His new convictions have not yet set in fully when he gets sent to complete a mission that unleashes a disaster of unexpected proportions, which disillusions Shay from the Brotherhood and their heroic purpose. Burdened by his terrible knowledge and rendered a pariah to his former friends, Shay finds allies among the Templar cause and goes forth on a dark quest that takes him to the frozen ends of the earth.Meanwhile, in the present day, an Abstergo Research Consultant going through Shay's memories accidentally activates a virus that knocks systems out in the building.

| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_125f3ee4 | comment |
Captain James Cook is often enlisted for assistance by Shay and the Templars, and Gist even says he would invite Cook to join the Order, but can't because Cook Cannot Keep a Secret. Berg's String Theory still places him under the Templars. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The Fleet Missions. There are 33 of them, & later missions take 1-3 hours to complete. It’s possible to finish the game AND grab all other bonuses before even finishing this activity. While these missions continue to run even when you’re not playing, sometimes they don’t for absolutely no reason. Unlocking the Templar chainmail armor is also this due to Double Unlock. You have to scour the 3 game maps for 24 treasure maps, then scour the game maps again for the buried treasure shown by those maps. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Since you're playing as a Templar and participating in The Purge of the Colonial Assassins, this is a given. Your protagonist is also the first in the series who is free to kill civilian NPCs without any punishment from the Animus interface. This is borne out in the Sequence 2 mission ""Kyrie Eleison". The cool puzzles and tomb exploration that you indulged in becomes a source of horror when it unleashes the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake, you barely escape the mass destruction of the city and when you do, you realize that you unthinkingly are responsible for it. The Assassins' blindness at what they have unleashed and Achilles' refusal to listen to Shay brings about the tragedy of their fall and destruction. | |

Hero Antagonist | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_1501e2dd | comment |
Likewise Achilles ends up being a Hero Antagonist or Anti-Villain simply for doing what all the Mentors before him had done. Track First Civilization technology and unearth tombs. Altaïr tinkered with the Apple throughout his life while Ezio visited four First Civilization vaults in his long career and both of them tinkered with technology which was entirely outside their comprehension. It was Achilles' misfortune that the second occasion that it proved to be an outright disaster was on his watch. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Shay spends the majority of the game as a Templar attempting to do good by other people, only fighting the Assassins to stop any harm coming to innocents that he felt would happen if he did nothing to prevent it, and is also extremely remorseful for turning against his former allies all the way through. The final scene, however, shows him to be colder, and his words also imply that he had a hand in personally starting the French Revolution, and does not show any regret, or even final respects, to Arno's father unlike most of the previous Assassins he killed. | |

Edward had a blowpipe that fired berserk, sleep, and rope darts. Shay has an air rifle that can fire all of those, plus firecrackers for blowing up gunpowder barrels and poison gas casks and distracting enemies, plus it has an optional Grenade Launcher with sleep, berserk, and plain ole fragmentation ammo that can take out whole crowds of enemies. | |

Older Is Better | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_192ba729 | comment |
Older Is Better: The Templar 11th Century Armor is a suit of Templar chainmail armor from the First Crusade that somehow offers better protection from bullets and firearms in general than any contemporary outfit Shay can wear. That's especially weird because the penetrative power of firearms was the very reason this type of armor became obsolete centuries before the events of the game. | |

Artistic License – Geology | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_1a5bba2b | comment |
Artistic License – Geology: Overlapping a bit with Artistic License – Geography, the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake is treated as if its epicenter is in central Lisbon, when in reality it was about 200 kilometers west-southwest of Cape Saint-Vincent, and a lot deeper in the ground than the First Civilization vault that Shay visits beneath the Cathedral, which is a deep basement at best. To cause the real earthquake, the attached First Civilization device would have to be huge, and that's giving the word "huge" a real workout.. In comparison to other such things in the series, this is bordering on A Wizard Did It. | |

The Brute | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_1b5fa24a | comment |
The Brute: In contrast to Shay's more thoughtful, skeptical, apologetic and humourous personality, Haytham comes off as even more cruel than in III, especially when he shoots Achilles in the knees for no other reason than spite. Adéwalé, on noticing this, tells Haytham that Edward Kenway would be ashamed of what he has become and he's not half the man his father was. | |

