"Connor and his Assassins... The American Revolution undid your Templar Business." Charles Dorian, December 1776.
"I am Shay Patrick Cormac. Templar of the Colonial... of the American Rite." "A war and a revolution have ended, and another is about to begin." Shay Cormac, same year.
Having just been to a history lecture on the Revolution, I just noticed that the ending of Rogue makes no sense considering that the American Revolution began in 1775 and ended in 1783. The Templars were far from being beaten by the end of 1776: Connor only killed three out of the seven main Templars he encountered in ACIII (I'm counting Benjamin Church since he was still a Templar at this point) and had only recruited the three Assassin apprentices from Boston. At this point the "American Rite" was still the Colonial Rite and there was nothing to suggest that the Revolution would definately end with the Assassins being victorious. I really loved this ending when I first saw it, but now I feel annoyed because it's abundantly clear that Ubisoft were too focused on connecting Unity to Rogue to fact-check the dialogue.

- Shay is never seen speaking that last monologue on-screen, so we can assume it's just a voiceover meant as finisher for the game. Charles' line can be interpreted as Connor still doing his thing, and Charles thinking that AR itself mucked up Templars' plans. But I do agree his line makes it sound less than clear for people that know the dates on the top of their head. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ Walkie-talkie 17:16, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
