I’ve always been partial to the idea that the reason Mills takes the whole “honor” approach to trying to deal with Haytham is because the British Brotherhood still highly values what Edward did for them in the years leading up to his death. They know Haytham may be a Templar, but there’s likely a large contingent of the Brotherhood who would much prefer to see the son of such a legendary Assassin return to the fold rather than just be killed like any other Templar. We even see Mills offer Haytham the chance to surrender and promises he’ll be treated with honor if he does, and only gives him the sword when Haytham makes it clear he has no intention of surrendering. All my own personal opinions, of course, but I think it’s a decent explanation for why Mills doesn’t take the standard Assassin approach for dealing with the son of Edward Kenway.
Personally I think it was so that they could keep the surprise that haytham was a templar, because if he tried to assassinate haytham it would be pretty obvious
Also, don't forget that Connor is a BEAST in melee/hand to hand combat, so the game wasn't designed around too much stealth. You can stealth a lot however but the game is designed mostly, with action in mind. Prime example : cross the battlefield without taking damage. It is possible if you run from cover to cover when the enemies are reloading OR free running on trees to get to your destination. That would be the stealth part but it feels more like an action sequence. Overall it feels kinda like Splinter Cell Conviction. Stealth or all out war, it's your choice.
You can stealth the entire battlefield by taking the long way around the side to the back of the british camp. totally possible and definitely feels intentional
@@jakeharris1207 Yep, there are some ways to stealth it, your suggestion or parkour on the tree branches, my first playthrough, i went from cover to cover when there was a lull in the shooting. It is doable.
@@Kaijugan You can drink your fancy ales, You can drink them by the flagon, But the only brew for the brave and true... ..Comes from the Green Dragon! It's stuff from lotr
Yup! Right in downtown Boston. It's really cool. And right across the alley is the oldest continually operating tavern, The Bell in Hand. I lived in Boston for college and it's incredible. Coming from a place on the west coast it is so wild to be in a very modern city and on one side of the street you have a cemetery and church from the 1600s and on the other you got a Chipotle. It's incredible.
17:48 a really interesting detail I never noticed is that Haytham's left Hidden Blade is broken. There's a little piece of the actual blade broken off/chipped off. See, Haytham's left Hidden Blade belonged to Edward, his father, so there's a chance that it got damaged during the fight that took his life. Haytham's right Hidden Blade belonged to Miko, and was taken by Haytham after he Assassinated him (Miko is the Opera Target, btw). This is why you can notice that his left and right Hidden Blades don't look similar.
@@Ash-Winchester the free mason symbols and illuminati stuff was very noticable way back when the game released too, I think most of it was known but the symbol on Haytham's cloak is something you only notice knowing he's a templar
@@akz212 What I meant was that I thought I was the only one who was aware that the illuminati and freemasons are real secret societies before playing AC. I thought I was the only one who knew that they're who the templars are based on.
I think what's funnier is that there is a blatant Templar Cross on his cloak, staring the player in the face during the entire prologue. I never noticed it until the remaster came out, since when I first played AC3 on PS3 my tv resolution was too low to see it, but I noticed it immediately when playing the remaster on the PS4 years later. It really was hiding in plain sight.
@@Artuur-vr8jg I mean that's already a challenge in of itself. My bet is that Master Assassin gets spotted for some really stupid reason within a couple of minutes.
I like how you ended the run at the first failure of the run. most of the time when I watch 'Can I beat "game" without "X"' when they fail, it's reload checkpoint time. but when you fail, you just end the run completely. It's nice seeing this
the Shadows; without spotting challenge has to be pretty fun! since we get much more stealth options for example and its more based on it than previous titles. keep it up! i am looking forward to the video already!
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO TOTALLY BELIEVED HAYTAHM WAS AN ASSASSIN AND THERE WILL BE A COSTUME CHANGE LATER IN THE GAME.......AND THE MOMENT WHEN THEY REVEAL HE IS A TEMPLAR I WAS SHOCKED AS MUCH AS DESMOND WAS
I miss these old games though Mirage is a return to form imo but the old games are still the best gameplay while rough at times is amazing the story is great the way they have so many connections to one another i can keep going but you get the idea
Fun fact in the Mills boss fight against Haytham, you can counter his first attack and instantly kill him. this makes ending the fight in pretty much 2 seconds LOL
