Connor's story was truly tragic. He fought so hard, did so much to protect his people and his home, and it all amounted to nothing. A perfect reflection of how shitty real life can get.
He became an assassin to fight against British force so he can protect the tribe, but at the end, it was the force he was helping that ended up wipe out his tribe.
@@elmermartinez8216 Edward Kenway had no home, he was a privateer later became a pirate. He kept saying he would go back to his wife once he is rich but never attempted to go back to visit her.
I don’t understand how some people criticize Connor’s voice actor for coming across bland or dull or poor in performance. Connor is Native American, they’re known for having more monotone voices, also due to English being their second language. When he speaks his own language he does a great job using more inflection and emphasis, which makes it more believable. And even in English, since he’s talked to Achilles for years in it, he becomes even less “dull” in his English speech tone when he talks as an adult compared to when he was a teen. Noah Watts did a fantastic job imo, similar to Roger Craig, they both needed to voice an aging character; Noah only had one game to do it. I appreciate Ubisoft putting actual native language into the game as well.
that could have worked when Connor was young he would have changed his voice when he met Achilles since he instructed him culturally and The accent change would ve more better
I don't think it is really a problem with the voice actor more than his acting in certain scenes, the main reason there would be a weak script and lack of polishing. Considering it was rushed to release.
***** He at times called Haytham his father and said sailing ships runs in his family and made a reference to Edward, if he accepts them both as family then he is a Kenway.
Ahh I didn't get the whole "what you did 14 years ago" thing until I read the wiki so now it makes sense. Washington ordered Connor's village burned when he was a boy, not Lee. And it made total sense now why he was mad at Haytham too because obviously he knew but only brought it up just now to try to sway Connor to his side.
A shame that he still goes against Lee even though technically Washington is the main man responsible for the village burned, so this plot twist affected nothing within the story
which makes me sad because if you read forsaken , it makes sense that haytham waited until then. he knew connor wouldn't have believed him by just his word alone and needed proof. i just wish haytham STILL would have said something and that way connor would see he wasn't just saying it at this moment to get him to rally beside him and the templars. forsaken really murdered my soul for my top favorite characters (these two.) because it's just so simple... if haytham was vulnerable enough and emotionally strong enough to just tell connor HALF the things written in that journal of his , connor wouldn't have been able to kill him and they maybe could've actually worked together and haytham could actually BE the man he was supposed to and actually wished and wanted to be, like connor. and if connor had just been open enough to maybe give haytham some benefit of the doubt , which i know is really difficult considering, but even the slightest bit could've changed the entire outcome of these two beautiful fucking people. seeing how they ended really breaks my heart every time.
TheMegaUzumaki well to be fair the only reason Haythem even became a Templar was because his father Edward wasn’t around to raise him, leaving Haythem to find a parental figure in a Templar, can’t remember his name. And I would definitely describe Edward as a hedonist, after all, the only reason black flag occurred was because his pursuit of pleasure.
ShangramKhan Here is a simple reason why its not a plot hole and why you are wrong: HAYTHAM...DOES...NOT...REALLY...CARE...ABOUT...CONNOR....AT...AAAALLLLLL. Haytham's love for his son was almost non-existent as was this case for his wife. He preffered duty over family, that's why he didn't care that much. The writing is perfect here fir showing how cold Haytham is, yet yiu fail to see something THIS SIMPLE. Man, people are stupid sometimes, especially those with no mind.
Sad fact: Haytham said that Connor's village was burned 14 years ago. This happened when he was 5. So he is only 18-19 here. Way too young to go through this pain.
You weren't a kid at 18-19 back then mate. You were an adult at 15. The concept of being what we call a child in modern days haven't existed for all of man's life. Back in the day you were what you would call a "small adult" children wasn't children and were supposed to act maturely and wore adult clothing in child size. You started working very early in your life. In tribal nations boys started hunting very early. Hunt and kill your prey = made you a man. You confuse our modern way of looking at child-toddler-teenager-adult and try to implement it in a time where those titles didn't exist. You were a child until you could work/hunt than you were an adult. A child with a gun in war is not a child. So don't feel THAT bad.
A lot of people complain Connor was naive, but they fail to realize natives of the age were easily swayed. This scene really exemplifies what I'm certain many natives felt when they realized they had been played for fools. Connor seems so real throughout the game.
Now who says that Connor has no emotion? Anger is an emotion. I would act the same way too if I found out that the leader of an army seeking independence and peace were to commit genocide on my people.
OtomostheCrazy I have to admit though, he does show emotion, but in a sort of awkward way. With bland speech. But that doesn't mean he can't feel emotion. He loves his friends, and even with all his dull dialogue, the love him just the same.
WALN Zell what I like to think is this: just because someone doesn't show emotion, doesn't mean they don't feel it. But you are right, Connor shows emotion
These ac fucking always love dick riding ezio him and not giving other MC a chance like if you look deep into connor character you could start to understand him and what he been through not knowing who to trust both are his enemies
This was the first game from the franchise I knew about, at least more than Revelations (I was 13 then). I only waited 9 years to actually buy and play it.
Masterpiece and assassin's creed never belong in the same sentence, every game in this God forsaken franchise is half baked and bloated with repetitive shit.
Interestingly enough is that its actually a modified version of his Grandfather's (Edward Kenway) outfit that he took off of Former Assassin turned Templar Duncan Walpole at the beginning of Black Flag
"How long did you sit on this information." Good question, Connor.. Haytham doesn't seem to have an answer. He sat on it until he thought it would be a good time to sway Connor to join the Templar order, only to have it blow up in his face. Congrats, Connor.. You've earned my respect. When you stood up to your father for being a hypocrite.. Haytham's plan has gone under. I felt nothing for Haytham before, I felt Connor was naive. But, now.. Connor is not so naive. He isn't easily swayed and he has the courage to fight for what he knows is right. That is why he has earned the highest regards in my eyes.
Thank goodness someone else sees it. There are far too many people who condemn Connor for his action, declaring him naive and idiotic when it was the best thing to do. Also, people don't seem to understand that Haytham did the same when Birch had explained why he ruined his life. He raged, but the difference is, Haytham killed him while Connor left, cut ties, and after killing him, grew to realize he made a mistake.
Raeyne Jaymeson well, I think the people often forget just how young he was when all of this happened. He was around 14 years old, when what was basically in his eyes a goddamn goddess came down and told him he was the chosen one there to fight for the freedom of his people and to save the country. He spent the rest of his teenage years training to be a killer and being taught the ways of the brotherhood. Is it really such a surprise that he turned out to be so idealistic and had a lack of understanding about the greater world around him? He was only 20 when the revolutionary war broke out and he was thrust into the middle of political positioning and ideological conflict that he simply wasn't ready for. I think him not fully understanding how the world works makes perfect sense, it would have been ridiculous for him to have been wise and shrewd as basically a child.
Me and my friends got into a fight it was 7 of us I quit her group to join my other friends she got mad and called me names her boyfriend said my mom raised me wrong he said why did you quit I threw him into a tree outside his girlfriend AKA former best friend I hit him once and I heard her voice she said don’t you dare I froze first time I heard her yell I walked away and after I never talked to her agin
So this guy believes Charles Lee, a complete stranger that he never met before, over Connor, his long term and childhood friend? How is that even possible?
