Players Finally Realize One Character’s Sad Story in Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed series is known for its exceptional storytelling and combat which can be dynamic as players can be super stealthy or can fight groups of enemies. But what makes the game enjoyable to play are the characters and their background of how they are here or what makes them do these things.
Making players ask this question is what increases the depth of the game and the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been doing this consistently. One of the most tragic background stories in the series is of Desmond Miles, but players usually don’t realize what the character has gone through to be annoyed about everything.

This thread showed that the criticism Desmond often faced within the community was wrong and he had every right to be mad. Some players even labeled him as a whiny brat, dismissing the challenges in his life.
Player’s Reflections on Desmond Miles’ Story
The player’s sympathy for Desmond Miles in the recent thread underscores the appreciation of character development in video games.
Assassin’s Creed has often mixed together various themes like sacrifice, and destiny into characters but players have failed to fully understand the depth of each.
Just like the saying, ‘beauty lies in the eye of the beholder‘, the story of the characters can be derived from each player’s unique perspective. As fans continue to revisit previous Assassin’s Creed games and see stories like Desmond’s, they will realize that many things are going on in the world of Assassins.
In the end, Desmond’s story will serve as a reminder that players need to first fully understand the character’s background to make judgments about them.
