langurmonkey: What about the most recent AC? The one with the native American main character. Is the guy from today times in it?
coxdr: Desmond is in all the games so far
Warning Spoiler
This wont be a problem in future games as Desmond kind of dies in the third. This doesnt mean they wont have another person take his place, but Desmond is rat food.
So after the third AC, no more Desmond? I don't hate the guy, I just don't like things that destroy immersion. Imagine you are playing a game that takes place during the dark ages and has you play as Harald, a Viking warlord and all of a sudden, you wake up in a small room in an apartment you share with 2 other guys in some suburb in New Jersey, your name is Bob and you are a 35 year old who has a mediocre position at a supermarket. The game then makes you drive his shitty car to work so he can continue paying back his student loans and survive life. Then later the game takes you back to being a Viking warlord about to raid a unsuspecting village. Yeah, I don't think so. The mood has been killed. That is when I quit the game and do something else. That shit reminds me of WW2 movies with Germans in it who don't look very German. Then you see the King Tiger tanks rolling in and notice, they aren't King Tiger tanks but just American tanks from the 1950s and 1960s, painted gray with Iron Crosses on them. And then my brain is like WTF. Nazis went o the future, captured American tanks from the 1950s and 1960s and are now using them against the Americans during WW2?
