Assassin's Creed III is the fifth main entry and the third numbered entry in the Assassin's Creed series. The game skips a few hundred years and takes us to The American Revolution by way of the French and Indian War as a half-English/half-Native American Assassin named Ratohnhaké:ton, a.k.a. Connor Kenway, and was released on October 30, 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (Xbox One via backward compatibility), Wii U and PC in conjunction with a PS Vita exclusive, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation (which later became available on PSN and XBLA in early 2014).Born to a Native American woman and a British man, Connor spends his early years in a Mohawk village on the American frontier. His village is soon attacked and burnt down. Believing the Templars responsible, he becomes an Assassin and joins the fight against them, only to be caught up in the Revolution. He fights alongside historical figures such as George Washington while using the cover of the war to seek out his targets. Meanwhile, in 2012, Desmond Miles and the modern Assassins plumb Connor's memories for clues to unlocking the Grand Temple, which offers the last hope of saving the world from impending destruction.Assassin's Creed III brings an overhaul to the franchise, including a completely new graphics and gameplay engine that allows for fluid free-running through natural environments. Weather plays a significant role, as the game takes place over all four seasons, with strong emphasis on the harsh winter environments of upstate New York. In addition, the game features a naval combat system wherein Connor can take command of a ship and engage British and pirate vessels on the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.The multiplayer section of the game has also evolved, moving from the internal training of Templar agents in Abstergo facilities via the Bleeding Effect to being an actual product of Abstergo Entertainment, aimed at the mass market and "based on real memories of real history". Our old friend Erudito is back, however, hacking the program as the players play it, and revealing that everything the "game" shows is twisted to fit the Templar purposes.Ubisoft released a DLC for Assassin's Creed III titled The Tyranny of King Washington, spread over three parts. It follows Connor as he wakes up in an Alternate History where George Washington found an Apple of Eden, went crazy, and took control of the United States, declaring himself king. Tropes for it go at the bottom of the page.There is also a tie-in novel called Assassin's Creed : Forsaken, which isn't focused on Connor, but instead his father Haytham.For official trailers, gameplay, and promotional videos, go here.Followed up by 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which vastly expanded upon the naval combat system introduced in AC III, and with a new historical player character (Edward Kenway, Connor's grandfather). Subsequently in 2014, there was the Interquel Assassin's Creed Rogue, which revisits the Prolonged Prologue set in the Seven Years' War as well as subplots and characters such as Haytham and Achilles.The Remastered Edition of this game, its DLC and Liberation were included in the Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Season Pass, as well as seeing a standalone launch on Steam and Uplay in 2019.This page assumes that you have played the first four games of the franchise. All spoilers for those four works will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!

A Form You Are Comfortable With: During Connor's Crystal Ball Samba, Juno deliberately gives Connor the form of an eagle because of its relevance to Native culture, as well as its association with the Assassins, especially the line of Altaïr.

Dashed Plot Line: The game covers the lives of two protagonists, and as such there are several massive time jumps to account for the second one, Connor, to grow up and complete his Assassin training, in addition to the typical skips of months between memory sequences.

Suplex Finisher
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_110439d6
comment
All of Connor's (and by extension, Desmond's) unarmed finishers will never kill his opponents, as they merely moan and writhe on the floor afterwards. Considering his high-profile behind attack is a Suplex Finisher that breaks the victim's spine, and one open combat finisher involves forcing an opponent to his hands and knees, then curb-stomping his neck, it becomes downright impossible for his opponents to not be dead. At the same time, a halfhearted kick to the leg of the same guy who survived his neck being broken will kill him dead.

The Artifact: Cleverly subverted. Due to the remaster's larger amount of outfits, the Davenport manor basement now has a wardrobe that opens a list of all the outfits when used. However, the old outfit wall is still used to display the outfits of the franchise's other playable assassins once you obtain them.

Multinational Team
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_14848fa3
comment
Multinational Team: Most of the American Assassins are not part of the typical English immigrants who came to the New World. By the end of the 18th century the Assassins consist of (at a minimum) a British-Native American outcast (Connor Kenway), an Afro-Caribbean old guy (Achilles Davenport), a French-Canadian rabble-rouser (Stephane Chapheau), an Irishman (Duncan Little), a former Hessian German mercenary (Jacob Zenger), a Scot (Jamie Colley), an African ex-slave (Agate), and an Afro-French noble (Avéline de Grandpre). There's a frontier sharpshooter (Clipper Wilkinson) and a tomboyish girl (Dobby Carter) to make sure that the trope is not completely played against the stereotype, though. In the same way, the colonies as a whole are realistically portrayed as the multiracial, multicultural, multilingual hodgepodge they were. Though the English language would have sounded more like a slightly German-English version of Yosemite Sam than the modern dialect we hear in the game, the German shopkeepers, Dutch bystanders, indigenous warriors, and French workers were part and parcel of Colonial life.

For the first 3 sequences you play as Haytham Kenway, an assassin who is sent to Colonial America on behalf of his order. After spending the first act recruiting allies and assassinating a few ponces, it's revealed that Haytham is actually an Assassin who defected to the Templars, and you've just built the entire Templar Order you'll spend the rest of the game dismantling as his son, Connor.

Rescue Romance: Kaniehtí:io defies this trope; while Haytham Kenway does indeed rescue her and a number of her people from enslavement (or worse) at the hands of a British thug, she refuses to trust him until he accepts her as an equal and fights on her side.

comment
Darker and Edgier: To the franchise as whole: The Ezio games are Lighter and Softer despite the high body count and Trauma Conga Line undergone by Ezio. Also, both Altair and Ezio have the luxury of definite victories since they belong to cultures which are stable and near their peak, whereas for Connor, his goal of trying to protect his village, and by extension halting the spread of the American frontier, can only lead to Failure Is the Only Option which makes his game feel very grim and dark and with a real sense of Pyrrhic Victory in his hunt against the Templars. His ethnicity and mentions of Sam Adams's slave Surry also emphasize how hollow the Patriots' espoused freedom really is as the likes of him and Achilles are still not entirely free. The overall Gray-and-Gray Morality of the Assassins vs Templars conflict and the theme of compromise makes this overall a sadder and more grim experience reinforced by the dark conclusion of the present day story when Desmond finds that his destiny is to merely enable the return of an Eldritch Abomination and he has to make another compromise, at the risk of his life.

Backstory Horror: Invoked in the multiplayer mode, which is marketed as a This Is Reality version of the Animus Database that allows people to relive the past. As the player levels up, they unlock cheesy, happy-go-lucky meta-commercials promoting it; completing difficult challenges, however, unlocks hacked versions, which contain "Erudito" pointing out true motives, hired actors, careful marketing and blatant lies to hide the truths about it.

Connor survives but suffers from occasional pain as a result of the wound.

Punctuation Shaker
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_17e530e1
comment
Punctuation Shaker: There's a case that's grounded in reality. The protagonist, a Native American, is named Ratonhnhaké:ton—it's pronounced along the lines of RA-doon-ha-GAY-doon, not ra-TONE-ha-KAY-ton, which is acknowledged by the character and his people obvioulsy pronouncing it correctly while a contempoary-period chaacter in the immediate sequel completely butchers it. This is a name based on the Kanien'kéha aka Mohawk language, and the punctuation shaker comes as a result of transcription methods doing this to a lot of First Nation languages. In the story, he's given the name Connor by his mentor Achilles both because of the issues between colonials and natives, and so others can refer to him easily without needing to figure out another language.

The Overworld: After variations (including one aversion) were seen in II and its sequels, a "true" overworld separate from the cities finally returns in the form of the Frontier, set in New England. This region links to real-world cities Boston and New York and to the fictional Davenport Homestead. Through harbormasters, Connor can also travel to smaller areas throughout North America, as far south as Jamaica and Martinique and all the way up to the Northwest Passage.

Never Trust a Trailer: An interesting example, where the developers have stated in every interview that the more jingoistic commercials for Assassin's Creed III were a huge pile of Blatant Lies, probably anticipating the backlash from non-American fans of the series. Turns out the developers were right. In a smaller example, in a media preview of Sequence 6, one cutscene showed the then-unnamed Kanen'tó:kon prominently and implied that he was Achilles. While it is an actual cutscene from the game, the real Achilles' lines were removed. The "Yet you fight. You resist. Why?" dialogue is in Achilles' voice in one trailer. It is said by Charles Lee in the game.

comment
Poor Communication Kills: The game is a massive Gambit Pileup that comes because nobody clearly explains themselves. Connor assassinates Templars who claim to be doing good but whose Jerkish attitudes and arrogant refusal to explain it to people lesser than them, results in them dying painfully. Connor and his own father, Haytham are too proud to truly express themselves and in the end nobody wins, with the hero getting a Pyrrhic Victory that he admits is "not enough".

Ambiguous Situation

comment
Ambiguous Situation: Connor is convinced that Washington's becoming a tyrannical king is because of his coming under the Apple's spell. Washington, when the idea is presented to him, claims that he is in his right mind, but admits that he never considered the Apple might be controlling him. Unlike the others, he never "wakes up" from the control, and shortly after the vision ends he reaches for his sword as if to continue fighting Connor. However, he immediately relents and firmly rejects a man's proposal that he be crowned king, leaving it unclear whether he was controlled or just wrapped up in his power and realizing how bad he had become only after the fact.

Regenerating Health: Connor's health regenerates spontaneously, like in Assassin's Creed (no medicine). It regenerates very quickly out of combat, and at a much slower rate in combat. If you absolutely must, it is possible to break out of a fight and run around in circles or climb a tree until your health meter fills enough for you to continue.

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_208c4494
comment
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: This DLC is all about this, under the premise of Washington obtaining an Apple and using it to declare himself King of the United States. He rules with an iron fist, mind-controls his advisers and generals, and orders the bluecoats to destroy the Frontier when Connor's mother tries to steal the Apple. He then commissions a giant royal palace in New York that looks like a Mayincatec pyramid. In a big speech in the third episode, he announces that he is planning on raising a huge army and building a huge fleet in order to defeat and enslave England. It's also hinted at some points that Connor is becoming corrupted by the powers of the Great Willow Tea. Aside from him becoming tattooed and getting bear-like and blue Black Eyes of Crazy, he talks about replacing King Washington with a new leader, rather than the "power to the people" ideal that the rebels and he himself used to speak of. King Washington himself lampshades this by asking Connor if he would use the power of the Apple to control the people, and Connor visibly struggles to answer. It's also hinted earlier, where Connor and Thomas Jefferson discuss the future with Connor noting that after they take down King Washington the people will need a new leader, the tone essentially becoming very sinister, which Jefferson picks up on and calls him out on.

