As previously mentioned, Assassin's Creed is an exciting series... for the most part.

In fact, it's got just about everything you could want from a good story: romance, betrayal and conflict. It's also got tailing missions, lots of them. For whatever reason, the series has always revelled in the prospect of forcing players to wander around endlessly after a cavalcade of boring NPCs, who walk about as slowly as a dismembered slug in the midday sun.

Occasionally, you'll be tasked with listening in on a conversations or navigating a few obstacles, but regardless of the situation or the narrative implication, these tailing missions are always a monotonous chore, an unfulfilling waste of everyone's time.
