The only AC game I ' ve played is Black Flag , and the only story I have to tell is this one . <| sep |> I recall the point Terry Pratchett made in The Hogfather about the importance of allowing children to believe in Santa Claus believing in a benevolent , intangible force of good that requires belief to exist prepares them to believe other important concepts that will follow them into adulthood justice , mercy , faith , hope , love etc . I don ' t know about other adults , but I remember fondly the days I believed in Santa as a kid and how wonderful that was . I wouldn ' t have traded that for the world . There never came a point in which I felt lied to or hated my parents because I realized Santa wasn ' t a tangible being I was more than content with the spirit of and the concept of Santa and I still am today . So , no , I will not take that joy away from my 3 year old and I ' m extremely suspect of people that would be willing to rip away any vestige of wonder or imagination from a child .