The Ghost: Achilles' wife and son are mentioned early on in the game, as is their passing, but they're never seen. Shay and Liam discuss their passing at the beginning of Sequence 2. Reginald Birch is the Templar Grand Master, the reason they're even in America in the first place, and has numerous letters addressed to and from him, but he never once appears in person. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: It seems very likely Shay and the Colonial Assassins wouldn't have come to blows if not for the fact no one was willing to sit down and have a conversation about what the hell was going on. Shay feels that Achilles knew what the Precursor Box could do which he plainly didn't, while Achilles can't wrap his head around the box or an object causing earthquakes since nothing on that scale happened in any of their early interactions with the Precursor artefacts. | |

Accent Adaptation: Averted, as is the standard for most characters in an Assassin's Creed game. Averted even during the glitched memories set in Paris, and the last mission, which is set during the beginning of Assassin's Creed: Unity — which jarringly gave British accents to Parisians, presumably to match Unity. | |

Both factions have an unwritten agreement to not involve him in their true nature. Captain James Cook is often enlisted for assistance by Shay and the Templars, and Gist even says he would invite Cook to join the Order, but can't because Cook Cannot Keep a Secret. Berg's String Theory still places him under the Templars. | |

Quietly Performing Sister Show: To Assassin's Creed: Unity.

| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Templar Enforcer outfit you get for completing all Assassin interceptions looks unspeakably awesome. It also has the hidden effect of buffing Shay's Stalker detection range. This may sound helpful, but it only makes the whispering sound kick in sooner and the detection meter fill up quicker and from a longer distance, which ironically makes it a lot more difficult to pinpoint the Stalker's actual location. | |

Cool, but Inefficient | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_2cb9b1a9 | comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: The recurring rope dart weapon. It can pull enemies off-balance during direct confrontations, but that can also be done just by tapping the "break defense" button. It can be used to pull enemies into stalking zones, but the process is slow and highly visible, both problems which can be avoided by just whistling to attract the enemy to your location. It can be used to pull sentries off of ledges or out of guard towers, but this is very conspicuous and leaves their body in plain sight, and if you're not trying to be stealthy you could just use a gun. It can be used to hang enemies from tree branches, which is the epitome of this trope because it looks really cool but doesn't confer any kind of advantage over just dropping down on the enemy or staying in the tree and remaining hidden. | |

Shay mocks this.

| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Juhani Otso Berg is the ruthless Knight Templar boss of Abstergo, working to wipe out all opposition to them. He's also seemingly possessed of a good deal more conscience than most Templars and a sense of honor, as well as being a devout believer in the righteousness of the Templar cause. This goes beyond his Morality Pet daughter. | |

Ramming Always Works | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_3114c1e5 | comment |
Ramming Always Works: A naval battle feature returning from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, as the respective game mechanics are largely identical. What's new is that the Morrigan's charged ram attack is far easier to unlock than the Jackdaw's due to having been incorporated into the regular naval ram upgrades. It doesn't sound like much but actually goes a long way toward making one-hit-ramming enemy ships a dangerous yet very useful tactic throughout much of the game whereas in Black Flag it was more of a Bragging Rights Reward because of how late in the game it became available. | |

Apologetic Attacker: Shay takes no pleasure (with the exception of Verendrye, who was a major dick to him) in hunting down his former friends and allies and is genuinely remorseful at the deaths of Liam, Adéwalé (who he calls a "good man") and Hope. | |

TrailersAlwaysLie | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_337a0f4 | comment |
Trailers Always Lie: The trailers for the game depict Shay as a ruthless killer but even after he aligns himself with the Templars he never becomes a brutal killer. As pointed out in this IGN Review. Also, to the annoyance of fans, Shay's Templar outfit in-game doesn't have the a hood attached as it does in the trailer, and on the cover of the game itself. There is a "Dark Assassin" costume complete with hood, but it's a moodier version of his initial outfit. This seems to have been removed from the game late in development, as Shay will still move as if pulling a hood up when entering restricted areas, popping the collar on his Templar outfit instead. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Haytham kneecaps Achilles at the end out of sheer spite despite Shay successfully arguing, on perfect logic and sound judgement in the existence of a contrite and chastened Achilles. Achilles, of all people, gets one when his first reaction to finding out about the Lisbon earthquake is to blame the clearly distraught Shay for it. While understandable, since Shay is robbing his house at the time, Achilles also doesn't hesitate to order Shay killed, though of course what Achilles does is no different from what any other Mentor would have done in that situation. The entire Colonial Assassin order and the surrounding Homestead gets one when they, to a man, all turn around to try and murder Shay without hesitation. | |

