I just wonder how revolution-centric the series will be and how much shoehorning will take place. With the first 3 seasons focusing a lot on the theme of religious and cult madness(for the lack of a better term) I don't think they picked Paris(in the time of a revolution no less) on a whim. And it's hard to guess how much characters they'll even retain from the games. I would like to see how they'd handle Orlox and Shaft, but with the way the writters meddle with the canon it's very hard to say.
But hey, we'll get animated Maria, so at least Waffle's gonna be all giddy.
