I assumed that as well, but neither of those really cover the French Revolution. The Count of Monte Cristo and Les Miserables take place after the French Revolution, while the Three Musketeer stories take place over a century before it. Scaramouche and the Scarlet Pimpernel (both by Rafael Sabatini) would be more appropriate inspirations.rollerfox88 said:I think he was saying Dumas was his favourite author, and that he also enjoyed Les Miserables, but I suppose thats what we get for using English, rather than any of the less ambiguous languages.Mulberry said:If I was a pedantic tosser I'd mention that Les Misérables was written by Victor Hugo, not Alexandre Dumas. But I'm not, so I shan't.
Depends how far back you go, the way i've seen the story Altair is 'ancestor zero' as he was the first of Desmonds ancestors to join the assassins (iirc), meaning you cant go further back than him.rollerfox88 said:but what about the ancient Far East? Desmond looks generic enough to have any kind of bloodlines flowing through him....
You weren't the guy who suggested that Jack the Ripper should Ezio's ancestor assassin are you? Or maybe I should hope you are, otherwise this is a worryingly popular idea As much as I would like to see the Assassins discredited a bit (a lot) maybe Jack would be making the series dangerously aware of what it is.rdaleric said:I would really like to see a game set in 19th century London. Either in the first half, which is the closest that the U.K. has been to revolution in a very long time (The Cato street conspiracy, captain swing riots Peterloo massacre etc), Alternatively it could be set in the 1880s, maybe somehow involving Jack the Ripper?
I'm afraid i was not . I'd rather see him used as maybe a rival or Templar agentBrotherRool said:You weren't the guy who suggested that Jack the Ripper should Ezio's ancestor assassin are you?

Oh, man, I love this sentence. Not just because "Lord Fuckthedowntroddeningham" is hilarious, but it's also one of the rare times I felt like I was reading the words of an ordinary person geeking out about stuff on the Internet rather than a detached critic pontificating. No offense.What mainly inspires me to suggest this setting, though, is Harold Lloyd's short film Safety Last. Go and watch the building-climbing scenes on Youtube or something and tell me you're not reminded of Ezio Auditore doing his thing up the side of Lord Fuckthedowntroddeningham's castle.
