how can you tell wether the buildings in the AC1 is italian or not .. all I see is white light covering hundreds of sillouets of buildings .. and yea in the second game I agree, but by that time they already made the decision to kill off lucy and desmond ! Hell lucy died a game later so it was already planned.

My point is, the plot they started in AC1 isn't exactly the same they continued with in AC2 and 3.

because in the wiki before assassins creed 3 ( unfortunately I have no proof of that right now) they said that desmond was kept in abstergo in a city that ressembled new york. I read it myself, ofcourse it was updated after ac3
