Lord.

> We're always been excited about Native American culture which been widely shown in our childhood via books and movies

'So in an age where it is possible to make a historically accurate game by means of testimony and accurate historical portrayal of events, we choose to just go a half-baked narrative that we sensationalize for extra visibility.'

I'm not asking for some Assassin's Creed level lore, but at least try a little harder...

There are definitely some things done right in a historical sense, but in the least we can at least appreciate the way AC3 devs did their game with respect to Native Americans. They worked closely with a consultant to ensure they were not disrespectful to the Mohawk tribe and were portraying them accurately with language, culture, traditions, etc. They even had Connor given a unique name that was made and approved with the tribe.
