![]() ![]() The game fast forwards six months later, and sure enough the Ratonhnhaké:ton chief returns to Connor’s home once again in a panic, declaring that William has acquired enough money to buy out the land. Connor then returns to his home, where he tells of his success to Achilles Davenport, Connor’s mentor and former assassin. Achilles warns Connor that he should have killed William, and that letting him live would possibly come back to bite him. The mission ends with William Johnson looking from a safe distance as Connor stares him down, taunting him as he throws one last tea crate into the sea. In Assassin’s Creed III, there’s a huge crowd cheering for Connor and the other Revolutionaries as they dump tea into the ocean, all while fighting several waves of attacking British soldiers. Historically, this event was a mission of secrecy, with the instigators disguised and using the cover of night to achieve their goals unnoticed. Assassin’s Creed III touches on historical events, but weaves them in such a way to involve Connor. After a handful of different missions, it all culminates with The Tea Party mission. A man named William Johnson is threatening to buy out the land your tribe is settled on, so Connor heads to Boston in search of Samuel Adams for assistance with the matter.įrom here, you’re given a set of missions to destroy a number of Williams businesses in order to disrupt his cashflow and prevent him from buying the land. Things began with the chief of Connor’s Ratonhnhaké:ton tribe coming to your house at the Homestead in need of your aid. Once I got my fill of the Homestead content, I moved on to the core storyline. You can even play checkers and pet dogs or cats! It was hilarious while in the middle of one battle where I stopped, pet a cat, and then went back into the fight. There’s plenty of hidden treasures to find, over two dozen types of wild animals to hunt (or fight), and more to do in the Frontier. And it’s just one example of how much extra content the team at Ubisoft is putting into the game. It’s a meta-game element that will probably seem boring for some, but to me was a nice diversion that extends the narrative in a somewhat meaningful way. Liberating forts in the towns will also lower the taxes on your shipments. ![]() You select where to sell and send your goods, and doing some of the side ocean naval engagements will make your naval trade routes safer to use after you clear any potential threats. This is also connected to other elements of the game, such as the naval privateer missions. You’ll also receive additional optional missions you can take on from these characters.Įverything you can do in Homestead is seemingly infinite in a way, as bringing on these characters benefits you economically, allowing you to sell goods, craft items, and more over the course of your playtime. Later on, I helped more people, seeing the town expand with someone skilled in woodworking, and a couple skilled in farming. Your Homestead expands with each character you help and recruit, eventually turning the location from a pristine forest into a thriving town. With the poachers dealt with, the woman offers up her hunting skills, sharing her surplus of kills, and setting up a home within Connor’s Homestead. Connor tends to the woman, then proceeds to hunt down the poachers, killing four of them and scaring off a fifth so that he in turn spreads the word not to step into the territory again. The first Homestead mission sees Connor helping a woman wounded by poachers out in the wilderness. The Homestead-specific missions involve Connor coming across a variety of characters in need of help that will eventually benefit the player long-term financially. While Connor finding and setting up shop here occurs during the story, everything else you do around it is optional. I first started out at the Homestead, a brand new feature that is essentially Connor’s homebase out in the Frontier area of Assassin’s Creed III. A bold statement, made even more meaningful considering that I’ve never been able to get into any of the past Assassin’s Creed games.Īssassin’s Creed III (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U) I got to see first-hand all the substantial changes that make the new entry to the series easily the best and a strong contender for game of the year. Well that finally changed last week as Ubisoft let us go in for a deep dive into Assassin’s Creed III. I saw an early glimpse of what to expect at the reveal event, enjoyed the new multiplayer offerings, and had fun sailing the seas. Yet in all this time, I was never really able to go hands-on with the core single-player experience. Up until recently, I’ve been exposed to Assassin Creed III in small doses. ![]()