Connor is long gone and with the Conlonist threatening his Home, he couldn´t help, but to believe that his friend betrayed him. It´s the same with Altair and Al Mualim, he didn´t believed he betrayed him at first, but then seeing some really convincing evidences, he began to see, who Al Mualim truly is. That´s not bad writing, that´s good writing, because it shows how misunderstanding tears us apart
Connor and Altaïr are very similar. Both reformed their respective brotherhoods into something greater and dedicated their lives to the Creed to a fault. The only difference is Connor didn’t let himself get corrupted by any pieces of eden and lived a happy life, something many Assassins are denied.
"A warning to you both! Choose to follow me or oppose me and I will kill you." Absolute hardest line in all of the Assassin's Creed franchise and this is coming from somebody who's been playing since day 1. I loved this game and I always come back just for that line, that is the resolve of a man who would threaten the leader of an entire nation's life in front of his men for what he believed in. Regardless of what people may say this is one of my favorite AC games and Connor is a protagonist to be admired.
I think the problem is that people often mistake stoic characters as being emotionless. Connor is indeed stoic, likely due to his harsh upbringing, but there are many points in the story where he shows emotion. Mostly anger, but also sorrow, and ever so occasionally, joy (again, not at all surprising given how awful his life is). Not all are spoken either, when he kills his friend and is hesitant to touch his body, that says so much more than words ever could. Not to mention that many of his softer moments are in the homestead and assassin recruitment side missions, which are just as much a part of the game as the main story. In effect, people miss the forest for the trees and only see his stoicism, missing all these great moments.
@Joël the only emotion that gets the hold of him is anger whenever Charles Lee is involved, he's pretty bland about everything else, I really can't describe what his personality would be.
I've grown into liking Connor, idk why I trashed him before but I felt stupid for hating him when this a unique tragic character. We can't have all loving and funny characters like Ezio all the time.
I first played AC3 when I was 17, the same age as him I and don't know why people don't like him. He has a bolder character, because of his tragic childhood and life, his main goal is to train and revenge, giving his tribe freedom, which is a heavy burden for a young man. Ezio in the other hand had a wonderful childhood, lived in a peaceful, pretty and poetic place until his family was murdered, hence he was much different.
This is how I feel right now. I can now admit that I didn’t like Connor, or want to like him cause he wasn’t Altair or Ezio. They were the legendary assassins to me. Anyone else in comparison is nothing. It was a silly thing to live by since I only played ac3 once. I’ll have to replay this game again. Am currently playing the newer ones and then going back to the older ones. Going to have an assassins creed marathon. But overall all the assassins in each game have their merits, even if they’re not your favourites, you can still like them.
Connor is such a leader. Within 40 seconds of learning the truth about the entirety of his life he wraps up with his father, raps up with the man who ordered his village be destroyed and sets off to try and prevent history from repeating itself.
How the hell does he seem emotionless? He seems to be the most compassionate out of all of them so far. Plus, he is clearly expressing his anger towards Haytham and Washington in this scene. If he didn't feel anything then he wouldn't have cared to go help his village and he wouldn't have snapped at his father.
I like how Connor's life is full of tragety, loss and the fact he actually gets angry. he isn't perfect like Ezio, all of these aspects are what make him an actual 'human' character.
What are you talking about? Ezio was extremely angry, especially at the start of the game, did you forget how he brutally killed the guy who betrayed his family in front of everyone? Or how angry he was when he killed De Pazzi?
1:52 it was this scene that hurt me the most when Connor split himself away from his father that was didn't hesitate to help Connor save the very thing that matters most to him. I always wanted an alternate ending where Connor forms a official alliance with his father. After all in real time history, we know how well the natives were actually treated...
It’s so sad how Edward Kennway and Conner fought for polar opposite reasons and yet ended at the same result. Edward fought for gold, a life of riches, and greed and in the end had no one by his side yet Connor fought selflessly, always seeking to help others yet ended up nearly the same
Connor was a great character. He had a good voice actor in my opinion. I think a lot of people just think he is monotone because he doesnt have the charisma of ezio or edward. In reality, his voice makes perfect sense for his character. Big, strong, and brutal, yet humble, quiet, and reserved. He is definitely naive but who wouldnt be in his shoes? He never saw the outside world until he was a teenager. Everything about his character makes sense. And he expresses anger really well
Matthew Yohanes Possibly in Assassin's Creed Unity Connor could be the mentor for the new assassin just assassin's Creed Revalotions with Ezio and Alteir
Yeah, probably Assassins' Creed Down Under where an Aboriginal Australian assassin whom I'll name Djarrjuntjun might have a similar past like Connor, hailed from West Australia. Then Connor (in Achilles' robes) joins Djarrjuntjun and Arno in the fight against James Cook and the templars who seek to colonise Australia. There will be iconic Red Rock, Sydney, Adelaide, Swan River Colony (now called Perth), Van Dieman's Land (now called Tasmania) and Canberra. 1779 Djarrjuntjun assassinates James Cook The assassins meet Tarenorerer, Tunnerminnerwait, Yagan and Planobeena , assassins who will establish assassins of Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians and Polynesians. Djarrjuntjun, Connor and Arno meet these assassins to take part in rebellions against colony in Australia. Connor's daughter would surprise them from there. Peter Lalor who led through Eureka Rebellion Eureka Rebellion, Castle Hill Convict Rebellion, Rum Rebellion, Bathurst Rebellion, etc... Side missions, similar to homestead missions. Side mission, place the body of his deceased ma on top of Red Rock. Side mission, naval battles Side missions, helping the roos, koalas, platypus, snakes, spiders
SteppedOnTaco connor is an awesome character hes 1 of those guys whos super serious and dark and your just straight up hating on him. Then what do you think about batman
I agree. I like Ezio but his fanboys are very annoying. They think to be good assassin or an interesting character in general = charismatic, playboy joker and because Connor is a more intense character, this apparently makes him "boring". I guess this is a result of ubisoft milking Ezio dry.
I wouldn't say that Ezio was milked dry. He was very will written, to the very end. But Connor's character is very monotone and grounded. He's more relatable and natural than the other characters in the franchise.
@@ThatGuyErazo idk, having Ezio's Family being the "official" theme song for basically every game, being constantly referenced and even have his Roman robes in Origins and Odyssey - centuries before the "prophecy" was born - would make Ezio Auditore Da Firenze very dry. Sorry, but I don't really like him.
the thing that most broke my heart, is that you can truly see he's hurt when he comes to the truth. Even tho it's just a videogame, it gives you many emotions. It's so sad, he's just hurting and hurting all over again.
Since Shay (the new protagonist in AC Rogue) was still alive during and after the Seven Years War and American Revolution. I'd like to see a DLC story where Connor goes to hunt down Shay and ultimately kill him to avenge the Colonial Assassin Brotherhood who have fallen before him.
Snake897 Which leads to Connor and Arno teaming up to take down Shay since they have a common enemy, but than again. Both Assassins might be able to take on Shay since he is no longer at his prime.
