Series fans and history buffs who want the story and atmosphere and don't mind tinkering with patches

The game crashes or freezes on modern PCs and needs mods or going offline to run

“complete three copy-paste side missions followed by one main assassination mission. Repeat that exact sequence nine or so times, and then the game ends.”
