  I feel like Connor&apos;s monotone voice adds to the character: he&apos;s not a native English speaker, his time at the homestead is the first time he&apos;s spoke English consistently which is why as time goes by he starts to relax with his English too

  &quot;It&apos;s a good game, but not a good Assassins Creed game&quot; - a statement I&apos;ve heard about almost every game in the series since AC3.

  It&apos;s still a shame the epilogue speech was cut, it tied Connor&apos;s arc together perfectly

  Connor completely blowing that woman off when she asked if he needed something made me bust out laughing, &nbsp;he straight just said 🗿&quot;NO.&quot;

  You really see the difference with the improved game mechanics once you replay all the AC games in release order. Going on a kill rampage was the best part of AC3. Sometimes I would just stop halfway through a mission just to rampage and rack up a killstreak.

  It&apos;s a small detail, but a big reason why I love this game so much is how much work the development team went into researching and presenting the Mohawk, down to their language, customs, history, and government, and making their tenacious situation part of the plot. Millions upon millions of people played this game, and for a small part of it they heard a language that&apos;s still endangered and glimpsed into a different society that wouldn&apos;t play by the rules of the Assassins or the Templars, almost as if they&apos;re a third option by how isolated they were from the conflict. The fact that the Mohawk village does end up vanishing at the end of the plot, after everything Connor did to stop that from happening, is a haunting reminder of what would eventually happen to the vast majority of the civilizations and cultures that existed at this time period. That to me is important, especially when the developers were 100% willing to rewrite part of the plot out of respect for Mohawk religion while still tying their belief systems into the metaplot with the First Civilization. It&apos;s clear that a lot of care and attention went into this game to at least present an often looked-over aspect of American history as accurately and humanely as possible.

  There&apos;s a certain irony to the whole Charles Lee and Connor relationship that doesn&apos;t get brought up enough. Which is the fact that Charles Lee did absolutely nothing to Connor and their entire rivalry is based on a misunderstanding. He was mean to him as a kid and Connor hates him with every fiber of his being but the actual murder was done by Washington. Connor can&apos;t mentally separate those facts though because its too ingrained. Historically, Lee was one of the few Founding Fathers (well, maybe drunk uncles) that actually was sympathetic to the Natives. Indeed, the only person who actually wants revenge and maybe is justified in their fight is Lee.

  I like Connor. He has alot more personalty then people give him credit for, he may not be the most out going (espically if you compare him to Ezio). But he had personalty, he just doesn&apos;t tend to show it alot around people he doesn&apos;t trust or till he&apos;s more comfortable around them.<br><br>(also GamingWins for the win!)

  The artifact Connor uses to communicate with Juno is actually a first civ crystal ball not the apple of eden. It’s the same crystal ball we see in Valhalla in the Vinland arc and in Jotunheim when we meet Hyrokkin (Juno) at the end. An apple of eden would not evaporate once it’s achieved its purpose like this crystal ball.

  Honestly, this is one of my favorite games in the series. As you can tell by my avatar picture, I love Connor. And one of the reasons is because he is his own character and not another Ezio. Plus I love the fact that despite every painful moment of his life, he never gives up and keeps on fighting.
