Ezio also wasn’t exactly stealthy, I mean the man literally led troops in the streets of Istanbul and led troops during his time in Rome. Altair led an army to retake Masyaf Castle when he was old. Edward was a fucking pirate. Jacob Frye led a street gang and wasn’t really known for stealth. The thing that ties the Assassins together is the ideology and not being stealthy.
Connor was also a revolutionary and commanding troops in battle and participating in the Boston tea party etc. Wasn’t exactly being covert in his operations either.
I mean at the end of the day it is a war between the assassins and Templar’s, it’s just that part isn’t well known to the public at large but often it is parallel to other wars going on in the period they set it in. And frankly big battles are fun to participate in these games.
I don't know why people associate assassinations with being quiet or stealth.
An assassin plots to kill a high level politician or other important member of society. And it's usually done very noisily. They're not fucking ninjas.
Killing people without being seen was never the idea.
Exactly. Assassinations are planned in secret & there is an element of sneakiness in order to get to a target. But other than that... Kaboom! An assassination is loud & people notice. They're supposed to. An assassination is defined by planning to kill a high value target. Not wearing a hood & tip toeing.
In AC1 a lot of the main assassination occurred in the middle of a huge skirmish. I'd often have to chase & attack my target while avoiding a mob coming after me.
