jack the ripper could be a villain in it. maybe something like the prostitutes are on your side, and he's killing them as he is hired by templars to do. so you kill him in a knife fight. OH! maybe you could be the son of a famous detective, and thats how you know how to gather informationDYin01 said:

I think it will be set in the French Revolution. The end of Brotherhood had Shaun speaking of the Masonic Eye. I symbol which appears on the deceleration of man, the constitution of France.
An interesting fact is during the siege of the Bastille(A fort in France) during the revolution, an assassin was being held in the prison. No joke. I'm doing year 12 history and we're currently focusing on the French Revolution. My teacher said that one of the prisoners thought he was Jesus and the other was an assassin. My heart jumped at the mention of an assassin and many ideas came into my head for the next game.
My last point is that mabye rather then one country they have three or four. That may seem like alot but if its the 18th century then theres some great locations available. Paris, London, Boston and Washington just to name a few.

i reckon thats good, but maybe they ditch him or something. and he gets captured by the templars, then hopefully we will get some more juicy backstory info.Dark assassin for hire said:
as for the topic, french revolution sounds a little too neat, we have just had a major twist at the end of brotherhood, so who knows, maybe we will see someone else from either altair's or ezio's time frames. or possibly... BEFORE... DUN DUN DUUUUN...
god i love speculation.
I think that The American Revolution would be pretty sweet, although I can't think of any high profile assassinations that happened in that period.
I think the idea of playing as Jack the Ripper would be pretty cool. Perhaps the Templars are trying to divide the different parts of the Assassin's network of allies, so they have their agents killing prostitutes to make it look like the Assassins are doing it. This would certainly lead to the slow breakdown of the Assassin's that leaves it the shell of it's former self that we see through the eyes of Desmond.

The French revolution, with Robespierre as the end boss. I can imagine the Templars turning on the French nobility after they outlive their usefulness as an order keeping mechanism.
Plus, Robespierre as the end boss. Come on.

napoleon's retreat from spain. during the napoleonic wars. imagine the locations, barcelona. madrid. valencia. awesome locations.
but to be honest it's gonna focus on desmond now so modern day i reckon

I can see Robespierre as an End Boss, but not a Templar. I'm no history buff, but Robespierre was reasonable at first, but later in his political career he went mad. I think he should be an intelligent layman with a passion for justice and freedom who stumbled upon the PoE and made it his duty to crush the Templars and Assassins "responsible" for the rotten state of France and the world.Serenegoose said:
...But the character is not Desmond's ancestor, it's some junky unaware of his connection to the Assassin's. i.e. We'd have to give up on Desmond to play as that guy. Also, that sounds like something Caboose would say.....Jabberwock xeno said:

But the Prostitutes work for the Assassin's. It would make more sense if Jack the Ripper was a Templar. That said, I like the French Revolution, but there are a number of things he could do. They have 500 years of history to work with, I'm sure they'll find a historical time period where Swords were still dominant while played a minor role.DYin01 said:
UbiGabe already stated WW2 won't be part of AC2. It's way overdone, which isn't what they're going for.darthotaku said:
OT: I was banking on Victorian England in the 18th century, but after what you said, OP, the French Revolution doesn't sound too bad. Or or maybe ninjas! Wasn't there a clue in AC1 about Japan? The name of some Japanese town was written in blood on the floor somewhere..
I think the russian revolution would make a great location and period in time for this game. I also have no problem with them going earlier in the timeline (Greece, Persia, Macedon, or something like that).
Eras of pitched warfare such as World War II or the American Revolution don't seem to work for me. There needs to be tension at the idea of impending open conflict, but once the conflict starts though the town or cities that this sort of game would be set in wouldnt really lend itself to AC's type of gameplay. The period between WW1 and WW2 would be better suited than the wars themselves.
And as I was writing this last paragraph the Cold War popped into my head. Post war Berlin would be an incredibly interesting place to wade around in. You could travel to many different cities and countries either helping or hindering the spread of democracy and communism. The goal may not be to put one completely in power, but to ensure that they keep a balance and therefore the Cold War "in check." That might be a little far fetched though.

I think the main game should take place in Desmond's time, with him using the Bleeding Effect to occasionally look back on various ancestors throughout history to help him in the present.
I really like the French Revolution idea quite a lot. It seems to fit well with AC's overall themes, and plus there's a whole ton of juicy subject matter for them to cover. I also used to think the American Revolution would be a good time period to explore, but I'm not quite sure I think that way anymore.
Perhaps just the British Empire in general. It'd be fun to go to different locations other than just Europe. For instance, there's the opium war in China, dealing with pirates in the Caribbean, and the colonization of India and other parts of the globe.
Frankly, there's so much interesting history to cover, I find it hard to believe Assassin's Creed will be able to cover it all, at least not in the main games. Perhaps they'll launch some spinoff games unrelated to Desmond & co. where you play as different assassins in different places/times.

Liking the Jack the Ripper idea, but maybe with the Templars planting agents within the ranks of the otherwise Assassin-allied prostitutes, with the protagonist having to weed them out to prevent some kind of schism. I think that would give it an interesting twist.
Also pretty much anything taking place within a colonial state and era would be very interesting, allowing the player to visit a variety of different locations, each with a unique atmosphere.
