Thanks for calling me a retard. Such a community-set attitude. Love it. And for as far as I know, the whole development team decides the setting, which includes the storywriter as well. It's not like the storywriter is the only one who has any relevance to the setting. The developers have to create the buildings fitting the time period etc. And no, it was never explained at the end of AC II that it would be in Modern Times. That would be like saying AC: Brotherhood is fake. And yes, it seems more logical to me as well that AC III takes place in Modern Times, but I'm not part of the game's development team. I guess we get to kill Vidic at the end of AC III, after Desmond is finally done with reliving the memories of another ancestor.
