I enjoyed Setting Sun. Probably not as much as trial by fire, though. I really liked the historical setting as it was one not often explored in popular culture, so it was a lot more original. I particularly liked the relationship between Quila and Don Pardo. I liked that one of them was the serious, driven character with a clear goal, whereas the other was a big drunk teddy bear holding them back, who showed his true colours in the end. This combined with the lighter, more colourful, art style made it feel almost like a Disney animated movie, but with the added grit and violence of Assassin's Creed. I'm glad we finally get to see Erudito, although having Charlotte's grandmother appear as a member seems a little bit... convienient(?) I can't help but agree with the point raised about the AC spin offs becomming too plot critical, especially with the Project Phoenix stuff being featured in Uprising.

I have to say, I enjoyed this considerably more than trials by fire. I generally find reading comics and graphic novels quite hard, so it took me longer to get through this but it was easier for me to follow it on as opposed to trials by fire where I had to keep reading back. I dont really have a strong opinion, but I really like how they brought this different culture in and how we got to see something that a game may not necessarily portray.

I love that they bought Erudito back ! the comics and novels are great but it's sad that this much of the modern day happens outside of the games (comics, novels and the movie). Although I am a bit of a hypocrit because this way we get much more content and see different aspects of the AC Universe ;)

To be honest, Im surprised that Dedsec hasn't been more involved within the assassins creed series. The first watch dogs and assassins creed 4 proved that they were in the same universe, and now that erudito is back in the story, I really hope that Dedsec is at least mentioned at one point. They are the type of group that goes after corrupt corporate companies in the games, and I'm pretty surprised that Abstergo wasn't even mentioned at all in watch dogs 2.

That's because those are just easter-eggs. I was hoping for an Ubivers as well, but some higher-up shatterd that in saying they did't intend on making a full universe.

shhhh I had reasons xD

[@KonniWynn]

Not quite yet, no. KH is waaaay to out there, including tone. Partialy it's goofy stuff with Disney characters, Sora or Ven, but bayum, it's philosophical talk about Light creating darkness. Though KH comes from FF and AC from Prince of Persia. Think about it. CONSPIRACY?! na
