Of all of the “What in the fuck are you doing, Ubisoft?” moments I have ever experienced, the Desmond/Lucy storyline (or lack thereof!) has been the most infuriating. Lucy’s death begins as an absolute surprise, Desmond fighting to prevent it from happening, appearing to have absolutely no control over his blade, the event itself so traumatic he collapses. He wakes up on Animus Island confused and exhausted, at which point Clay informs him of Lucy’s death. And what does he do? He falls to the ground, gasping for reason, trying to explain what happened. “I’m so sorry, it wasn’t me!”, he protests. It’s strongly confirmed in following dialogue that they liked each other, and this is perhaps what is most heartbreaking. Desmond felt something for Lucy, and then against his will, he is forced to kill her.
And yet, for some reason…this is all changed with AC3. We are informed, bluntly, through half-arsed dialogue that no, Desmond saw what would happen, and he saw that Lucy was a Templar. He chose to kill her. Despite none of this being established in any game prior to this.
And of course, the majority of the fandom just accepts this. It’s okay, she was a Templar, Desmond should have killed her, right? No. Few people have issue with this. The death of Lucy was a tragic event that Desmond would never have taken part in with choice. At no point did Lucy ever get a chance to explain to him why, after years of abandonment and neglect she chose to join the Templars. And it would not have been in Desmond’s character to jump to the conclusion of her immediate execution.

Desmond:
Realizing that basically all of games that I love are about processing trauma and grief. So that's.. that's a thing.