Sequel Escalation: Shay Cormac's arsenal includes everything Edward Kenway had access to, and them some: Edward's ship had chain shot, exploding barrels, an armored prow for ramming, and swivel guns. Shay's ship has exploding cannonballs, a flaming oil slick, a power ram, and primitive machine guns. Edward had a blowpipe that fired berserk, sleep, and rope darts. Shay has an air rifle that can fire all of those, plus firecrackers for blowing up gunpowder barrels and poison gas casks and distracting enemies, plus it has an optional Grenade Launcher with sleep, berserk, and plain ole fragmentation ammo that can take out whole crowds of enemies. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: None of this game's three legendary naval battles are particularly challenging, so any half-decent player with a well-upgraded ship can easily curb-stomp the living hell out of the French navy. Then a fourth legendary battle pops up on the map, and anyone who tackles that one without detailed knowledge of what they're getting themselves into will probably get their asses handed to them at least once, if not several times. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Shay's story argues against blindly obeying orders and criticizes the Assassins for their My Master, Right or Wrong mentality and the story suggests that the Templars are more flexible by comparison. Or at least, were. At the very end of the game, Juhani Otso Berg (who worships Shay), forces Shay's research analyst to join the Templars at gunpoint, proving that himself and the other Templars have learned nothing, or that their ideals have long since been warped since those days... similar to the Assassins, who have overtime become more focused on killing than their ideals. More glaringly, Shay himself seems to have forgotten the lessons he learnt in his younger days by the time he assassinates Charles Dorian. | |

GreyAndGreyMorality | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_445bc425 | comment |
Grey-and-Grey Morality: Both the Assassins and Templars are fairly morally ambiguous: The Assassins as seen from the perspective of the 18th Century Templars are factitious, unstintingly use criminals, pirates and mercenaries as part of their set-up (though as shown in III, Haytham's associate Thomas Hickey would play a similar role for them), and their alliance with the French during the Seven Years' War does cause problems for people living in the British Colonies as well as the Native Americans allied with the English. Altaïr's reflections of the ironies of the Assassins promoting freedom while blindly obeying and following the orders of a mentor play out when Shay realizes the implications of the First Civilization artifacts that Achilles is messing with, but when he expresses it, Achilles disbelieves him and the other Assassins out of loyalty support and follow him unquestioningly. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: No other Assassin's Creed game makes it easier to amass so much money so quickly with so little effort. For starters, every captured ship can be converted into cash straight away, with even humble schooners giving 750 pounds apiece. This makes upgrading Shay and the Morrigan a cakewalk long before the renovation feature is unlocked, which is the point where it gets ridiculous. Renovating buildings only costs a small amount of resources for a very respectable regular payday, and once you're done, chances are you won't have anything meaningful left to spend your ~35,000 pounds per 20 real-world minutes on (for reference: the most expensive Morrigan upgrade costs 25,000 pounds, resources notwithstanding and the most expensive upgrades need White Whale skin which is 20,000 pounds at the General Store). | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: The best weapons are unlocked so late in the narrative that there's little use left for them unless you deliberately refrained from exploring and doing side activities. The English percussion flintlock pistols can only be acquired after the main story has been completed. Altaïr's sword can be acquired before going into the final missions, but you need to complete the Naval Campaign to unlock it. This can't be done until very late in the story, and actually finishing the last set of naval missions takes much more time than what the rest of the story has to offer by that point. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The use of sea shanties in this game goes further into Artistic License than Black Flag since Shay operates as a Privateer and not a Pirate. Merchant and Privateer ships featured highly disciplined crews who sang a general chanting hymn and certainly avoided the songs played in the game during the 18th Century, it became more prominent in the 19th Century. This is based on records of seamen aboard these ships. Since there are no records of life aboard a pirate ship and it's safe to assume that discipline was lax, it was more a Justified Trope in Black Flag than in Rogue, similar to how [[Connor aboard the Aquila did not allow sea shanties. | |

