*** That doesn't make any sense from an economic perspective. The artisan needs to be compensated for both the raw materials and the time and labor their craft requires, otherwise they're losing money and there's no incentive for them to create. It would be like flour costing more than bread. Yes, you can use flour for many different things, but bread is still more valuable because it took more labor to create it. Gameplay-wise I get it, because it doesn't require the ''player'' to expend any additional effort beyond selecting the menu item. IIRC the bear rug doesn't require any additional ingredients besides the pelt, so they probably wanted to keep people from farming. But in-universe it defies common sense.

Added some supplemental info to the Charles Lee question.

** This is rectified in the Haytham novel "Forsaken." In this version of the scene, Charles takes off his shirt and ties it around his face before he confronts Braddock's column. I have a feeling that there was something lost in communication between the writers and animators when they were putting this part together. If you want a canon explanation, I would chalk it up to the Animus shenanigans. The real Charles Lee may have covered his face, but Haytham knew who he was, therefore the Animus shows that the man flinging mud at Braddock is Charles Lee.

** Even if he told the Clan Mother the messengers had been stopped right then, what was he going to do about the people already attacking? They were on their way to fight the Continental Army staying there as seen when killing the messengers, proving the Natives were hostile. By knocking them out he can prevent them from attacking and then later explain the situation. With Kanen'tó:kon however, he tried to talk him down first, but he didn’t listen and attacked him, almost killing him and forcing Connor to in self defense. There wasn’t that much more he could do.

** In the ensuing cutscene Connor clearly goes to grab Kanen'tó but he pulls away too quickly. The fact that Connor could neither catch him by surprise nor overpower him without resorting to lethal means can probably be taken as a testament to Kanen'tó's strength and skill. (Remember when, in another timeline, he very nearly killed King Washington without the aid of an animal spirit?) [[/folder]]

* On a related note, it seems hard to buy the "We tried scaling up our personal protective shields and couldn't make it work" excuse with all their other technology we've seen, including stuff that's persisted working for 75000 years. It just doesn't seem like it would be that hard to decide "Ok, we're gonna protect one or two of our most important cities with our most important people and we'll dedicate the resources to building the shields and power sources needed for that". Anything more concrete then a simple "HALP!"[[/folder]]

* Juno was more interested in conveying the emotional aspect of the story than the technical details behind the ideas themselves. Also, keep in mind that Juno would have a vested interest making herself and her people seem as sympathetic as possible to Desmond. It's probable that the full version of that story is much more complicated. [[/folder]]

* It's not like the colonists showed up last week and decided to have a revolution overnight. Chris Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, and Europe had been colonizing the 'New World' ever since. There would have been numerous opportunities for various tribes to pick up other languages, especially when a multi-national brotherhood like the Assassins exists. On the part of Connor's mom, she likely learned English during the Seven Years war and later passed that knowledge on to Connor.[[/folder]]

* I know this is probably a stupid question, but how could the Natives know and speak English so perfectly. I know normally this would be a case on the Aminus translating. But it's subtitled whenever they speak the language, and I doubt most of those people would know the language. Don't get me wrong I found it oddly relieving that Connor and them already knew the english language. But it does leave me to question, where could they of learned it.
