Ubi just doesn't have any luck with revolutions. Attempt to make an Al-type character in one = crached and burned, boiling down to "WHERE IS CHARLES LEE?!" over and over, and ever-present 'MERICA feeling that bored the audience to death, with so many historical characters, some of them didn't even get a line.

Attempt to make Ezio-type character in one = slightly better, but it's just a revenge story rehash, with revolution pushed soooooooooo far into the background, you hardly even know it starts, much less that it actually goes on after that point. And this time most of the historical characters are in the background too.

It just worked better in Black Flag and Rogue, the first had relative freedom of being a pirate, and the second weaved the war and the characters into protagonist's story well enough too. Genuinely reminded me of AC2/ACB. Seriously, give Victory to Ubi Sofia instead of Quebec. Seems like they actually have a solid head on their shoulders.
