A while back i was pranking a friend and told him that there was an Assassin's Creed spin off in the works where you played a member of the Ku Klux Klan. As i kept talking and the joke got bigger, I told him that you played as a character in a more modern version of the Assassins that were working from within the KKK in the early 20th century. It was a good cover because the klan and complete freedom of movement in the south, and access to powerful political figures at the time. But a group of civil rights workers have stolen a collection of documents that they assume are related to the klan, not knowing that they are really related to the Assassins. Then our hero has to go and trek across the deep south fighting klansmen without blowing your cover and trying to recover the stolen documents.
At this point i understood that i was starting to think that this game might actually be pretty enjoyable, and then i realized that not a single game that i am aware of has ever been in this setting. Why not?
The deep south at the time was full of vast wilderness, dotted with small communities, populated by interesting people, and rife with conflict. Its like a template for every RPG that has ever been made. The klan themselves rode around on horses dressed in sheets calling themselves wizards inflicting violence on others. How is that not a good idea for a villain?
Why hasn't this been touched?
K, i know that racism is a touchy subject for some people and the klan and racism go hand in hand, but really ignoring it isn't going to make it any better. Nazis were a little bit racist too if memory serves, but we shoot the hell out of them in just about every FPS on the market, so why can't we shoot klansmen too?
why?
