Rogue Storyline Doesn't Add Up? | Forums

Why does Assassin's Creed Rogue not add up with Assassin's Creed 3?
I'm confuse as to why things are different

In what way? Aside from Shay just being conveniently not mentioned anywhere in AC3, I didn't really see any continuity errors.

In the beginning of Rogue as Shay and Liam talks about Achilles crying over the death of Abigail and Connor.
Wasn't Connor just a kid at the time?

Not that Connor---Connor Davenport was Achilles' son and Abigail was Achilles' wife. Both died of typhoid fever.

Achilles most likely thought Shay wasn't worth talking about as it was his mistake that backfired on him.

That, plus Shay was halfway across the world with Achilles not knowing if Shay was alive or not to bother Connor about it.

Nope false, AC: Rogue didn't even exist when AC 3 was finished it's simple as that, it's writing problem. Look it up, that's why the AC3/Rogue thing is messed up so much. You can't just change something when it's finished so yeah, really bothers me the Connor/Shay thing. Conclusion, this part is JUST MY OPINION/Thoughts, perhaps original concept was the game was about Haytham ( which makes sense to me) not Shay and possibly was later changed. These are interesting topics.

Anyone who thinks that Rogue was decided around AC3 is kidding themselves. At best, this game started development in 2013, around Black Flag.

I refuse to believe that if Shay wasnt just thrown together, Achilles would have mentioned him to Connor, or Haytham would have mentioned him in AC3.

Abigail and Connor were Achilles family and he gave Ratonhnhaké:ton the name Connor almost as a tribute in memory of his lost son.

I see the holes where no one mentions Shay, but in all honesty if its not relevant to the events of the story at that point in time, is it worth mentioning?

If I was Achilles, I wouldn't want to talk about the "monster" I inadvertently created or the tragic events that transpired.
If I was Haytham, Connor already has ample reason to kill me because of Ziio's death and Charles Lee, I don't want to add crippling Connors mentor to the list of grievance.

HAHA! Hey! Just because I try to over look a missing detail in a game that's 3 years old, doesn't mean that I'm cool with it or that it doesn't annoy me!

It does annoy me too! Not as much that Shay wasn't mentioned in AC3, but that Shay vs. Connor, with Achilles and Haytham one either side, would have been an more interesting battle, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, when they were writing AC3, of course they weren't thinking this far ahead! Fact is, as any franchises in film, TV or video games continues, you will get plot holes, gaps and **** that doesn't make sense. It's inevitable.


Maybe some of it will be cleared up in Victory? For now, lets just wait and see.
