They didn\u2019t really do anything with Sparta/Athens or kingship/democracy, they kinda finished up with a vague sense of necessary balance between an equivalent Order (Templars) and Chaos (Assassins), which was kinda what they were going with London and the Americas ones
They have been hinting in universe in ancient-aliens-voice about a series reboot tho, that\u2019s funny
It was so long I finally got bored at 85%, but that\u2019s only cause I\u2019m the type to grind to 100%
To come back for the 3rd time, it\u2019s really the best use of moralized choices in a narrative I\u2019ve ever seen. I\u2019ve said before it\u2019s less angel/demon than strict/lenient with no obvious relationship to instrumental ends. More than that no obvious relationship to moral ends because it really does grok a pagan ethic where \u201cfiery, proud, vengeful\u201d can be virtuous just as much as clever and subtle; you effectively get the choice to be Achilles or Odysseus.
And the choices are subtle and so distant from their payoff to deter savescumming so in the course of a playthrough you will experience tragedy. But you can\u2019t really \u201cfail\u201d them and they\u2019re not really central except in the Socrates and Hippocrates questlines. Which are written so well that whatever ethical choice you make gets well-challenged and honestly yes the Socrates and Hippocrates questlines should be about ethics.
Also not as much as AC:Egypt (which, not AC:Rome, is the one with Julius Caesar) but things like the Minoan ruins and all the collapsed temples really realized the fact that the cultures we consider \u201cancient\u201d were living among reminders of civilizations just as far back themselves
They use a flavor epithet - malaka - but sometimes they just say \u201cfuck\u201d. Also the herms don\u2019t have dicks out but some of the statuary does so good.
