I've explained why they aren't similar because you go about them in completely different ways and you've gone "uhhhh no they're similar". Why not explain how the actual missions are really similar other than the extremely general observation that you rescue someone.

It seems you got what I wanted to convey mixed up with something else, seeing as you mention my use of similar as a "broad term", but if that were the case I`d complain about how Teodora and Paula are courtesans..

What I mean is that the context and experience of the 2 missions is too similar. there`s nothing wrong with 2 missions being similar at all. Hell I never felt similarity in AC I and that was dammed as repetitive, but with these 2 sequences, it just felt too much of the same that it became tedious, again, nothing wrong with 2 levels being similar. what erked is that they were TOO similar and FELT like it was just dragging the story on..

Ezio feels as much an errand boy as Connor does in AC3.

As for Connor being an errand boy, that`s true just until Sequence 8...from 9 onwards, Connor`s basically his own man and took orders from no one (besides Achilles and Haytham) he engineered an entire plan alone at the age of 22....at least Connor eventually came out of the errand boy phase...Ezio was pretty much there until the end of AC II

I thought Ezio was okay in AC:B. He seemed less sex obsessed and was in his prime as an assassin. Though I still get the impression he'd have rather not been an assassin. Connor and Altiar seemed like they were right where they wanted to be.

Since he`s the only protagonist to quit so far...

(I dont think Connor`s ever quitting)

Well, he has nothing else to really do, besides take care of a family I suppose.

[Bullet747]

Yea. At his core I think Connor's a fighter, not a lover.

Yeah....it`s not like there`re more Templars to hunt or anything...

Altair should`v quit if that`s the case....and Connor...I mean...both wiped out templars in their respective regions...

That much is obvious.

Though, then again he hasn't really know much else besides the Assassins and his little village.

I mean, Ezio lived til he was around twenty or something being kinda a womanizing lazy rich dude, until of course his family was killed. Connor lost his mom when he was young, was almost killed, never knew his dad, and lived in a totally different culture.

Their polar opposites.

Until Ubisoft decides to place some plot-induced Templars.

Templars are everywhere. That much is made very clear everywhere in the games, comics, novels and side quests...

There`s no such thing as "he has nothing else to do" for an Assassin "We here dedicate our lives to protecting the freedom of humanity" till that`s secured THEN he can have nothing else to do..

I think Connor might have some Bruce Wayne psychology. Childhood tragedy drove him to be what he became and he probably won't know how to be anything else. It's practically ingrained in his DNA.