***** Shay against Connor would be a pretty brutal fight but I reckon Connor would have it. As for Arno well, he seemed to be more of the stealthy assassin type instead of a fighter.
Snake897 I think Shay would be smart to know that he won't be able to take down Arno and Connor on his own, so he'll recruit several more Colonial Templars and some his remaining best men to fight them both.
***** If Arno's going to make an appearance he'll have to be the one we take control as because he'll have to be the one to take him out (for obvious reasons). The DLC can be...Arno gets information about his father's killer and learns of the killers last known location. He sails to the New World and meets with the Colonial Assassins. Arno, then, heads to their HQ - the Davenport Homestead to meet with the Mentor of the Brotherhood: Ratonhnhaké:ton aka Connor. The two work together to find the, now, Grand Master of the Templar Order's American Rite, Shay Cormac! He is now leading a new team of Templar's and it is up to Arno with the help of Connor and fellow Assassins to stop Shay once and for all. At the last bit of the game both Connor and Arno is chasing down Shay. Shay leads them both into a trap where they're surrounded by numerous foes. Connor tells Arno, "Go! I'll handle this." Arno pursues Shay where they have their climatic battle alone. Though it seems Shay is going to make the killing blow Arno is the one to deliver it. A tired Arno can barely stand while Connor comes to his aid.Or Arno goes back to aid Connor only to see a bloodied Connor (looking all badass) left standing in the midst of a pile bodies. Lol. I had to make Connor awesome because 1, he is and 2, he's still my favorite Assassin even after Edward, Adewale, Shay, and Arno : ) I'm still hoping for a sequel starring Connor once again!
Connor will always be my favorite assassin. Not just blind nostalgia. I grew up in part of my life witnessing his history and learning of that timeline. It was the first assassins creed game i could beat when i was younger.
Connor got screwed by not getting another game and being made to look like a drube and AC 5 should be "you" again after Shaun and Rebecca sneak you out of Abstergo and have you relieve the middle and later part of Connor's life as he could have found a valuable artifact while traveling abroad. He could have traveled to Europe to explore the world as he had no real ties in America anymore. His motivation could be to uncover the dark secrets of the Assassins, Templars, and the First Civilization. It would be incredibly awesome if Connor had to deal with a Sage in France during the French Revolution. You could spend most of the game searching for answers and freeing the French people. I would love if Connor found a memory seal and left a message for the present day Asassins. I also want to see him learn that Juno wasn't a supernatural being, but a precursor being. Ezio even learned this in his time period.
I think Connor threatened both if they oppose Connor then he Will kill both of them,not only Haytham,and you see during he fighting Haytham,he ordered his dad to surrender
"You oppose tyranny. Injustice. These are just symptoms. Their true cause is human weakness. Why do you think I keep on trying to show you the error of your way?" Damnit i cannot argue with that...
Fr he’s my favorite assassin. AC3 is one of my favorite games. People didn’t want to let Ezio go and give Connor a chance. They over look that he was a Native American. He wasn’t raised around colonial influences. He only knew that it was up to him to protect this people.
I did understand Connor since I was 13 (I'm brazillian and did study a lot about the brazillian natives, the feelings on the white man, the kind of thinking) and I'm surprised with how much people criticize the way he express himself. Only now I'm realizing a lot of people don't have any ideia of interpretation and hated a perfect character
This is the saddest moment I experinced in AC 3. Watching Kanentokon die after Connor had no choice but to kill him really hit me especially after Charles Lee that bastard twisted Kanentokon's mind with the lies. 😢
Yeah chasing the last guy on his horse was frustrating. I manage to cheat and went around the forest on foot and climbed up on some trees and then traveled closer to him to trigger his runaway. From there i was able to wait for him on the tree and assassinate him from above.
If it was hard for then u suck ass at the game I’ve played this story 10 times already bc it’s my favorite one and I’ve basically mastered each mission
Lee was a cruel, intolerant, racist jerkoff though and deserved what he got. Haytham seemed to have some good in him, so I don't see why he endorsed Lee. Endorsing Lee made Haytham a hypocrite as he claimed he wanted people to be happy and free of worry. Lee would have likely instituted early drug laws to supress the people's creative output and to "maintain order." (To KuraMad2000).
Lee was more of a radical and got things done. If it weren't for his drunkenness and Washington being a clean-shaven politician, Lee would have been Commander-in-chief, then president. Which is what Haytham wanted. Which is also why I also wanted Haytham as the final boss, He's the string-puller.
Lee didn't give two shits about Connor's village. He just wanted the land protected so that the Templars could excavate it and look for the Grand Temple. It's ironic that after Rogue came out, that Haytham was made aware that Apples of Eden existed, and with his intellect should have known that he had already found the door to the Temple, The circular hole in the wall should have let him know that he needed an Apple and he wouldn't have even bothered having Johnson try to buy Connor's land illegally. So basically Rogue retconned AC3 quite a bit. I mean Shay had high tech weapons 20 years prior to Connor, and Connor didn't have shit other than his plain arrows and a few poison darts.
well Lee was his legacy in a way. if Connor joined the Templars im pretty sure Haytham wouldnt really care about Connor killing Lee since he really wanted to do it but he probably would try to talk him out of doing it one more time. he had Connor who is his son so he didnt need Lee anymore. even tho Lee gets stuff done so does Connor which means Haytham doesnt have to worry about the Templars.
That first cutscene was intense. Really glad they chose the Native/European-Native angle instead of Colonist/British with their main character and the overall narrative presentation, it made the story wayyy more engaging and interesting both in general and personally to an American like myself either currently or when I was in middle school first playing this.
Everyone seem to be mad at Connor but you gotta remember that his current mentor, his father figure for years before Haythom, is urging him to end all of the Template, especially Haytham. Achilles has that affect.
Connor is still my favorite Assassin, but here I can see that his anger got the better of him here. Haytham was still willing to help him, but Connor was very quick to assume he was hiding the truth from him. I think it was this event that caused Haytham decide that his son had to die.
Assassin’s Creed 3 is like the “Phantom Pain” of the Assassin’s creed series. Not only is it underrated, but it could have been so much more and would have remembered for years to come, if only Ubisoft had taken the time to actually fully flesh out the game instead of chasing this annual release schedule. There are so many moments, character dialogues and plot points that shine; so many glimmers of greatness, but ultimately, the rest of the experience just couldn’t hold up because of Ubisoft not wanting to wait too long, and not pour more resources to make this a phenomenal game. Still, it is probably the last game before AC truly went to shit.
This is just sad, Connor learned, that it was not Lee that burned down his village, and that it was Washington. His father already knew it and didn't tell him earlier, and Connor was forced to kill his friend. Really sad mission, and honestly, Connor's story is just underrated.
Imagine Ubisoft make Assassins' Creed Down Under where an Aboriginal Australian assassin whom I'll name Djarrjuntjun might have a similar past like Connor, hailed from West Australia.

I used to think this game wasn't as good but I'm older now and now I see what this game was about. Connor was dealt a bad hand from his childhood to adulthood.
One question. Why did Haytham keep this information from Conner in the first place? Why not just tell him the truth about Washington's actions from the beginning? Had he come to Conner with the truth right away, he just might have earned his trust. Why did he sit on this information?
