i do love assassin’s creed 3 but GOSH i wish it didn’t rob us of some story points...

like i know we see connor reading haytham’s journal at the beginning, but i wish we’d gotten MORE of a reaction out of him when he realized the head Templar was his father.

Likewise I know Haytham was able to put things together and figure out Connor was his son before they properly speak for the first time, but like...I wish we’d seen that realization. I wish we’d seen how Haytham initially reacted to that. How Haytham’s goonies reacted.

They give us this juicy juicy central conflict of Connor fighting against his own father and then they don’t...give us these moments. And it’s frustrating because i LOVE Connor. He’s one of my favorite assassins. But he’s got this Shakespearean level conflict going on and the game doesn’t dig into it the way it should.

#sophie.txt #assassin's creed #ac3 #connor kenway #full disclosure i still haven't FINISHED the game so it could surprise me with stuff later #currently on the 'connor and haytham are forced to work together' missions #i played the game YEARS ago but on the ps3 and it was bugged so i could never progress the main questline when i needed to go to new york #but gosh i wish wish WISH we had more to work with in this relationship #we spend two fucking hours with haytham in the tutorial stage and for what?#for the game to NOT give us these juicy emotional reveals with him and connor??#it just feels like they put their energy in all the wrong places #yes i do hate those first two hours with haytham bcs of how the game doesn't START until CONNOR IS WITH ACHILLES #u can't craft u can't hunt u can't start unlocking things until u get to sequence 6 and the game is halfway over #if you're going to spend the first two hours of the game focusing on story over gameplay mechanics then frickin commit to the story!!!#i do love this game and i do love connor i just hate to see these storytelling opportunities go to waste
