No, I don't. You were doing what - asserting that all the franchise's protagonists have been killers? As an argument to what? Crimson pointed out that a lot of people found Connor boring because outwardly, Connor was a very stoic person - the only emotion that obviously made itself apparent was anger and, subsequently, violence when he pursued his targets. Except, Connor was very gentle and sometimes even innocent when treating with the Homesteaders, which shows the duality of his personality.

All of AC's protagonists are more than killers. A "shoot first ask questions never" kind of character just conjures the image of the typical videogame protagonist. I'd much prefer a main character that questions his own actions and feels morally conflicted about what he's doing, which, thankfully, is what the previews are making Shay out to be.