Crapsack World: The relatively peaceful Frontier from the main story has become a frozen near-wasteland.

Boston and New York aren't any better off, considering how many civilians are being executed or caged up all over both cities, plus the massively increased number of trigger-happy guards and the presence of wolves on the outskirts.

Not in This for Your Revolution: Connor's motivation is to save his people and preserve their land, and he becomes an Assassin to that end. The American Revolution is more of a sidequest to him, and he sides with the Patriots because he believes that they will help him find and defeat the Templars who attacked his village. When he discovers that George Washington ordered the attack, all bets are offnote though he "settles" for abandoning Washington and the American Revolution, though he leaves a parting threat that if Washington or Haytham Kenway try to follow him, much less stop him, he will kill them.

Failure Is the Only Option: Connor's relative naivete and earnestness, his anger issues and many other flaws only reinforces the fact that he's doomed to fail to protect his village and halting the spread of the frontier. His victories, turning the Homestead into a proper community, rebuilding the Aquila, seem very hollow in comparison, at least for him. And so is his hope for the goal of resolving, even temporarily, the Templar-Assassin conflict in service of the greater good and forming a bond with his father Haytham.

Captain Ethnic / Captain Patriotic: Connor is essentially a Revolutionary War version of these tropes. He's a mixed race Native American from the Mohawk tribe who works with the Patriots to achieve the independence of the Thirteen Colonies from Britain. He's also deeply loyal to his new country despite it's shortcomings and his Assassin robe is red, white and blue which are national colors of the United States not to mention that his preferred weapons are a tomahawk and a bow with arrows which are deeply rooted in many indigenous cultures. Additionally, his original outfit is Braids, Beads and Buckskins and his Brotherhood attire later incorporates the typical Mohawk haircut and red makeup when he confronts Charles Lee near the end of the American Revolution.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: With the crafting system, prices go up with each craft in one session*2 crafts at the base price of 25 pounds per artisan, then every additional craft involving the same artisan(s) raises the price by 25 pounds.. This is aimed to stop you from crafting enough to start drowning in money in one sitting, but this tends to result in nails, apple pies and wooden barrels somehow costing hundreds of pounds to create.

This DLC is all about this, under the premise of Washington obtaining an Apple and using it to declare himself King of the United States. He rules with an iron fist, mind-controls his advisers and generals, and orders the bluecoats to destroy the Frontier when Connor's mother tries to steal the Apple. He then commissions a giant royal palace in New York that looks like a Mayincatec pyramid. In a big speech in the third episode, he announces that he is planning on raising a huge army and building a huge fleet in order to defeat and enslave England.

Limit Break: These are what kill chains are for. As you kill more and avoid any damage, you can start just murderizing more advanced enemies in one stroke, with each kill getting flashier than before. You get to the point where you can kill Grenadiers in one strike, who are normally immune to combos. Possible in the "Wolfpack" co-op mode through sync-kills; meeting difficult circumstances with 2+ players prompts a Finishing Move wherein the players quickly dispatch a group in style through coordinated flips, weapon juggling, and dodging.

Ax-Crazy: The Apple seems to have had an especially bad effect on Israel Putnam who has a constant look of craziness in his eyes. There's also a bit from King Washington in the second episode where, seeing that Ratonhnhaké:ton has been captured after surviving the fight at the Mohawk village before, he orders that Connor be executed the following day. He then adds on that a score of civilians will also be executed, picked out at random, "as an example." It's implied that this happens regularly.

Deconstructor Fleet: The game gives a Warts and All depiction of The American Revolution, showing what happened to people who didn't profit from the movement. And both in the present and modern stories, the game also deconstructs the Assassins vs. Templars conflict. The historical portion shows the Assassins and Templars briefly united by a common purpose as well as familial bonds while at the end of the contemporary storyline, Minerva tells the contemporary Assassins that they wasted the whole of history fighting the Templars instead of working to the common good.

History tells us that the American rebel forces had a notoriously hard time getting matching and functional uniforms for themselves. However, since it is not very easy and not very fun to attempt to ID which badly-dressed NPCs in a sea of them are going to be hostile to the player without help, every squad of Patriots is identically, immaculately dressed.

Ramming Always Works: In the third episode, the Aquila engages in an uneven battle against Washington's fleet near New York. Despite the fact that you can curb stomp them, a lucky hit destroys the ship's cannons, so Connor orders everyone off the ship and goes at full sail towards a man-o'-war blocking the harbor. The collision sets off the man-o'-war's powder reserves, resulting in both ships exploding spectacularly.

Game-Breaking Bug: Episode 1 has a serious one that was never patched. In some games, completing (or even activating) any side activities before finishing the main missions caused the final main mission to become Unintentionally Unwinnable, as the enemies the player is supposed to intertact with in the mission's first objective do not appear. The only known solution is to delete the save file containing the glitch and, in severe cases, reinstall the entire game.

comment
Super Drowning Skills: Both protagonists appear to be the only characters ever to learn this skill. Anyone else who ventures past waist deep plunges under the surface like they have legs made of lead weights and die instantly. This MIGHT be acceptable for soldiers, who are carrying heavy packs and weapons, but if you nudge a fisherman who is dressed in light clothing and is only carrying a fishing rod? Same thing. Amusingly, this panics any other people in the area, who flee the waterfront as they apparently realize just how close to instant death they are. As a bonus, you get no penalty or warning for shoving people to their watery graves, unlike the threats of desyncronization that come if you outright shoot them. Just like with Revelations, apprentices are immune to this, merely despawning instead of dying.

Hammerspace: The remaster alters the weapon wheel to hold all weapon types in it at all timesnote In the original version, some weapon types were mutually exclusive, for example equipping a knife replaced tomahawks in the wheel and the icons now double as folders that hold all of Connor's weapon collection. So Connor may be walking around New York hiding several axes, hammers, swords, pistols and tomahawks under his robes.

 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_35934e0e
comment
Staged Populist Uprising: The Templars believed that the American Revolution would be an opportunity for them to start their ideal benevolent-control society from the ground up. So they fomented events such as the Boston Massacre to spark unrest so that they can negotiate a peace settlement either for devolution or full independence. From their highly biased perspective, Connor messed things up and made it a real revolution which quickly went out of control for both Assassins and Templars. Haytham also states that their attempt to direct the revolution isn't so different from the Continental Congress who promise freedom while owning slaves, claim to represent the people when they form at best a highly privileged Vocal Minority. In his mind, the only difference is At Least I Admit It. In Assassin's Creed Rogue, a dying Charles Dorian mocks Shay for the fact that Connor ruined the Templars' plans for co-opting the American Revolution. Shay counters that the Templars will try again in France.

Boring, but Practical
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The game sports a revamped system for recruiting Assassins and sending them on missions for money as well as an interesting trade system where you have people who live on your homestead provide different goods to sell for profit... but odds are, you'll just stick to hunting for treasure chests in towns for profit, since finding them earns you more money than you'll need in the main game. Even if you do wish to get money by trading, you're better off selling the furs you get from hunting rather than doing any crafting. Also, regarding the new Assassin training system, the introduction of the new abilities means that in order to level them up faster, you're supposed to rely more on using those abilities rather than sending them off to time-consuming but not-so-rewarding missions (a 10-minute mission earns a 60-XP reward, while simply using an Assassin to kill one guard yields about 40 XP and can be repeated after less than 30 seconds).

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_39d96ba9

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Downplayed, but used as a warning by Connor Kenway, a Native American living during the American Revolution; after discovering that George Washington, whom Connor knew personally and highly respected, was not only condoning acts of genocide against Native American tribes (including Connor's own), but had actually taken part in them personally in the past, making him indirectly connected to the atrocity that killed Connor's mother and ruined his childhood, Connor is understandably pissed. Having been on the Colonist's side during the Revolution up to this point, Connor proceeds to help one last time, then bitterly tells Washington that this is the last battle he will win for him. From then on, Connor remains unaffiliated with either side during the rest of the war, outside of hunting the Templars.

Reality Warper: Human minds, when coupled with the Pieces of Eden, can alter reality if enough of them are enthralled at once. The First Civilization attempted to use this to prevent the solar flare from destroying them, but they couldn't control enough minds at once to generate the effect on the scale they needed to prevent annihilation. The narrative teases players by hinting that this is what Abstergo might be attempting, but it turns out that Desmond got a vision of the future showing that it would fail.

Warts and All
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_3bfd638c
comment
The development team went above and beyond the norm for historical events, showing the political figures Warts and All and even hiring consultants so they could accurately portray life in a Mohawk village. This includes never actually using the term "Mohawk" to refer to the culture, other than a codex entry explaining the history of the term. It was clear that the developers put a great deal of effort into creating a proper non-cliched portrayal of Native Americans, specifically in this case, the Mohawk Nation. A way into development, the team even realized that they would need help and actually brought on a member of the Nation onboard to serve as a cultural consultant to make sure they got all the details right. Much of Connor's character; especially in how he presents and handles himself are rooted in this research. It's Kanien'kehá:ka all the way.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: One of the trailers shows a battle during The American Revolution, which seems to be a curb-stomp for the redcoats (led by a Templar). Then Connor shows up, "borrows" a horse, gets it shot out from under him, hides behind some rocks as another volley of musket balls head his way, runs out while the troops are reloading, jumps into the ranks, and the slaughter starts. Even the elite Highlanders can't stop him. The fleeing Americans see the commotion and charge back into the fray, helping Connor with some well-placed cannon fire. Connor kills the Templar general, hitting him with an arrow and then finishing him off with a tomahawk, and disappears. The British are in utter disarray and are quickly routed.

Cast of Snowflakes: In sharp contrast to the earlier games as well as the follow-ups - Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, the game has several unique NPCs outside the main fictional and historical characters. Every settler of the Homestead and all of the Assassin recruits have a distinct model and unique animations. The Encylopedia of Common Man side-mission has you follow and trace every unique animation coded into the NPCs at the Homestead and there are several varieties.

Deus ex Machina: The proposed salvation of the Earth plays to the original usage of the term, as it is quite literally a god intervening to stop the Sun from wiping out humanity. It is also literally a god emerging from a machine. The assault on Abstergo is resolved only by Desmond's use of the Apple, a plot point that is foreshadowed in such a way that one can easily miss it.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The game takes place during The American Revolution. The protagonist is a young half-Mohawk raised by his mother's tribe. However, he and most Americans sound like modern-day Americans instead of period-appropriate accents. It's likely this is also the work of the Animus. Interestingly, the original game has Mohawk characters speak in their native language, while the Alternate History DLC goes with Translation Convention instead.

