Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Writer Dares To Be Political

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood writer, Jeffrey Yohalem wanted to push videogame narrative into something more than a bunch of fake names pretending to have some kind of meaning. So he did and he used real names.

Throughout Brotherhood you'll find puzzles involving real politicians that make strong implications about officials working with companies to get their way.

"It upsets me. I just feel that a corporation is obviously going to be way more powerful than an individual, because it's a group of individuals and they've pooled all of their resources. Treating them like individuals makes individuals the underdog, which is not what America is about," said Yohalem.

He wanted to tell a story about real issues and not imitations of them, "A video game that was talking about modern day politics, instead of all these cheesy stories that pretend to be about reality but use fake names in different time periods."