Better Living Through Evil | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_69eb23fb | comment |
Better Living Through Evil: Well, they naturally don't think they're evil, but the Templars have access to prototype weapons like the Puckle Gun (which was too expensive to go into mass production in real life), an air-rifle that works as a quasi-grenade launcher and other goodies missing from the Assassin's arsenal. Ubisoft flat out notes in a demo that Templars have far more resources than the Assassins, which shows when upgrading the Morrigan. It's averted in the game proper though; most of the unique upgrades come from the Assassins Gadgeteer Genius Le Chasseur, which Shay keeps throughout the game, while the Templars merely supply some add-ons. Plus there's always the fact that Shay is still forced to raid countless ships and spend his own hard-earned money to actually apply any upgrades he acquired one way or another. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The Morrigan is a figure from Irish Mythology, a goddess of war, strife and sovereignty, often taking the form of a crow and at other times, the form of a wolf or an eel. In other words, a really good name for a Templar dreadnought carrying out its imperial mission of benign control by extreme measures, and a sharp contrast to the Aquila ("the Eagle") and the Jackdaw of the Assassin ships we've played before. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Most of the outfits you unlock by completing side activity sets have unique abilities, but the game doesn't bother mentioning this anywhere. The Templar Armor for instance offers increased resistance against ranged attacks, the Native Armor protects against melee hits, the Templar Enforcer outfit makes detecting Stalkers easier, the Hunter outfit gives better stealth while hunting animals, and the UPlay-exclusive Assassin Killer outfit always has Shay's gas mask up and ready. The devs apparently counted on everyone who plays Rogue to have played Black Flag beforehand, seeing how they omit some crucial gameplay hints, like how to deal with rogue waves in the North Atlantic. | |

Stealthy Mook: Rogue features a different variation of the Stalkers from Revelations. These ones lie in wait in various hiding places that Shay would normally use — haystacks, brush, benches, even rooftops from which they can air assassinate the player — and wait for the player to approach before they strike. They can be detected by ominous whispering noises, and activating Eagle Vision will display a proximity/direction sensor that allows the player to track them down and kill them first. | |

The other outfits, including the Templar outfits, only feature high collars. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me: The main reason Shay defects to the Templars. After being hunted and chased by the Assassins, George Munro rescues him and despite knowing he was an Assassin, gave him room and board in New York and had his wounds healed. He was criticized for this mercy by William Johnson, but Munro's kindness and the friendship of other Templars such as Christopher Gist is what warms him to the Templar cause. | |

Hazy-Feel Turn | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_76d167c0 | comment |
Shay's big issue with the Assassins. From his perspective, for a group which is built on Nothing is true, everything is permitted, they tend to be blindly devoted to following their creed and traditions. This means they've been stuck in an endless pointless war with the Templar over the Pieces of Eden for millennium. Worse, the common people pay the price. It also applies to him as the Assassins absolutely loathe Shay once they discover his Hazy-Feel Turn. The thing is, what did they expect after they tried to kill him? | |

Easy Level Trick | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6 | comment |
Easy Level Trick: The mission that ends in Shay killing Le Chasseur has the optional objective of not taking any damage during their duel. This requires a very specific sequence of combat actions like blocking, evading and so on if you do it normally, but there's nothing keeping you from simply shooting your opponent dead the moment the fight begins. Two shots from a decent set of pistols do the trick nicely and without all the fuss of a scripted melee battle. The same applies when fighting Chevalier de la Verendrye. Instead of dueling him on his crowded ship, simply shoot at him from the masts high above. When chasing Hope, simply run to the right of the elevator she uses and keep going. Eventually, you’ll reach another elevator to your left that will allow you to take her down from her side. | |