Argonian Ale It just doesn't make any sense though. Haytham had no reason to protect Washington's secrets. He spent most of the game trying to discredit him and he spent all his time with Conner trying to convince Conner that Washington was untrustworthy. If anything it would have made more sense for Haytham to come to Conner with this information from the start. He would have succeeded in earning his son's trust and would have also robbed Washington of one of his strongest supporters. The Conner and Haytham interactions were usually the best written parts of the whole game but this was just bad.
***** That's another reason why I think Haytham should have come to Conner with this information right away. The way I see it if Haytham had told Conner about Washington's betrayal right away two things could have happened. If Conner decided to trust Haytham, then the two of them could have worked together to stop the attack, thus strengthening their bond and making Conner easier to turn to the Templar cause. Another possibility is that Conner chooses to believe that Haytham is lying and decides to ignore his warning.Conner would of course realize Haytham was telling the truth when the attack actually took place. The destruction of his village would have caused Conner to lose faith in Washington, while simultaneously strengthening his trust in Haytham. He would have seen that his father was only trying to help him and would be more trusting of Haytham in the future. Both of these scenarios would have provided Haytham ample opportunity to turn Conner over to his way of thinking, but by waiting to reveal this information all Haytham did was make Conner question his motives. It became too obvious that Haytham was simply trying to use Conners feelings to get him to change sides. Conner realizes this and loses faith in Haytham as a result, so by keeping this information secret Haytham destroyed any chance he had of turning his son over to the Templars.
***** I don't really see how. It seems like saying it at that moment only eliminated opportunities for Conner to become a templar. Haytham would have had a better chance if he had shared what he knew from the beginning.
Haytham was trying to make Connor break his alliance with Washington and join the Templar cause... But Washington never gave the order but he did know about it and allowed the event to happen.
Such a well written game, there’ll come a day in the future when people will sober up from their Ezio hangover (no offence to Ezio, my fav as well), and will realise the kenway saga to be a top tier AC game. for me this is peak AC, Connor starting with nothing but a crippled mentor and restoring the Creed by himself. Connor for me is the best assassin second only to Ezio and Altair. He’s his own man; not an Ezio clone. He has his own personality.
@@utoresa5193 While Connor leaves almost sadly, his assassin recruits and his daughter assassinate Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Kamala, AIPAC, NSA, CIA, ADL, Hadassah, Hollywood, Disney and those in House of Senate
I still can't believe people thought Connor had no personality, like did they somehow skip this scene? There were several moments like this in the game where Connor's emotion just sent chills down my spine, was fucking awesome, he is definitely the most badass and convicted Assassin yet
for the first time since I got an account on this site, the recommended section has led me to a video that was completely unrelated to what I was watching and awesome (no weirdness!). I think my day's gonna get ALOT better.....
Yeah that sounds epic doesn’t it. Let’s hope it comes out for the ps5! Looking forward to them all being backward compatible. It doesn’t matter whether they get enhanced/remastered, or remain with the same graphics, I’ll just be glad to play them again
I like what this game does with having all spoken languages actually heard as they would be. I wish there was a way to do that for the previous games. I feel like it would be more accurate to the Animus to just tap into the memories of the ancestor knowing that language than it would be to translate it all in real time.
This sequence was the most emotional for me. First, he gets betrayed by the man he's been working with. Then he leaves his father when he was so close to building am alliance with him and maybe, MAYBE, starting over as son and father. The he has no choice but to kill his childhood friend. My heart ached for Connor so much
When you realize Connor just threated to kill both Grand Master Templar and Our 1st President at the same time
And yet he got away with it like a boss 😎😎😎
They knew, he would of killed them both, assassin style.
He's basically the greek kratos of the assassins creed franchise
That’s just how much of a bad ass he is
to be fair, that fort soldier is basically just cannon fodder for him.
What I love is that Connor lowers his hood when he gets to the village. He doesn't want to enter the village as an Assassin, but as one of his people.
Ye

I wish I had that sexy voice
No one really criticized the voice actor just the character
@@stnimrod2014 The voice acting was part of the bland accusation. I disagree with it but it has been an accusation against the character.

Ahh I didn't get the whole "what you did 14 years ago" thing until I read the wiki so now it makes sense. Washington ordered Connor's village burned when he was a boy, not Lee. And it made total sense now why he was mad at Haytham too because obviously he knew but only brought it up just now to try to sway Connor to his side.
A shame that he still goes against Lee even though technically Washington is the main man responsible for the village burned, so this plot twist affected nothing within the story
which makes me sad because if you read forsaken , it makes sense that haytham waited until then. he knew connor wouldn't have believed him by just his word alone and needed proof. i just wish haytham STILL would have said something and that way connor would see he wasn't just saying it at this moment to get him to rally beside him and the templars.
forsaken really murdered my soul for my top favorite characters (these two.) because it's just so simple... if haytham was vulnerable enough and emotionally strong enough to just tell connor HALF the things written in that journal of his , connor wouldn't have been able to kill him and they maybe could've actually worked together and haytham could actually BE the man he was supposed to and actually wished and wanted to be, like connor.
and if connor had just been open enough to maybe give haytham some benefit of the doubt , which i know is really difficult considering, but even the slightest bit could've changed the entire outcome of these two beautiful fucking people. seeing how they ended really breaks my heart every time.
TheMegaUzumaki well to be fair the only reason Haythem even became a Templar was because his father Edward wasn’t around to raise him, leaving Haythem to find a parental figure in a Templar, can’t remember his name. And I would definitely describe Edward as a hedonist, after all, the only reason black flag occurred was because his pursuit of pleasure.
i didn't say "being a man" i said "being the man he was meant to be" just meaning as far as living an assassin life , not templar.
ShangramKhan Here is a simple reason why its not a plot hole and why you are wrong: HAYTHAM...DOES...NOT...REALLY...CARE...ABOUT...CONNOR....AT...AAAALLLLLL.
Haytham's love for his son was almost non-existent as was this case for his wife. He preffered duty over family, that's why he didn't care that much.
The writing is perfect here fir showing how cold Haytham is, yet yiu fail to see something THIS SIMPLE. Man, people are stupid sometimes, especially those with no mind.
"Connor shows no emotion"
Like, really, people?
Lui 10:54 but he still got sad and hes my favorite assassin
Just because you try your best to be stoic doesn't mean you are not burning on the inside.
Lui your right. But u know sometimes he can show it
retards say that connor has no emotion
Aren't assassin suppose to not show emotion there trained killers after all
Sad fact: Haytham said that Connor's village was burned 14 years ago. This happened when he was 5.
So he is only 18-19 here. Way too young to go through this pain.
Aboriginal TruthTeller Are you ok?
He's abit older than that, he kills his father a bit after this, which was when he was 25..
You weren't a kid at 18-19 back then mate. You were an adult at 15. The concept of being what we call a child in modern days haven't existed for all of man's life. Back in the day you were what you would call a "small adult" children wasn't children and were supposed to act maturely and wore adult clothing in child size. You started working very early in your life.
In tribal nations boys started hunting very early. Hunt and kill your prey = made you a man.
