Me: The Assassin’s Creed Lore isn’t that weird Assassin’s Creed Lore: Henry Ford used an apple of Eden to control his workers and later he gave the apple to Adolf Hitler.
Henry ford was viewed favourably by hitler and it was mutual because of their similar views and wanted a city in Brazil and name it Fordlandia and ran it like a slave owner so not surprising
Most people don't pay attention to this stuff, and they don't appreciate it, but I do I was watching a couple of your older videos from a year or so ago, when I first discovered your channel, and the mic quality, vocal enthusiasm, video editing, pacing, just everything in the newer videos is 1000x better, I see the improvements, the videos used to feel homemade in someone's basement, now it feels like they're being made by a group of talented individuals in a studio Now, I can finally watch this hour long video without thinking about the improvements the entire time lmao
I appreciate that! I remember you being one of my OG subscribers back when I was way smaller! As for the audio quality, yeah it's improved, but I still am not satissfied at all. It's just where I live in the city. So many cars, people outside and background noise so it's hard to record. I had to use a lot of editing effects to make it sound managable, but it kills the raw quality :C
@@TheHiddenOne690 to me it sounds like you're in a music recording studio, which is the best sounding audio you can really get, but then again I'm listening just on my phone speakers and there's a fan in a room over so I can't hear it perfectly

fuckin facts... I hate that people literally do not realize we had seen Isu buildings in AC2 and have gotten so bitchy and whiny that the games had move too far away from historic accuracy while COMPLETELY ignoring the more fantastical or even out right sci-fi things in it...
@gigaman9548 I think it's more that the sense of mystery surrounding "Those Who Came Before" has been almost totally eroded with the newer games and lore. Especially since the RPG titles started introducing high fantasy elements into the plot. They "Isu" (lol) aren't futuristic/incomprehensible enigmas anymore. They're just bog standard gods, and the Pieces of Eden are their tools for spellcasting. Even First Civ architecture has changed since we saw the first vault in AC II. That vault looked like the interior of a spaceship. Now the vaults have borderline elvish aesthetics from fantasy RPGs mixed in. The new lore just makes things seem very incoherent and kinda off the cuff. There's no central narrative or themes driving the series anymore.
@@jones9048 I think you're missing something important. The reason why the Isu archetecture looked like that, especially in Valhalla, was because Eivor's visions of Odin's life were influenced by her cultural expectations, so while the events themselves were accurate to what was happening to the Isu at the time, names and appearances greatly differed. This is shown in Valhalla's Secret Ending where Ragnarok as Odin saw is shown as it really looked and compared to the Ragnarok Eivor saw. Everything's futuristic and not High Fantasy, and the Solar Flare is burning the world.
@@tylerfuller-battles8370 No, I mean the Isu architecture as seen by Layla when she enters the ruins and links up with the Yggdrasil device. Its design incorporates way more stonework than the vaults seen in earlier Ezio-era games, and it takes away a lot of the otherworldly feel. It's similar to the difference between the Dwemer ruins as seen in TES V: Skyrim and those seen in TES III: Morrowind.
@@jones9048 Huh? You mean the area around the Yggdrasil computer outside the simulation? To be fair, it is built into a mountain. And the Norse Isu are of a different culture, not all the architecture's gonna look the same type of Isu.
@jones9048 i get that, but the games been put for almost 16 years. If you think about it even in real life, you're bound to discover new information about past civilization. So in my point of view, i have the excitement of leaving new things of the isu than keeping it a mystery and being excited about that.
There are actually several crystal balls. The one in AC Valhalla and AC III remained in the native tribe’s possession. A different one was in the possession of Edward Kelley.
