I'll sign on with the either Victorian England crowd or directly Desmond for the third installment. I saw Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downy and I couldn't help but think, this would be perfect for AC3. But given the ending of AC2 (which sucked and was a huge cop out.) Playing Desmond seems to be the more likely of the two. I don't think it could be in Japan or China because of the ancestry. Also, each location has historical and religious significance. China and Japan practice religions that are not what the previous games have discussed. I believe the game will stay in Europe or move the the US.
Assassin's Creed 3: Where/when should it take place?

I have a feeling that the first half will be a few different remaining ancestors (possibly including one in WW2) but then the rest will be Desmond.
I would have to agree that Victorian England would be an interesting setting. And if they did I could see Jack the Ripper as a templar aiming to help control the populous through fear and terror, as is their standard modus operandi. I could also see some sort of reference to Sherlock Holmes or even Watson somehow, though it might seem more than a little forced.
Either present day, England I dont care what time just England or Egypt because Egypt is cool. I dont really care that much as ong as it make sense and is fun to play.
Well, I still don't want it to be in the Far East. At the most, maybe when the Westerners brought Christianity over to Japan and China, but I've personally had my full of Far East idolization. Considering the way most people think of ninjas, having Assassins and ninjas seem redundant, unless we the players fight ninjas.AzrealMaximillion said:
How about the American Revolution? Not only will it put Glen Beck's tits in a knot, but, apparently, the Assassins lose their grip on the New World. Having the Illuminati/ Freemasons show up would be appropriate as allies or Templar incarnate (AC is turning into a better written Dan Brown story anyway). I also wouldn't mind it taking place in French-occupied Louisiana or Spanish California and Mexico (Zoro!)
I totally agree that it should be set in Victorian England, since yesterday when I posted -

Ooh, I just had a brain wave... PIRATES!!

I was thinking of this when I got all of the Truth videos in Screed 2 and I think that it has potential, but how would you go about fighting the ET-sus guys?HSIAMetalKing said:
Unless we, for some reason, play as a Templar that won't be a problem. In the game universe, both the Axis and the Allies (or at least the USA) were controlled by the Templars so we could end up fighting both sides at one point or another like in AC1.Eisenfaust said:
French Revolution would be good. During the War of the Roses between England and France but that would have the story backsliding historically speaking since that took place between 1455 to 1485. I'd like to see something in England prior to the American Revolution.
Medieval England would be nice or around the time the British Empire was dominating.
Ancient China i think would be pretty epic as well, but then that's going really far back in time, but hey, the animus can take you anywhere i guess.
If not them, then somewhere where very few games have been made in that era say, spain at some point. If Assassins creed wanted to go for it, they could do the spanish civil war, but i'm not quite sure how that would work out.

I think the game just wouldn't feel right if we weren't in a Mediterranean setting. The best move for next game would be Hapsburg Spain, probably the resistance against Napoleon. Spain has a ton of religious architecture, both Christian and Muslim, and a surprisingly high urban concentration. It would fit like a glove for AC3.
this may have been said already [too lazy to check for test ninjas] but victoria era england. i would LOVE to see jack the ripper introduced as one of your mentors. he was rather handy with a blade aye? so why not have the master butcher teach you a few nasty slicey techniques.
i think the inclusion of that gauntlet pistol would be nice as well given that firearms were more common than throwing knives around this time, but i dont want to see muskets or rifles introduced. [ruins the whole "im an assassin" feeling if your toteing two rifles and a shotgun about]
lastly, and this may be a bit of an odd request* i would liek to see a mechanic where if you hang around outside, or underneath a window for too long, you get spattered with a bucket of waste. since many people did just that around this time, it would be quite humerous to see [enter heros name here] get soaked down with a bucket of filth, and then dance about in disgust for a few seconds.

Honestly? I hope they pick a time period no one is expecting. One of my favorite parts about Assassin's Creed 1 was that it taught me a shitload about the Crusades, a time period I barely knew anything about at the time. It made the Crusades interesting for me, and I really appreciated it for that. Creed 2 also did this to a lesser extent with the Renaissance.
I'm pretty sure that the Animus will only take up part of the game however. Sooner or later, Desmond and Lucy are gonna need to kick some serious ass.
