10 Video Game Plots Nobody Fully Understands
10. Assassin's Creed Series
At this point, who honestly knows whats going on in Assassins Creed? The first game in the series was straightforward enough - even though were never given any context for Desmond the Incredibly Generic Human - but ever since then, it's been a downward spiral of nonsense. For a start, theres Ezio, who is great and everything, but somehow literally forgets that he's an Assassin at the end of AC2 and doesnt kill Rodrigo.
Then we get introduced to Minerva and the Precursors and from then on, things really start to go off the wall (and into outer space). After talking to these ancient people though Ezio (it's never really explained how this happens), Desmond learns theres a solar flare coming which will destroy the Earth, unless it's (somehow) stopped by special Vaults, which can only be opened with a special amulet; so we have to go back into Connors memories to get it.
Except that stopping the solar flare releases the Precursor Juno into the world for some reason and also kills Desmond, so now were playing as a random Abstergo agent, going through the Great Age of Pirates looking for the Sage, who is a human but also a Precursor, and... you know what? Never mind, stabby-stabby stealthy-stealthy, right? As exciting as Syndicate looks, it's only going to make this mess of a plot even more complicated.