In the scene where Charles baits Braddock, he's supposed to be disguised which was mentioned somewhere but I forgot where and then it made sense. The devs probably just didn't want to make another outfit for Lee
I can't wait for you to do the rest of the ezio trilogy and ac 1 and a funny thing is I'm playing brotherhood as you are playing this soon to play the next challenge that you will be trying
When it comes to Mils being a part of the assassin brother hood and not attempting to assassinate Haytham and instead alerting him to the plan and giving him a sword for a honorable duel, he only does this because no matter what, he was gonna get clapped ez. He may have seemed confident, though he knew that the moment Haytham came down those stairs, he was too weak compared to this PEAK TEMPLAR in order to do anything
People rag on the RPG games for not being stealthy at all but even during the earlier entries, stealth didn't feel viable unless they explicitly desync you for being spotted or put it as an optional sync.
Yeah. I like that if you want to do stealth in the RPG you actually have to try without being told, because one thing can wreck all of your progress. I enjoy stealth in all of the games.
Honestly, I feel like when its a bug/OP detection that triggers an otherwise risk-free action, that could be on a tally. That way you could figure out where the actual difficult parts are
After watching your playing until I die video, I hope you do a full playthrough of the game, like a part 2 I love your long videos bro I hope you record yourself beating the game😂
If you played the non remastered version of this game i bet you'll get detected easily cuz there is an annoying bug that you'll get detected even tho you are fully incognito
It is so funny to me, when players nower days claim, that the old AC Games used to be stealth games... when this video proves, that "stealth was impossible" in many missions. And if you are honest: The actual stealth missions, where really awful, since you had no real options and only a few mechanics... I mean honestly, that eavesdrop on Washington was one of the worst AC Missions of all time for me.
I stoped playing AC after black flag, it has been years, and considering how AC 2 was the best game of my childhood, this video remindes me why i stoped playing AC all togeather. After AC 2 game was focused less and less on stealth, the only reason I played Black flag was, well pirates, and its fuckign awsome, but its not AC as far as im conserned. Curently I am replaying AC1 after more than a decade, and AC 2 is waiting in library and this video is such a good reminder of why i quit the series.
Im so sad the Ezio collection is next and I’ve been trying to go through that game without spoilers so I won’t be able to watch the next video in this series
Man, I remember 21-12-12! Me and my mates hid under our tables at 12:00 to “shelter” from the ending of the world lmao, we thought it hilarious, the teacher did not and just wanted us to go and grab our lunchboxes hahaha
tbh the mayan calader did indeed end but they never said the world would end that what people who discovered it just thought and made up the mayans did rly believe that just another era would begin i think that why some people who concider themselfs mayan's still celebrated instead what others did but yeah i like how ubisoft did put it in there game
i think the reason this AC isnt as stealth focused because in lore, Connor is resting comfortably at a freakish 6ft i think like 200 pounds. hes a behemoth of a man for the time and a brutal assassin with it
I was in college when the world was going to end. I even listened to the final hours of Majora's Mask. Didn't the world reset in Haruhi Suzamiya? 5:22 When I press X people die. 5:33 🤫. If you plan on fighting with honor, the Brotherhood is not for you. I have no honor. But I will not kill my family. I had a bugged mission before and needed to restart the mission. Just call me Ziio. Diio? KONO DIO DA! 22:42 Assassinating another guy here will also desynchronize you.
The one game in the series that got WAY too much hate when it released. Luckily people have realized the error of their ways and now look back at it fondly
The Mayan Calendar never "predicted" anything. Do you see any modern calendars about the year 4321? No, you don't. Because that's when the world will end. I'm still pissed at how we managed to Y2K AGAIN after only 12 years.
I still think if you fail because of a bug or ACs weirdness it shouldn't count as that's something you can't help especially on the mission you failed I got detected so many times of how weird the detection is
Wait...was it ever specifically said that the ship trailing haythem was the aquilla? I literally just played that part last night and never heard or thought about it
I'm not joking like 2 hours ago I was watching your Thomas I'm not pronouncing his last name outfit because it will come up stupid and voice to text and also I can't spell it but yeah I was just watching that and I was hoping that you'd upload another one of these videos and my prayers have been answered also when you say AdWords do you mean his father Edward or Edwards like his enemy in the game

