ASS CREED 3 SPOILERS WATCH OUT

I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THESE TWO OK

Out of the entire game, I felt this scene was the most emotional. Sure, I was sad to see Ziio and Achilles go, but with Haytham we really got to see his relationship to Connor--how they got on one another's nerves; Haytham's loss of control; the almost-there, stand-off-ish father/son relationship; and how there was an unsaid "I want to make you understand" coming from both sides...

Maybe most of my attachment to these two comes from my own experience... My older brother and I had never really been close and while we tried to connect, sometimes successfully, things never really worked out. He died about a year ago because of his lifestyle and out of all of it, I cried more over the loss of what could have been.

Unlike Ziio and Achillies, who Connor had really spent time with, I felt that by the end Connor wasn't so much mourning Haytham's death, so much as he was regretting that things hadn't been better between him and his father.

Fun thing to consider: I don't think Haytham was 'killed' by Connor. Haytham knows that the assassins use their hidden blade. Haytham's OWN blade was taken OFF an assassin. He makes the clear choice to take his hand OFF connor's blade. I think he meant for Connor to kill him. And When he says 'I should have killed you long ago.' It's half his thought, the other half being- 'But I didn't.'

 

There's no way Haytham just got careless. So unlike him.