Xanatos Speed Chess: The Templars have to hastily recalculate to try and salvage their plans, which Connor keeps screwing up. They fail, and since their goals were protecting Native American land (so they can obtain it for themselves to find and secure the Grand Temple) and organising a peaceful resolution to the conflict, it's safe to assume that Connor has made matters quite a bit worse. Achilles plays too, but is at a disadvantage because the Assassins have deteriorated so much.

Magical Native American: Whereas the base game only plays with the trope, this DLC plays this straight with the abilities granted by the Great Willow tea. However, since it's not clear if Connor is dreaming all this, this may just be a figment of his imagination, especially since the Great Willow is not there in the "normal" reality. So far, Connor can: Become invisible in plain sight (he can run up to a guy, kill him, run away, and everyone will just wonder what happened to the guy who collapses) and summon a pack of spirit wolves to attack nearby enemies. The first ability is Cast From Hitpoints. Turn into an eagle and fly to any ledge or rooftop or person (for assassination). This ability is also Cast From Hitpoints. Ground Pound as a bear, killing anyone in the immediate area and damaging certain objects.

Creator In-Joke: The inn at the Homestead is called the Mile's End. You'd have to be very familiar with Montreal and the location of the Ubisoft Montreal studio to know that it's located in a neighborhood called... the Mile-End. Also, Foreshadowing to Desmond's death at the end.

Desmond's story is resolved in the most conclusive way possible, and the destruction of the world is averted, but in the process Juno is freed. Now it's time to conquer Earth. According to Juno, Connor's story isn't over.

Hanging Around: Connor at one point finds himself framed for an assassination attempt of George Washington and sentenced summarily to death by hanging. The player can control him during his walk to the gallows, and the camera will even show the obscuring of his vision when the hangman places the bag over his head. Fortunately, one of Connor’s allies is there to cut the rope for him after the drop, so he can go after his real target: Thomas Hickey, the very man who’d framed him.

Desmond visits the Big Apple for a story mission. After almost falling off a tall building, Shaun tells him to hold position because of the view of the city's night skyline. Desmond is rather annoyed by this. Amusingly, data from Desmond's phone — which you can find through hacking computers in the sequel — includes a picture he took of himself with that same view as the background.

For Connor. The Apple and the sky-journeys offer him a sense of power and command that gives him quite a high after his Break the Cutie in the main game and he is seriously tempted to take the Apple and use it for his own means. He turns it down, of course.

Artificial Atmospheric Actions: Citizens in the cities and the Frontier settlements are programmed with a wide variety of activities and conversations to help the game feel more alive. Animals have routines that they perform, and you may see elk antler-wrestling or a pack of wolves bringing down prey. One achievement involves witnessing an animal attacking a human. An entire sidequest is devoted to examining the actions of your Homestead residents. You have to follow everyone in every profession and focus your crosshairs on them when they are cleaning animals they've killed, repairing wooden structures, making ales, and so on.

You Are Too Late: In the ending, Minerva states that the Assassins and Templars could have saved humanity had they only found the Grand Temple a few hundred years earlier and not spent all their time fighting with each other. It was her original plan that humans perfect the technology that the First Civilization left behind. Instead, Juno manipulated history in such a way that the only remaining choice is to free her or let the world burn.

Downer Ending
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: At the beginning of the game, when your targets call you naïve when you're about to kill them, Connor scoffs them off. By the end, it all makes sense because it is revealed many of the Templars are WellIntentionedExtremists, like John Pitcairn. He knew that a war would result in colonists getting killed and thus was tried his best to parley and prevent a Revolutionary War from being triggered. Killing him didn't just stop the Templars, it also signed the death sentence for many fellow colonists and soldiers. William Johnson was convinced that the currently amicable colonists would turn on the Natives once they were finished with the British, hence why he threatened the Mohawk chiefs to accept Templar control. Seeing him call Connor's naivete out is gut-wrenching, especially if you know what happens to the Natives once Americans began going West. The Templars' accusation of naïvete suddenly makes sense. And if you choose to do the homestead missions, Achilles dies. It's bitter to say the least.

Mirroring Factions
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_4f6cf75
comment
Mirroring Factions: A major theme of the DLC. While the Redcoats were the Designated Villains of the vanilla game and the rebels were the de facto "good guys", the roles are switched for the DLC. It even goes so far as renaming the Redcoats to the rebels and the former rebels to Bluecoats. Also, in numerous ways the Bluecoats are actually worse; they carry out executions far more often and frequently cart around captives. Also applicable to major characters; under the influence of the Apple, allies in the vanilla game (e.g. Putnam and Franklin) become villains in the DLC. Averted for Samuel Adams, who is a good guy in both alternative histories. It's justified in that Samuel Adams was always against centralized government having too much power. Historically, he was one of the loudest critics of the Constitution and vehemently opposed the creation of a central government. In the final Boss Fight, King Washington notes this about Connor, wondering if he also covets the same power. Connor, in the King's words, never answers the question. Connor himself seems to get addicted to the power of the sky-journeys and becomes unstable and crazy as the story goes along.

Desmond wields a combat knife alongside his Hidden Blade during his one man assault on Abstergo HQ.

Motive Decay: Mentioned in-universe about the Assassins. While in Ezio's trilogy, it seemed the Templars had fallen from their original goal of benevolent control of mankind to simply wanting power for selfish motivations, it wasn't really pointed out that the Assassins weren't the lighter shade of grey they had been in Altair's time. Now with plenty of Sympathy for the Devil towards the Templars, the Assassins' fall from grace really gets highlighted. While Connor's enemies do most of the ranting about this, Rebecca has a conversation with Desmond in which she laments that it feels like killing people and nothing else is all the Assassins ever do. To be fair, Connor himself angrily calls Achilles out on this.

At one point, he even visits the Animus 1.0 room where he was kept during the duration of the first game.

Guns Akimbo: Connor can wield dual pistols. Justified, as before the invention of internal magazines, pistols were limited to one shot per barrel before they had to reload, which was a rather involved process, so for those with the means it was often a good idea to carry more than one. That was the only realistic way to sequentially fire several shots without pausing to reload in the middle of combat.

Le Parkour: As the setting lacks the tall urban environments of the previous games, this game adds "tree-running" to the Assassin skill set. As trees are not typically shaped in right-angle boxes like buildings, programming this was a new hurdle for Ubisoft and it's the reason their main team worked on Assassin's Creed III' for three years while Ezio's games were developed with the older Assassin's Creed II engine.

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Connor/Ratohnhaké:ton awakens believing the year is 1799 with all the information from his own timeline. He is completely flummoxed at how everyone around him has changed, and even cuts off his now-alive mother when she tries to reveal that Haytham was a Templar (or possibly an Assassin in this timeline) and offer his hidden blades - as Connor already knows. Becomes a plot point when Connor gets his "revenge" on Benedict Arnold, a Karma Houdini from the main story. However, in this timeline he never betrayed West Point or defected to the British, so he has no idea what Connor is talking about, and begs him to stop Washington.

The markings on the floor of the Animus room left by Subject 16 are icing on the cake (although they do not exactly match their locations in the first game).

 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_58a7bebb
comment
Grapple Move: Connor faces firearm wielding enemies. Their attacks are always telegraphed so that you have the opportunity to grapple a hapless nearby opponent as a Human Shield, protecting you from harm and getting rid of the enemy in one stroke. This can be particularly useful for more powerful enemies who would otherwise take more work to defeat.

Not Himself: Everyone serving under Washington, as well as Washington himself, due to the Apple. When they are freed of its influence, they are horrified by the actions they have committed. Benjamin Franklin is the only one lucky enough to be free and still be alive. It's also interesting to note that with his dying breaths King Washington does not express remorse like the others but rather grasps for the Apple and dies on his throne.

You Cannot Kill An Idea: Exaggerated by Haytham Kenway when fighting Connor; while the Assassins are literally born of lifetimes of discipline and self-study, the Templars grow like weeds no matter what the Assassins do because Evil Is Easy and Evil Pays Better. The Templars are even more resilient than the Assassins because they're not even an idea — they're the absence of one.

The Conspiracy: This time it's not limited to the Templars anymore. The game's climax reveals that Juno has been manipulating humanity from before recorded history so that she could blackmail Desmond into bringing her back to rule over humanity. To this end, she did this entirely through prerecorded messages left where certain people would find them. And she did it without the entirely benevolent first civilization conspirators noticing.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Somewhat downplayed. The opening cutscene spoils the major details of the overarching plot (ancient civilization, Abstergo = Templars, planet about to get fried by the Sun, etc) but it actually avoids the major spoilers of the individual games. For example, Cesare Borgia is shown as the leader of the Templars, probably because he's the only Big Bad whose identity isn't a spoiler.

comment
Nintendo Hard: The game is perhaps the most difficult in the entire series to date. Particularly difficult segments include: The minigames. With the possible exception of bocce and checkers, many of the strategic boardgames have maddeningly difficult AI that's very unforgiving. One mistake can easily spell the foregone conclusion of a loss or draw, most notably in Fanorona where bad positioning can have your opponent perform up to five or six moves in a row to devastate your numbers. The optional objectives can range from readily achievable to noticeably more difficult than the base objectivenote for example, you could just burst in and kill John Pitcairn... or you could do what Connor did, which was to take a longer winding route through foliage around the encampment, ascend through two different trees, then hop off of a branch onto the top of a flagpole and from there onto Pitcairn! to borderline random; fortunately, your prior optional objective progress for that mission is preserved even when you Reload(ing) From (the) Last Checkpoint, and doing so doesn't count against you for the purposes of the "do all of the above optional objectives in a single playthrough" optional objective.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: With elements of Mood Whiplash: It can be somewhat jarring to go from the many side and some story missions where Connor's kindness, generosity and respect for human dignity are on display in fine form in his expressions, choices, and dialogue — to usual combat gameplay, which is amazingly brutal. Finishing certain optional objectives "out of order" will trigger cutscenes wherein NPC's comment on things that haven't happened yet, or speaking of things that HAVE already happened as if they're still imminent. The optional objectives are supposed to represent the exact method that Connor completed the missions, but some of them seem to defy any kind of common sense solution for the sake of providing a good challenge.

Game-Breaking Injury
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6381b11
comment
Game-Breaking Injury: Connor suffers a Game-Breaking Injury with the final battle with Charles Lee. He chases him into a burning ship that was under construction and gets a piece of wood impaled through his stomach. Said injury disables him from even running for the rest of the game and even in the after game, his animation shows he's still injured. Our hidden-blade-equipped player characters from the period get into a fight. One receives a stab wound through his wrist and ends up being forced into fighting with just a sword. He's still formidable, but when both combatants are stunned by a nearby cannon blast and end up grappling with each other, he is forced to use both hands to try and strangle his opponent and is thus vulnerable to a throat stab. And that's how Connor killed his father Haytham.