Pls do a video about various Isu. The isu gods in various mythologies, their counterparts, adam and eve, human isu war... All this are still shrouded.. Pls explain all these
I don't know how people still can't differentiate between apples and crystal balls, they look similar, but not the same and they have completely different powers The amount of people who think that Connor had an apple in AC III is astounding

I will say that one piece of Eden with lore and a HUGE impact on the franchise (one game at least...) that you didn't bring up, is the artifact that Shay found in Portugal, causing the giant earthquake that wiped the city of Lisbon from the map. These artifacts are confusing in what they do or were meant to do, as they seem to have no active effect when sitting in their rightful place, but as soon as they are removed, they crumble to dust, triggering a cataclysmic earthquake as a resault, which also happened when they found another similar artifact in Haiti. My own guess is that they were basicly meant to stabilize the planets geology, preventing seismic events like earthquakes to protect the Izu installations and so on in the past, pretty much putting all seismic activity on hold during their time... So when the cataclysm burned the world, most of these stabilizeres were damaged or destroyed with only a few still in place, and when they were removed, the stored seismic waves each could hold were then unleashed all at once...

I've always wondered why the Sword of Eden/The Blazing Sword is different to Excalibur in AC Valhalla. I guess the Sword of Eden was made as a power source first as it shoots electricity and light beams and just so happened to look like a sword as a symbol of power but Excalibur and the other swords like it were made as actual swords for combat.

Munro wanted the Trident to take it off the table, as he wasn’t acting in support of Assassins or Templars. The six teenagers whose lineages were the key to finding the prongs were able to commune with Minerva, who gave them a way to remove the Trident’s power and defeat the Instrument of the First Will member with ambitions to its destructive capabilities. This trilogy is what’s referenced in some emails you can read in Odyssey, when Victoria was looking after teenagers. Perhaps that’s why she was so weary about the Staff and its influence on Layla, she’d seen Isaiah with the Trident.
I just saw a comment on this video about the quality of your videos improving and you responded with how there's still improvments to be made with sound. I'm a filmmaker/videographer and I've got a few tips. 1. Use a high quality mic. Ideally a studio condenser. If you already are, then add a pop filter since that will help diffuse the vocals so harsh sounds like your "P" and the hissing from "S" will dimenish. 2. Close all doors and windows when recording. If your room echos, lay down some blankets. If you're abke to hang mkre blankets off the walls, do that. They will absorb the sound instead of it reflecting off the hard surfaces and back into your room. You can also fill up your room with large stuff so it kills the echo. 3. If you have access to proper software like adobe audition/premiere pro, record in a wav format instead of MP3. MP3 is compressed. 4. As a final, enhance your audio using adobe ai enhance. It's also known as adobe podcast. I use it for the majority of my projects and it's recovered really terrible recordings with echo and noise and enhanced it to male it sound like it was recorded in a professional booth Edit: Let me know if you need any advice or help. I'd be more than happy to help
Appreciate the help! I use a very good mic but the surroundings are why it's not as high quality. I use a Re20, I record with audacity and edit after the raw recording there. I think my only solution is soundproofing walls or foam pads.
@@TheHiddenOne690 hey, sorry for the late reply. For some reason I'm not receiving notifications from the youtube app. That all sound great! It definitely seems you know the problem. Buying the soundproof foam is an excellent idea and will help immensely. Worst comes to worst, you can always do whatbwe filmmakers did in the early days and record your audio in your wardrobe. The closed space filled will clothes will not only provide a quiet environment, but kills all the echo instantly.
@@Sliderv2 no. That was the animus forcing you to kill him how ezio killed him. Ubisoft would probably say something along the lines of “with the animus 2.0, it was to underpowered and underdeveloped to allow multi choice kills”
Well a more modern organization jumped on the name and soured it. A similar thing happened to swastikas. They were a symbol of peace and wisdom, but the nazis used it and now it represents all of the horrible things they did.
some how a Peace of Eden found its way to the rook islands. i don't know what Peace of Eden it was but i found this out a file with abstergo's logo on it in a Japanizes army bunker on Rook Island in the game Far Cry 3
The #1 reason I stopped playing AC is because in Black Flag they said Abstergo got DNA from Desmond's body after he died. That still doesn't make sense to me, if they said they recovered his body from the wreckage before his father and the others could that'd make more sense but it seemed like they didn't even try. It makes no sense to me that a father wouldn't want his son who had just saved the freaking world wouldn't at least try to give him a proper burial.
