i know a lot of people like writing desmond as a great fighter or an incredible bartender but i think the reality of him being not particularly special, at least at first, is more fitting.

desmond is a character who no one really values for him. his actual worth is almost entirely based on his ability to be a vessel for his ancestors (the quote-unquote 'important people'). if he's already a savant wonder-child prior to the animus, it makes the tragedy of his character feel a bit more contrived to me.

Desmond wakes up from an animus session gone wrong and has to be given a sedative that makes him really loopy. The others leave him alone but also keep their eyes on him to make sure he's okay. And Desmond, who is drugged out of his mind, just kinda sluggish walks over to Shaun (doesn't have to be shaun, but I'm a shaundes shipper at heart) and ends up sitting down on the floor next to him and resting his head on Shaun's lap before promptly passing out. The others have already taken out their phones to secretly record Shaun sitting perfectly still while working while desmond sleeps on his lap

I think ubisoft forgot that desmond was a bartender in Manhattan. Realistically, when William hit desmond, desmond should have turned around and knocked the mf OUT

yk as much as i hate desmond's death. and i mean it, i HATE desmond's death (bc it's an art-defying soulless rushed corporate decision intended to keep churning out content rather than complete the story the original creator intended)

i do quite like how they completely switch up on the tropes of the heroic sacrifice. they don't make it out to be some grand greater good thing where desmond is revered. it's undeniably heroic but it's also horribly sad and empty. the imagery of his broken hidden blade on the ground as abstergo drag away his body bag. the voice notes where you realise this was just a troubled young man, anxious and trying to work things out but never given the chance (twenty five is so very young). it's different from the usual romanticisation of sacrifice and i guess i quite like that aspect of it, it doesnt make you feel warm and satisfied bc the hero saved the day, it just... makes you so sad for him

not to give ubisoft too much credit though. he was doomed by the narrative but bc the narrative was stupid...

“Nonsense! Altaïr was no traitor. He was driven out… unjustly.”

“Is it… is it you? I heard rumors, but I did not believe them.”

Altaïr lived long enough to be honored, villainized, and eventually deified.

The development of Shaun’s attitude towards Desmond is the best
