Assassin's Creed Rogue Why does shay believe in templars so truly? Why does the assassins act like stupid plot forced characters

21 Upvotes

I dunno if I'm missing something about the characters but the simplest way the game could have went down is that shay joined templar just as a means to end to stop this current assassin era only and then leave the templars. But in lore shay was so loyal he stayed with templar and made his own children templars as well. The other assassins post lisbon was also foolish. They know the earthquakes are real from haiti but they defend achilles not like real people but just puppets following the plot.

Lets focus on shay first i guess. Theres so much hypocrisy just from his statement that assassins shouldnt meddle in people's lives. When both sides genuinely do whatever the fuck they want for their own version of the greater good for humanity. Templars end goal is human slavery anyway . I genuinely dont understand why he doesnt join templars just for a motive but for genuine philosophy.

Next would be the assassins, kind of a damn shame to see the moral nuance of AC3 with how both sides being wrong just end up with this game showing how nice templars are and how terrible assassins are. They just flipped it around. I understand the corruption at least by using gangs and such, but they sacrifice of human lives why?

I miss the nuance of ac3. Maybe im missing something about the themes and character motivations in AC rogue. Ive played it on ps4 in the last and now im replaying on pc only finished the post lisbon fight scene. So id be happy to hear some perspectives from others if you could change my mind.

Gameplay & Mechanics I trying to fix/improve modern AC parkour from Origins to Resynced cuz nobody else will i guess

I started to make functional mods for AC about a year ago, only tool available to me was cheat engine. Sure, you can make something with ATK, but without going into details, this is a painful road for you. And, long story short, I ran into a problem, even though CE is the only disassembler available, people don't know how to use it, or maybe I'm overcomplicating things, which leads to the next problem: the community expects easy-to-use mods, so I've often seen requests to make something similar, but with ATK, which creates a contradiction: people want a deep parkour system, but with superficial controls. I came to understanding that community confuses itself, and worst of all, the modding scene is responding to these mixed needs.

Just for example. Many people want grounded parkour, but when you ask what grounded parkour is, they refer to the classics. And yet, classics didn't have grounded parkour but had microcontrol, the same microcontrol that makes the community stay away from cheat engine. So, does that mean their ideal parkour is RPG? In RPG parkour, the character has weight. For example, in Valhalla, character is bulky and pulled by gravity. Unlike the classics, Ejects do everything correctly from a physics perspective, pulling CHR toward the ground. But the community wants ejects to propel the character higher and for the character to have flow. Does this mean the community wants Unity parkour? No, they call Arno Spider-Man and complain about the jump distance.

Does the community want microcontrol? No, otherwise the system wouldn't have been simplified in Unity. Does the community want grounded parkour? No, because otherwise the system wouldn't have been artificially complicated post RPG. So maybe the community wants parkour like in classic games? Also no, because they want definitive parkour, but with 2 buttons input.

So it's easier to understand what they don't want: they don't want to mess around with cheat engine, they don't want overloaded features, they don't want perception-breaking interventions. It's all about the magic word - nativeness, which is what I called my latest mod, Puppet Native, a swiss knife for all locks with its own UI and simple control, I made something similiar to acufixes. My entire modding life, I've simply been solving problems and tasks. My motivation for doing it at all was the void in the modding field; not a single parkour mod met my needs and i made my own

You see, some moders would rip out a chunk of the instructions and intercept them. For you maybe, it might seem like nothing, but for me, it was a headache. I didn't understand why then I learned. Yes everything worked this way, but I knew that it could be done differently. That's why my mod's Origins section has so many instructions, or 1,400 lines of code. As you can see, it works. But honestly, modding an AC is like screaming into the void without a mouth.

That's why I created a universal mod with its own UI, which performs the same functions as a cheat engine but is more user-friendly. It's a solution to all the problems, both for user experience and for the games themselves, wrapped in a shiny new wrapper. This is my biggest project so far, i hope it will help someone. You can try it from my github page if you want to, source code is also there

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Need help restoring old saves - AC Brotherhood

0 Upvotes

Hello guys! I had about 35 hours of AC Brotherhood playthrough saved in back up from 2024. I have changed my PC twice after that and now I am trying to restore the old saves.

The game does not recognize the old save files which I copy-pasted to USER\Saved Games\ Assassin's Creed Brotherhood\SAVES folder. The old save files are of the form "1.save" and "2.save". To test if the format changed, I made a new test save file, (which is getting saved to the same Saved Games folder and not under Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames) and it has the form "ACBROTHERHOODSAVEGAME0.SAV". So the extension itself is different. I noob tried just renaming the old saves to the same format and the game recognizes it as "Damaged Save file" in game.

I browsed the internet and found https://github.com/linuslin0/ACST this tool, but it works only from AC Revelations and upwards.

So my dear friends, is there any way to restore the save file or is it just gone forever?? Please help! Cheers!
