ac mirage spoilers
a part of me does understand why it's so dull. its set during a time where the assassins are more strict and rigid in their approach. they are less concerned about individualism and freedom and more about keeping the peace which causes the characters to be very serious and direct. the story is about basim rejecting their ideals as he disobeys them to pursue the nightmares that has followed him his whole life. this game is before altair took over and changed the philosophies of the assassins so it makes sense. that being said,, just cause it makes sense narratively and canonically that doesn't mean the story is actually fun to play through
