Are all protagonists that we play as related to the original Desmond series excluding ofc the newest games (valhalla, origins, and spartan one)

[sonic flame]

Hmm...nope.., they each have their own nickname which I have forgotten but surely they are not related to Desmond, cause Abstergo developed an Animus in which u can have access to ancestors of different person as long as u have the memory of that person stored, which in AC4 case is Desmond

[brave hamlet]

wait so you dont need the actual person at all nowadays do you? say in Unity or Syndicate

[sonic flame]

yep, also to quote TheEagleBearer, "Just to clarify, they are not numbered subjects. BF's protag is "Noob", Rogue's protag is "Numbskull" and Unity/Syndicate's protag is "Initiate". It was around the time when they just gave up and decided to leave present-day stuff to the comics, so yeah, they're basically all just meant to be self-inserts."

[sonic flame]

besides...during AC1 and Ezio Trilogy is the first animus so...it may not be as advanced as the later ones...

[brave hamlet]

Ezio triligy isnt the first one though, the first is only in AC1 cause Desmond is removed from the abstergo facility to the Modern Assassin building during AC2 and the ezios

and so far I still havent figured out how you even get to play Arno if your playing say a kilometer away from our girl who runs background

while using the animus

[sonic flame]

Hmm....wdym?

[brave hamlet]

in Unity, you just boot the game and almost automatically pushed into the role Arno. like wouldnt I have to be physically in an animus to do so? cause Im clearlly not

[sonic flame]

you are inside the animus...do u not remember the scene where Rebecca told u if u accept the video that means u are an assassin now....., like the scene about double helix and such

[brave hamlet]

true, but to me it stil feels like shes talking to me through tele-communication on a second monitor instead of laying down besides her

[sonic flame]

this one

[brave hamlet]

aight one sec let me watch it

havent playd unity story in long while

[sonic flame]

given her experience, she could have just inserted some coding to help u communicate with her

instead of just using telecommunication inside the Animus like in AC2

[brave hamlet]

wait i figured it out ok, so I am in an animus, just like a sleep pod but still awake

at an abstergo facility somewhere and Bishop only makes telecommunication by i guess hacking into the system?

[sonic flame]

possible....and good eye..., the environment suggested it to be high tech and big which is bad for an assassin hideout

[brave hamlet]

true, but then again you see ac ezio 1 where thers still quite a bit of tech even for I think an old apartment/condo space?

[brave hamlet]

well it almost makes it sound like Im sitting in the animus and she just hacked the little screen in front of me and started a zoom call

like this lil thing was hacked

[sonic flame]

compared to that building...., this one is much bigger and u see that there is a guy in the background, and iirc...the british guy have blond hair and not dark, so...that suggests she is in abstergo building

or somewhere very tech-y

[sonic flame]

Hmm..true...

[brave hamlet]

well it could be a number of things

1 we are on an entirely different continuent from that of ac1 and the ezio series

2 we are in a abstergo facility and their just using an ac1 method again,

but theyre hiding theyre location so we dont come to them and attack in case of bleedover which may have decreased since the posibly upgrades to the anumus

[sonic flame]

yeah...

[brave hamlet]

I think i found my boy's sage

[sonic flame]

wait...wdym by method, cause BF and Rogue animus need not have a direct ancestors to utilized the memory compared to the one in AC1

[sonic flame]

Hmm....Germain? or Desmond's son?

[brave hamlet]

hello ac1 using Desmond to play as an assassin leading modern day templars to the apple

[brave hamlet]

Arno

[sonic flame]

Ah....that method....yeah...same with BF and Rogue..., not sure about Syndicate though...

[brave hamlet]

yea syndicate could be controversial

I think it could be less so if Syndicate had a multiplayer aspect instead of just heres jacob and evie see ya
