Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft Entertainment's series of masterpieces have now become "New Year's goods". I sincerely admire the number of Ubisoft’s studios around the world.

Absolutely not a title party, please read it patiently.

To talk about AC, we must talk about the game background. We must highly summarize the background and main line of AC in one sentence. It is "based on conspiracy theory, two secret organizations (assassin's order and the Templar) who secretly manipulate the world from the origin of civilization to modern society for their respective ideals" (I want to read my previous post in detail)

As one of the most popular series of games in the world, when it comes to it, we have to mention the legendary Assassin Ezio. Ezio is to Assassin's Creed just like the Lich King is to Warcraft! It is both a representative figure and a peak in the series. The most full character in the series, Ubisoft has never loved a character so much, and the Egio trilogy can be said to be the favorite work of players. (AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelation)

In the trilogy, players can experience the life of the legendary assassin Egio, from young recklessness to revenge assassin, from mature and steady to legendary assassin master. Only romantic accompanies his life.

Players also follow his growth process to experience the life of assassin and experience the style of Florence, Italy and Venice. When you have to work hard to climb up to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers, Giotto's Bell Tower, and St. Peter's Basilica synchronized, looking at the slowly rotating city below, you feel that this game is satisfied as long as you like this.

The decryption game in the second generation also allows you to see the truth. It turns out that there may be secret organizations that control everything in major historical events. This has brought players' sense of inclusion to the peak. I am really unraveling the truth of history step by step. (Second second disease attack)

The success of the trilogy is undoubtedly, but in my heart, the trilogy only describes the world belonging to the assassin, and it can even be said to be Egio's world.

Here, the assassin is the protagonist, and the Templars are just a group of despicable villains who are greedy for power and oppress civilians. They create chaos everywhere to seize power, looking for the power of the artifacts to use to rule the world. Dominate the world in order to rule the world. As "simple" villains, their existence is to wait for the protagonist to take revenge and push it. Everything is to highlight the justice of the assassins.

Such a story has turned around until AC3 takes a turn. In the first 4 chapters, the player plays the role of Helson, the father of the 3rd generation protagonist Connor (the son of Edward, the 4th generation protagonist of Black Flag, who died when he was young), a Templar who will become the future villain boss, and loves and kills his son. See why he became the Templar semi-voluntarily. Give up the pursuit of freedom and turn to pursue a progressive society and an orderly society.

And after Connor assassinated a Templar, a monologue before the Templar's death will appear.. Here we see that every Templar has its own mature political views. Perhaps the Templar's methods are extreme, but they have an independent worldview and cannot deny them one-sidedly, simply identify them as evil.

Same, do the assassins have to be just? no.

In the Assassin's Camp

It was Washington who ordered the burning of Connor's village and expelled his tribe.

It was Connor's mentor who asked him to kill his father (the peace talks were imminent) because Helson once caused him to lose one leg.

He helped the Continental Army win many important battles, but in return it was more blood and sacrifice.

After AC4 Black Flag (my personal favorite), Edward Kenway, who only wanted to make a name for himself, accidentally became an assassin and was forced to be involved in the struggle between two major secret organizations. From Edward's perspective, we can see the essence of these two organizations more clearly. At this time, the assassins seemed to destroy for the sake of destruction. As long as the Templars wanted, we cannot let them get it. They were not strong enough to buy and accept a greedy, notorious but powerful pirate Edward. (Pirates are essentially the same as robbers. Although some people are desperate, there are many people who are like the protagonists for money)

In the AC "Rebellion" released on Singles' Day in 2014, players were able to play the role of the Templar. From the perspective of the Templar, who is the assassin?

Bandits, bandits, killers. The rat in the dark mingled with prostitutes, scoundrels, and mercenaries. Specializing in sabotage, it has no contribution to society.

After saying so much, it is not a whitewashing of the Templars. They are definitely not good people like Lei Feng.

Assassin and knight are the products of different ideas, and in the long river of time, all ideas have been erased and transformed.

Back to the starting point, this world originated from conspiracy theories, so anything is possible.

As the creed says, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" Everything is empty, everything is allowed

There is also a more understandable translation as "no taboos, no truth, no truth" (but also loses some artistic conception)

It is also from here that AC has transformed from a game with a protagonist to a real world. Just like the game enters the interface to display "This game is designed and produced by a team of multi-cultural, diverse beliefs, sexual orientations and genders", the AC world is inclusive and diverse, and everyone can find the creed they agree with!

One thousand players have one thousand creeds!
