oh and Peter Grifen Boy to answer your question about if the Templars really are evil. a major theme in the overall story of the Assassins Creed series (if you haven't already noticed) is that good and evil are extremely difficult to define and it really all comes down to perspective and relativity. in the Templar's eyes the Assassins are the evil ones and the Templars are simply doing what they feel is right. its that very moral dilemma that i find so fascinating and the games do not really offer any answers, leaving you to decide for yourself who is righteous and who is not. It forces you to think, yes to think. something many video gamers don't want to do, they'd rather kill hookers with pink dildos or have a massive shoot out death match before doing something like that in a video game. but i digress, the point is that there may not even be such a thing as evil or good, philosophers have tried for thousands of years to define it, and there are many theories and concepts surrounding it. but still there exists no easy answer or explanation.
