I'm the same as WK, I love the story and hall but the history aspect of it really intrigues me. Assassin's Creed is the first series with as many installments as it has that I've actively paid attention to since, well, probably Final Fantasy.

I love Ezio as a character and knowing I'll never play as him again is kind of a bummer. I hope Connor or whatever ACIII dude's name is will be half as awesome.
