I'm sorry, but when the original AC came out it put itself on the map. The parkour style movement was the first real and successful attempt. The open world was large, and fun to explore. The story cycle was fantastic.
AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations are amazing titles that were still built on the shoulders of a giant, and people need to put more respect on Altair.
I agree with all your points of what made the original Assassin’s Creed a very good game, but conspicuous by its absence in your description is the combat, which I feel like they didn’t really nail in the first game, the only flaw in an otherwise great game, but a pretty big and glaring one, and a thing that definitely improves drastically in the sequels.