Never Hurt an Innocent | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_82384b1 | comment |
Never Hurt an Innocent: Averted. Until now, no Player Character, be they Assassins, Decoy Protagonist Templar Haytham or cut-throat Pirate Edward Kenway, could kill a civilian NPC without a desynchronization warning (Outside of post-game [Assassin's Creed Assassin's Creed], where it was a reward for beating the game). Shay Cormac is the first protagonist without such restraints, fully capable of using berserker darts on NPCs to attack guards in a suicide run and other varieties of Video Game Cruelty Potential that are apparently in-character traits with Shay. It should be noted, however, that you're only allowed to do this after joining the Templars. The game does discourage this by increasing your bounty level for each innocent person you kill, although like in previous games, innocent people killed by berserking enemies don't count as being killed by you whether you're an Assassin or a Templar. | |

How the Assassins managed to get their hands on this ridiculously powerful behemoth of the seas and its two escorts, which are immensely dangerous Man o' Wars in their own rights is anyone's guess, but damn if the battle isn't awesome. | |

Shay undergoes a major one after the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake and his role in it. Truth in Television, the earthquake unleashed a crisis in philosophy and religion across Europe with Voltaire wondering how it thoroughly refuted the thesis of Leibniz that people lived in the best of all possible worlds. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: You begin the game knowing the premise is about an Assassin-turned-Templar. Shay's Opening Narration vaguely recounts his past affiliation with the Assassins, and then your first objective is to kill an Assassin... It turns out the target is Shay's best friend and he was just practicing an assassination. The story begins before Shay allies with the Templars. | |

Villain Protagonist | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: As Shay is a Templar, this is a given. Furthermore, the Modern Day portion takes place entirely with the Templar perspective, Otso Berg wants to completely indoctrinate you into the Templar cause and discredit the Assassins by using Shay's case study and a rare example of the Assassins being on the wrong side. It's played with as Shay defects from the Assassins out of a desire to protect the innocent from the Pieces of Eden being misused. Also, his moral objections to the way the Assassins do things, but his lack of such objections to the way Templars do things. His final mission highlights this when he plans to start a revolution in France for the sake of Templar control. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: The Assassins are shown to have undergone this in the form of the Colonial Brotherhood and is used as a plot point so the player doesn't feel as bad for slaughtering them. They're starting out being shown as dogmatic and downright fanatical in their search for artifacts and hunting Templars over protecting people's freedoms and coldly brush off any collateral damage and the loss of thousands of lives for their purposes. Two in particular are notable examples in the form of Kesegowaase, whose excessive brutality and willingness to hold villages of people hostage the Assassins turn a blind eye to his actions due to not wanting to harm relations between the Brotherhood and the natives and the other being Hope Jensen who becomes a full on example of The Queenpin who controls New York's criminal underworld to produce considerable amounts of poison while her brutish underlings torment average citizens. All of this while declaring Shay a monster for betraying them after they tried to murder him. | |

Big Bad: The game has an interesting example of this trope. Considering you are playing as Villain Protagonist Shay Patrick Cormac, a Templar, and do battle with the Assassins, the primary antagonist of the game is Achilles Davenport, though he's portrayed as an Unwitting Instigator of Doom who has caused countless innocent deaths through a mix of recklessness and incompetence. | |

Foreshadowing: While going around New York City, you can occasionally hear two guards talking about unrest in the colonies, which may lead to conflict. The second guard in the conversation dismisses this as nonsense. When Shay confronts Chevalier on the Gerfaut, the latter states in French that this time he "won't miss." This foreshadows Liam telling Shay during their final confrontation that it was in fact Chevalier who shot him in the back when Shay accuses him of betraying him first. | |

