User blog comment:Kabutsu/Assassin's Creed IV Setting Ideas/@comment-1005328-20121113231355

Revolutionary Russia and France sound really appealing to me :D We get to explore some marvelous cities, as well as peak into some really intriguing historical settings. Although, I can't help but think that other settings such as WW2 Germany would be difficult to approach by the game writers, since it's still a fairly sensitive subject. I've seen enough reactions concerning Assassin's Creed 3 to be able to picture how some people would react if AC4 took place in WW2's Berlin.

Playing as an assassin in an Asian country also sounds appealing. Their history is rich, the philosophy can easily make one's head hurt, and I don't think it's necessary to talk about the weapons and fighting styles. Also, it would help include the whole world into the story (I hope you get what I mean). And I would love to see how the game staff manages to bring that atmosphere into the game.

The Tudors' era... could be interesting, but London has already been used as a spacial setting by other games before. The history is intriguing, but I just don't know if it fits with Assassin's Creed. From what I have learned about this era, the main problems were the wars for territories, the Catholic church versus the Protestant church and the fights for the throne. Though, if the writers manage to link these to AC's plot... I shall applaud them.

All in all, my vote goes to Russia. But if any of these ideas manages to be merged successfully with AC's storyline, I'll be one happy girl.
