And at the end of the game, when Achilles and Liam get to the precursor site and that’s when Achilles goes “Wait, maybe we shouldn’t though.” Why wait until then? People died! Shay became a templar and turned his back on his upbringing. That’s why Shay turns into a templar, to stop the Assassins from going to the precursor sites. So, when Shay goes to Achilles and explains it, it makes perfect sense for him to say “Ah well, let’s go to the rest of them!” That’s the conflict of the game.

Shay goes to one of the sites and tries to take it, it disintegrates, and the whole city it was under collapses. Inside the book are coordinates to precursor sites. Moments before the death of a city ( Source)Īs an assassin, Shay kills some templars and takes a book.

He does his science stuff and we see the kite and lightning experiment and then save him at the end of the game. Shay meets Benjamin Franklin because they had to have a famous historical figure involved in the game somehow. Neither of them are good characters, and both are killed by Shay. Louis-Joseph is a self-absorbed, pompous Frenchman with a very long name, and Hope Jensen is an assassin that uses poison and misdirection to kill, how stereotypical. They work under Achilles from the third game, and also partner with an unlikeable pair of assassins, Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye and Hope Jensen. He has a close bond with Liam O’Brien, a fellow assassin. Shay is an Irish American and is an assassin during the Seven Year war. Well, it’s what we have so onwards and upwards. Which is the whole point of Abstergo Entertainment, selling the animus as a games system. Even though at this point anyone else could jump in the VR animus Abstergo is pushing out. Some big shot Templar shows up to lead the investigation and we get told to keep going with Shay’s story.

In a very plot convenient point, our computer gets hacked and we find the life of Shay Patrick Cormac, an assassin turned Templar. You play as another Abstergo Entertainment employee, who gets kept in a high-security lockdown effort by Abstergo. Rogue summarises the worst parts of the previous instalments, so let’s just get on with it. It had a higher than average reception, which I completely disagree with.

If you ask me, I do not know why they bothered. Assassin’s Creed: Rogue came out in November of 2014 as a mixed generation game due to being released alongside the PS4/Xbox 360 era.
