    You got the number 1 right. Ezio and Altair is Altair library is one of the most heart breaking scenes. Rhe end of a beloved character. The closure on what happens to the OG character. The speech... Just great story telling and gets me sad just thinking about it

      @@masterassassin791 Absolutely. Not often i find AC exclusive channels on the tube. I always like to speak with people that get in depth about their love for what is my favorite video game series ever. As someone who isn't the biggest Ezio fan i adore the ending to revelations. I think i also enjoy it more simply because i am not that big of an ezio fan in comparison to some of the other protagonists. It has so much impact and ties things together beautifully. Edward on the other hand.. Just based off of BF i wouldn't even include him in a ranking that was about the best assassins if i had one because i don't feel like hes an assassin at all in the games (Not including what he does later in life after the game is over) but I love Edward so much. He saved AC for me which is weird because i think BF is the least Assassin's Creed game in the series. :D

    Desmond's story was the best by far, playing as a true assassin from birth Altair, to playing as the great Ezio. The suspense, everything you learn, and everything you feel is amazing. Without Assassin's Creeds beginning it would not have the name that it has today! There are so many people out here that Miss Assassin's Creed for what it started as, not what it's evolving into.. it's another version of Infamous or prototype just in history based Maps with the title Assassin's Creed, I'm not going to lie it's a total turn off now.

    Unpopular opinion: I think when ezio sparred rodrigo’s life that was a very bad scene. It kinda felt random and I did not experience any sort of feeling that ezio has grown. There was no reason why ezio should not have killed rodrigo. In fact it would only make the situation worse for the assassins. In the story of ac2 ezio was never punished for his actions so sparring rodrigo’s life just felt very useless for me and felt like they added it so people could say ezio went through a character arc. I think In ac brotherhood that’s when ezio should realize revenge is not the way but for ac2 I thought ezio should have killed rodrigo