Justified Tutorial
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_69ab6c58
comment
Justified Tutorial: The Animus provides an inherent justification for its tutorial elements, as it is explicitly teaching Desmond how to navigate the memories. Playing as an experienced character for the first three memory sequences provides ample room for the player to learn how to master all the Assassin skills. There are some missions where Haytham demonstrates his skills to characters who are not familiar with his repertoire. The introduction to tracking is shown as a young Connor playing a game of hide and seek, and the introduction to tree-running and hunting is shown as a teenage Connor teaching his friend the ropes. The introduction to naval combat is a teenage Connor learning the skills of navigating and fighting from a veteran sailor.

The Reveal
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: For the first 3 sequences you play as Haytham Kenway, an assassin who is sent to Colonial America on behalf of his order. After spending the first act recruiting allies and assassinating a few ponces, it's revealed that Haytham is actually an Assassin who defected to the Templars, and you've just built the entire Templar Order you'll spend the rest of the game dismantling as his son, Connor. The climax of Sequence 10 drops a big one: It was George Washington who ordered the destruction of Connor's village, not Charles Lee; and Washington now plans to kill the remaining survivors. This permanently severs the bonds between Connor and Washington, as well as between the former and his father (for not having told him about this information earlier, thinking that he was holding it out as an excuse to earn his trust). By the end of the sequence.

Mentor Occupational Hazard: A villanous example: Haytham dies trying to defend Charles Lee from Connor. Lee even exhibits The Hero characteristics (as in, promising to avenge him) when he meets Connor in Sequence 12. Averted with Achilles. He does die near the end of the game, but quietly and peacefully in a chair in his parlor, passing on from old age after living to see Connor become a successful Assassin and the Brotherhood beginning to rebuild in the Colonies.

The Tetris Effect: In-Universe. Due to his exposure to the Animus, Desmond's view in his sequences in Brazil and Italy includes "counter" prompts and "awareness" indicators, both of which were not visible the last time he was in a battle in the present day in Assassin's Creed II. Also, if it is not a Translation Convention, the exposure also gives him enhanced language acquisition, as he is able to understand Portuguese enough for it to be translated in subtitles as he passes people by. Essentially, the exposure since finding his Synch Nexus has had added beneficial components, while lacking the Sanity Slippage.

Mission Creep
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6ec1393a
comment
Mission Creep: Connor's general mission is to protect his village and people, but then he receives Juno's message to join the Assassins and protect the Key to the Temple. Connor took this to mean that joining the Assassins and fighting the Templars would help his people. And later, he interacted with Patriots and came to see his causes (Protect his Village, Serve as Assassin) entangled with American Independence. This taking of additional duties complicates his adventures and eventually leads him to confront his overall failure when two of those goals: American Independence and protecting his village, gets compromised by his duty as an Assassin. In the end, Connor came around to Achilles' way of thinking and realized he was too naive and burdened himself with false expectations.

Guide Dang It!
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: The game avoids this in most cases by giving the option for the player to buy an in game map for collectibles, but it still has a habit of not showing certain things, like the last chest in Boston or some of the Liberation missions. The methods for achieving 100% Completion are in many cases anything but obvious, including a number of missions and locations that don't appear on the map at all, requiring either a guide or obsessive, almost foot-by-foot exploration. There are no hints that you can counter enemies using your gun, which is unfortunate given how much more effective it is against most of those resistant to normal weapon counters.

Zero-Effort Boss: Both Daniel Cross and Charles Lee are killed without an actual fight, despite the large amount of build-up the former gets throughout the series, and the latter being the Big Bad of Connor's storyline. Justified in that Cross is prone to mental freakouts that render him unable to fight, something that's been previously established, and Lee isn't an Assassin-level fighter and knows it. The confrontation with Lee is further justified by both characters being severely injured.

The Points Mean Nothing
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_6f064059
comment
The Points Mean Nothing: In ACIII, contrasting the other games prior, completing missions grants you synchronisation points with more points being rewarded for completing side-objectives. The pause menu even shows you how many points you have out of how many points there are in the game. What do these points do? Well, in pre-release information, the developers had stated that they were meant to be used to purchase upgrades and new features for the Homestead and for Conner himself. But in the fully-released game, they amount to nothing what-so-ever, with the talked-about upgrade system scrapped but the points remaining.

Mind Screwdriver: While Revelations answered many important questions about the Meta Plot, this game contains vast amounts of exposition about the schemes of the First Civilization, including an explanation of the "six methods of salvation" described at the end of the previous game. It seems that the writers consciously try to address every single fan question that's ever arisen. In typical Ubisoft fashion, though, the end adds another layer of Mind Screw to replace the ones that the game takes off.

Godzilla Threshold: In one conversation, Rebecca suggests presenting all of the information the team has gathered to Abstergo so they can help avert the solar flare. Desmond replies that he actually considered that option, and only refrained from doing so because he believes Abstergo already knows about the threat and is trying to take advantage of it. The very idea of Assassins seriously considering working with Templars, in particular Desmond (who has been their prisoner and test subject), shows just how dire the situation is. Later, Minerva will actually encourage Desmond to allow the solar flare to wipe out most of humanity rather than set Juno loose. Juno is apparently that dangerous.

Idiot Ball: Warren Vidic kidnaps Desmond's father, and demands Desmond trade the Apple for his life.

This does not end well for anyone at Abstergo, least of all for him. Didn't Think This Through doesn't even begin to describe it.

Grey-and-Gray Morality
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_7335ffa9
comment
Grey-and-Gray Morality: Templars and Assassins fight on both sides of the war, and the relative morality of the two factions comes into play to a much greater degree than in Ezio's story. Similarly, neither the Colonials nor the British are portrayed as wholly good or evil; in the official trailer, Connor observes that the Colonials may be in it for their own freedom, but not necessarily for his. Bonus points for Washington himself ordering the destruction of Connor's village. During their "final words" scene, Connor's assassination targets tend to say something along the lines of "What have you done!? I was just trying to help! Now more people will die!", which is more in line with how they were in the first game. They seek to control, but also to protect humanity, mostly from itself, whereas the Assassins are slipping from trying to encourage people to better themselves, to doggedly harassing the Templars because they don't know how to do anything else. Connor, to his credit, is aware of this and can see both sides of the picture.

The Horseshoe Effect: Haytham Kenway's arc at the beginning of the game is played just like a regular Assassin in both plot and gameplay. The twist is revealed that the entire time he was working in the interests of the Templars, their motivations so similar to one another that neither Desmond nor the players realized this until it is flat-out stated that Haytham and his friends work for the Templars. Later in the game both factions back the Rebels in the American Revolution for their own reasons, leading to many awkward moments when Haytham and his Assassin opposite Connor are both hanging around with Washington; in one mission they outright team up.

Point of No Return: You can't access the present day missions after the end of Sequence 12. Starting the first mission of sequence 11 locks you in and prevents any exploring or side missions until the post-game epilogue.

Connor has a dual execution move that defies this trope: he can run a soldier through with the bayonet of a musket, then fire the musket at the soldier behind the first one. It is similar to one of Ezio's moves in Brotherhood, wherein he counters a soldier by blocking him, then shooting him through and killing the soldier behind him as well.

Teased with Awesome: The carpenter at the Davenport Homestead tells Connor that he found designs for Da Vinci's flying machine and has built it. Connor immediately goes to the cliff overlooking the homestead's bay, climbs onto the flying machine, leaps from the edge...and promptly flies right into the water.

Villain Decay: Cross is easily trounced by Desmond every time they meet, and is a Zero-Effort Boss when you finally get to kill him. If he isn't just taken down in one hit when he is chased in Brazil, his combat prowess and durability is about as much as the average Mooks. You'd expect better performance from someone who killed the Mentor of the Assassins and got away with it. However, William acknowledges that after 12 years, Cross is more of a symbol than an asset to Abstergo.

Handshake Refusal
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_7cc1924a
comment
Handshake Refusal: Haytham refuses to shake the hand of Louis Mills the first time they meet. No explanation is given, but it's implied to be a class issue; Haytham is a British aristocrat and Mills is a working class sailor, so Haytham probably regards a handshake as beneath him. Connor is a more justified example; he was raised among Native Americans, who consider it taboo to touch someone you don't know, so he Hates Being Touched. He turns down an offer of a handshake with John Adams, though he does grow to accept a handshake as an acceptable greeting once he's spent some time living amongst the colonists.

The less-than-appealing traits of many historical figures are also on display and/or mentioned multiple times.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: If the Templars' post-assassination words are to be believed, Connor only made the Revolutionary War worse and more deadly for all involvednote for example, John Pitcairn insists that he absolutely meant only to parley with Adams, as implausible as it may look, and before his assassination he can be overheard bemoaning the war. Furthermore, Connor siding with the Patriots despite urging his village to remain neutral and outside of the conflict backfires when his lifelong friend is convinced by Charles Lee that Connor is an enemy and is part of the impending Patriot attack on the village.

Left Hanging

Left Hanging: The "Eve" sub-plot from the end of Brotherhood seems to have been dropped, as Desmond completes his journey without it ever coming up. Then again, it turns out Juno is actually evil, so it's possible she was lying or needed to give an excuse for killing Lucy. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation addresses this at its ending — apparently Eve led the humans in the war against the Precursors. in Black Flag, Juno for some reason is helplessly trapped in Abstergo's network, only saying that "perhaps the Vault was opened too soon". Connor's ultimate fate. In Black Flag, Connor is only briefly mentioned with no new information. That mysterious voice at the very end. This is the closest one to have ever been resolved (an Abstergo tech guiding one of the company's Animus users).

The Joys of Torturing Mooks: Connor's kills are even more brutal than previous playable Assassins. Notable among his implements of murder is the rope dart, which can be used to hang enemies from trees, Predator style (it's even referred to as a Predator move in-game!), and you get an achievement for doing it. 100% Completion also requires that you perform such actions as killing enemies with every type of weapon in the game and killing a certain powerful enemy type with their own weapon.

Attack Its Weak Point: In naval combat, if you deal enough damage to the bow of a frigate-sized or larger ship, you may expose the ship's powder magazine. Shooting this with the swivel guns results in an instant kill. Some optional objectives (for full sync) require you to do this to a certain number of enemy ships, which can be an exercise in frustration as it is all too easy to accidentally sink them before exposing the magazine.

