I live in Brazil and had a German teacher in my school and his son was one of my classmates. The father I don't know shit about but the son was a certified gamer. He had that classic mentality "Hitler is the only evil one, the people are victims". Had nothing against jews but oh boy the idea of some people are better than others was ingrained in that motherfucker.
The future thing was always a good idea but never well execute in the games. In the first one is better because you don't have much to do inside the Animus as Altair so the conspiracy thing reading e-mails and investigating your cell is at least intriguing. From AC2 onwards every time you are disconnected from Animus to play as Desmond is boring and distracting, I can't even remember the other characters.
After a certain point, all of the future parts of the games felt like B-stories that were tangential to the main future timeline.
After they killed Desmond they didn't have any linchpin to hold the plot line. It's a mess.
Remoraid -> Octillery is the most bizarre shit that cannot even be explain by mythology. The vaguest shit that can explain this line is the gun to cannon and you really need to force a lot to see Remoraid as a gun.
Well fuck
