The Center of the Story of Assassin's Creed 3




While previous Assassin's Creed games focused on European history in a variety of ways, immersion in the American Revolution makes dealing with the most recent entry seems a bit more direct and relatable. This is not the watered down version, founding father of the American Revolution-deification that you encountered growing up, but have. The revolution is here as chaotic and disorganized period of people deeply flawed that it took to make difficult compromises on issues from slavery to indigenous rights in criminal and economic justice led presented. The founders are represented as extremely precarious, womanizing lout and sick. Sometimes these defects are difficult to come out a little bit, but overall it works well as a fix for the image too sanitized many Americans of the time.

In the center of this whole story is Connor, who is the Assassin protagonist with a Forrest Gump-ability in almost every important moment of the revolution. His
assassin's creed hoodie is a symbol of him. See Connor awkward in all inserted, the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's ride great battles and the second constitutional convention shocking enough to require a huge suspension of disbelief, but it works well as a plot device to insert the reader into the history of fiction.

Connor is trapped in the colonial conflict in the endless war between Assassins and Templars, and it seems a little too eager to support a group of settlers who are constantly encroaching on the land of his people. Rapidly changing loyalties and mercurial as he balance his duty, the Assassins, the settlers and his tribe, which is fighting to admire him as a naive child more heroic protagonist. As Connor continues to proudly proclaim the mantle of the capital-F freedom as a shield does nothing to help this impression.

Though not all the fans of Assassin's Creed 3 like Connor, I think him is a real hero, I also found many people both like the protagonist and the assassins creed costumes of the game.