Order Reborn: The Assassins were all but destroyed in the New World by the Templars (it helps that the Grand Master of the Templars' New World Chapter is a former Assassin, who knows all the ins and outs of his former comrades). Connor calls Achilles out on the fact that it happened on his watch. By that point, Achilles is an old man with a cane whom the Templars (usually) leave in peace as long as he stays in the Davenport Homestead and doesn't try anything. It's up to Connor to rebuild the Assassins by recruiting those dissatisfied with the British rule and sending them on missions to other colonies. The state of the Assassins in the Old World is unknown.

For both George Washington and Connor. The real-life George Washington stepped down after a two-term limit, setting the precedent for limits of term of office and in his retirement, some ex-soldiers approached him with an offer to be King of America which he refused. The game takes this and runs with it in an Alternate Universe showing Washington what would happen to him and what he would become if he became king.

Puzzle Boss Climax Boss Haytham can only be defeated by smashing him into scenery objects. The game outright gives this away in a big text message the moment the fight begins. The Ropebeater of the Boston Brawlers has to be defeated in the same fashion. The difference is that the game does not give away the hint this time and the scenery objects are not obviously shown, making this a longer trial-and-desynchronization process.

One-Hit Polykill

One-Hit Polykill: This is actually an achievement. It goes as "killing three Mooks with a single musket instantly". You line up three mooks, stab through the first, and then shoot the second. The bullet will pass through and hit the third. That only happens if the distance is small enough.

Kung Fu-Proof Mook: The simplest way to kill mooks in combat is to block their attack and stab them. This doesn't work on officers though. The higher ranking the officer, the fewer types of attack work on him.

Beat Them at Their Own Game
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_8a6d2168
comment
Beat Them at Their Own Game: Part of what makes the Colonial Templars' Grand Master such a deadly foe is that he's received the same training as Connor. In fact, this could be said to work both ways, as the Templars have no qualms about adopting Assassin tactics if it aids them in achieving their goals.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_8b606a51

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Some of the combat finishers approach the level of Video Game Cruelty Potential, like the one where Connor stabs an opponent through the chest with his sword not once, not twice, but three times. What makes this even more over the top is that if you get interrupted before the end of a finisher combo, your opponent might not be defeated.

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: All of the Templars, post-timeskip, but most severely is Haytham. He spends every scene he gets seeking new and exciting ways to be a massive condescending jackass to Connor. Charles Lee is even more noteworthy, as his change from a respectful and polite young man to arrogant and hateful after the Time Skip is very noticeable. Part of this is a matter of perspective. Charles Lee, for instance, spends most of his time in the first three scenarios speaking with his direct superior and role model, and so of course he is respectful and polite, rather than to a native boy that is either beneath his respect or a thorn in his side.

Black Eyes of Crazy

comment
It's also hinted at some points that Connor is becoming corrupted by the powers of the Great Willow Tea. Aside from him becoming tattooed and getting bear-like and blue Black Eyes of Crazy, he talks about replacing King Washington with a new leader, rather than the "power to the people" ideal that the rebels and he himself used to speak of. King Washington himself lampshades this by asking Connor if he would use the power of the Apple to control the people, and Connor visibly struggles to answer.

Didn't Think This Through: Connor's inability to think beyond his next kill is repeatedly condemned by his enemies, and the fact that part of the Templars' plan was to preserve Native American land and negotiate a peaceful end to the war, when it is a Foregone Conclusion that neither will succeed, shows just how serious the consequences of this are.

Non-Standard Game Over
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab
comment
Non-Standard Game Over: As usual, harming civilians will cause desynchronization, since neither Haytham (who is played as before becoming a Templar) nor Connor (who is an Assassin with principles) are supposed to commit that crime. There is, however, a unique case present in this game as well: If you kill a wild animal but don't skin it afterwards, you receive a warning stating that Connor always skinned the animals he hunted. If you refuse to heed the warning and leave too many animals lying around dead and unskinned, you will be forcibly desynchronized.

Rule of Symbolism: While Connor burying a tomahawk onto the mansion's support column instead of a tree is Played for Laughs, it also represents his ignorance and recklessness in his war against the Templars. In the epilogue, after removing it, he looks around the mansion to see there are plenty of trees for him to bury the tomahawk on, symbolizing the fact that Connor's pursuit against the Templars has led to his tribe being evicted by the very people he thought would help them and killing his own father.

Don't forget map navigation on consoles! In every other game in the series, the left stick moves the map and the right stick zooms in/out. Now the right stick moves the map, the shoulder triggers zoom in and out, and the left stick opens up a Ring Menu which customizes markers. It's a really good system once you get used to it, but it'll take a while for series vets to adjust.

Athens and Sparta: Colonial Boston with Colonial New York during The American Revolution. In a shocking reversal from the modern era, the former is bigger, richer, and a much more lively area of activity while New York (as it was during the Revolution) is occupied by the British and filled with Loyalist sympathies, so it has a heavier military presence, a much tinier map and more or less a little bland and colorless.

Mook Chivalry
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_955aba87
comment
Mook Chivalry: Standard for the series, but played amazingly, stupidly straight with Abstergo goons. Entire groups of them will holster their fully-loaded 9mm pistols and pull out telescoping batons, then sequentially attack Desmond as he is finishing off the last group of guards who did the exact same thing. Occasionally averted by Revolutionary-era guards. They can form firing lines that can take off quite a bit of your health or have one grab you while another one attacks. Sometimes, up to 3 guards will attack Connor at the exact same time, though he can counter-kill all of them in a cinematic sequence if the player times it right. Wolves play this straight, pouncing at you one-at-a-time and making the fact that they appear in packs completely irrelevant. Even if you botch the Quick Time Event and get brought down by one, the others will hang back until you get free.

Contrasting Sequel Setting: The DLC takes the same physical location as the base game and turns it into a horror setting. It's the dead of the winter, all the cities and other inhabitable locations are dead and ruined, there are corpses hanging everywhere and Everything Is Trying to Kill You. To top it all off, there is Mason symbolism everywhere, and THE most important elements of the franchise - aka the Assassins and the Templars are completely absent. It's dark, foreboding, and creepy as hell. There are random trinkets all over the place that look like they came straight out of the Virtual Reality mentioned in Revelations.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_963086ce
comment
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Blocking is changed to B/Circle/E instead of RT/R1/RMB. This is included with a handful of other minor changes (such as Connor automatically locking into combat), which can disgruntle long time fans who have had four games to grow used to the control style and now find themselves accidentally hammering the wrong button only to get hit. Blocking is just the most notable change considering how much the combat relies on counter moves. This also applies to multiplayer where you would stun pursuers with B/Circle/E, but now it's on X/Square. Don't forget map navigation on consoles! In every other game in the series, the left stick moves the map and the right stick zooms in/out. Now the right stick moves the map, the shoulder triggers zoom in and out, and the left stick opens up a Ring Menu which customizes markers. It's a really good system once you get used to it, but it'll take a while for series vets to adjust. Countering is done by tapping B/Circle/E at the right time instead of holding it down and then pressing X/Square/LMB at the right time. Pickpocketing is holding down B/Circle/E rather than tapping A/X/Spacebar, with A/X/Spacebar now just used to fast walk and gently push. The fact that B/Circle/E was previously used to help Ezio make his way through crowds without stumbling led many players to hold the button constantly as you move about the streets. The fact that this action now causes you to start randomly pickpocketing people in front of you means you'll spend a lot of time accidentally getting into fights until you learn to stop holding the button.

The optional objectives can range from readily achievable to noticeably more difficult than the base objectivenote for example, you could just burst in and kill John Pitcairn... or you could do what Connor did, which was to take a longer winding route through foliage around the encampment, ascend through two different trees, then hop off of a branch onto the top of a flagpole and from there onto Pitcairn! to borderline random; fortunately, your prior optional objective progress for that mission is preserved even when you Reload(ing) From (the) Last Checkpoint, and doing so doesn't count against you for the purposes of the "do all of the above optional objectives in a single playthrough" optional objective.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_99dfd4fc
comment
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: The game provides the biggest shake-up for the series by killing Desmond, the main character. Most of the subsequent games would instead focus more on the past sections and put the player in the first-person shoes of a rotating cast of nameless minor characters who become involved in the Templar-Assassin war. While the original plans for the series involved Desmond continuing to act as the protagonist and developing the cyberpunk action further with his abilities developing through the Bleeding Effect, Ubisoft noted the much greater popularity of their historic reenactment gameplay and chose to change direction.

Controllable Helplessness: You control Connor during his walk to the gallows in Sequence 9, but you can only go forward, and you can't control the camera. During his assault on Fort George in Sequence 11, Connor is caught in a cannonball blast and spends the rest of the mission dealing with what appears to be a concussion. He can't run and can barely fight. In Sequence 12, Connor is severely injured in a fall, and can only hobble in pursuit of Charles Lee.

Greater-Scope Villain: Reginald Birch and Edward Braddock loom over the events of III as the British Templars who played a big role in the life of Haytham Kenway. The former was responsible for corrupting him into a loyal, devout Templar after killing his father Edward and selling his sister Jenny into sexual slavery while the latter was the superior officer of George Washington who led a massacre of Native Americans and French soldiers which led to Haytham eventually killing him during a chase near Fort Duquesne in Pennsylvania after he was restrained by his wife Kaniehtí:io. Shay Patrick Cormac from Rogue retroactively become this as he is the Assassin turned Templar responsible for annihilating the Colonial Brotherhood in the Seven Years War before Connor can reform it.

Interface Spoiler: Inverted during the first three chapters. When you're playing as Haytham, there are no Assassin symbols in the game world, neither on your faction nor on your enemies. That would perhaps make you suspicious, but the GUI still contains the regular amount marking for example your allies. Of course, the Animus GUI is designed by Rebecca who thinks that Desmond is playing an Assassin.

Foreshadowing
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: In the early parts of the game, there are a lot of subtle hints that Haytham is a Templar, such as the similarity of the council to Templar councils, the emphasis on the "weapons" in the Precursor vault, the use of a single assassin to try and kill Haytham on the Providence (he uses white chalk on the barrels), lots of emphasis on order and purpose, calling their organization an "Order" rather than a "Brotherhood", Haytham and his colleagues being quite callous (Thomas Hickey in particular stands out as a crude, boorish drunk), and the ring that Haytham takes from Braddock. Also, he has no qualms about threatening to kill the captain just for insulting him, whereas an Assassin would not harm an innocent, and the subtle fact that he doesn't pay his respects to Braddock upon killing him as Altair or Ezio would have done and just takes his ring and leaves. Lastly, a big visual hint: the Assassin emblem on his hidden blade bracer is scratched and defaced. It's also foreshadowed in the database entries for each of Haytham's group during the prologue, if they were Assassins, Shaun would mention it in his entries for them. There is much evidence that Juno hates humans and wants a return to "how things were before," with humanity at the first civilization's feet. So, it's unsurprising that she betrays you and plans to conquer humanity. Visit Connor's village right after Sequence 8 and talk with Kanen'tó:kon. He's not too happy with staying neutral, or the fact that Connor is telling everyone to stay neutral while fighting for the Patriots. Desmond's use of the Apple of Eden at Abstergo is foreshadowed very lightly in the introduction and in Juno's exposition segments. In fact, it's likely to make complete sense only if you've played the previous games.

