"My ridiculous question was to point out your ridiculous claim that the Templars are worse because of the distinction of targeting family members."

Actually, no, that wasn't my point. I reiterated my point very plainly. I suggest you look again.

"Both are BAD. You are both claiming the same... yet in your reasoning the Templars are worse. BOTH kill innocents. Both lie, cheat... and all the other stuff I have said many times now.. it doesn't matter the ifs, buts and intricate details... BOTH do it."

Now that's some black and white morality for you. So if a person murders his neighbor to steal his possessions, and another person murders an assailant in self-defense, they are both equally bad? I mean, if the "intricate details" don't matter.

"But importantly, BOTH want some type of control. I believe the Templar ideals are right... simply because they are more likely to create peace should they come to pass."

What the Templars want has been attempted in the real world many, many, many times. And how many peaceful utopias do you see? Brainwashing someone and taking away their free will is the ultimate act of violence. That's not peace, that's tyranny.

@Outsider: I think that's where Ubisoft is shifting things, if The Chain is any indication. Those were some very not-nice Assassins going after Nikolai.
