If you're going to play a.c. 3 and most of the a.c. games then you may as well play liberation, but play it before 3. It's just ok, though I'm actually a fan of the blow dart as a weapon, silent but deadly.

Lib is pretty skippable, though it did one thing that I loved that the series has never revisited (though maybe it did in the 8th gen; Iunno since I'm still a 7th genner) and that was the persona system.

You can change at will between an Assassin persona, a slave persona and a lady persona. I forget all the details but they each have cool features and drawbacks, like Assassin has lots of weapons and can free run but you arouse suspicion easily. The lady is super sneaky but awful at mobility because you wear a dress. And the slave can get you into plantations and stuff but has some drawback or other that I forgot.

I felt that was gimmicky as all hell and pretty tacky. It was fine for one game but definitely would be cumbersome if all the games had them.

Syndicate had something similar in having you play as 2 different characters that you can switch between, and it was just as gimmicky. Doesn't hamper gameplay but not something I'd like to see again, especially since origins rebooted the series in the best possible way.