Continuity Nod: When Cross goes insane in the final encounter with him, he begins shouting in Russian, as a reference to his ancestor from Assassin's Creed: The Fall and its sequel, Assassin's Creed: The Chain. When Desmond infiltrates Abstergo's headquarters, if you activate Eagle Vision, you will see that Clay's (Subject 16's) blood writings are still all over the lab. The Rope Dart was created by Shao Jun. Remember Leonardo's flying machine? It makes another appearance, though it's not quite so successful this time around. Towards the end of the game, Desmond and Shaun talk about one of The Truth puzzles showing George Washington with an Apple, something that doesn't happen in the game (along with the implication that he was a Templar). Shaun speculates that in addition to taking place somewhere after the game's scope, there might be more to the story.

One-Man Army: In keeping with the tradition of the series, Connor can take on entire regiments of troops by himself and come out victorious. Developers note that this is partially because his brutal, in-your-face combat style is nothing that the European armies were trained for, being taken from the American-adopted guerrilla tactics begun by the Native Americans (with whom Connor grew up).

These are what kill chains are for. As you kill more and avoid any damage, you can start just murderizing more advanced enemies in one stroke, with each kill getting flashier than before. You get to the point where you can kill Grenadiers in one strike, who are normally immune to combos.

Braids, Beads and Buckskins: Connor Kenway (Ratohnhaké:ton), his village and some of the multiplayer characters embody this trope; understandable because of the time period and setting. Also, all of the outfits worn by characters in the game are authentic Mohawk, as opposed to the mismatch of tribes expected from this trope, and Ubisoft worked closely with several native cultural consultants to make sure to avoid unfortunate stereotypes once they realized that they were all "essentially a bunch of middle-aged white guys".

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_a1e4de7
comment
Never Bring A Knife To A Gunfight: When Desmond and Daniel Cross face off for the last time, Cross mocks Desmond for using a knife in the modern era. Cross then conveniently has a Freak Out, after which Desmond takes his silenced pistol and takes the lesson to heart by gunning down Abstergo security guards. Abstergo's security guards avert this; for some reason they wield their guns like flintlocks instead of actual semi-automatic pistols, and prefer melee combat, letting Desmond beat them up with ease. In gameplay, trying to fistfight Officers and Jagers without disarming them first will get Connor countered and cut to bits. It also works to your benefit, though; Jagers and Grenadiers that would easily counter Connor to death if going weapon-to-weapon are much easier targets once Connor's the only one with a weapon.

Back from the Brink: The American Brotherhood of Assassins, implied to have been plentiful and prosperous, is now reduced to a grumpy old black man in a run-down house on the Frontier, an old sailor drinking his sorrows away, and a second HQ run by a former slave in the Bayou swamps by the time Connor comes along.  How prosperous the Homestead becomes is up to the player, but according to the game's version of history Connor was able to restore the American Brotherhood to its former glory.  He must have been a busy boy.

Hates Being Touched: Connor reacts very poorly to hugs, shoulder claps, and similar "familiar" behavior from the Colonists he meets. Sam Adams has to show him how to shake hands. Even late in the game, he reacts to pats on the shoulder with a Death Glare. People who are familiar with him grow to recognize this. He becomes less averse to it as the Homestead Missions go on, as he begins to see the other people on the Homestead as a family.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Apparently the training of Abstergo security officers involves wielding semi-auto pistols like flintlocks, and being unable to hit a human target at two paces.

Alternate History: An Alternate History of an Alternate History, primarily caused by Washington finding an Apple of Eden and being corrupted by its power. It's explained by writers and hinted in the expanded backstory of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag that what we see in the DLC is a "calculation", that is, the Applied Phlebotinum of the Apple's Timey-Wimey Ball sometimes gives glimpses of possible futures as well as actual ones, with Connor and George merely getting a glimpse of one. Although this isn't without precedent in the series: Desmond describes his compulsion to kill Lucy as an informed decision due to having seen what would have happened otherwise.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Especially since the setting is Revolutionary War America you know that this trope is bound to pop up frequently throughout the story: This game has much more ethnically diverse NPCs as well as taking place in colonial America. Connor is treated with quite a bit of prejudice, referred to as a "half-breed" (his father is English and his mother is Mohawk), and personally thinks that the Patriots should be fighting for the rights and freedoms of all the peoples who live in the Thirteen Colonies, as opposed to just the ethnic Europeans. He even has a brief conversation with Samuel Adams over Adams' owning a slave; Adams explains that she's legally a free woman (actually true, as both are historical characters) and that the Patriots just want to achieve general freedom first, after which they will work for the rights of non-whites. After the game's official end, in a cutscene set on Evacuation Day (when the British soldiers left the newly-formed United States) Connor witnesses the crowds cheering as the redcoats shove off, then sees a public slave auction happening right behind the crowd. In the same game, Achilles deliberately gives Ratonhnhaké:ton a European name like Connor, so he doesn't stand out in cities. He also tells him to pass himself off as a Spaniard, since Connor's darker complexion would allow for that. Yes, he won't be treated as well as a WASP, but it's still better than being half-Mohawk and much better than being like Achilles (black). William Johnson mentions to Haytham Kenway that his Irish Catholic background meant that his opportunities in life were limited and had to convert to Protestantism when he and his uncle left for America. In one mission where Connor briefly teams up with his father Haytham tries to assert patriarchal authority over him. Connor (raised in a matrilineal culture) makes it clear he sees him as nothing more than a man who had a one night stand with his mother.

Alas, Poor Villain: A somber aftermath is surprisingly prevalent in the majority of assassinations. Heck, the Big Bad even gets a funeral with mourning fellow Templars. After his first big kill, Connor says he just feels regret and Achilles says "Hold fast to that."

Abusive Parents: William used to beat Desmond as a child. Nominally part of his Training from Hell, it left Desmond hating his dad but also desperately seeking his approval. William admits later that he "wasn't always the best father", which is quite an understatement. Haytham to Connor as well. Though justified, since they’re both on opposite sides and Haytham not feigning in affection. He didn’t even hesitate to kill Connor!

comment
Tap on the Head: All of Connor's (and by extension, Desmond's) unarmed finishers will never kill his opponents, as they merely moan and writhe on the floor afterwards. Considering his high-profile behind attack is a Suplex Finisher that breaks the victim's spine, and one open combat finisher involves forcing an opponent to his hands and knees, then curb-stomping his neck, it becomes downright impossible for his opponents to not be dead. At the same time, a halfhearted kick to the leg of the same guy who survived his neck being broken will kill him dead. Connor himself gets beaten up and knocked out on multiple occasions, and seems to be suffering from concussion symptoms after several of them.

Retcon: The first Assassin's Creed game was released in 2007 but is set in 2012. Several e-mails can be read which tell of things such as Hollywood having closed and most of Africa's population having died out. But in this game, the series caught up with 2012, and every subsequent installment has been set in its year of release, so those e-mails have been retconned to have been propaganda to Abstergo Employees by the hacker group Erudito.

Space Compression: Inverted for the cities. New York and Boston are stated to be about three times the size of their real counterparts of the period. Played straight for the Frontier. It encompasses most of the game map, which is about two square miles in size, or slightly larger than Rome in Brotherhood. This is an area that represents eastern Massachusetts (Lexington and Concord), central New York State (Johnstown and the Mohawk Valley), central New Jersey (Monmouth), eastern Pennsylvania (Valley Forge) and western Pennsylvania (Fort Duquesne i.e. Pittsburgh), and wherever Davenport Homestead is (coastal New England).

Too Dumb to Live: In-universe, twice during the Storming the Castle sequence.

Later, Daniel Cross lampshades the stupidity of continuing to run around with a knife as a main weapon in the 21st century, when most people have guns. As it turns out, Desmond has the Apple, which is all he really needs.

Confusion Fu: According to the Battle of Bunker Hill's database entry, unintentionally done by the Continental Army. Their organization and communication was rather poor, causing some units to arrive in different places at different times with no idea what to do. General Howe saw some of these units and assumed that they were freshly arriving reinforcements, causing him to hold his deployment back until his own reinforcements could arrive. Unfortunately for the Redcoats, this gave the Continental Army more time to dig-in and construct more fortifications, turning what would have been a mop-up into a drawn out meat-grinder. Shaun says in the same entry that he's thinking about using this technique himself by shouting about tables at people who start at him until they give up in confusion.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b
comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The game is mostly historically accurate (see Shown Their Work below) but there are some deviations from history because of the limitations of video games. History tells us that the American rebel forces had a notoriously hard time getting matching and functional uniforms for themselves. However, since it is not very easy and not very fun to attempt to ID which badly-dressed NPCs in a sea of them are going to be hostile to the player without help, every squad of Patriots is identically, immaculately dressed. Similarly, the ladies attending the London Royal Opera House scene at the very beginning of the game are the exact same character models used for the colonial townswomen in America. They should be dressed in the incredibly opulent fashions of the Georgian era (high, powdered wigs, highly embellished ballgowns etc), but it's likely the developers wanted to avoid having to design a distinct set of complicated female models for just one scene. As mentioned under Global Currency, the game has simplified the reality of the colonial monetary system into pounds. In-universe example as well, as Shaun tells Desmond he programmed the Animus this way to make it easier for him. Real naval battles had hours of maneuver followed by an hour or so of intense combat, when they came to combat at all. Commanders were damned proud if their sailors could manage three or four minutes between broadsides, and they were difficult to aim at the best of times. In short, view the naval battles as a compression of events, if that helps you accept the Aquila spinning on a dime.

The Final Temptation: For both George Washington and Connor. The real-life George Washington stepped down after a two-term limit, setting the precedent for limits of term of office and in his retirement, some ex-soldiers approached him with an offer to be King of America which he refused. The game takes this and runs with it in an Alternate Universe showing Washington what would happen to him and what he would become if he became king. For Connor. The Apple and the sky-journeys offer him a sense of power and command that gives him quite a high after his Break the Cutie in the main game and he is seriously tempted to take the Apple and use it for his own means. He turns it down, of course.

Playable Epilogue: The postgame allows you to explore the past-era world freely to complete any missed or unfinished sidequests; however, the new content is brief, including only some post-independence cutscenes and a pivot quest. There's also Tyranny of King Washington which takes place after the events of the base game's story, but it's DLC.

