Unity and 3 weren't particularly bad in my opinion, they were just so much worse than they could have been/promised to be. They definitely seem to be repeating with character archtypes - hopefully this time they'll break from the mould a bit and go for someone dry, witty & cynical, maybe a little eccentric. Could definitely work in Victorian London. Hoping that Victory is to Unity what Black Flag was to 3, especially considering how long/badly I've been wanting an AC in Victorian London (I've had my own fanon forming in my head since late 2011, though I've only bothered to write the first 10th or so of it... As long as this game takes place after 1820 none of the story should mess up the canon of my fanon though). I think the quote you found on the forums is valid Outsider, some people just want AC to be good so badly they go after it and ignore the flaws, meaning it stays as a cash cow for Ubi and they just sink into repetition, trying to recapture the glory of past games. Hopefully Victory differs somewhat in that regard.

Sorry for the long-ish post, just stumbled across this comment thread and wanted to put forward my thoughts about everything!
