In any era, freedom is the yearning of everyone's heart, and pure freedom triggers chaos. At this time, order is needed to calm this chaos. The oppression brought by absolute order is unbearable to people. Whenever one side falls into extremes, the other side will inevitably confront it. The two are entangled, just like light and dark, which are not harmonious but indispensable.

In the large-scale game "Assassin's Creed" produced by Ubisoft, a story from ancient times to the present has been weaved for everyone. On one side is the assassin organization representing the symbol of freedom, and on the other side is the Templars representing order. The battle between the two is interspersed with various historical events.

The Assassin's Creed series of games, I think it is one of the most outstanding scripts in the game industry in recent years. The content is no less exciting than World of Warcraft. In fact, there are many articles about AC that want to mention, but whenever you type the keyboard, you back down. The content of AC is very large. The structure of the story is threaded between illusion and reality. The two are perfectly integrated and integrated into a large number of real historical events, forming a set of your own real worldview.

Regarding the AC series, Lao Lang just played the main story. Next, we will talk about the game "Assassin's Creed", as well as the Assassin's "creed" and the dogmas of the Templars. The various disputes and grievances between the two. Lao Lang has a limited understanding of this game and can only start from his own understanding point of view, so the content is biased. Please forgive me.

Assassin's Creed Game Body

From the perspective of the game, Assassin's Creed was undoubtedly a very novel and creative game at that time. The self-created "Hawkeye" mode has now become an indispensable element in major 3A games. With the support of the previous work "Prince of Persia", Assassin's Creed became quite popular in the early stages of the game, and also helped Ubisoft become a real 3A-level game manufacturer at critical moments.

There are many elements in the game, including parkour, assassination, fighting, decryption, collection, etc. As a third-person sandbox game, each main story has a considerable map that allows players to explore freely, and at the same time, there are rich main branches interspersed in it to increase the players' experience.

Let's not talk about the game's gameplay aside. Players who have played it know that the gameplay of each generation is basically fixed and there are not many novel things. Ubisoft's "Formula 3A" is just another point, but Assassin's Creed has still attracted a large number of AC fans in the formulaic process. Why is this?

The main reason is the plot of the game. From a world perspective, Assassin's Creed is an action drama that combines time travel, costumes, actions, history, myths and other contents. From another perspective, looking at the world history from ancient times to the present, although there are assassins and saints in each historical event.The two fictional forces of Knight Templars exist, but if you put aside these two organizations, you will find that the stories Ubisoft present to you are no different from real historical events!

Players who want to get involved in this series may wish to start directly from the Assassin's Creed trilogy. The first part is not recommended due to optimization problems, just learn about the plot. The trilogy is the pinnacle of the Assassin's Creed series and is also the work with the most exciting story content.

The most exciting thing is that you can see the growth of the characters and experience the story of Egio's life, from the young playboy to the ambitions of middle-aged people, showing their sharpness and wisdom in old age, and by the way, I also soaked up the beauty Sophia when I was old.

Assassin and the Templar

The Templar

After talking about the main body of the game, let’s talk about the two major forces in the game. These two major forces are the Assassin Organization and the Templar. In the world view of Assassin’s Creed, the Templar Organization is very strong and has a very deep foundation.

This organization has existed since ancient times. According to legendary records, it is very likely that it was established by Cain. All major events in history were basically driven by the Templars behind the scenes. Until the Middle Ages, the Templars combined with the Holy See and officially left behind and went to the open.

In modern times, the Knights Templar established a large enterprise called "Abstergo", and used the machine Animus to experience the name of ancestors to attract people to use it, and recruit people with assassin blood to join the company to extract the memories of their ancestors. The purpose of this is to find the legendary fragments of Eden and thus establish an absolute order

Assassin Organization

If only the Templars were the dominant one in the torrent of history, the Templars' wish might have been realized long ago, but the establishment of an absolute order would inevitably cause people to fight against them. So the Assassin Organization appeared, and with freedom and equality, everyone recruited a large number of people to fight against the Templars.

There have been detailed records since 456 BC. During the Crusades, the legendary assassin Altaïr developed and grew stronger. Although it was almost at the verge of defeat, the assassin's bloodline remained. During the Renaissance, the assassin's mentor Egio grew stronger again. Since then, it has been developing to this day, and has been in a peak showdown with the Templars.

