it also discusses some flaws and debate regarding the upcoming AC3, but that's not why I'm linking it to you There's a good chunk of it that explains why people love AC2 and, specifically, Ezio.


For the record, I don't really agree with his central point regarding Desmond's plotline being the main plotline. I have always felt like Desmond's plotline existed solely as the platform and "Reason" for the other stories, and has grown slowly into it's own story. The author of this article clearly has a different view as to how "main plotline" Desmond's story is, and thus we interpret the slow pace differently. I absolutely agree with him that I don't think the developers really knew what they were going to do with Desmond, but I think this is because Desmond wasn't really The Point.

Given that his plotline will be concluding in AC3, I expect it will be much better and play a much stronger role in this last episode...but considering I get to kill Redcoats with a Tomahawk, I don't think I'll care too much unless they make Desmond's story truly BAD
