I couldn't agree with you more, Sima, about all of what you said.

I felt Liberations was more of a preview as well, not just a parallel story to Connor's. In Liberation's Dev Diary, Jill Murray sort of hinted at the series making that turn when she said more and more women are playing video games, and more women need to explore careers in the gaming industry. I think Liberations was sort of a way for Ubisoft to get its feelers out, testing the waters in a way to see if a female protagonist could carry 3 games by herself. If Tomb Raider can do it successfully for over a decade, I guess anything is possible for a female protagonist. As for Aveline's story, I'm unsure whether to believe it's done or not. Once the hologram ended, she said, "It is done" and then the screen faded to black.

If there will be a female protagonist in the next game (they could just make the main character male again, we never know) it'd be cool if she were of mixed ancestry as Desmond was-I'm sure they will include that again, and it would only make sense if Aveline is "Eve's" ancestor. Ubisoft did something I haven't seen any other gaming company do: create a female protagonist who's visibly of mixed or non-European descent. I think we'd all agree Aveline looks 100% African, African-American or however you'd want to classify her. Adding a variety of allies from different ethnic backgrounds to aid her in her quest to stop Juno would also be refreshing and add diversity to the series.