You confuse our modern way of looking at child-toddler-teenager-adult and try to implement it in a time where those titles didn't exist. You were a child until you could work/hunt than you were an adult.
A child with a gun in war is not a child.
So don't feel THAT bad.
It sucks but it was common in those days. Be glad you grew up in this day and age.
I think he was 8
A lot of people complain Connor was naive, but they fail to realize natives of the age were easily swayed. This scene really exemplifies what I'm certain many natives felt when they realized they had been played for fools. Connor seems so real throughout the game.
What outfit is he wearing

Now who says that Connor has no emotion? Anger is an emotion. I would act the same way too if I found out that the leader of an army seeking independence and peace were to commit genocide on my people.
who says that Connor has no emotion. clearly they haven't played the homeatead missions
OtomostheCrazy I have to admit though, he does show emotion, but in a sort of awkward way. With bland speech. But that doesn't mean he can't feel emotion. He loves his friends, and even with all his dull dialogue, the love him just the same.
WALN Zell Not really bland, but the term is "Stoic."
WALN Zell what I like to think is this: just because someone doesn't show emotion, doesn't mean they don't feel it. But you are right, Connor shows emotion
These ac fucking always love dick riding ezio him and not giving other MC a chance like if you look deep into connor character you could start to understand him and what he been through not knowing who to trust both are his enemies
I like the way Connor talks
Calm down, it's just his opinion?
I know right? He’s very educated and speaks very intelligently, with poise and conviction. A true Assassin.

This was the first game from the franchise I knew about, at least more than Revelations (I was 13 then). I only waited 9 years to actually buy and play it.
Masterpiece and assassin's creed never belong in the same sentence, every game in this God forsaken franchise is half baked and bloated with repetitive shit.

"How long did you sit on this information." Good question, Connor.. Haytham doesn't seem to have an answer. He sat on it until he thought it would be a good time to sway Connor to join the Templar order, only to have it blow up in his face. Congrats, Connor.. You've earned my respect. When you stood up to your father for being a hypocrite.. Haytham's plan has gone under. I felt nothing for Haytham before, I felt Connor was naive. But, now.. Connor is not so naive. He isn't easily swayed and he has the courage to fight for what he knows is right. That is why he has earned the highest regards in my eyes.
Thank goodness someone else sees it.
There are far too many people who condemn Connor for his action, declaring him naive and idiotic when it was the best thing to do. Also, people don't seem to understand that Haytham did the same when Birch had explained why he ruined his life. He raged, but the difference is, Haytham killed him while Connor left, cut ties, and after killing him, grew to realize he made a mistake.
Raeyne Jaymeson well, I think the people often forget just how young he was when all of this happened. He was around 14 years old, when what was basically in his eyes a goddamn goddess came down and told him he was the chosen one there to fight for the freedom of his people and to save the country. He spent the rest of his teenage years training to be a killer and being taught the ways of the brotherhood. Is it really such a surprise that he turned out to be so idealistic and had a lack of understanding about the greater world around him? He was only 20 when the revolutionary war broke out and he was thrust into the middle of political positioning and ideological conflict that he simply wasn't ready for.
I think him not fully understanding how the world works makes perfect sense, it would have been ridiculous for him to have been wise and shrewd as basically a child.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Which didn't help that the ideals and cause he fought for were led by men who betrayed him.
Everybody can be naive... For a time
this scene was powerful asf
Me and my friends got into a fight it was 7 of us I quit her group to join my other friends she got mad and called me names her boyfriend said my mom raised me wrong he said why did you quit I threw him into a tree outside his girlfriend AKA former best friend I hit him once and I heard her voice she said don’t you dare I froze first time I heard her yell I walked away and after I never talked to her agin
Elijah Booker .........uuuuhhhh ok then, im gonna ignore the obvious attention seeking
@@og8486 i think you are mentally ill
So this guy believes Charles Lee, a complete stranger that he never met before, over Connor, his long term and childhood friend?
How is that even possible?
Its possible by bad writing.
Sadly enough betrayl like this happens often
Connor is long gone and with the Conlonist threatening his Home, he couldn´t help, but to believe that his friend betrayed him.
It´s the same with Altair and Al Mualim, he didn´t believed he betrayed him at first, but then seeing some really convincing evidences, he began to see, who Al Mualim truly is.
That´s not bad writing, that´s good writing, because it shows how misunderstanding tears us apart
+Yuwan 👏👍
For the era of time it wasn’t to uncommon
I love the fact that Noah Watts (Voice of Connor) said Altair was his favorite AC character.
Makes me love Ratohnhaketon even more!
Connor and Altaïr are very similar. Both reformed their respective brotherhoods into something greater and dedicated their lives to the Creed to a fault. The only difference is Connor didn’t let himself get corrupted by any pieces of eden and lived a happy life, something many Assassins are denied.
I love both of them
I favour Ezio and Connor only
"A warning to you both! Choose to follow me or oppose me and I will kill you." Absolute hardest line in all of the Assassin's Creed franchise and this is coming from somebody who's been playing since day 1. I loved this game and I always come back just for that line, that is the resolve of a man who would threaten the leader of an entire nation's life in front of his men for what he believed in. Regardless of what people may say this is one of my favorite AC games and Connor is a protagonist to be admired.
I think the problem is that people often mistake stoic characters as being emotionless. Connor is indeed stoic, likely due to his harsh upbringing, but there are many points in the story where he shows emotion. Mostly anger, but also sorrow, and ever so occasionally, joy (again, not at all surprising given how awful his life is). Not all are spoken either, when he kills his friend and is hesitant to touch his body, that says so much more than words ever could. Not to mention that many of his softer moments are in the homestead and assassin recruitment side missions, which are just as much a part of the game as the main story. In effect, people miss the forest for the trees and only see his stoicism, missing all these great moments.
Why are you here JoJo
@Joël the only emotion that gets the hold of him is anger whenever Charles Lee is involved, he's pretty bland about everything else, I really can't describe what his personality would be.
No you see Connor get emotional about his people and even about the people on the homsestead.
I've grown into liking Connor, idk why I trashed him before but I felt stupid for hating him when this a unique tragic character. We can't have all loving and funny characters like Ezio all the time.
DeyZeus yeah ezio is good but connor in my opinion is better
@@Pissicist2394 both are great.Ezio has better writing but Connor is more real and relatable
I first played AC3 when I was 17, the same age as him I and don't know why people don't like him. He has a bolder character, because of his tragic childhood and life, his main goal is to train and revenge, giving his tribe freedom, which is a heavy burden for a young man. Ezio in the other hand had a wonderful childhood, lived in a peaceful, pretty and poetic place until his family was murdered, hence he was much different.
This is how I feel right now. I can now admit that I didn’t like Connor, or want to like him cause he wasn’t Altair or Ezio. They were the legendary assassins to me. Anyone else in comparison is nothing. It was a silly thing to live by since I only played ac3 once. I’ll have to replay this game again. Am currently playing the newer ones and then going back to the older ones. Going to have an assassins creed marathon. But overall all the assassins in each game have their merits, even if they’re not your favourites, you can still like them.
