20 Biggest WTF Moments In Assassin's Creed History
7. Desmond, Finally In Action (Assassin's Creed 3)
After years of sitting around, complaining and generally being a vacuous waste of space, Desmond is finally called into action in Assassin's Creed 3. He isn't tasked with much, but we are able to complete a few objectives, navigate a handful of futuristic environments, conceal ourselves from a dozen or so guards, and generally engage with the world as an active participant, rather than as a lifeless plank of wood.
It was a nice moment because it made sense. It represented the culmination of Desmond's journey throughout the previous four games, reliving his ancestors' experiences, learning their skills through example.
It was great to see him finally evolve into the assassin we all wanted him to become, even if it didn't lead to much else.