It seemed pretty clear to me that the assassin team was barely able to escape with their lives, as abstergo descended on them right after Desmond died. They'd been hunting them aggressively. I don't know if you realize how hard it is to dig out a corpse hidden in rubble, or even to drag a body when you are running to evade a pursuer. Though, a lot of people have been disappointed with the impotence of the modern story after Desmond died. Several games were just excuses to have a historical game, and the recent arc with Layla has been poorly developed; I really don't like Layla or modern day Basim.
What the guy above me said + the assassin order aren’t the most sentimental people Desmond’s dad is a complete A hole and pretty much the reason why Desmond even ended up with abstergo in the first place so why you’d think this man even had the slightest idea to lay the body to rest is beyond me
Genghis khans sword is most likely buried with him, which makes sense on why its location is unknown because absolutely no one knows where Genghis Khans tomb is located, which was done intentionally i believe although i never understood why.
His tomb was hidden so it would never be robbed. They already knew that it would eventually be sought after for treasure, and didn't want his rest to be disturbed. This is also why it's nearly taboo to look for it in modern Mongolian. Remember that only one tomb in Egypt was ever found moderately intact, and even it showed signs of an interrupted grave robbing.
Probably Ezio's fault with that one as assumably, he couldn't lock the door back, which made people able to take the apple from the library without having to go through what Ezio went through to get to it.
YOU know what would be awsome yet idk how can they implement it in the story? A hidden blade of Eden or a hidden blade made from Eden parts and materials that's so interesting but it a quick thought I had maybe it has to be worked OK in terms to create a could and intriguing story for it also a good and balanced gameplay with it 😀
I was trying to say the assassin's creed in my head and ended up thinking of the sith code instead. It made me wonder, if they were in the star wars universe, wouldn't the templars fit more with the jedi and the assassins with the sith? 🤔
Not really. Templars and sith both see power as a means to control; Jedi and assassins both saw the need for self control and moderation over power to allow for the flourishing of people. Remember AC1; the creed is supposed to be paradoxical, you have to really think to actually understand what it is about, as opposed to Altair in the beginning of the game, taking it at face value and making an arse of himself.
I don't think ISU equipment is on the same level as the ISU artifacts. We've seen a lot of ISU style gear that isn't really special, like some of the armor in the recent games
@nyarlat2609 It's an Isu artifact bow. It's in Valhalla and Origins, but it could be at least talked about. The Sword of Eden lost its power in Unity but was still a viable weapon for the player.
@@tylerfuller-battles8370 yeah true, just some of what she said just didnt make sense to me but i was never good woth riddles so in irl i would have been fked lol
I don't know why this would matter (not a serb myself), but Tesla was of serbian ethnicity born in the modern day Croatia village of Smiljan during the Austrian Empire (later the Austrian-Hungarian Empire)
I'd say the action scenes were enjoyable enough to warrant a look. Other than that, yeah, it wasn't great. Dialogue was subpar and even for a long time fan of the franchise the plot can be hard to follow. Just look for combat scenes on UA-cam or do some skipping on the streaming services if the rest doesn't interest you.
Nikola Tesla wasnt from croatia (if you want to go by country not ethnicity then he is from austro-hungary),if you go by ethnicity he was serbian.So eigher way you are wrong.He wasnt croatian by country nor ethnicity.
Who plays as deimos? Like seriously 20 games before A ROLE PLAYING GAME had a female main protagonist and sweaty men online refuse to accept Kassandra is the mc. Even deimos footage here
what i always hated with the sword retcons is that in AC2 the sword of eden 1 was heavily implied to be joan of arc sword and excalibur/sword in the sword and the sword of persues one and the same stating that it had a VERY VERY LONG history of being in vefy important leader events.
