I forgot to ask this, too. Do you still have to deal with the Animus in the other games? I already bought ACII and Brotherhood, expecting not really to like AC much, but with how much more highly rated the other games are, I figured there was a reason for it so I dove head first into the series. Too bad the diving board is on the shallow end.
