  Well, what kinds of events can merit extreme personal rage in an individual? Usually the death/ murder of a loved-one can do that, and it would be justified as "Passionate". What else is there? Political partisan views can ignite anger in people, but very rarely does it lead people to become an unstoppable killing machine. And if they do they aren't usually justified, they're just "Crazy". And then there's religion, which the first AC tackles; religion also being an excellent source of passion AND crazy.
  
  Personally I think AC2 has the right formula (from what I've seen). The first AC was about a disillusioned and manipulated religious follower, which was cool, but now the next logical step is to make the character driven by a personal history or experience. It seems in this new one he takes revenge for the death of his father, and dawns his father's old uniform. I thought that was pretty kick-ass. And they could take that a number of ways -- he could uncover the REAL story behind his father's death, and filling the shoes of what his father had begun before his son's death ("But I thought you were dead!") while the events outside the Animus (sp?) will be explored as well.
  
  I enjoyed the unfolding of the plot in the first AC, and the science fiction overtones, but it lacked a personal dimension that I am hoping this one will fulfill. In the first one the main character was driven by someone else to carry out his actions -- perhaps in AC2 the main character himself will be the one that is driven to search for answers/ revenge.
