Are Brotherhood and Revelations required for AC3? (No Spoilers Please)
I was just curious if the desmond / pieces of eden stories from brotherhood / revelations are important to understand the story in AC3, I have it pre-ordered and would LOVE to play it asap but at the same time I would like to know what is going on in the game, and also the least amount of spoilers from any games I have missed, due to the fact that I would like to go back and play them later.
I guess what I am asking is would it be worth it to go ahead and play AC3 or should I do quick runs of the ACB and ACR main storylines?

I beat ac2 and am now playing ac3. I never played brotherhood or revelations.
From what I can tell, yes and no.
Yes because things have CLEARLY progressed in desmonds world since the end of AC2 and the start of AC3. My guess is a lot of stuff happened in those two inbetween games.
However.
It doesnt seem to matter much. I am able to figure out some basic plot about what is going on, and I guess what I never saw, i wont miss.
its not required, but im sure if you beat the other 2 games, it would enlighten you into desmonds world a lot more
You can always google the endings to those two games I guess and figure it out that way, I may do that myself.
Assassins creed in 5 minutes spoilers obviously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnfg1rDmNIw
Thanks!
yeah, I'm starting to think that the best plan would be to do a bit of quick reading tonight, I'm sure the game will be just as fun afterwards.
last thing i remember about ac2 was that desmond was fighting people in some huge hanger, now im playing ac3 and it seems like he found new friends and they have a solid mission, so lots of stuff must have happened. But once again, they explain a good deal to you in ac3, enough to know the situation, but not how it happened, so you can continue on knowing what to do, but to know how it got to that point, some reading up might help.