I personally dislike the Pieces of Eden. Let me explain. I grew up with Assassin's Creed. When the first game dropped, I was in my early teens. It was like nothing I've seen before. Instant addiction. Open world action adventure games were still new and rare enough back then that the mere existence of a world of this size and immersion where you could go anywhere, climb anywhere, blew minds. Not to mention really cool animations and back then awe-inspiring graphics and render distance. I personally didn't pay too much mind to the science fantasy elements. I've always been a massive history enthusiast, and to me, the ability to explore history was more enjoyable. Yes, these elements and the conspiracies stuff was interesting and fun, but I could imagine enjoying these games without them. Also not having as strong English as I nowadays have made me miss much of what was said to begin with. However, now that I'm older and mature, I've grown to dislike the Pieces of Eden. What this list is really underlining is making humans seem incapable of controlling their own fate or create their own success - a bit like what the Ancient Aliens show does. Every success story has a PoE behind it, every great inventor has touched one, and no one becomes a great leader without the aide of a magical McGuffin. They just take away our own agency and downplay what us humans are really capable of. In my opinion, the PoEs should have remained rare and be used sparingly by the writers. That would allow at least some human geniuses to shine on their own merits, great conquerors be masters of their own craft, and leaders and thinkers be moving the minds of others through sheer talent, charisma and strength of will alone. Now, the doubt will always be there.
While I do agree that PoEs are a little over saturated the humans having limited control of their fate is literally the point, the isu literally used PoEs to strip humans of their free will to control them, and as a fan of both history and mythology I think the PoEs are a nice way to blend the supernatural parts of mythology while also tying in the way some historical people seemed to also have mythical abilities
And yet people have pursued and succeeded in spite of the influence of the artifacts. Used correctly, they can reinforce the notion of humanity overthrowing their enslavers; this is the conflict between the Templars wanting to usurp that power and the assassins trying to contain it. I agree though, it's been way overused; they started adding these mythical dlc in the recent games, then they need to add a bunch of ISU stuff to explain the supernatural mythical stuff, and it gets ridiculously overused where each game has these things all over the place as neat gear or maguffins. I preferred it where a single item might be relevant to a few stories at a time.
Ratonhnhaké:ton’s adopted name is NOT “CONNER KENWAY”, JUST CONNER!!!!!!! Can you please stop using that Surname when he and other characters NEVER USE IT!?!?!?
Exactly, he never takes on his father’s name. Granted, he may use it as an alias for after the events of the game since we only have one comic for that period and that’s focusing on his Native side, but there’s no evidence he did.
It's his official surname. If we took it from historians perspective we wouldn't care how he felt about it. Is he son of Kenway? Yup and that also makes him Kenway.

I just saw a comment on this video about the quality of your videos improving and you responded with how there's still improvments to be made with sound.
I'm a filmmaker/videographer and I've got a few tips.
1. Use a high quality mic. Ideally a studio condenser. If you already are, then add a pop filter since that will help diffuse the vocals so harsh sounds like your "P" and the hissing from "S" will dimenish.
2. Close all doors and windows when recording. If your room echos, lay down some blankets. If you're abke to hang mkre blankets off the walls, do that. They will absorb the sound instead of it reflecting off the hard surfaces and back into your room. You can also fill up your room with large stuff so it kills the echo.
3. If you have access to proper software like adobe audition/premiere pro, record in a wav format instead of MP3. MP3 is compressed.
4. As a final, enhance your audio using adobe ai enhance. It's also known as adobe podcast. I use it for the majority of my projects and it's recovered really terrible recordings with echo and noise and enhanced it to male it sound like it was recorded in a professional booth
Edit: Let me know if you need any advice or help. I'd be more than happy to help
Appreciate the help! I use a very good mic but the surroundings are why it's not as high quality. I use a Re20, I record with audacity and edit after the raw recording there. I think my only solution is soundproofing walls or foam pads.
