9 Improvements Needed For A Successful Assassin's Creed Sequel

The Problem

Assassin's Creed's characters lack development across the board. The Assassin's in both the past and present are criminally underdeveloped, speaking few lines and given little emotional motivation. Delving deeper into the brotherhood between the Assassin's and how they feel about the Templars would make them thoroughly more relatable and a group that the audience is more likely to root for.

The biggest faux pas, in terms of character development, has to be the protagonist, Callum Lynch. Throughout the film, Lynch is a thoroughly two-dimensional character. Portrayed as nothing more than a slightly emotional unstable criminal.

Despite acting on his mother's death on several occasions, it isn't mentioned enough to have really seemed to have affected him. It is also unclear as to why he becomes so enthused with helping the Assassin's as he shows little interest in anything that is going on around him, seeming nothing more than a passenger.

The Solution

The sequel should delve into the life Lynch has left behind as well as what has caused him to be so invested in the Assassin's brotherhood now. This should go a long way to develop the character's personality because, as of now, he has none.
