The Animus knows?

The Animus is showing us his life, we relive memories, not create them.

The aggressive vs stealth thing is down to full sync, there are limits to how much you can do in the Animus. Choices break those limits, intsant de-sync.

I think you dont understand how the Animus work: We are reliving, viewing his memories, with a degree of control. If we can make choices what stops anybody from rushing George Washington and kiling him? or killing civillians? or having Connor be a redcoat or a blue coat? or having Connor not be a Assassin? there are boundaries to that control. Genetic MEMORIES. Key word being memories.