@@TheHiddenOne690 hey, sorry for the late reply. For some reason I'm not receiving notifications from the youtube app.
That all sound great! It definitely seems you know the problem. Buying the soundproof foam is an excellent idea and will help immensely.
Worst comes to worst, you can always do whatbwe filmmakers did in the early days and record your audio in your wardrobe. The closed space filled will clothes will not only provide a quiet environment, but kills all the echo instantly.
You forgot to mention that the Staff of Hermes holds the "Soul" of Loki's wife
I figured Hitler would have an apple but I never would’ve guess Henry ford of all people would give it to him.
I wonder if Cesare wore the Shroud of Eden in Brotherhood because you "can't kill" him by normal means.
@@Sliderv2 no. That was the animus forcing you to kill him how ezio killed him. Ubisoft would probably say something along the lines of “with the animus 2.0, it was to underpowered and underdeveloped to allow multi choice kills”
huh I never knew that the mythological bosses in AC Odyssey were bits of Isu tech...
I might start using them a tad bit more now
This is a good video
With how much water levels have rised the fountain of youth is underwater its stream diluted and barely noticed be the fish around it
Why do i stumble over such a Video Just now god damn this is great
why thank you!

Did ya forget about Edward Kenway, Conners grandfather who also found the ring... 😅😅😅
We live in a sad time when isis is a bad name cuz apparently nobody knows Egyptian mythology
Well a more modern organization jumped on the name and soured it.
A similar thing happened to swastikas. They were a symbol of peace and wisdom, but the nazis used it and now it represents all of the horrible things they did.
Well I mean its the name of a terrorist group so idk 🤷
@@brycekerr9090 I mean it's not fault that the way they write the name it's coincidentally Isis
It's an english acronym based on a name written in Arabic. Isis has existed long before them. Pick up a book
@ dont be a dick dude
Love the video
I definitely think the myth of the golden fleece came from a shroud of eden in the ac universe
When I was young there was only a magical apple!
some how a Peace of Eden found its way to the rook islands. i don't know what Peace of Eden it was but i found this out a file with abstergo's logo on it in a Japanizes army bunker on Rook Island in the game Far Cry 3
They must not fall into the hands of evil.
Was watching mojo plays by accident when I noticed the voice wasn’t the same. THIS is the video I was meaning to watch
I don't think anybody at mojo plays played ac
The #1 reason I stopped playing AC is because in Black Flag they said Abstergo got DNA from Desmond's body after he died. That still doesn't make sense to me, if they said they recovered his body from the wreckage before his father and the others could that'd make more sense but it seemed like they didn't even try. It makes no sense to me that a father wouldn't want his son who had just saved the freaking world wouldn't at least try to give him a proper burial.
It seemed pretty clear to me that the assassin team was barely able to escape with their lives, as abstergo descended on them right after Desmond died. They'd been hunting them aggressively.
I don't know if you realize how hard it is to dig out a corpse hidden in rubble, or even to drag a body when you are running to evade a pursuer.
Though, a lot of people have been disappointed with the impotence of the modern story after Desmond died. Several games were just excuses to have a historical game, and the recent arc with Layla has been poorly developed; I really don't like Layla or modern day Basim.
What the guy above me said + the assassin order aren’t the most sentimental people Desmond’s dad is a complete A hole and pretty much the reason why Desmond even ended up with abstergo in the first place so why you’d think this man even had the slightest idea to lay the body to rest is beyond me
Genghis khans sword is most likely buried with him, which makes sense on why its location is unknown because absolutely no one knows where Genghis Khans tomb is located, which was done intentionally i believe although i never understood why.
His tomb was hidden so it would never be robbed. They already knew that it would eventually be sought after for treasure, and didn't want his rest to be disturbed.
This is also why it's nearly taboo to look for it in modern Mongolian.
Remember that only one tomb in Egypt was ever found moderately intact, and even it showed signs of an interrupted grave robbing.
