When sea battles where hinted in AC3 i was so hyped to see how theyre gonna develop it, due to next game being pirate-themed. Gameplaywise theres only one thing i want to say: I think I never felt so much for a character in an AC game, close to it maybe ezio in revelation, but i definitely related to Edward more. It is only after coming in contact with them, and on the way losing pretty much everyone of his friends, where he realise that he can have a much bigger effect on the world. LuffyĪnd while following his own set path, it just so happen that he comes across the battle between assassins and templars. In a way its actually a really basic MC motivation, kinda like Monkey D. He wants to become rich, while living the adventures life or die trying. There is no ulterior motive, no 'i do it for the greater good' or dead parents, like most AC games start. Theres no need if he had a rough childhood, is trying to avenge his dead parent/s or trying to protect the love of his life.(btw these welsh are just built different sheesh) What is there to know about a welsh man chasing a dream, being ready to go through hell, so that his live can be full of adventure, while managing to have wealth to spend for the ones he care.

We have not a lot of background information about, but is it really necessary ? Unlike most AC games, where the MC is always somehow connected to the Assasin Brotherhood, be it a parent or family member being part of it or has a connection to the ever going fight between assasins and templar, like in AC 3, Edward stands out.

What stands to me out is our character, Edward Kennway. Probably my favourite game in the AC Series.
