Regarding the "He's not actually doing anything" part, I'd love to correct you properly but it's so brain-meltingly convoluted that I'm not sure this is going to help - Desmond _is_ actively walking around the memories of his ancestor, the conceit is supposed to be that he's attempting to reenact the actions of the past as closely as possible, in chronological order. It's the in-universe reason for the inaccessible zones - "You can't go there because Altair hadn't gone there yet, he has no memories of that place until after he murdered that one guy", and why you accrue desynch points for murdering civvies, because Altair didn't do that. It also "explains" why you as the player suck at the game at the start - "you" haven't properly synchronised with Altair. I remember thinking it was incredibly clever from a game design standpoint at the time, and then they made more games and it all made way less sense with each successive isntallment.

Was this the start of Fassbender's career taking a huge hit? Because for awhile, he seemed like he was going to be or even was A-list.

And then he disappeared until 2023.

As James mentions, it is very faithful to the games. Fanship is definitely a factor, I cannot imagine someone unfamiliar with Assassin's Creed getting much out of it.

The music by Jed Kurzel is fantastic; also, the person re-living their ancestor's memories IS basically doing everything that is happening on the screen in the simulation. Even though they are not physically moving while hooked up to the Animus, their brain is sending all the signals required for the movement, it's just resulting in their ancestor's "avatar" performing those actions in the simulation. The person connected to the Animus is also acquiring muscle memory from this, so when they wake up they are able to do everything they have been doing as their ancestor.

In the early games, Desmond isn't technically going into the past or going into his own ancient memories, he's going into a computer simulation built from his memories(as well as others) and actually playing out the actions of his ancestor in order to accurately sync up the events. That's why when you do something the ancestor didn't do(like dying or killing civilians, etc.) it causes things to desync.
