So I tried playing the first one and didn't finish it. I know there's a lot of people who love the sequels, but I just don't have the time or the patience to continue that franchise. There's tons of other titles just begging for my time, so there's no grudge against the game.

Bear in mind that I don't care about spoilers, so if anybody actually answers or even reads this thread, please be aware that you have been warned.

I know that the character you play is going back in time somehow, retrieving genetic memories and such, and his ancestors were assassins. My question is this: Do you ever, at any point in any of the games play as the modern day character, the guy stuck in the lab, and get to do stuff like your ancestors did? Like using those inherited parkour abilities and escape the lab or defeat security guards?

If so, then I think that's pretty cool. If not, then why be in the lab at all? I think it would have been more meaningful if the game was actually set hundreds of years ago. Just my opinion. Then again, that might have turned Assassin's Creed into something silly like Splinter Cell: Renaissance.

If anybody actually answers my question, you have a thousand thanks. I really don't want to try and find the answer on YouTube, since no gaming website would publicly ruin a detail like that.

most of the time, no
there are a couple missions in 3 where he goes and bobs around
(where the script is just ridiculous, why would you willingly step into the killing range of a deadly object ... DURR)
but yeah no
that's what everyone was hoping he would end up doing, but ubi fucked that up too
unfortunately or possibly fortunately, even though ubisoft said that 3 is the last game featuring Desmond, im sure he'll be back ...

You get to in the second game, Brotherhood, and the third game. I'm not sure about AC Revelations since I haven't played it.