31:31 there is a Star Wars Easter egg the spells out Abstergo Industries in Aurebesh
i wish AC3 was the actual final
Arguably the most impressive artifact shown was the one from Atlantis that turned a human into an Isu imo
9:19 is Kurt Angle…tell me I’m wrong😂😂
So is the Apple #2 the same one Ezio found with Altair in Revelations?
I have a question, how the apple of Altair was discovered when it was hidden in the library? I am confused
Probably Ezio's fault with that one as assumably, he couldn't lock the door back, which made people able to take the apple from the library without having to go through what Ezio went through to get to it.
Very interesting, I’ve never played ac
YOU know what would be awsome yet idk how can they implement it in the story? A hidden blade of Eden or a hidden blade made from Eden parts and materials that's so interesting but it a quick thought I had maybe it has to be worked OK in terms to create a could and intriguing story for it also a good and balanced gameplay with it 😀
Wait am I being dumb? What or did I miss it, wheres the mention of Altair and his master having one of the apples of eden?
you forgot about the stone of scone, which is from assassin's creed fragments
link:
assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_of_Scone
what about the bow nodens' arc in valhalla
16:38 he was serbian
I was trying to say the assassin's creed in my head and ended up thinking of the sith code instead. It made me wonder, if they were in the star wars universe, wouldn't the templars fit more with the jedi and the assassins with the sith? 🤔
Not really. Templars and sith both see power as a means to control; Jedi and assassins both saw the need for self control and moderation over power to allow for the flourishing of people.
Remember AC1; the creed is supposed to be paradoxical, you have to really think to actually understand what it is about, as opposed to Altair in the beginning of the game, taking it at face value and making an arse of himself.
Didn't queen Elizabeth 1st have the diamond?
I dont think I saw the Noden's Arc bow in this video?
I don't think ISU equipment is on the same level as the ISU artifacts. We've seen a lot of ISU style gear that isn't really special, like some of the armor in the recent games
@nyarlat2609 It's an Isu artifact bow. It's in Valhalla and Origins, but it could be at least talked about. The Sword of Eden lost its power in Unity but was still a viable weapon for the player.
Dude, what about the blazing sword??
holy shitttt Philippines getting inlcuded in the AC Lore. I love it
Thank you people needed to be educated

They are definitely going to give trump a apple
I thought the sword of Susanou was a sword of eden?
i literally hated that sphinx's stupid riddles in Oddysey... get it wrong and having to re-start the quest, but also medusa took me a while to defeat
Tbf, that's how the Sphinx worked in Greek Myth. If you got an answer wrong, she'd kill you.
@@tylerfuller-battles8370 yeah true, just some of what she said just didnt make sense to me but i was never good woth riddles so in irl i would have been fked lol
I don't know why this would matter (not a serb myself), but Tesla was of serbian ethnicity born in the modern day Croatia village of Smiljan during the Austrian Empire (later the Austrian-Hungarian Empire)
Well, it matters in the sense that it's a fact. Modern day politics is the unwelcome factor that doesn't matter here.
@@contradrian8430you seem to be the only person bringing modern politics into it
I will say this again and again. Do not watch the Assassin's Creed movie. It is such a letdown. Spare yourself the trouble.
I'd say the action scenes were enjoyable enough to warrant a look. Other than that, yeah, it wasn't great. Dialogue was subpar and even for a long time fan of the franchise the plot can be hard to follow. Just look for combat scenes on UA-cam or do some skipping on the streaming services if the rest doesn't interest you.

Im glad you said they seemed like magic to humans as that explains every mythological aspect of the series. Ppl forget that.
Kassandra giving away her immortality like that made me sad and angry
Nikola Tesla wasnt from croatia (if you want to go by country not ethnicity then he is from austro-hungary),if you go by ethnicity he was serbian.So eigher way you are wrong.He wasnt croatian by country nor ethnicity.
