      Wasn’t the original premise that you were a dude in the present using a time machine to explore “genetic memory” in a real time simulation in order to find the ark of the covenant or spear of destiny or someshit for the Illuminati?

        Yeah, I think they crammed “becuz aliens” in there a few games later to explain away all the magic.

          They did that in the first game, actually. The apple and other artifacts were always tech left behind by an extinct “first civilization,” later named the Isu. Part of the series’ problem is that the actually interesting ideological conflict between the Assassins and the Templars was put on hold to explore increasingly elaborate Isu junk after Desmond was killed off.

        Yes, this was carried until Syndicate, which is the sixth game in the mainline series I believe. That was then changed in Origins.

      I was guessing this was about Ghost of Tsushima since it just released on PC. Is his an assassin creed thing?

          Ah ok thanks. Good on Ubisoft I guess? Black people are part of the world and deserve to be represented. I’m sad that this is a fucking point of contention.
