Thanks for the tips!

I do understand the overall story, the ancestor-inhabiting idea is actually the entire reason I bought this one. Up until then I had thought the series was purely about being an assassin in different time periods.

There have been times when the black exclamation point is the only thing on my large map (in select) other than listening to Ben Franklin and that other dude talk or going to shops (after I spent all my chest-finding money).

Are there other missions I'm missing?

The main story isn't an issue, just not being able to detract much from them that is getting tedious.
