The story wasn't bad, it was just poorly put together. I also do like Connor as a character, which seems to be an unpopular opinion but oh well.
Fuck it, I'm with ya.
Connor Kenway was the shits mcgrits.
I think it was the tragic Native backstory with his mother being murdered by the colonists and then getting revenge for it. A native getting justice was almost impossible at the time in reality. It's a very modern narrative that almost certainly wouldn't have happened like that at the time, but one a modern audience would really root for.
Also yes its weird how children are mythical creatures in AC, I'm sure 3 was the only one you ever actually saw kids running around (those weird kids who ran after Connor making strange noises)

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
