Desmond's face is just because of better graphics actually.

Also, Cello, how is the "altair can't sqim because he didn't at that time" any less of an animus excuse than what we have now?

It's been obvious that they've had the exact same character model for a long time now, but Ezio was allowed to age and have different hair because of the Assassin's tech, and now it appears that we're seeing them as they truly are. They're trying to justify the team now doing more work on creating faces and you're getting MAD?
