Assassin's Creed III Location

[Maxtro]

I've always thought about making 3 take place in feudal Japan.

I want to be able to play a ninja with realistic combat and weapons.

And no, Desmond would have no connection to the Japanese ancestor. There are other modern day assassin camps.

I got either Industrial Revolution England (because it's not just London, there's more cities that were equally important during that time period) or French Revolution France (because with the amount of stuff going on during that time, you can see some kind of Templar/Assassin action going down).

while thats a valid point. But given londons relative size i would rather they flesh that out and i get another experience like brotherhood, where the surroundings and details really made you feel like you were there.

Just my take, rather have 1 amazing bigger map, than a few smaller ones.

I liked Rome but there were lots of nothingness outside the city. Some small towns but not really all that fun :/

What I would like is to see two big cities but not too big. It was good to have such a large map but when a lot of it felt very boring and underpopulated, it just made you want to stick to the one area.

But that's just my own opinion.

A lot of the material that came up in the Subject 16 puzzles in Brotherhood was very pro-Communist, anti-Capitalist, so it's very easy to see the Assassin Order being behind Socialism/Communism.

It was anti-capitalist, but I didn't get the feeling it was necessarily pro-communist per se.

Well, I may be reading more into it than is intended, but I got the impression that it was at least very pro-Socialist. I actually enjoyed the Subject 16 material as much as (maybe more than) the main story arc of Ezio, so I took the time to go back through all the puzzles and carefully examine all the text and images, and they glorified such things as nationalization of industry in South America as a positive, "for the people" action, as well as hiding Assassin logos on Socialist slogan banners in some of the photographs.

Given the Assassins Creed of "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted", I wouldn't assume that the Assassins are Socialist themselves, but rather that they fostered that ideology as a way to weaken the Templar's grip on finance and industry.

From a story and thematic perspective, it would make the most sense to set it either in England, France, or the United States, or combination of the three, at least sooner or later (id est, maybe not even III, but IV.)

If I know one thing about the standard templar conspiracy theory set up, it's that it always somehow involves the freemasons. Well this could be taken two ways: Either they do the standard approach of Templares=Freemasons, or they could do a much more interesting take on it.

The freemason's origins are fairly obscure and nothing is really known about where they came from. Ok, we have a group shrouded in mystery with secret rituals and an unknown origin that uses this symbol. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Square_compasses.svg]

Remind you of anything? [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110611133616/assassinscreed/images/f/f8/Assassin_Symbol_wallp_pack_by_WinterWerewolf-1-.jpg]

Anyway, it's generally said in these conspiracies that the freemason's have a huge hand in the revolutions in france and the americas. As such, who knows, maybe we have the basis for a new plot.

My friend came up with Victorian London;

You play as Lady Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Wessex (Grand Master of Assassin Order), and against Sir John Conroy, Victoria's step father and Grand Master of Templar Order

Date is 1837, when Queen Victoria comes to the throne

Plus you get to travel on trains, and later meet Serlock Homes (Robert Downy Jr?)

What do you guys think of her ideas?
