>>9908613The piece of eden was a metaphor for religion in a sense they just made a "ball" that made people believe stuff minus the religion/ideology on top to try to show the player the dangers of faith and if in the wrong hands(since Mualim was pretty much atheist but would've rather exploited his knowledge of faith and religion via the piece of eden) . The first AC is more of a commentary than a "redpill". There was nothing special about it except maybe that it was a good game for its time.
2007 was a good year for gaming.