@@utoresa5193 I relate to connor as well because I'm also a half breed.
Connor is such a leader. Within 40 seconds of learning the truth about the entirety of his life he wraps up with his father, raps up with the man who ordered his village be destroyed and sets off to try and prevent history from repeating itself.
How the hell does he seem emotionless? He seems to be the most compassionate out of all of them so far. Plus, he is clearly expressing his anger towards Haytham and Washington in this scene. If he didn't feel anything then he wouldn't have cared to go help his village and he wouldn't have snapped at his father.
how badass he said he would kill Haytham his father and the president of the US if they followed him... SAVAGE XD
Edward Kenway bloods
Washington at the stage wasn't President, he was the commander of the Patriots
Nitch42 ^-^ Well he would have shredded them both including Nazi Jason in this comment section.
Thats when you know you dont fuck with Connor
Uto Resa 519 woah take it easy man
I like how Connor's life is full of tragety, loss and the fact he actually gets angry. he isn't perfect like Ezio, all of these aspects are what make him an actual 'human' character.
What are you talking about? Ezio was extremely angry, especially at the start of the game, did you forget how he brutally killed the guy who betrayed his family in front of everyone? Or how angry he was when he killed De Pazzi?
@@ginogatash4030THE AUDITORE ARE NOT DEAD! IM STILL HERE!
1:52 it was this scene that hurt me the most when Connor split himself away from his father that was didn't hesitate to help Connor save the very thing that matters most to him. I always wanted an alternate ending where Connor forms a official alliance with his father. After all in real time history, we know how well the natives were actually treated...
yeah I'm half native
Jake Maji 3 had many flaws, not Least of which was acting like the Tribal nations didn't have political motives of their own
TheMegaUzumaki I believe you mean Technology.
The US had More resources than Europe during the Colonial period.
Still does, actually.
sweetblackblood1 And in some colonies like India the imperialists aided the natives against other colonial powers as well as other natives.
If only he knew that the patriots winning the revolution, the natives would loose the most and their land.
"14 years ago" "Seven Years War" It might be possible to met a young Connor in Rogue
No because Haytham is on the ship it takes place before 1756 the year connor was born
Not really no. Connor would be like 2 or 3.
Dante Planeta Connor wouldn't even be conceived at that point. :P
+Cr8zGamer We didn't.
Also rogue didnt feature the frontier
Only the north atlantic and new york.
I’ve played almost all Assassin’s Creed games and out of all of the protagonists I’ve almost found Connor’s story the most emotional and tragic...
It’s so sad how Edward Kennway and Conner fought for polar opposite reasons and yet ended at the same result. Edward fought for gold, a life of riches, and greed and in the end had no one by his side yet Connor fought selflessly, always seeking to help others yet ended up nearly the same
Connor is by far my favorite character in the AC series
Connor was a great character. He had a good voice actor in my opinion. I think a lot of people just think he is monotone because he doesnt have the charisma of ezio or edward. In reality, his voice makes perfect sense for his character. Big, strong, and brutal, yet humble, quiet, and reserved. He is definitely naive but who wouldnt be in his shoes? He never saw the outside world until he was a teenager. Everything about his character makes sense. And he expresses anger really well
I still dont understand the hate connor got hes still one of my favorites
retarted people ...

i would like to see Connor again like in ac5 or ac6 if it go's up to that
Connor's so boring. I don't know how anyone would like him. What does he do that makes you like the character?
To you he may be boring but thats because you dont care about all the shit that happened to him
Matthew Yohanes Possibly in Assassin's Creed Unity Connor could be the mentor for the new assassin just assassin's Creed Revalotions with Ezio and Alteir
Daniel Osaghae Connor is already a mentor by 1804 and he's training Adewale's grandson.
Oh yah I forgot the other assassin's Creed.
Connor really needed a sequel.
Yeah, probably Assassins' Creed Down Under where an Aboriginal Australian assassin whom I'll name Djarrjuntjun might have a similar past like Connor, hailed from West Australia. Then Connor (in Achilles' robes) joins Djarrjuntjun and Arno in the fight against James Cook and the templars who seek to colonise Australia.
There will be iconic Red Rock, Sydney, Adelaide, Swan River Colony (now called Perth), Van Dieman's Land (now called Tasmania) and Canberra.
1779 Djarrjuntjun assassinates James Cook
The assassins meet Tarenorerer, Tunnerminnerwait, Yagan and Planobeena , assassins who will establish assassins of Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians and Polynesians. Djarrjuntjun, Connor and Arno meet these assassins to take part in rebellions against colony in Australia. Connor's daughter would surprise them from there.
Peter Lalor who led through Eureka Rebellion
Eureka Rebellion, Castle Hill Convict Rebellion, Rum Rebellion, Bathurst Rebellion, etc...
Side missions, similar to homestead missions.
Side mission, place the body of his deceased ma on top of Red Rock.
Side mission, naval battles
Side missions, helping the roos, koalas, platypus, snakes, spiders
That threat by Connor to both Haytham and Washington was one of the badass moment in the game.
"Connor is boring. Connor has no emotion" ok
SteppedOnTaco connor is an awesome character hes 1 of those guys whos super serious and dark and your just straight up hating on him. Then what do you think about batman
SteppedOnTaco thats not true
I just found Connor unlikable. He didn't seem to grow or have some greater purpose.
He is cold, not emotionless
Actually yes he was when he's speaking in native language
I agree. I like Ezio but his fanboys are very annoying. They think to be good assassin or an interesting character in general = charismatic, playboy joker and because Connor is a more intense character, this apparently makes him "boring". I guess this is a result of ubisoft milking Ezio dry.
I wouldn't say that Ezio was milked dry. He was very will written, to the very end. But Connor's character is very monotone and grounded. He's more relatable and natural than the other characters in the franchise.
@@ThatGuyErazo edward and bayek too.
@@godzillas_tail Definitely
@@ThatGuyErazo idk, having Ezio's Family being the "official" theme song for basically every game, being constantly referenced and even have his Roman robes in Origins and Odyssey - centuries before the "prophecy" was born - would make Ezio Auditore Da Firenze very dry.

@@spelareNR14 Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he's milked dry, or isn't a well written and iconic character.

"Choose to follow me, or oppose me and I'll kill you" - CONNOR
What all tyrants say.
connor: it seems our people will never be safe...
so true it makes me cry 8''''(
Since Shay (the new protagonist in AC Rogue) was still alive during and after the Seven Years War and American Revolution. I'd like to see a DLC story where Connor goes to hunt down Shay and ultimately kill him to avenge the Colonial Assassin Brotherhood who have fallen before him.
I'd like to see Arno hunt him down considering Shay is the one who killed his father
Snake897 Which leads to Connor and Arno teaming up to take down Shay since they have a common enemy, but than again. Both Assassins might be able to take on Shay since he is no longer at his prime.
***** Shay against Connor would be a pretty brutal fight but I reckon Connor would have it. As for Arno well, he seemed to be more of the stealthy assassin type instead of a fighter.
Snake897 I think Shay would be smart to know that he won't be able to take down Arno and Connor on his own, so he'll recruit several more Colonial Templars and some his remaining best men to fight them both.
