unlikely to finish it anyway.

For my 2 cents a WW2 setting would be good fun. Sneaking about doing assassinations in Nazi occupied Paris would be interesting.

There's already such a game, called The Saboteur, it involves freerunning, sniping nazis from rooftops, hijacking tanks and disguising to blow upp nazi positions. An assassins creed version could hardly be better.

I've played through Brotherhood, and to me, it seems like Ubisoft is trying to reinstate the investigations from the first game. I can't speak for multiplay, but the campaign is awesome
Also, an Assassins Creed set in ancient rome wouldn't be bad. You could be Brutus

1st half of the game will be like set in a time after ACB (so after rome) , but will be about desmond being the ultimate assassin.

I read this in some interview somewhere, or might have been the collectors editions dvd's.

my moneys on somewhere in london though,if thats where desmond is from?

I'm guessing with his American accent, probably not.

Yes, there are quite a few elements that didn't quite work in AC1 because they were too bland and repetitive, but this time round they've brought them back, only now they work. I'm loving Brotherhood, about 50% of the way though, enjoying setting my assassins on people. Though I'd like to be able to tailor my assassins a bit more - the upgrade system is very simplistic, and doesn't seem to have any direct effect - a Level 4 assassin will have the same chance of success with any mission, regardless of whether they've got max armour or max weapons. And I hate that the top level of weapon is a battleaxe - seriously, that just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, the battleaxe isn't exactly the most logic choice. I actually thought that you could choose the multi-player classes(courtesan, priest, etc) for your recruits.. It would actually have been rather fun, and small side-quests to recruit that assassin.
For example, recruiting a soldier would force you to kill his entire squad and fake his death so none would expect him to live as an assassin... Well, you can't have it all...

Yes, exactly that. So you'd send a doctor or a courtesan on a poisoning mission, but a mission to kill a mercenary might require a more direct kind of assassin.

Exactly! We can only hope Ubisoft one day will include this.

Well, they do seem to be doing a good job of taking criticism of their games and using it to ensure they fix the problem with interest by the time of the next game. The difference between AC1 and AC2 really shows that. The brotherhood mechanic is a new one to the series, so I expect them to make huge improvements to it if it features again, and I hope it will - there's something very satisfying about calling in another assassin to take out an enemy guard. One of my all time favourie moments in AC:B was escorting a senator to safety while using my assassins to take out any guards - I never had to lift a finger, just lead him by the safest route while assassins dropped from the rooftops to kill patrols as I walked past.

They need to make the missions take a bit longer though. If I send an assassin on a mission to Moscow, I expect him to be gone more than 20 minutes! Sending someone on a mission ought to be a decision you have to think about, not just a no-brainer.

I think 20's/30's Chicago would be an AWESOME AC setting.

That mission was indeed enjoyable The Brotherhood is like having a dumbass friend with a hidden blade who follows you everywhere

Indeed, the mission system was a bit ****ed up. It was just to send 'em there, go by foot to the next pigeonplace and assign them again:/

Bizarrely though...

You spend the whole battle building up the Assassin order so that you are strong enough to take on the Borgia, and yet when you get to fight Cesare you're on your own, so the whole thing feels like a complete waste of time.

Just finished the game (well, apart from finishing all the side quests). Quite annoyed that...

I didn't get a chance to get the Armour of Romulus before the end of the game.

What's the point in that?

[Inquisitor Engel]

If I had my way it'd be in Victorian London or Revolutionary France, preferably during the Reign of Blood.

Preferably the latter. Please.

There is a bit right at the end of AC:B where

Sean says there's only one place where you find both the Mason's pyramid/eye symbol and another type of symbol in the same place... you don't get to hear where that place is because that's where it goes all weird and Desmond stabs Lucy

so, anyone remember what the other symbol was? And if so, anyone have any idea where you might find both symbols? That masonic symbol appears on the Dollar bill doesn't it...?

"A Frygian Cap"
And yep. It's american. Ben Franklin and all those chaps where probably assassins.

[ctsteel]

what about during the time of the Spanish Inquisition? A time of darkness, oppression and fanatical blood-letting, all in the name of religion (and politics). A perfect time for the Brotherhood to sit up and take notice, and possibly intervene if they don't like the way things are going.

[MistaGav]

It seems like the whole building up the assassins creed is a bit of a concept, not a failed concept though but one that needs to be expanded on more. Bit like what happened between AC1 and 2 where they really expanded the options.

I'm going to guess that the next one will be set in Russia and that I think is down to the comics. For starters they are building on the story of this new character, they wanted to feel like this character was a part of the whole picture and the recent 'survey' suggested that they wanted to incorporate the comics and the Facebook game into it too so yea...that's my arguement!

[hellharlequin]

my money goes on vienna or Constantinopel

"Phrygian" isn't it?

Actually, the only place I can think of that has both the Phrygian Cap and the All-Seeing Eye is French as opposed to American.

The Cap is at the top of the "tablet" and the eye is above the whole thing.

[Hrokka `Eadsplitter]

It probably is So french rev?
