I just miss Desmond man. That was the highlight of the first two games for me.

I liked Desmond, but a lot of people kind of hated him and were vocal about it. So I feel like Ubisoft panicked and killed him off so people would stop complaining.

And then everybody said they missed Desmond and preferred his framing narrative to the "Hey, you're playing as yourself working for Ubisoft" in the present day segments (though personally, I kind of liked those too, and wish they'd done more with them).

Then each game just kept getting less and less present day story, until it was reduced to mostly text documents. Though, I'm not caught up on the games to know if they ever ramped that back up.

Origins and Odyssey present day segments revolve around a new character, who starts out working for the Templars, gets betrayed, and eventually gravitates towards the Assassins. They mostly go back to the same "We're using the Animus in the field to find ancient artifacts by reliving the past" premise that was motivating the Desmond games.

Unfortunately, the new "main character" is somewhat unlikable and annoying, so it's like the worst of all possible options. I'd rather have no framing narrative at all rather than the ones we're getting now.

So, I stopped paying attention to Assassin's Creed after they stopped the solar flare from destroying the planet, since that's over what drives the plot of Assassin's Creed now?

They basically discovered that, in spite of averting the end of the world, there's at least a few more ends of the world coming that they have to try and avert, so it's back to tracking down Pieces of Eden again.
