But the moment you start playing as Ronkatonk they become as simple as the villains in AC2 and its spin-offs. Even Ronkalatonken's father has hardly any redeeming values at that point, remains an asshole till the very end. Not to mention Charles Lee.

The Templar and Assassins represent a clash between benevolent authoritarianism and chaotic liberty. The dialogue in AC1 captures that extremely well with good points made on both sides. Can the people be trusted with freedom as the Assassins want? Can those in power be trusted to wield it rationally as the Templar envision? In modern AC the Templar are just tyrants and the Assassins are plucky freedom fighters. The flaws of the Templar and good traits of the Assassins are magnified with no grey area and no challenging questions.

@@bestknifefighters5841 the reason why AC2, AC:B and AC:R made the templars look like evil people is because a large number of the templars were evil or deplorable in real life. I think one of the few Templars in the Ezio Trilogy that isn't seen as an Evil Sod historically is Uberto Alberto (and in game it's explained that he only turned to the templars to get back at the Medici who evicted his family, which is a very human thing to do and isn't inherently evil). The Templar Order in the first 2 games of the Ezio Trilogy were headed by Rodrigo Borgia and later his son Cesare. Rodrigo is known to be one of the most deplorable men in the age of the renaissance with Cesare being one of the few who actually surpass him in that regard. In Revelations this is different but some of the Templars in that game were still seen by history to be evil men. I love it when the game makes you question whether or not the assassin's or the templars are right but in Renaissance Italy.. there were so many evil men and women that you could do a Good vs. Evil story.

In my personal opinion, there is a large amount of grey-and-gray morality. Aside from the Borgias and their allies, who weren't true Templars in my opinion, the Templars are portrayed as the antagonists solely because our protagonists are all Assassins. They make some very good points about the world they live in, and how it could benefit from order and purpose, people united in a common goal, but the problem is that they want to achieve this through total control. The Assassins want to preserve human freedom and individuality, another worthy cause, but they KILL people to achieve this. Also, look at how the Assassins have degenerated over time: in AC1, they were a fairly public order which was known about at the very least, and they sought to protect freedom. By AC2, however, they've been reduced to aligning themselves with the dregs of Italian society (prostitutes, thieves and mercenaries) as well as corrupt or brutal leaders such as the Medici and Caterina Sforza. They manage to build themselves up again, but they're still clearly in with the wrong sorts of people. In Constantinople, the Assassins have openly taken a side in the Ottoman-Byzantine conflict rather than leaving them to sort out their own business. By AC3, in Colonial America and in modern times, they've been reduced to a shadow of their former self. And when thing that becomes clear in AC3 is that the Assassins have clearly lost their purpose. They used to aspire to protect freedom and preserve peace, but in AC3 they're just blindly killing Templars because that's all that they know how to do, even though the situation would've been better if they'd just left them alone. Look at the Assassins' history: they flourish in times of conflict, when their services are needed and there are Templars out in the open, ripe for the killing. But the moment the Templars are defeated or go underground and the Assassins are left with the task of managing their Brotherhood, they sooner or later collapse into obscurity
@jhintentionalfeed91610 жыл бұрын
Agreed. Which side you are on truly depends on your moral values and the way you look at the world. Both organizations offer a way to make the world better. Templars believe order and discipline is the way while Assassins believe freedom is. But I feel the Assassins are a bit naive in this. Humans are too corrupt to trusted with true freedom. Connor perhaps believed in freedom so strongly because he grew up in a place of true freedom and it worked but this is not the same with other cultures.

@@MoonfallMidnight It's ironic how Abstergo and Ubisoft have many parallels. In the first AC game Templars and Assassins were morally ambiguous as memories were not edited, but then Abstergo warped the memories to make Templars right just like how Ubisoft turned assassins into good freedom warriors and templars the greedy merchants. Or how Animus had bugs at first and it was harder to control the memories, but as Abstergo developed and released Animus to the public they dumbed it down? Similar to how first AC games had rougher mechanics that needed effort to master, and Ubisoft dumbed it down to reach a wider audience.

This is why I enjoyed the original game a tad more than the Ezio trilogy. As great as those games were, they derailed the Templars by changing them from men using questionable or vile means to achieve truly noble ends, into just your average stock dollar store cartoon villains. What makes this series great is that our protagonists and antagonists are morally grey. Both do commit evil but for noble goals. What they want is good, but what makes the Assassins and Templars enemies is how they seek to achieve that end goal. Ezio made it easy to kill the targets because they were obviously evil with no redeemable qualities. With Altair, you knew they had to die but with each you begin to question if there was another way or not.

