Warning! This editorial is pretty much all spoilers for Assassin’s Creed 3. If you want your story experience with the game to remain intact, you should just leave right now. Go on.

When you fire up Assassin’s Creed 3 and first enter the Animus, the machine that transports you to the 1700s for the “past” portion of the game, you’re met with an interesting turn of events. Despite the fact that we’ve been hearing about the Native American hero of the game, Connor, for months, you start the game playing a white English dude by the name of Haytham Kenway.
As it turns out, you spend the entire first quarter of the game as Haytham, following him through assassination missions and freerunning as he searches for the temple that Desmond discovers in the beginning of the game. And then the big kicker comes — it turns out that Haytham is...
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
Perfect. 👌👌
I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.
The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.
I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.
On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
Totaly Agree
Haytham is amazing as a character who has more character development then Connor, I actually would of liked to play him over Connor.
<Spoilers>
I'm more ticked off though that they made him a Templar...what was the point of that. You have a great British Assassin, which makes sense considering the british coming over to America to liberate them from Templar control, meeting up with other British members in Boston and you think "Well maybe this game won't potray the British as the evil Templars....got to hand it to you Ubisoft I'm impressed"...THEN BOOM, he's a Templar, you find out that Templars ARE BACKING the red coats and most of the Templars in the game are British which leads up to Haytham being the big bad guy and typical Britian being the evil bad guys from a Hollywood film. I mean there was a total character change in personality with Charles Lee, from a loyal man to a horrible, souless monster when he pins young Connor to the wall, I mean I just feel Ubisoft did it on purpose, they knew if they did anything to put Americans in a negative light it could possibly ruin sales, even though it wouldn't because I bet Americans arn't actually bothered as long as it keeps in line with telling us what the past games told us about the Templars...but it fails and totaly twists the story around so they don't get upset and isn't all over FOX news.
Haytham could of been a great ally in the game or even main character but sadly Ubisoft messed up in my opinion. As I've said I'm half way through and nearly every enemy "Templar", the ones they said would be on BOTH sides are mostly all British.

Could have*
Have!! For crying out loud it's could HAVE!! Would HAVE!! Should HAVE!! Must HAVE!! If you wanna shorten it then its could've NOT could of!
I apologise for my outburst, my rival soccer team is winning.
I kinda feel they did. The cutscenes during death made me feel a bit sympathetic toward them at times. The way they talked it made me feel like Connor was rushing into situations not fully understanding what was going on. I'm glad they brought back the longer death cutscenes.
Connor on the other hand... I had a hard time connecting to him as opposed to Ezio. It just seemed like he was always pissed at everyone, even potential allies. (like Achilles) It got annoying at times...
That's the thing about AC stories, the morality is always so black and white, why can't we have a templar that does the wrong things for the right reasons, or an assassin who is downright sadistic in his methods?