Damm right ASSASIN BROTHER
Assassin's creed 3 stealth system is like a nightmare
It just mostly focused on Combat.
it also hardly works at all. AC3 and valhalla probably have the worst stealth systems in the entire series
And odyssey doesn’t have one

I love these man i missed them
I will never forget ubisoft for putting guards on rooftops on nearly every roof
Nice video & thanks for listening to requests....eagerly waiting for other titles from Ezio's trilogy in the same format 🤟

In the scene where Charles baits Braddock, he's supposed to be disguised which was mentioned somewhere but I forgot where and then it made sense. The devs probably just didn't want to make another outfit for Lee

I can't wait for you to do the rest of the ezio trilogy and ac 1 and a funny thing is I'm playing brotherhood as you are playing this soon to play the next challenge that you will be trying
I love AC3 but stealth is just not its strongest point lol
When it comes to Mils being a part of the assassin brother hood and not attempting to assassinate Haytham and instead alerting him to the plan and giving him a sword for a honorable duel, he only does this because no matter what, he was gonna get clapped ez.

Yeah. I like that if you want to do stealth in the RPG you actually have to try without being told, because one thing can wreck all of your progress. I enjoy stealth in all of the games.
not to mention with AC3, it has probably the second worst stealth system in the series next to valhalla. it barely functions
While that is definitely true atleast AC 3 was still a great game despite that while Valhalla was an absolute dumpster fire
I remember being spotted from 2 roofs over, while behind cover, multiple times.
The first assassination is actually done with his target's old hidden blades, which just adds salt to the wound
Honestly, I feel like when its a bug/OP detection that triggers an otherwise risk-free action, that could be on a tally.
That way you could figure out where the actual difficult parts are
I think its really funny that the "I don't have 20/20 vision" joke predicted a worldwide issue better than the Y2K and 2012 disaster predictions.
Only OG assassins creed players can like this 🫡

nah
Played brotherhood everyday for 2 years straight when I was a kid🤝
Relatable

13:07 "Connor, you haven't even been born yet--" caught me off guard 💀
When shadows comes out you should do stealth only with Yasuke…
I played a live gig on 12/21/2012… it was a good night.
revelations one of the best story narations in the assasins creed franchise . eagerly waiting
The same people that used to smack talk AC 3 are the same people now defending it after the whole AC shadows fiasco, oh the irony
After watching your playing until I die video, I hope you do a full playthrough of the game, like a part 2 I love your long videos bro I hope you record yourself beating the game😂
Its so badass when Haytham drinks out of the cup
I don't normally talk about things like that but assassins are always about respect and honor, they fight with dignity unlike templars
Should pick it up with Conor and see how far you get. But fun to watch !!!
This was the AC game I started off playing I got this game with the Xbox 360 back in like 2013 when on Black Friday waited in the line for hours 😂🔥🔥🔥
Haytham is definitely my favourite Assassin’s Creed character
You should try ghost runs, only killing the targets you have to kill while not being seen
If you played the non remastered version of this game i bet you'll get detected easily cuz there is an annoying bug that you'll get detected even tho you are fully incognito
Ac3 stealth is actually terrible, unless I just suck at it
it's not you, stealth in AC3 is not functional. Some people like to say it's just hard but that's not the case, it is literally bugged..

I honestly think the world did end in 2012 it's just not the end we thought and is taking a bit longer
Don't forget! Desmond is a carbon copy of Adam Sandler. So basically Adam Sandler saved the world in 2012.

already got spotted in the beginning "invitation sir"
Please do a ac brotherhood survival challenge
Love me some OG AC 😮💨
No one will say that the ending was same as it was in Assassin's creed Valhalla 😂😂😂
True
Could just do apart 2 that starts when you're Connor. 🤷♀️
is it me or dose Haytham look like Mike Rowe from dirty jobs
Yeah, when Haytham was meeting Lee for the first time and it was already half way mark, it was clear Connor would not even leave his father's nutsack.
I'm not joking like 2 hours ago I was watching your Thomas I'm not pronouncing his last name outfit because it will come up stupid and voice to text and also I can't spell it but yeah I was just watching that and I was hoping that you'd upload another one of these videos and my prayers have been answered also when you say AdWords do you mean his father Edward or Edwards like his enemy in the game
Ac 3 was the first game me and my brother played and we both accidentally,y killed George Washington 😂
Personally, I say you get to Connor on this playthrough and start again...call it "ac3 part2"
Assassins Creed 2 but when I GET HIT the video ends?
Also for the next video please involve party city