Continuity Nod: In the War Letters and the Tablets, there are scattered mentions of the events of Assassin's Creed: Brahman, along with a file of Berg's recounting most of the events of the modern day segment. Melanie Lemay sends a e-mail to Mysore Tech stating that Abstergo is incorporating their technology, and the war letter has an Assassin grumbling about losing the Koh-I-Noor diamond. In one of the files, Da Costa mentions Abstergo insists Christopher Columbus is called "Christoffa Corombo", and she has no idea why, beyond something to do with Desmond Miles. It's because that's how his name was pronounced in Assassin's Creed II: Discovery. Achilles wears the outfit that Connor inherits from him following his death in III. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: Juhani Otso Berg believes that Shay chose the Templars because he wanted to bring Order and reject freedom. Shay joined the Templars because he wanted to save the world from Achilles' unthinking manipulation of First Civilization Artifacts and the other Assassins' blind obedience to their Mentor, and that one Templar, George Munro, disobeyed the advice of William Johnson to rescue him and show him mercy rather than kill him. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Shay's big issue with the Assassins. From his perspective, for a group which is built on Nothing is true, everything is permitted, they tend to be blindly devoted to following their creed and traditions. This means they've been stuck in an endless pointless war with the Templar over the Pieces of Eden for millennium. Worse, the common people pay the price. It also applies to him as the Assassins absolutely loathe Shay once they discover his Hazy-Feel Turn. The thing is, what did they expect after they tried to kill him? Shay himself experiences this. When he murders Charles Dorian he coldly implies that he has no problem kicking off a Revolution to counter Connor fucking over the Templars. Given how many people died, Shay is now willing to potentially murder thousands to advance his goals. Shay also comes to think well of the Templars despite the fact that their ranks include a slaveowner (Lawrence Washington) and an ethnic cleanser (James Wardrop), both of whom are regarded by Shay as "good men". | |

Ignored Expert: Shay has first hand experience about how moving these pieces are extremely dangerous and will cause mass destruction. The Brotherhood all but ignore him and even go so far as to blame him for all those deaths. The Templars on the other hand listen to Shay though at first it was more because Shay had defected than anything. Until Shay tells them otherwise they were interested in the Precursor sites for the same reasons as the Assassins. Berg as well with the higher ups at Abstergo. He constantly tells them what is needed to be done to stop the Assassins and strike when they are weak, and they continuously ignore him. | |

Sadistic Choice: In order to save the world from the unthinking manipulation of First Civilization pivots which create earthquakes and which had unknowingly caused destruction in Haiti and Lisbon, Shay must betray his cause and kill his friends which he's kinda stoked about. At the end of Rogue, Juhani Otso Berg offers you another choice — join the Templars or die. The Templars see this as a perfectly meaningful choice. | |

Cool Boat: Shay's ship, the Morrigan, which is smaller than the Jackdaw from Black Flag since it needs to navigate rivers and narrow channels. Special mention must go to the Storm Fortress, the game's Super Boss and worth every letter of the title. How the Assassins managed to get their hands on this ridiculously powerful behemoth of the seas and its two escorts, which are immensely dangerous Man o' Wars in their own rights is anyone's guess, but damn if the battle isn't awesome. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
The mission that ends in Shay killing Le Chasseur has the optional objective of not taking any damage during their duel. This requires a very specific sequence of combat actions like blocking, evading and so on if you do it normally, but there's nothing keeping you from simply shooting your opponent dead the moment the fight begins. Two shots from a decent set of pistols do the trick nicely and without all the fuss of a scripted melee battle. | |

Playing Both Sides: A rare Assassin example that is lampshaded by Shay. He asks Liam how is it that Assassins can be fomenting a slave rebellion in Haiti against their French Colonial masters while at the same time fighting for the same French Colonial Masters against the English, during the Seven Years' War. Liam shrugs and says that the Assassins are above national partisanship. | |

Irony | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Shay keeps saying throughout the game that "I make my own luck" however within the game itself, Shay's fate and actions depend a great deal on personal and Moral Luck. He would have been a street thug if the Assassins hadn't brought him in and later he had the misfortune to unleash the Lisbon earthquake by pure accident. He then nearly dies before being rescued by a Templar who saved him despite other Templars stating that Shay should be left to die. Even when Shay serves the Templars, he does so knowing that they would kill him if he chose to back away. Even at the end, after completing his main mission of safeguarding the First Civilization tombs, Shay gets sent instead on a decades long mission. | |

Shout-Out: In the fight with Hope. She injects Shay with a poison that stops his heart if he stops moving. Sleepy Hollow is of course one large one to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Seeing the covered bridge mentioned in the book is normal, but what's unusual are the large number of bright orange pumpkins scattered around, especially the one on the scarecrow at the fork in the road. Violet complains that the only reason the town is in Abstergo's database is because of that book. To Doctor Who, of all things, in the Abstergo Database entry for Albany. | |

Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: An in-universe example. Melanie Lemay from Black Flag is mocked by Violet at the start of the game for being a "Super chipper over-achiever". She's also constantly derided by Berg in retrieved audio logs from the Server Mini-Games. However, at the end of the game, it's revealed she's actually now a full-on Templar, and she offers you the Templar ring... while Berg pulls a gun in case you refuse. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Shay's loyalty shift might have been predicted by the Assassins if they noticed he's more or less constantly giving them low-level versions of this. His fellow Assassins always brush off his objections without really bothering to explain why he's wrong. Examples include: Why do the Assassins preach free-will above all but absolute obedience to the Mentor? Why do the Assassins support the French against the British in North America while working against the French in Haiti? Why do the Assassins endlessly hunt the Templars versus coming to some kind of accord? Shay ends up giving an epic one to Achilles after returning from causing the Lisbon Earthquake due to his orders. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |

Despair Event Horizon: Shay undergoes a major one after the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake and his role in it. Truth in Television, the earthquake unleashed a crisis in philosophy and religion across Europe with Voltaire wondering how it thoroughly refuted the thesis of Leibniz that people lived in the best of all possible worlds. Achilles at the end enters one that will not end until the arrival of Connor, who redeems and reshapes the Brotherhood. Berg's ultimate goal is to inflict this on the modern-day Assassins. He compiles all the footage Numbskull managed to gather to try and demoralize the Assassins by showing them how the Colonial Assassins once almost destroyed the world and it was the Templars who managed to stop them. | |

The problem is that this scene takes place in December of 1776, only a few months after the Colonial Templars could confirm that the Colonial Assassins were even attempting to make a comeback, and well before Connor truly loosened their iron grip on America. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |

Historical Villain Upgrade: Conversely, and in large part due to the game's Unreliable Narrators trying to push their agenda on Shay, the French colonial forces are presented as bloodthirsty terrorists plotting to attack British civilians with chemical warfare, and General Montcalm is described as a monster. The reality was... not like that. It's hard to say either of the two colonial empires engaged in this war were "good guys," but the French were most decidedly not vicious aggressors attacking the British unprovoked. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: The Morrigan bears wolves on its sails and figurehead, and its namesake most often took the shape of a crow, Shay is Gaelic for hawk and Cormac means raven, all birds with darker connotations and portents than the much beloved eagle of the Assassins. | |

Assassin Outclassin' | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_e2f7ab99 | comment |
Assassin Outclassin': Shay has to deal with multiple attempts on his life by Assassins. If they get the drop on Shay, they can take out ninety percent of his health bar in one hit. You can also intercept assassination messages in pigeon coops in order to stop Assassins from murdering your fellow Templars. Not only that, but lower level "stalkers" are one of the common enemies, kind of an Elite Mook. They hide all over the place and are annoying, not least because they often come in pairs. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: After killing Charles Dorian, upon learning that Connor's Brotherhood had pretty much undone everything he did over the course of the game during the American Revolution, Shay notes that perhaps the Templars should try starting their own revolution. The "Tablet" modern-day sidequest has numerous emails about Abstergo Entertainment products in development; specifically mentioned are "Murder in the Levant," "Washington and the Wolf," and "The Liberation of Lady Aveline." These are all levels on the (fake) level select screen that greets you when first playing Assassin's Creed: Unity. One of Melanie's tablet messages is telling an analyst they'll be studying Arno Dorian's history. The War Letters you collect throughout the game references various characters and plots throughout the later parts of the Kenway Family Saga as well as Assassin's Creed: Unity. One letter details the Templars finding the Mayan city from Liberation, along with Madeline D'ilse's application to the Templars. Robert Faulkner is the author of one letter, where he declines being captain of the Aquila, but states he'd be willing to be first mate. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: The final Epic Legendary naval battle. Fighting a level 5 Man o' War? Reasonable. Fighting a level 5 Man o' War in the middle of a storm that makes it harder for the Morrigan to navigate and doesn't affect the maneuverability of the Man o' War? A little unfair, but not at all impossible. Fighting a level 5 Man o' War in the middle of a storm and then having two other massive Man o' War arrive out of nowhere to back her up? Masochistic. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: The towns and cities of New York do not rest on an insane criss-cross of rivers. The real Hudson River is a fairly straight line. There is no shore a skip and a hop east of Newfoundland. There's just the Atlantic ocean. You get the Animus Database entry for the Northern Passage when going through a narrow channel on the north side of the North Atlantic map. However, that place seems to simply be the waters between Newfoundland and the North Coast of Quebec. There is the entire Labrador region, a piece of land the size of an entire European country, between there and the Arctic Ocean alluded to in the Northern Passage entry. Entering the River Valley gets you a database entry that talks about the St. Lawrence river, which is not at all represented in the in-game locations. The river in question seems to stand in for the Hudson river, whereas you'd expect to see places like Quebec, Trois-Rivieres and Montreal on a St. Lawrence map . | |

