Assassin's Creed III Options

[StealthSigma]

My favorite part about Assassin's Creed (since II) has been that they're really embraced the whole fact that you're playing/watching a game in which the character that you are playing is also watching the "game".

Spoilers contained below, but hidden.

So, obviously it all started with the end of Assassin's Creed II. This was probably the biggest one.

You end up beating up the Pope and you make it into the vault and what happens during the conversation? Juno talks to Desmond. Cue a "What the fuck?" from me out loud immediate echoed by Desmond.

So you keep chugging along in Brotherhood and Revelation. No big deal. You find out about all these ancestor's of Desmond who have been assassin's. Altair, Altair's kids, Ezio's father, Ezio, Desmond's father, and basically Desmond as well.

Now comes Assassin's Creed III.

So you start out playing as Connor's father. Climbing all over stuff in an opera house, killing a dude with a hidden blade. You know, doing the assassin thing. Then bampf, you come to the conclusion of Sequence 3 which contains a huge implication that he screws and leaves Connor's mother. That's not the big thing, it's that Charles Lee gets welcomed into the group and becomes a....

Templar.

"Wait, what?" I said aloud only to be echoed immediately by Desmond uttering the exact same thing. Now, I guess there were a few signs. General Braddock was a bit bloodthirsty for an assassin but if you think about some of Ezio's assassin allies it isn't unheard of. Some of the conversation with the good doctor of the group might have been a bit peculiar, but overall I think they kept it very well hidden. I did have some feeling that things weren't entirely right. The whole fact that I was playing Connor's father was peculiar in its own right and I was expecting the sequence with him to end with him knocking up the indian gal and then dying shortly thereafter. Kind of like how when playing as Ezio, Ezio relived the memory of Altair conceiving the one child.

Anyway. Good so far, only got as far as meeting Achilles.