I always wondered why time seemed to freeze during memory corridors, but I have a theory: What the memory corridors are is an aspect of Eagle Sense where you enter a sort of spiritual realm that you can enter as you are taking a life. Assassins have learned to use it as a tool for allowing their targets to speak their final words, and getting confessions out of them.

Thanks for this. I couldn’t work it out and it has played on my mind for years. I never came to this conclusion- but it sounds right! There’s a variation of the memory corridor (AC 4) wherein I believe the fluctuating aether in the background represents Schopenhauer’s ‘Will’ (at least I’m quite sure of it). Incidentally, there was something so compelling about these games that I became convinced that ancestral memory is a real thing, and I tried very hard to evoke the “whispers of my ancestors”. Sadly, I never induced dream-sequence-like experiences quite as poetic or romantic as this, but in a way, you could say that I _heard their whispers_ . A small victory, if anti-climactic. Took a lot of pain and suffering however, and an endeavour I’d suggest is not for the faint-hearted. Probably not worth the effort for most, especially given the perhaps underwhelming nature of the outcome. Nevertheless, I still hold out an irrational belief that such experiences can be obtained, somewhere, somehow, by God knows what means. I enjoyed reading your comment.

@@philosotree5876 Schopenhauer was an early 19th c. German Philosopher (ref. Google). He wrote a famous treatise: _The world as Will and Representation_ (a treatise being an academic term for an intellectual book/paper covering some subject matter extensively). In it, Schopenhauer discusses his take on metaphysics (a philosophical term meaning that which extends “beyond” or “above” the physical plane), and he discussed the ‘Will’ as a fundamental source, aether-like perhaps (though I’m not sure he described it this way), that drove all things, and connected all things despite their difference in external appearance (that externality being the ‘phenomenal’ world). It is perhaps just this firmament, Schopenhauer’s ‘Will’, which is visually alluded to in the background of AC 4’s memory corridors. But, that’s a wild & intuitive speculation.

Tired of the wicked justifications of evil men, the fida'i interrupts him. "Freed it, you fool! ...From the tyranny of faith..." The downed man's breathing grows weaker. His voice gargled with blood. "Freedom?!" Altaïr cannot stand this demon staining such a beautiful word. The stoic composure, so well-cultivated by him, breaks for only a moment. "You worked to overthrow cities! Control men's minds! Murdered any who spoke against you!" A slight smirk shows up in the Templar's face. These are his last seconds in this forsaken world, but he cannot not find the irony amusing. "I followed my orders... believing in my cause... Same as you." Meister Sibrand's last uttering was whispered in the ears of the dark figure towering above him, as he walked into that eternal dream. At that last moment, his terror of non-existing, of being pure matter like the many stones and dust around the two men, vanished. He accepted. He let go. Yet, full of regret for not being able to save more lives in this barbaric war, because of an extremist. One among many in the Levant.

Still my favorite game in the series No game like it before or since has the same atmosphere or writing style There's such a creepy ambiance the animus has in the first game that is brought out especially in these thick "digital foggy" memory corridors. It's like Altair is talking with them in purgatory before passing on, the interactive camera angles are such a nice touch too and the VA work is top notch.

Check the ps1 blood omen legacy of kain , It surpasses ac1 ( ac1 IS my favorite ac game )

AC writing went downhill after AC1. AC1 was the best AC story. The Templars were morally grey complex characters who had benevolent motivations and sinister means. AC2 onward the Templars just became one-dimensional mustache-twirling villains... Those dialogs constantly highlight Altair's hypocrisy where he judges others for the same things he does himself. This helps him question what he's being fed and grow. Altair's story is pretty simple but it's competently written and very engaging... I recently played AC: Odessy and couldn't find even one character as nuanced as any of those assassination targets in AC1.

I remember AC3 being pretty good in the moral grey area

I dream to this day how good AC2 might have been if they actually followed the steps of the original

growing older and seeing what occurs now in the world, i see that Templars were right all the way.

AC1 and AC3 has the best memory corridors in the series, mostly because most of the templars in the ezio's trilogy we're corrupted by the Borgias and their obsession to power, they didn't really follow their creed

Agree. The stories and templars were so good.

Altair's REAL voice and not the crummy actor that they replaced him with in Revelations!

The actual, correct animus translation from Arabic to English is from the animus 2.0.

Except Altaïr was Syrian and shouldve had an accent. Instead, he sounded like someone who didnt belong in that time frame.

I'll take a Syrian accent over this. The one American accent in a mix of middle-eastern and European accents bothered me even when this game first came out.