Fatal MacGuffin: Turns the trope on its head. At the end of the first act, protagonist Shay Cormack discovers that the MacGuffins being sought by the Brotherhood cause nothing but disaster. He spends the rest of the game trying to stop the Brotherhood from acquiring any more of them. | |

| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_ebb900a7 | comment |
Resignations Not Accepted: Neither the Templars nor the Assassins are going to let their members just quit. The Templars make it explicit in the oath that is taken when Shay joins the order, while the Assassins simply try to murder those that try. One interception mission has Shay stopping them from killing a former Brother who faked his death and retired to live on the frontier. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: All over the place. The berserk grenades especially seem to have been specifically designed to indulge the player's darker urges. The berserk status itself is worse than in Black Flag. In that game, enemies would run up to other enemies (or you), but otherwise they would just run about before it killed him. In Rogue, they can and will go after civilians if there are no enemies within their sight. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: More like Assassin cannot understand Templar and vice versa. Shay attempts to explain his reasoning to the Assassins but he might as well be speaking Martian since they more or less disregard everything he says due to his Templar associations. May also double as Good Cannot Comprehend Evil depending on where your sympathies regarding the Templars and Shay. | |

Player Character | |

Averted. Until now, no Player Character, be they Assassins, Decoy Protagonist Templar Haytham or cut-throat Pirate Edward Kenway, could kill a civilian NPC without a desynchronization warning (Outside of post-game [Assassin's Creed Assassin's Creed], where it was a reward for beating the game). Shay Cormac is the first protagonist without such restraints, fully capable of using berserker darts on NPCs to attack guards in a suicide run and other varieties of Video Game Cruelty Potential that are apparently in-character traits with Shay. It should be noted, however, that you're only allowed to do this after joining the Templars. | |

| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Minor case in the Templar Armor set, a suit of chainmail from the First Crusade that reduces the damage taken from bullets and other ranged weapons. The fact that any kind of reasonably advanced firearm, even humble black powder muskets, punched through this armor type with little resistance, was the very reason it became obsolete long before the game takes place. | |

Moral Luck | |
| Assassin's Creed Rogue (Video Game) / int_fe0de947 | comment |
Moral Luck: Over the course of Rogue, the Templars end up preventing the Assassins from accessing all the pivots and accidentally triggering further earthquakes, which makes them take on the heroic role in their conflict for a change. The problem is that this is entirely by accident since the Templars were fully intending to open the Precursor Box for the same reasons that the Assassins did, acquire First Civilization Pieces of Eden. Had Shay and the Assassins not beaten them to the chase and gotten the rare upper hand, it would have been the Templars who unleashed earthquakes across First Civilization sites. Likewise, Shay would never have defected either. Likewise Achilles ends up being a Hero Antagonist or Anti-Villain simply for doing what all the Mentors before him had done. Track First Civilization technology and unearth tombs. Altaïr tinkered with the Apple throughout his life while Ezio visited four First Civilization vaults in his long career and both of them tinkered with technology which was entirely outside their comprehension. It was Achilles' misfortune that the second occasion that it proved to be an outright disaster was on his watch. | |

Even Shay's grenade launcher is based off the very real hand mortar, despite appearing anachronistic. | |
