As for a female Assassin, I'm not sure if that would fit into the Animus itself, as Desmond had memories of Altair up to the point of his son's conception but, rather than retain Maria's memories he was instantly transferred to the male child in her womb. Now, obviously the scriptwriters are free to take liberties with the whole DNA memory thing but to tell you the truth I don't see it working for most players. Now a spin-off game like Brotherhood that could complement AC III would be perfect for that kind of material! Maybe set during WWI as women often adapted male roles during the time period. Now as for WWII, personally I believe that the concept of "Allies crush the Nazis!", while a courageous and bloody concept in real life, has become a mediocre excuse to shoot up men in threatening Third Reich military attire. Now the scriptwriters, in my opinion, could craft even that overused time period with their brilliance but I just think other conflicts deserve their attention more, conflicts that were less black and white and more controversial and grey. Some examples include The American and French Revolutions, several people have already stated Victorian England, Cromwell's England is also an excellent idea, The American CIvil War also seems interesting, but I would also like the more obscure Opium Wars or maybe the story of Ghandhi. On a personal note, I would prefer if people did not take the example of Rodrigo Borgia and other corrupt clergymen displayed in Assassin's Creed as examples of the Catholic Church in entirety. Yes they were evil men, yes they encouraged rampant abuse of their power and should be despised for it, but there were also good catholics who died for noble purposes throughout history. St. THomas Moore defended his faith rather than bow to Henry VIII, hundreds of innocent people were crucified by the Japanese for just being Catholic, and let's not forget the men who founded the institution. They all died for what they believed in Peter was Crucified upside down, Paul was beheaded, Andrew was crucified on an X, Thomas was killed in India, and John was exiled to a remote island of solitude for his entire life. So, I implore you, do not accept the common misconception that all Catholocism is some evil puppetry. Yes we had corrupt jerks that controlled the church's money,formed armies, and caused rampant nepotism. But I ask you, what powerful institution hasn't? Note: I apologize if this was too long and for the personal slant at the end I just had to get that off my chest.
