I thought Unity had the most uninteresting villains in the franchise. The bad guys were IMO cartoony evil. On the co-op intro videos, we could see some bad guys who would just be evil for nothing, especially Robespierre. They were uninteresting, without any depth. The AC games needs villains like Haytham and Shay.

I also agree with Kain and HijoDeAguila that they game never touched upon the French Revolution. We never even realised it was happening during the course of the game which really was a shame. All the teasers showed Arno and other assassins running through the people during an insurrection but there was no moment like that in the game. We could even have had a story mission where we had to save Elise or Bellec from getting executed with the guillotine but we didn't have any mission like that too. There were so many missed opportunities just like AC3.

There's also a big story point which is illogical. How is Arno this skilled? Yeah he was a punk kid who got into trouble a lot so he knew how to fight etc... but HOW CAN HE BEAT A MASTER ASSASSIN WHEN HE HAD NO TRAINING? He is just "gifted" that's how the game explains it. I really think Ubi should have better writing the next games instead of having 100 side missions because from Arno beating Bellec in the Bastille prison to Arno not searching at all for his father's killer, there are a lot of plot holes in the game.