***** If Arno's going to make an appearance he'll have to be the one we take control as because he'll have to be the one to take him out (for obvious reasons). The DLC can be...Arno gets information about his father's killer and learns of the killers last known location. He sails to the New World and meets with the Colonial Assassins. Arno, then, heads to their HQ - the Davenport Homestead to meet with the Mentor of the Brotherhood: Ratonhnhaké:ton aka Connor. The two work together to find the, now, Grand Master of the Templar Order's American Rite, Shay Cormac! He is now leading a new team of Templar's and it is up to Arno with the help of Connor and fellow Assassins to stop Shay once and for all.
At the last bit of the game both Connor and Arno is chasing down Shay. Shay leads them both into a trap where they're surrounded by numerous foes. Connor tells Arno, "Go! I'll handle this." Arno pursues Shay where they have their climatic battle alone. Though it seems Shay is going to make the killing blow Arno is the one to deliver it. A tired Arno can barely stand while Connor comes to his aid.Or Arno goes back to aid Connor only to see a bloodied Connor (looking all badass) left standing in the midst of a pile bodies.
Lol. I had to make Connor awesome because 1, he is and 2, he's still my favorite Assassin even after Edward, Adewale, Shay, and Arno : ) I'm still hoping for a sequel starring Connor once again!
Connor was such a badass. Threatening two very powerful leaders at the same time with threats of death should they come after him
Connor will always be my favorite assassin. Not just blind nostalgia. I grew up in part of my life witnessing his history and learning of that timeline. It was the first assassins creed game i could beat when i was younger.
Honestly can’t wait for the remaster. Connor was a true Assassin. Honorable character. One man army. It’s gonna be epic.
Connor got screwed by not getting another game and being made to look like a drube and AC 5 should be "you" again after Shaun and Rebecca sneak you out of Abstergo and have you relieve the middle and later part of Connor's life as he could have found a valuable artifact while traveling abroad.
He could have traveled to Europe to explore the world as he had no real ties in America anymore. His motivation could be to uncover the dark secrets of the Assassins, Templars, and the First Civilization. It would be incredibly awesome if Connor had to deal with a Sage in France during the French Revolution. You could spend most of the game searching for answers and freeing the French people. I would love if Connor found a memory seal and left a message for the present day Asassins. I also want to see him learn that Juno wasn't a supernatural being, but a precursor being. Ezio even learned this in his time period.
He dont need another game he is trash nothing extra ordinary about him
Haytham claims he wanted to help Conner but he betrayed him in the end it goes to show he cares about the Templars more than his own son
5:15 He betrays his horse
Connor's looking at Haytham, not Washington when saying "and I will kill you". Foreshadowing much?
I think Connor threatened both if they oppose Connor then he Will kill both of them,not only Haytham,and you see during he fighting Haytham,he ordered his dad to surrender
Exactly actually also in a way to disgust distracted him on not hqving a feud woth washingon here and there.
As time passes I come to admire Connor more and more.
He lost his mom, father, best friend and his people. This guy is a beast...
10:50 is so sad. It's like he wants to cry.
That child screaming for his mother while she is burning in front of him is still there.Its so visible but subtle.Ezio fanboys don't know subtlety
@@utoresa5193 so true...
Cause he killed his life long best friend
Connor, when he killed his old friend, he was like" Patty man, amen. Rest in peace."
"You oppose tyranny. Injustice. These are just symptoms. Their true cause is human weakness. Why do you think I keep on trying to show you the error of your way?"
Damnit i cannot argue with that...
Connor is one of my favorite assassins, he's a good dude. yeah. he sometimes probably doesn't understand a few things, but he knows what's right.
Fr he’s my favorite assassin. AC3 is one of my favorite games. People didn’t want to let Ezio go and give Connor a chance. They over look that he was a Native American. He wasn’t raised around colonial influences. He only knew that it was up to him to protect this people.
When I was younger I saw Connor as a bland assassin now I see he's one of the very best...his story is so realistic
I did understand Connor since I was 13 (I'm brazillian and did study a lot about the brazillian natives, the feelings on the white man, the kind of thinking) and I'm surprised with how much people criticize the way he express himself. Only now I'm realizing a lot of people don't have any ideia of interpretation and hated a perfect character
Remember guys, freedom is not given, it is taken.
This is the saddest moment I experinced in AC 3. Watching Kanentokon die after Connor had no choice but to kill him really hit me especially after Charles Lee that bastard twisted Kanentokon's mind with the lies. 😢
lol this game has better voice acting than Odyssey
Yep let's face it
I hated this mission took me like 10 tries before i FINALLY finished it
Primrose Everdeen exactly it was so fustrating
well u both are noobs
Yeah chasing the last guy on his horse was frustrating. I manage to cheat and went around the forest on foot and climbed up on some trees and then traveled closer to him to trigger his runaway. From there i was able to wait for him on the tree and assassinate him from above.
this was mad hard as a kid
If it was hard for then u suck ass at the game I’ve played this story 10 times already bc it’s my favorite one and I’ve basically mastered each mission
This story was so good, all the dialogue and conversations. They will never surpass this.
Damn gotta love Connor, his story was so deep, and he was so majestic! Captured perfectly the majesty of the native people
Imagine living a life that never been lied to or lied to others and then people think you naive when you get fooled.
Connor is my favorite AC character.
Lee was a cruel, intolerant, racist jerkoff though and deserved what he got. Haytham seemed to have some good in him, so I don't see why he endorsed Lee. Endorsing Lee made Haytham a hypocrite as he claimed he wanted people to be happy and free of worry. Lee would have likely instituted early drug laws to supress the people's creative output and to "maintain order." (To KuraMad2000).
Lee was more of a radical and got things done. If it weren't for his drunkenness and Washington being a clean-shaven politician, Lee would have been Commander-in-chief, then president. Which is what Haytham wanted. Which is also why I also wanted Haytham as the final boss, He's the string-puller.
I disagree. Lee in the beginning went to save Connors home but he couldnt find it in time to stop Washingtons order during french and indian war.
Lee didn't give two shits about Connor's village. He just wanted the land protected so that the Templars could excavate it and look for the Grand Temple. It's ironic that after Rogue came out, that Haytham was made aware that Apples of Eden existed, and with his intellect should have known that he had already found the door to the Temple, The circular hole in the wall should have let him know that he needed an Apple and he wouldn't have even bothered having Johnson try to buy Connor's land illegally. So basically Rogue retconned AC3 quite a bit. I mean Shay had high tech weapons 20 years prior to Connor, and Connor didn't have shit other than his plain arrows and a few poison darts.
that is true but his mission was also to save the village. he gave the people what they wanted war against colonials
well Lee was his legacy in a way. if Connor joined the Templars im pretty sure Haytham wouldnt really care about Connor killing Lee since he really wanted to do it but he probably would try to talk him out of doing it one more time. he had Connor who is his son so he didnt need Lee anymore. even tho Lee gets stuff done so does Connor which means Haytham doesnt have to worry about the Templars.
the conversations between Connor and his father were amazingly filled with emotion and itneresting ideas
I love how direct and open they react against each other
That first cutscene was intense. Really glad they chose the Native/European-Native angle instead of Colonist/British with their main character and the overall narrative presentation, it made the story wayyy more engaging and interesting both in general and personally to an American like myself either currently or when I was in middle school first playing this.