Who plays as deimos? Like seriously 20 games before A ROLE PLAYING GAME had a female main protagonist and sweaty men online refuse to accept Kassandra is the mc. Even deimos footage here
I love you

Assassins creed infinity??
16:40 NOT CROATIAN. SERBIAN
what i always hated with the sword retcons is that in AC2 the sword of eden 1 was heavily implied to be joan of arc sword and excalibur/sword in the sword and the sword of persues one and the same stating that it had a VERY VERY LONG history of being in vefy important leader events.
Ava Kris Tyson has a price of eden.
The pieces of eden were so cool and mysterious before Ubisoft screwed everything up and made them give players looney tunes super powers
Hot take: the modern storylines for AC games are always absolutely horrendous garbage.
I personally dislike the Pieces of Eden. Let me explain.
I grew up with Assassin's Creed. When the first game dropped, I was in my early teens. It was like nothing I've seen before. Instant addiction. Open world action adventure games were still new and rare enough back then that the mere existence of a world of this size and immersion where you could go anywhere, climb anywhere, blew minds. Not to mention really cool animations and back then awe-inspiring graphics and render distance.
I personally didn't pay too much mind to the science fantasy elements. I've always been a massive history enthusiast, and to me, the ability to explore history was more enjoyable. Yes, these elements and the conspiracies stuff was interesting and fun, but I could imagine enjoying these games without them. Also not having as strong English as I nowadays have made me miss much of what was said to begin with.
However, now that I'm older and mature, I've grown to dislike the Pieces of Eden. What this list is really underlining is making humans seem incapable of controlling their own fate or create their own success - a bit like what the Ancient Aliens show does. Every success story has a PoE behind it, every great inventor has touched one, and no one becomes a great leader without the aide of a magical McGuffin. They just take away our own agency and downplay what us humans are really capable of.
In my opinion, the PoEs should have remained rare and be used sparingly by the writers. That would allow at least some human geniuses to shine on their own merits, great conquerors be masters of their own craft, and leaders and thinkers be moving the minds of others through sheer talent, charisma and strength of will alone. Now, the doubt will always be there.
While I do agree that PoEs are a little over saturated the humans having limited control of their fate is literally the point, the isu literally used PoEs to strip humans of their free will to control them, and as a fan of both history and mythology I think the PoEs are a nice way to blend the supernatural parts of mythology while also tying in the way some historical people seemed to also have mythical abilities
And yet people have pursued and succeeded in spite of the influence of the artifacts.
Used correctly, they can reinforce the notion of humanity overthrowing their enslavers; this is the conflict between the Templars wanting to usurp that power and the assassins trying to contain it.
I agree though, it's been way overused; they started adding these mythical dlc in the recent games, then they need to add a bunch of ISU stuff to explain the supernatural mythical stuff, and it gets ridiculously overused where each game has these things all over the place as neat gear or maguffins. I preferred it where a single item might be relevant to a few stories at a time.
I can break down all the pieces of Eden into two different categories: Ones that control minds and ones that don’t.
What about the piece of Eden that magically edited Wikipedia to make yasuke seem historically accurate?
Hi! I'm new to posting videos. I'm playing through every AC game and I can use some feedback on this whole youtube thing :)
Ratonhnhaké:ton’s adopted name is NOT “CONNER KENWAY”, JUST CONNER!!!!!!! Can you please stop using that Surname when he and other characters NEVER USE IT!?!?!?
Exactly, he never takes on his father’s name. Granted, he may use it as an alias for after the events of the game since we only have one comic for that period and that’s focusing on his Native side, but there’s no evidence he did.
It's his official surname. If we took it from historians perspective we wouldn't care how he felt about it. Is he son of Kenway? Yup and that also makes him Kenway.
Jfc bro, chill.
He adopted it to use when he interacted with Non-natives. Why do you think he's included in the Kenway Line?
@@tylerfuller-battles8370 He’s NEVER used the “Kenway” surname ever as far as I know
The assassins creed with the Native American will by far be the best one to me
