(Some of you may have seen this in the General Discussions Free Thread. I've moved it hear due to realizing how dumb it was to put it there.)

I've realized recently how stupid he two factions in the Assassin's Creed universe are. The Templars want totalitarian control, calling it the "true order" of keeping the world nice and happy. That's obviously wrong for numerous reasons. Meanwhile, the Assassin's are just as dumb, wanting some type of anarchist society, where everyone does whatever they please. For even more obvious reasons, this is also stupid. I think the only way the world would work perfectly is for the two factions to forever war it out with each other, with no side gaining the upper hand for too long. It's really the only thing that makes sense.

Granted, there's also the end of the world bullshit that goes on in the games, which I admit, was interesting at first, but got less interesting the more the series went on. And after AC3's ending

with Desmond dying and whatnot (which was hilarious to me, since Desmond is the most boring part of every single AC game), it really makes on wonder how in the hell the series will keep going. Desmond was supposed to be "the one," so now that he's dead, I wonder if "The Ones Who Came Before" will finally show up in the story, or if we're going to do something else with another one of Desmond's ancestors.

Honestly, I find the entire main plotline to be kinda lackluster, at best.