Sadistic Choice: In the end, Desmond either has to let the world be wrecked beyond repair, essentially rebooting the planet with him as Messianic Archetype, only for a whole new order of Assassins and Templars to arise and begin the whole war all over again or save it at the cost of own his life but unleash Juno upon it. He chooses the latter.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Double Subversion - King Washington does shoot Ratohnhaké:ton (twice, in fact, and stabs him with a bayonet too for good measure) when he gets the chance. However, he inexplicably survives. When Washington finds out about Ratohnhaké:ton's survival, he seeks to behead him to try to ensure his death this time around. Ratohnhaké:ton still easily escapes.

Big Applesauce: Connor visits New York after the fire of 1776. Desmond visits the Big Apple for a story mission. After almost falling off a tall building, Shaun tells him to hold position because of the view of the city's night skyline. Desmond is rather annoyed by this. Amusingly, data from Desmond's phone — which you can find through hacking computers in the sequel — includes a picture he took of himself with that same view as the background.

Then there's the excessive Mason symbolism, that Everything Is Trying to Kill You, and whoever the hell that royalty supporter was at the end.

Blade on a Rope: This installment introduces Conner's rope spear, a vicious little gadget he can use to yank unsuspecting opponents towards him. Even nastier is that, while up in a tree, he can use the rope spear to yank a victim up into the tree, effectively removing them as a combatant. Note that it will not work on the larger heshian soldiers.

Tomato Surprise: Haytham and his friends are Templars, and you've unwittingly been playing as (or at least with) the Big Bad of the game. The twist at the end of Sequence 3 is set up by the fact that throughout all previous games, you have always played as an Assassin. This causes you to cheerfully ignore the foreshadowing. The twist is further enhanced by the inversion of Interface Spoilers: You don't see any ingame Assassin symbols during the prologue. Well, maybe the assassins have finally figured out that a secret order shouldn't advertise its presence with a great honking flag - but you're still definitely playing as an Assassin since your GUI involves some Assassin symbols (marking your compatriots for example), right? Wrong - your GUI is written by Rebecca who also assumes that you're still embodying an Assassin. As always, Desmond speaks for the players; as soon as Haytham's true allegiance is revealed, the sequence abruptly stops with Desmond exclaiming "Wait, what!?"

Final-Exam Boss: Both Charles Lee and Daniel Cross serve as these for Connor and Desmond respectively. Charles Lee's assassination is an intense obstacle course testing the player's reflexes and free-running skills. Cross' assassination is much more open, but it requires skill at tracking enemies through dynamic environments and at traversing complex platforms and pathways. However, in neither case do you actually engage the target in a fight.

However, its first volley manages to knock out all of the Aquila's cannons, forcing Connor to board it instead.

Mêlée à Trois: Neither the Assassins nor Templars have any loyalty to either side in the American Revolution. Haytham makes it clear that he cares nothing about England's "idiot king", and Connor is motivated purely by personal vengeance and doesn't really give a damn if America wins independence. The very messy political situation is reflected in the ending, where the Colonial Templars have been wiped out, England has lost its colonies, and Connor realizes that the men he slew, though certainly despicable, weren't in any way responsible for the destruction of his village, while the man who was is now the most powerful man in the newly-formed United States of America.

Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity: Nothing quite like a traitorous Enemy Mine to help Connor and Haytham develop a connection. Granted, they still push each other at every turn, but there are moments where it's clear that Haytham is at least trying to bond with him, when he tries to tone down his snarky tendencies. Desmond and William use their enforced proximity to haltingly resume a relationship that was already in bad shape when Desmond ran away from the Assassins' enclave as a teenager.

Shout-Out: A scene early in the first chapter depicts bluecoats locking an entire town in a church before lighting it on fire, just like in The Patriot (2000). The townsfolk make it out much better this time around. Part of the last Sky Journey in the DLC looks and plays very similar to Shadow of the Colossus: Rakonhnaké:ton needs to climb an enormous, walking bear, although rather than kill it, he needs to pull out the spears stuck in it. The final spear is even stuck in the bear's forehead, the final weak spot on many of the Colossi.

There's an environmental/stealth kill where Connor rams the victim's head into a pitchfork on a rack of tools. Connor is impaled by a piece of wood while chasing down Lee. He lives but the effects of the injury stay with him even after a few years.

If We Get Through This…: Near the end, Desmond and his fellow Assassins start to talk about what they will do after the solar flare is stopped. Shaun wants to take the Animus all the way back to the First Civilization, Rebecca wants to go on vacation, and Desmond would like to meet up with his mother again. None of them get a chance to do this.

Series Continuity Error: A small one, but during one of Desmond's encounters with Juno in the Grand Temple, he is shown a vision of Ezio meeting Minerva beneath the Vatican, but in his Brotherhood-era Roman robes and not the Armor of Altair he was canonically wearing at the time. The intro movie has Ezio meeting Minerva while wearing his Revelations-era Pilgrimage robes.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: At the end of the DLC, Washington is confronted by a mysterious figure who somehow appeared in his office soundlessly, who tries to convince Washington to take up the mantle of King. Washington lays a verbal smackdown on the man for his troubles, but somehow the mysterious man disappears from the office while Washington is in mid-sentence and is looking right at him. Sneaky Templar agent? Techno wizardry from Those Who Came Before? Symptoms of insanity or dementia on Washington's part caused by the stress of the events of the DLC? You decide.

An Entrepreneur Is You: Connor can sell animal pelts and other parts in the various stores in the game, and he takes ownership of the dilapidated manor his mentor Achilles owns. Setting up trade routes and sending off caravans with goods — each with risk/reward ratios, even! — is a big part of it as well.

Low-Speed Chase: This is how Connor and the Big Bad's confrontation ends, because it took place in a burning shipyard and Connor got impaled by falling rubble, while he shot the villain mid-gloat, meaning the two are crawling and limping their way through.

Settling the Frontier
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_ccc0d531
comment
Settling the Frontier: The focus of the Homestead side quests, finding and encouraging people to come and settle near Achilles' manor, then helping them settle in and sort through their issues. They are far enough away from big cities that they need to pull together and depend on each other's skills and efforts, but close enough that they can trade. As new people come into the homestead and business operations are further developed, new buildings will go up and new people will walk the unpaved roads and go about their business. The progressive march of the American colonists into the frontier is what threatens the lifestyle of Connor's Mohawk tribe. In the end, for all his other victories he is doomed to fail at protecting them.

Spiritual Antithesis

Spiritual Antithesis: To The Patriot (2000). Both works focus on a protagonist who joins the cause of independence during The American Revolution after witnessing a loved one die in a raid conducted by British forces. Other than the story, setting and a couple of characters, they couldn't be any more different from each other since ACIII not only serves as a Deconstructor Fleet to most works set in the Revolutionary War but Gray-and-Grey Morality and Deliberate Values Dissonance are very much prevalent throughout the story whereas The Patriot being Braveheart in America sticks to good old-fashioned Black-and-White Morality as well as using Artistic License and Politically Correct History to portray the conflict.

Lighter and Softer
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0
comment
The Ezio games are Lighter and Softer despite the high body count and Trauma Conga Line undergone by Ezio. Also, both Altair and Ezio have the luxury of definite victories since they belong to cultures which are stable and near their peak, whereas for Connor, his goal of trying to protect his village, and by extension halting the spread of the American frontier, can only lead to Failure Is the Only Option which makes his game feel very grim and dark and with a real sense of Pyrrhic Victory in his hunt against the Templars. His ethnicity and mentions of Sam Adams's slave Surry also emphasize how hollow the Patriots' espoused freedom really is as the likes of him and Achilles are still not entirely free.

Escort Mission: Numerous, but by far the worst one is where you must defend a fleet of 8 merchant ships against 4 capital ships. The merchant ships excel in getting in front of your course and your firing line. They also appear to be suicidal, as even if you immobilize one of the enemy ships, they will happily sail right in front of its cannons.

Boarding Party
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_d2810345
comment
Boarding Party: Happens in a couple of naval battles, usually when someone on an enemy ship needs to be interrogated. To do it, you have to destroy any other ships attacking while keeping the target ship afloat. Then, you have to switch to Chain Shots, loading your cannons with chains that are shot in an arc to break the ship's mast, which of course leaves it as a giant hunk of wood in the water. Then you approach, and you and your crew jump on. Cue a massive, widespread battle on the deck. Special mention goes to the Battle of Chesapeake Bay: At the end, the cannons are destroyed after a Man O' War hits the ship full blast with its broadside cannons. Without missing a beat, Connor rams into the Man O' War and boards it alone. He kills dozens of men, including the captain, before blowing the ship to bits by shooting the gunpowder reserves and jumping back to his ship. Without a doubt one of the most awesome moments in the game.

The reason for this was to set up a situation where either the world would be devastated and then restart its old cycle of fanaticism and violence, or she would be set free to take over the world.

The remaster also made the weapon wheel transparent, so opening it no longer brings up a screen that covers everything. While you still need to synchronize with viewpoints, the map immediately around you is now exposed as you walk through the open world, in comparison to, say Assassin's Creed II, where the map remains greyed out until you synchronize.

Bulletproof Human Shield
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_d7e68c39
comment
Bulletproof Human Shield: Connor can use enemies as shields against massed musket fire, then close with the remaining soldiers before they can reload. It also features in one dual execution move, where Connor knocks down one soldier, then grabs the other to block the knocked down soldier's musket shot. Connor has a dual execution move that defies this trope: he can run a soldier through with the bayonet of a musket, then fire the musket at the soldier behind the first one. It is similar to one of Ezio's moves in Brotherhood, wherein he counters a soldier by blocking him, then shooting him through and killing the soldier behind him as well.

Eternal Recurrence: Defied in the ending. The world is about to be destroyed in a catastrophic event the main characters are trying to prevent. At the end it's revealed that stopping the event will unleash a potentially great evil on the world, and Desmond will die as a result, and he's told the better alternative is to let it happen and become the leader of a new world of survivors who will eventually be revered as a god and whose teachings will be subverted and used in the name of evil, causing many conflicts until the world gets hit with another catastrophic event, just as it has before and implied to have happened many, many times before. He chooses not to hit the reset button, letting the world continue on.

Writers Cannot Do Math: There are several side missions that can take place years after your current time period, despite just becoming available, most notably the Benedict Arnold missions. You can do them as soon as you arrive in New York in Sequence 10, but for some reason, Connor is extremely hostile to Washington during the mission and returns to being friendly towards him after it ends. This is because Washington ordered Connor's village destroyed, which he isn't supposed to find out until Sequence 11.

