Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Yeah, I think they crammed "becuz aliens" in there a few games later to explain away all the magic.

They did that in the first game, actually. The apple and other artifacts were always tech left behind by an extinct "first civilization," later named the Isu. Part of the series' problem is that the actually interesting ideological conflict between the Assassins and the Templars was put on hold to explore increasingly elaborate Isu junk after Desmond was killed off.