Everyone seem to be mad at Connor but you gotta remember that his current mentor, his father figure for years before Haythom, is urging him to end all of the Template, especially Haytham. Achilles has that affect.
I'm sorry, connor speaking mohawk is so freaking comforting. For such a hard character, his voice is very soothing.
I love it when Connor gets pissed off, his delivery is great.
Connor is still my favorite Assassin, but here I can see that his anger got the better of him here. Haytham was still willing to help him, but Connor was very quick to assume he was hiding the truth from him. I think it was this event that caused Haytham decide that his son had to die.
Assassin’s Creed 3 is like the “Phantom Pain” of the Assassin’s creed series. Not only is it underrated, but it could have been so much more and would have remembered for years to come, if only Ubisoft had taken the time to actually fully flesh out the game instead of chasing this annual release schedule.
There are so many moments, character dialogues and plot points that shine; so many glimmers of greatness, but ultimately, the rest of the experience just couldn’t hold up because of Ubisoft not wanting to wait too long, and not pour more resources to make this a phenomenal game.
Still, it is probably the last game before AC truly went to shit.
This is just sad, Connor learned, that it was not Lee that burned down his village, and that it was Washington. His father already knew it and didn't tell him earlier, and Connor was forced to kill his friend. Really sad mission, and honestly, Connor's story is just underrated.
Imagine Ubisoft make Assassins' Creed Down Under where an Aboriginal Australian assassin whom I'll name Djarrjuntjun might have a similar past like Connor, hailed from West Australia. Then Connor (in Achilles' robes) joins Djarrjuntjun and Arno in the fight against James Cook and the templars who seek to colonise Australia.
There will be iconic Red Rock, Sydney, Adelaide, Swan River Colony (now called Perth), Van Dieman's Land (now called Tasmania) and Canberra.

Connor is such a badass.
Connor is my absolute favorite.. Idk why i cried watching this
I used to think this game wasn't as good but I'm older now and now I see what this game was about. Connor was dealt a bad hand from his childhood to adulthood.
The most realistic sorry AC has ever had. Connor was and is my favourite.
One question. Why did Haytham keep this information from Conner in the first place? Why not just tell him the truth about Washington's actions from the beginning? Had he come to Conner with the truth right away, he just might have earned his trust. Why did he sit on this information?
Argonian Ale It just doesn't make any sense though. Haytham had no reason to protect Washington's secrets. He spent most of the game trying to discredit him and he spent all his time with Conner trying to convince Conner that Washington was untrustworthy. If anything it would have made more sense for Haytham to come to Conner with this information from the start. He would have succeeded in earning his son's trust and would have also robbed Washington of one of his strongest supporters. The Conner and Haytham interactions were usually the best written parts of the whole game but this was just bad.
True
***** That's another reason why I think Haytham should have come to Conner with this information right away. The way I see it if Haytham had told Conner about Washington's betrayal right away two things could have happened. If Conner decided to trust Haytham, then the two of them could have worked together to stop the attack, thus strengthening their bond and making Conner easier to turn to the Templar cause. Another possibility is that Conner chooses to believe that Haytham is lying and decides to ignore his warning.Conner would of course realize Haytham was telling the truth when the attack actually took place. The destruction of his village would have caused Conner to lose faith in Washington, while simultaneously strengthening his trust in Haytham. He would have seen that his father was only trying to help him and would be more trusting of Haytham in the future. Both of these scenarios would have provided Haytham ample opportunity to turn Conner over to his way of thinking, but by waiting to reveal this information all Haytham did was make Conner question his motives. It became too obvious that Haytham was simply trying to use Conners feelings to get him to change sides. Conner realizes this and loses faith in Haytham as a result, so by keeping this information secret Haytham destroyed any chance he had of turning his son over to the Templars.
***** I don't really see how. It seems like saying it at that moment only eliminated opportunities for Conner to become a templar. Haytham would have had a better chance if he had shared what he knew from the beginning.
Haytham was trying to make Connor break his alliance with Washington and join the Templar cause... But Washington never gave the order but he did know about it and allowed the event to happen.
Man i completed this game 2 times 100% and 3 times the story. And I still enjoy it
funny how i started playing ac3 remastered on my ps4 & randomly all these videos are being recommended none stop
Such a well written game, there’ll come a
day in the future when people will sober up from their Ezio hangover (no offence to Ezio, my fav as well), and will realise the kenway saga to be a top tier AC game. for me this is peak AC, Connor starting with nothing but a crippled mentor and restoring the Creed by himself. Connor for me is the best assassin second only to Ezio and Altair. He’s his own man; not an Ezio clone. He has his own personality.
I love this game for its realisim.
Conner is a FAR more true american than the founding fathers of america
This game has such a fucked up ending for Connor
I love Connor and his story. Ac3 will forever be my favorite game.
When haytham say " son " that hit me hard for some reason
Conner thinks Georgie Washington is bad wait till he meets Andrew Jackson xD
I can only imagine what connor would say if he meet Trump.
@@michelveilleux1275 So connor was it?Ehh we are thinking about building a giant wall around Americ-
WHAT???!!!
Haha yeah you see-
*Connor leaves
@@utoresa5193
While Connor leaves almost sadly, his assassin recruits and his daughter assassinate Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Kamala, AIPAC, NSA, CIA, ADL, Hadassah, Hollywood, Disney and those in House of Senate
I still can't believe people thought Connor had no personality, like did they somehow skip this scene? There were several moments like this in the game where Connor's emotion just sent chills down my spine, was fucking awesome, he is definitely the most badass and convicted Assassin yet
When Connor said “ or am I to believe you came across this information now” I was like speak the truth big bro
for the first time since I got an account on this site, the recommended section has led me to a video that was completely unrelated to what I was watching and awesome (no weirdness!).
I think my day's gonna get ALOT better.....

Bonus Objective:
*the floor is lava*
I hope this game becomes backwards compatible
Rift Gaming9958 yeah! lol I've been playing it for the past two days xD
Well, you're in luck, it is
RockStarWolf I liked your comment only cuz I laughed my ass off with your typo lol
It's going to be remastered and due for release in March 2019.
Yeah that sounds epic doesn’t it. Let’s hope it comes out for the ps5! Looking forward to them all being backward compatible. It doesn’t matter whether they get enhanced/remastered, or remain with the same graphics, I’ll just be glad to play them again
That patting after his friend's death was emotional.
good to know someone listens to reason,oh,and cougars
The kenways are too badass
Oof I've got to replay this game. By far my favorite AC
I like what this game does with having all spoken languages actually heard as they would be.
I wish there was a way to do that for the previous games. I feel like it would be more accurate to the Animus to just tap into the memories of the ancestor knowing that language than it would be to translate it all in real time.
This sequence was the most emotional for me. First, he gets betrayed by the man he's been working with. Then he leaves his father when he was so close to building am alliance with him and maybe, MAYBE, starting over as son and father. The he has no choice but to kill his childhood friend. My heart ached for Connor so much
