My biggest fear is that we won't move out of the Sage arc for the next 2-3 games, and it kinda makes both past and present plots pointless - because it will be the exact same recycled thing. Modern people searching for sages in the past, and games' plot coming down to "A wizard did it", except we replace Wizard with Sage.

Seriously Sages practically took over for the Templars - we had Templars pulling the strings and being masterminds. Now we have Sages rooted in various organizations pulling the strings of everyone INCLUDING the Templars.

Also, I really can't see the plot of this arc going anywhere - especially considering lack of payoff with Unity's ending. "Oh, so his corpse has decayed over the centuries, you know, like corpses tend to do, and is beyond recovery... uhhh... bye." And half of the past plot can be spoiled if you just pay attention to people's eyes. "Oh, it's you. Again. Are you a homicidal maniac this time? What macguffin do you wield this time? A skull? An apple? A sword? A spoon?"
