OP
(Anonymous) 2010-01-15 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)It was just the inconsistency of it that bugged me. I understand he sounded bitter, and I don't blame him--he was so into the Creed and then his Master pulled a 180 and everything Altair believed to be 'real' got turned on its head.
From a writer's standpoint, the bit about the pagan religions seemingly making more sense/allowing for more progress (as opposed to monotheistic religions) seemed unnecessary.
I'm a History/Philosophy major and since I apparently have little life outside of academics and free time, here's what I gathered:
- Pagan (or polytheistic religions) seemed to be derived from Minerva's "people who came before." That makes sense.
- Then he goes on to say--or so I felt it implied--that religion in general was an illusion. Sure, that seems right to me in the context of the AC-verse. So we can safely say that all religions (or just the general idea thereof and other 'illusions' were caused by either the Ones Who Came Before or Templars), right?
- ... No? Suddenly I'm reading this rather long spiel whose style felt extremely vague. It wasn't simply "I'm driven against these illusions"--it just stuck out at me as odd. I'm usually numb to those sorts of things and so the fact that it stuck out felt strange.
tl;dr: It was inconsistent in comparison to his other writings and I felt that it was... rather pointless. Now that I've thought about it more (since submitting the secret ages ago), it could have easily been just a bell and/or whistle attachment in an attempt to further develop Altair. I don't know.
Lastly, I apologize if I come off as harsh in this, I'm really tired. |D
And yeah, you do have some good points there, all of which I understand and with which I take no issue.
