Quick summary, obvious spoilers aheadJay wrote:I don't get all the storyline behind AC, I need to brush up on it
Everything is created from the apple of Eden, even the human race itself, humans were controlled by those god like figures many many years ago. Eventually after cross breeding, some humans were immune to the apple's power, Adam and Eve (who are ancestors of Desmond) rebelled against the gods and a war began, since there were so many humans it was a balanced fight, the gods didn't notice that a meteorite was approaching Earth and when they did, it was too late. Same thing is happening on December 21st 2012 and it's up to Desmond to stop it, in the midst of all that the bad guys (Templars) want to control the world and restrict people from liberty and the right to choose their path in life 'new world order' by using those Apples of Eden.
