I've been replaying AC2 and I had forgotten how schizophrenic this game is
It feels like that conspiracy theory episode of Community.
At some point I was staring at war photos looking for the Apple, at another it was implied Gandhi had it and was killed for it, then Machiavelli shows up out of nowhere and says he's an Assassin, so is everyone I've ever met and I'm actually the foretold prophet. I think Lenin or Stalin were also Templars?
If I remember correctly, this all ends with me fighting the pope, Minerva showing up and saying it goes even deeper than that, and the glyphs revealling a 10s video of Adam and Eve fleeing Éden.
How did we go from that to "pirate ship goes brrr" and "stack modifiers to kill the Minotaur"?
Edit: just finished it. Minerva tells Ezio to shut the fuck up, looks at the camera and addresses Desmond directly. Not gonna lie, that shit was fire, too bad it had no pay off.