Renovating the Player Headquarters: Achilles's Homestead takes the place of Monteriggioni from the last game, allowing Connor to find prospective settlers to move in and help build up the place as a proper town. The homesteaders can provide Conner with raw resources to make more or better equipment, as well as provide local color when Conner visits with them. The settlement can be further improved by doing tasks for the residents, further enhancing the resources you can gather.

Artificial Brilliance: Since almost all of your enemies now wield bayoneted muskets, whenever they have a loaded shot, they will usually maintain distance from you while lining up a shot. However, they never think to avoid shooting their fellow comrades once Connor uses one of them as a human shield. Also, the importance of using different fighting tactics on different enemies is more prominently enforced in this game, particularly through the Boston Brawlers sidequests.

Translation Convention: One of the few games in the series to totally avert convenient language translation. All voice acting is done in the appropriate language, with large amounts of dialogue among the Kanien'kehá:ka being done by native speakers and given subtitles; they never speak English unless it's appropriate to the situation or person, even if they know it fluently. There is a mild "Accent Convention", where colonial characters speak using American accents while British characters speak with British accents, even though both should be using the same accent (which, incidentally, would sound closer to a modern American accent than a modern British one).

Calling the Old Man Out: After Sequence 3, Desmond finally snaps at William, ranting about how he hates being nothing but an Unwitting Pawn who is treated like he isn't even there, and that William himself is just as bad as the Templars. His father punches him in the face in response. Connor accuses Achilles of failing to protect the Assassin Brotherhood before setting out on his own in Sequence 10. Connor later calls Haytham out for deliberately concealing the fact that Washington was involved with the attack on his village years ago and had just authorized another attack due to them supporting the British in order to manipulate him. He also calls Washington out for this and declares that he will no longer aid him in the war.

comment
Artistic License – Ships: The game has Connor take command (and helm) of the Aquila, a Revolution-era frigate, despite never setting foot on a ship before. The experienced former captain of the ship becomes your Number Two and just gives out advice. The Aquila is extremely maneuverable for a frigate, and the cannons reload way too fast. Also, you can go from "no sail" to "full sail" in two seconds, with the ship immediately accelerating to that speed. There are no consequences to having all sails unfurled when sailing into the wind. This can be explained away as being a heavily abstracted and condensed reconstruction of Connor's memories by the Animus 3.0 (which is supposed to be the most realistic Animus yet).

All Just a Dream: The bonus memory fragments and the ending reveal that the entire Alternate History was a vision caused by an Apple that Washington found in Yorktown. Apparently, the entire sequence of events plays out in a fraction of a second after they both touch it. After that, Washington realizes that such a powerful artifact must never be used, lest the user become corrupted by it. Furthermore, the experience only serves to reinforce his belief in the republic. Connor is also humbled into avoiding such objects in the future and vindicated that backing Washington was worth something after all.

Guns Are Worthless
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb
comment
Guns Are Worthless: While Connor can One-Hit Kill most enemies with guns, the same cannot be said in reverse; even a full musket volley only takes off a decent sized chunk of his health. Later in the game, he can acquire a hidden item that can deflect bullets, making them even more worthless against him. When Desmond confronts Abstergo security officers during his missions, their pistols are harmless to him, dealing no apparent damage if they even hit at all. Of course, when Desmond gets his hands on a pistol late in the game, he can immediately one-shot all the guards.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Par the course for this series. Most Founding Fathers were allied with the Assassins and Charles Lee was a Templar trying to sabotage the Revolution. Contrary to what you may expect, however, the Freemasons didn't have any grandiose secrets or extensive history.

Mundane Utility: Eagle Vision works great at picking your target out from a crowd and, as a young Connor found, making it easier to win at hide and seek. By the time the game is over, Connor will likely have used his hidden blade to kill and skin game far more often than he will have used it to assassinate people.

Digging Yourself Deeper: When Stephane Chapheau goes on a rampage after discovering that he had been robbed by British tax collectors (literally; they broke into his house when he was out) Connor tries to talk sense into him to stop it. When Stephane finds the man responsible for the robbery, Connor only says "create a window", not more violence. Then the guy makes the mistake of mentioning that he does not work for the British Parliament but William Johnson. At which point, Connor has an abrupt change of mind and says "end his pain cleanly". The guy realizes his badly chosen words moments before Stephane kills him.

Later games simply had them be set around the time of release.

Creepy Child: Both New York and Boston are infested with random trios of "orphans," whose entire purpose is similar to that of the "beggars" in previous games: To jump out and obstruct your path until you get pissed enough, chucking coins at them so they'll go away. But the creepy part comes in after you run into them a few times, and realize that their character model has only one sound associated with it...Which is a repetitious, bizarre, wordless whoop-and-giggle combo that rapidly becomes extremely unsettling. So much so that you'll find yourself doing just about anything to avoid hearing it.

Cosmic Deadline: The plan for the Assassin's Creed trilogy of games was to bring Desmond's story to a close by the end of the year 2012, to play off the end of the Mayan calendar as an impending apocalypse that the world in general does not take seriously, but the Assassins must try to prevent. To this end, there was a rush to get Assassins Creed III out the door by a particular date important to the story. While Ubisoft did a commendable job, the result is some rough elements that they did not have time to polish out.

 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_f9669a32
comment
Useless Useful Stealth: Social Stealth, a staple gameplay element of the previous games in the series, is no longer quite as important. This is likely because it's harder to hide from alerted enemies than before, and simply killing all the pursuing guards is faster. Assassin Recruits can disguise themselves as guards and escort Connor through enemy guard posts. While this works on regular guards, those guarding forts still won't let you in and will attack if you try to press it. They also have a tendency to dress up in the wrong uniform, sometimes leading to you being paraded around Redcoat territory by Patriot guards or vice versa, rendering the disguise useless as guards will attack them on sight.

Shaun then goes on to explain the euphemism with further euphemisms for several sentences, before finally dropping the euphemisms altogether. He closes the log saying that he will explain the euphemism again later in case Desmond did not get it the first time.

You Killed My Father
 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_fb6b207f
comment
You Killed My Father: As revealed in this very game, this trope is the reason behind the events of the entire series. Juno's father was killed during the war between Those Who Came Before and humanity. This left her with a deep-seated resentment of humanity. As a result, she manipulated the plan to prepare humans for the next solar flare to ensure that she would be able to return to Earth and conquer humanity after the threat had passed. The war between the Assassins and Templars, two groups of people who both ultimately just wanted to make the world a better place and merely disagreed on how to do it, was at least partially Juno's fault thanks to her manipulations via the Pieces of Eden, since the two groups working together might have found a way to stop the solar flare without following her plans. Connor hates Charles Lee and wants him dead because he blames him for the attack on his village that killed his mother Ziio. He does not respond well when he learns that his ally George Washington was the one truly responsible for the attack. He eventually leaves Washington alone (he merely cuts off all ties with him) though.

Hopeless Boss Fight: George Washington.

Eventually he hits you with his staff, shoots you with two pistols, takes a musket and stabs you with the bayonet, simultaneously shooting you a third time before leaving you for dead. You get your revenge later... sorta...

Brain Uploading: One of the "methods of salvation" attempted by the First Civilization was to transfer their minds into a computer for storage against the apocalypse. The problem they had was not how to get in, but how to get out. It is strongly implied that Juno, Minerva, or both underwent this process, and that Desmond's sacrifice is in some way Juno's ticket out.

During their "final words" scene, Connor's assassination targets tend to say something along the lines of "What have you done!? I was just trying to help! Now more people will die!", which is more in line with how they were in the first game. They seek to control, but also to protect humanity, mostly from itself, whereas the Assassins are slipping from trying to encourage people to better themselves, to doggedly harassing the Templars because they don't know how to do anything else. Connor, to his credit, is aware of this and can see both sides of the picture.

comment
Mighty Whitey: The game subverts it by means of the protagonist's skewed perception. Once with Haytham Kenway who gets involved with the Mohawk during his mission and falls in love with a Native American woman, only to be ultimately kicked out by his lover due to his Templar allegiance despite him and his faction trying their best to keep the Natives safe from the ever-expanding colonies; the second time with William Johnson, an Irish templar who spends most of his time among native Americans, to the point where he wears several articles of tribal clothing above a typical British colonial outfit. He has spent most of his life trading with the natives, which Connor assumes is ultimately part of an evil plan due to his belonging to the Templar Order. Except Connor is entirely wrong, Johnson was helping the natives all along including Connor's own tribe, and represents their sole salvation in a world where every other colonial wants them eradicated. The fate of the Native Americans is sealed when Connor stabs Johnson to death and sides with a faction that proceeds to drive all the natives off of their lands and kill most of them.

Item Crafting

comment
Item Crafting: A lot more involved than the bomb-crafting of the past, too. You need to set up a bunch of other people in your Homestead (basically, the countryside around your manor) before you can even begin to craft, since they provide you with resources and are the ones who actually turn those resources into weapons (or other tradeable materials).

Evil-Detecting Dog: Although it isn't played straight as Connor is generally considered a good guy, even if you haven't done anything "wrong" in front of a dog, it may start barking at you, and grab a nearby enemy patrol's attention.

Hunter Trapper: Connor can hunt and trap animals in the North American wilderness and then sell the meat, skin, bones and fat to several of the craftsmen that lives nearby his homestead to produce the goods he can then sell to finanize his war against the Templars and their British allies during the American Revolution.

 Assassin's Creed III (Video Game) / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Pet the Dog: Literally, and some other animals too if you want. As a trope, Haytham is probably the least evil-seeming of the Templars, ever. In his sequences, he frees Mohawk slaves, rescues a man being tortured, chews out a ship captain for being an asshole to his crew, and assassinates a butcher of a general. It's all to forward his goal of getting into that vault, but it's not just a chess game to him; he really does want to help people in the long run.

Shown Their Work: The development team went above and beyond the norm for historical events, showing the political figures Warts and All and even hiring consultants so they could accurately portray life in a Mohawk village. This includes never actually using the term "Mohawk" to refer to the culture, other than a codex entry explaining the history of the term. It was clear that the developers put a great deal of effort into creating a proper non-cliched portrayal of Native Americans, specifically in this case, the Mohawk Nation. A way into development, the team even realized that they would need help and actually brought on a member of the Nation onboard to serve as a cultural consultant to make sure they got all the details right. Much of Connor's character; especially in how he presents and handles himself are rooted in this research. It's Kanien'kehá:ka all the way. Every Mohawk tribe member you encounter in the game? Played by actual members of the Tribe. That's dedication. While expatriated now, during the 18th Century cougars and elk really could be found in the northeastern US. Captain Kidd's sword is based on a real sword that George Washington wore when he examined his troops in the field.
