History Headscratchers / AssassinsCreedIII

*** The first DID translate those (What language do you think Altair is speaking?????). Untranslated bit were handwaved as a glitch. Here Mohawk is ''never'' translated. It goes beyond the occasional bit left in for flavors, as almost an entire segment is entirely in Mohawk.

** Animus limitations.

* How come people's clothing doesn't update to match the seasons? Boston is filled with people who apparently go around ''barefoot'' in the snow. No one wears coats or winter clothes.

* Why does the Animus not translate the Mohawk language spoken by Connor, his mother, and others? It translated Arab into English, Italian into English, etc... Why does it stop working for native american languages?

** Connor "fakes" being a Spaniard for all of five minutes in which he has to talk to a single merchant, and everyone who sees him immediately identifies him as native.

* Connor fakes being a Spaniard... while wearing moccassins, a uniform with Native American beadwork, and using a tomahawk?

** It was hidden under his coat and carrying cross is not all that big of a deal, anyway. Most people wouldn't recognise it as a symbol of a secret society. It's not all that unlike with the Freemasons who also were a secret organization in their early days, but their members still liked to wear signs that only a fellow Mason would recognise.

* ...So, in the trailer, why did the Templar redcoat have a chain around his neck with the Templar insignia? Aren't the Templars supposed to be a secret organisation?

*** Musket balls are ''huge'' and do enormous damage to organs. The chances are that a blast from point blank range would penetrate the entire body, although it would emerge at a lot slower speed in a completely uncontrollable direction. But if the enemy behind is at a point blank range as well, it wouldn't really matter much.

*** Thats its own problem, the bullet almost certainly wouldnt pass through his body and even if it did you would be making an incredibly risky move given how if it fails he would die.

** Good lord, three comments and nobody gets it yet. He's stabbing the soldier with the musket and then firing ''through him'' to hit the other.

*** Even if he is strong enough to do that the gun wouldnt be able to fire afterwards, it would be too clogged with blood and gore. The damn thing's misfired if they where slightly damp, I doubt it would be able to do much when clogged with a dudes bowels.

** Genetic Assassins are explicitly superhuman. Their behavior across all the previous games to date has been consistent with that, and we know as of ''Brotherhood'' that genetic Assassins are the descendants of deliberate genetic gene-splicing between Those Who Came Before and humans. Conner, as a genetic Assassin, is not wholly human.

** Remember, this is the same guy who, earlier in that very gameplay demo, freed someone from a stockade by knocking off the lock with his bare fist. Assassins are not ordinary people.

* Am I the only person who thought that this game should have been called Assassin's Creed Revolutions? It's delightfully punny and fits with the previous game being called Revelations. I mean, 3 hardly makes any sense considering that there have been 4 games already.
** The developers have said that numbered sequels are for games that introduce a new assassin and time period.

* Impaling a British soldier with a musket and shooting another one on the other side of him. While cool to see, that isn't how bayonets on muskets at the time worked. Socket bayonets are set off to the side from the barrel so you can still fire with a bayonet attached, but you wouldn't be able to stick your musket all the way through the target. You could shove the bayonet itself through a person, but how is the musket getting through? the barrel would just hit flesh and stop.

*** And as we saw in other works, the Assassin's robes stayed in use until the 20th century, with the last confirmed use of it being around about the time of the Russian Revolution.

** Most of the trailers and early gameplay show Connor in a snowy environment so he uses it as camouflage.

* Why is Conner still walking around in a white robe? There aren't priests or gaudy Renaissance nobles to blend in with anymore.