During this period, the assassin did not win every time, and the Templars did not fail every time. Both were back and forth. Basically, in various periods, the Templars were in power, and the Assassins belonged to the undergroundActivity, secret action.

Two sides struggle with grudges

To put it bluntly, the struggle between the assassin and the Templars is to establish a regime and overthrow the reincarnation of the regime. If anyone loses, the Templars will still have great strength after all and have always gained the upper hand. The assassin can only act secretly. On the one hand, the overall strength is not as strong as the Templars, and on the other hand, it is also in line with their own dogmatic beliefs.

However, if we really want to say who is right and who is wrong, there is nothing wrong with both. The Templars hope to lead mankind forward by establishing order, thus establishing a strict class system and rules. The assassin opposed this order, believing that everyone is equal and everyone has autonomy, advocating freedom, unreasonable control and dictatorship are not desirable.

Ubisoft official also put forward his own attitude. It is not that assassins represent justice. Templars represent evil. In the work "Assassin's Creed: Rebellion", the player plays the role of Templars Shay, transformed from an assassin. From the perspective of Templars, what would happen if there was any freedom? Order and freedom are both indispensable.

Assassin's dogma and belief

The Templars have their 72 principles, and each Templar acts according to these principles. Compared with the Templars' comprehensive principles, the assassin's creed seems a bit illusory. The simple sentence "Everything is empty, everything is acceptable" has become the belief in every assassin's heart.

However, everything is empty and everything is acceptable. Every assassin has a different understanding of it. In the long river of history, there are very few assassins who can comprehend this sentence. Otherwise, everyone will be an assassin mentor. In terms of literal understanding, nothing can stop me, nothing can be done, and even more vulgar, it is nothing to want, and whatever you want.

This vulgar understanding led to the work "Assassin's Creed: Rebellion", many assassins became increasingly willing and unscrupulous, and Shay became the Templar and re-established order. According to the official definition and understanding, this sentence should be translated in this way, to quote Egio's understanding.

The foundation of social civilization is fragile. We must become the guardians of our own civilization. This is that everything is empty, while we are the control of our own behavior. We bear the consequences of our own behavior, whether it is glory or tragedy, this is that everything is allowed.

The real source of this sentence comes from the German philosopher Friedrich William Nietzsche, whose core view is the pursuit of freedom, but it is not very applicable now. After some changes, it has become Ubisoft's creed for the assassins.

Assassin who truly understands the creed

In fact, in Ubisoft's world, the number of assassins is definitely not a small number. When every assassin accepts his identity, he will remember this dogma in his heart and interpret it through his life experience. However, there are very few assassins who truly understand it.

Even among the protagonists of all generations, not everyone has understood this sentence. What people need is not order or freedom, but the balance point between the two. Whether it is the assassin or the Templar, they actually know this.

Ultimate freedom and ultimate order bring people not paradise but disasters and pain. Both sides may not understand this truth and still fight. Perhaps they pretend to be confused and use the hats of freedom and order to fight for power and throne. The key factor that can lead one side to victory is the Holy Artifact of Eden, which is also an item that both sides are constantly pursuing.

And assassins who truly understand this dogma, such as Altaïr, Egio, and Shay, knew very well that if this balance was broken, they would only get the disadvantages, so they all chose to protect this balance point and hid the holy instrument of Eden deeply. They, who have been living for a long time, knew very well that human nature was very good, so they all hid with fragments of Eden in the end.

On the other hand, Connor, a berserker who directly participated in the historical event "American Liberation War", did not understand this creed. All he did was to obey another ruler and overthrow the current ruler in his name, holding the name of freedom, but in the end he supported another ruler. If it were not for the illusion of the fragments of Eden, perhaps Washington would really be like the tyrant in the DLC, brutal and raging!

The story about the assassin has come to an end here. Lao Lang has not gone to play and has not learned about the origin and Odyssey content. Although the game content is formulated, the story of Assassin's Creed under Ubisoft is definitely worthy of your understanding. In Ubisoft's current main worldview, Assassins and Templars also exist, and this thing has also been mentioned in the works at the doorstep.
