While I won't deny that, it's sewn into their backgrounds. Ezio was secretly being groomed to become an assassin and steadily progresses to the point he's named mentor. Altair was born into it and was already the best by the time his game happens. Connor grew up in a tribe and got taught by a master assassin when he was a teenager.
In contrast, Edward was some peasant Welsh ship-hand.

and what they did to the story
i know it was all downhill after 3's ending but come on

Sailors had to climb around in the rigging all day. That's not the same as doing parkour, but other than being an Indian skulking in the trees or a chimney sweep that's probably as climby of a job as someone is going to have. Makes perfect sense. For stealth, buccaneers did frequently raid plantations (like in the game, but with full raiding parties). A pirate (who would also likely be a casual thief) being good at slinking around also makes sense. It and Indian are both the two lifestyles that make the most sense to fit with the Assassin's Creed gameplay.

Edward was Arthur Morgan before he was a thing.
>I may be a greedy, alcoholic, wife-abandoning, thieving, and murdering cunt but at least I'm not a racist.
And he was just good at everything for no reason. He kills a fully trained assassin at the very beginning and ends up hunting megalodons with spears on a shitty raft.

Need to buy on sale sometime. Missed it on GOG recently. Shame.

That's what whaling is, sitting in a flimsy boat with a spear and fighting massive sea beasts. Admittedly harpooner is a dedicated career that requires being trained for, there's no particular reason why Edward should have known how to harpoon, but you can always handwave it as that maybe he spent some time on whaleships before winding up a pirate.


I'm worried about some footage I saw of Mirage having magical teleporting abilities. AC is probably just a lost cause at this point. I don't even like the story anymore and haven't for a decade.

The worst trend of the last two decades is how pretty women became non existent, while men are sexualised to an insane degree. To the point that implying a woman can be thin is called white supremacy while every Hollywood actor sports a six pack and zero hairs on his chest.

The funny thing I've noticed, & probably I'm the only one who did, is that it accelerated more after the Harvey Weinstein's fall.

Yes, that is literally what it is, along with the male feminists that simp for said low self-esteem women because they think they can have a chance with them. Their insecurities is all under the guise of patriarchy, sexist, muhsoggyknees, etc...

And leftists are completely sad people with no father figure whatsoever

It's not that I don't think his profession imparted him skills, but I just can't buy it. Edward doesn't fit the world of Assassin's Creed. Then again, what I think is Assassin's Creed hasn't been Assassin's Creed for a decade at this point.

I cannot, for the life of me, recall any entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise to be remotely good after its second game.

Not Brotherhood, Revelations, or 3? Granted, it's been years since I played the first two in my list, and I just cannot forgive what 3 did to the combat nor Desmond.

Ok, you got me, they were good. But I just don't think the third game was actually as good as the first two, but yes, they were fun. But I still stand my ground that Assassin's Creed has been shit for a decade.
 
God of Nothing said:
Well, yeah. AC3 came out in fucking 2012

And it's sad that when the last good game came out in almost a decade and that AssCreed stopped being good for the entirety of the decade shows that Ubi is just using it as a brand rather than just end the game series after 3.

Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla aren't even about the main plot of the damn series. They're just games set at certain time periods with mythological elements instead of the "real history" and alien precursor stuff. The protagonist of Valhalla is some reincarnation of Loki for fuck's sake.
 
unity had a nice parkour system, though flawed in some areas. needed some more refinement but syndicate was the end of parkouring in these games and theyre only bringing it back now with that new game. it better be as good as unity's or at least far more improved on when they release it

Not to mention they're fucking slogs to get through. I managed to finish Origins but I quit playing Odyssey 40 hours in (almost double the time it took me to 100% every AC from 1 to Syndicate). There's just too much busywork garbage and the lazy RPG system fucking sucks. Combat is also massively unfun because everything is a damage sponge now as opposed to... You know, being able to assassinate motherfuckers. I picked up Valhalla absurdly cheap a year or two ago but I seriously doubt I'm even going to bother because I know it's just going to be more of the same.

Not going to make an autistic argument that being a sailor in ye olden days will turn you into a ninja, but that absolutely was back breaking work so I could at least make allowances for strength and agility.

Yea, the stories are fucking stupid. I really wish they never went with the whole Animus thing or fucking aliens, should have had each game just be it's own contained period piece. I hated Origins gameplay for example but that at least had a fun take on your classic revenge story.

He wasn't just a sailor but was part of the crew of a privateer, so he had plenty of experience shanking dudes and getting shanked. That facial scar where they stitched his face up with fucking rope or something given the size of the scarring is a pretty good indicator of just what he'd been through before he switching to assassin work.

As for the racism, Edward is half-Welsh, which is a pretty big black mark against someone now, never mind the 1700's. Of course he'd feel sympathetic to other people who are getting shat on because of their ancestry.

What's with Tumblr thinking that a woman cannot be attractive AND a worthwhile character? Do they have such low expectations for themselves that everybody has to suffer?

The bigger part about that is trying to stay compliant with ESG/DEI requirements, otherwise banks won't lend money out to you. It's to the point that checklists are literally made, just to keep track of those details.

Part of that is ESG, part of it is the increasing number of fujoshi-adjacents/gigglesquee types in the industry.

I think you meant to respond to @God of Nothing
 
Blacks were a huge chunk of pirates and often were captains. It’s o e if those things where racism really did skew public impressions, like it also did with few Blacks/Mexicans/Germans in old Westerns. People made movies and books for audiences that didn’t want to see a Caribbean that is basically Africas colony.

Bullshit. A conservative quasi-dictatorship is financing one of their games right now and the game is filled with ugly women and niggers.
