However, the Assassins don’t play much of a role. There’s a lot going on in the background and the conflicting roles that Arno and Elise play, in theory.
The conspiracy behind the murder mystery is very interesting. This doesn’t change much of the game, but it is a bit of bad science that stuck with me. Not o nly is this a weak explanation of why Arno’s memories are being searched, it’s an even weaker explanation for the cooperative multiplayer.įurthermore, while the idea of a Sage (explained in Assassin’s Creed IV as the reincarnation of Aita, a precursor who died in an experiment to find a way to save his race) having precursor DNA makes sense, precursors are described as having a triple helix DNA structure, which should render them biologically incompatible with humans, despite every playable Assassin being able to use Eagle Vision because of being descended from the precursors. The Assassins are recruiting users of the Animus based game system Helix to investigate Arno’s life in hopes of finding the body of a Sage, a person that is described as having a particularly high concentration of First Civilization DNA, before the Templars. The modern day plot was just flat out tacked on. The writers were going for a charming rogue like Ezio, but they forgot to give him an actual personality.Īnd that’s not where the issues with the story and writing end. Previous Assassins (namely Altair and Conner) have gotten flak for being overly stoic, while I’ve previously noted Shay’s tendency to complain, but Arno has nothing. In fact, I’ve already stated the most interesting part of his character: The fact that the woman he loves is a Templar. There’s not a lot of interesting things to note about his character. Also, his girlfriend, Elise de la Serre, is a Templar.Īrno is boring. Joining the Assassin Brotherhood, Arno sets out to unravel the conspiracy that lead to de la Serre’s death and stop the plotting of the Templars in hopes to end the French Revolution before it rips Paris apart. But how does Unityreally fare? Eh, it’s OK.Īfter witnessing and being framed for the murder of his adoptive father, Arno Dorian learned of the Assassins and the Templars in prison and found that his father, Charles Dorian, was an Assassin, while Francois de la Serre, who took him in after his father’s murder, was the Grand Master of the Templars. It’s been savaged by gamers and even critics haven’t given it much of a pass. Marred by technical issues and various controversies over the last year, Assassin’s Creed: Unity has had a tough time.
