DORBZ - Assassin's Creed Unboxing

I got these heavily discounted Assassin's Creed DORBZ figures. Usually you'd find one or two discounted figures from the same set. This is the first time I got the entire set in the discount aisle.

DORBZ
080 - Altair (Assassin's Creed)
081 - Arno Dorian (Assassin's Creed: Unity)
082 - Élise de la Serre (Assassin's Creed: Unity)
083 - Ezio (Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations)
084 - Edward (Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag)
085 - Jacob (Assassin's Creed: Syndicate)

It's a bit of a let down that they didn't have Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor) from Assassin's Creed 3. They have Elise from Unity, who isn't even a playable character. That is a weird choice for this set. They could have used Evie Frye, Jacob's twin sister, from Syndicate.

I'm done.

Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her

This is one of the shanties that your pirate crew sing while scouring the seas of the West Indies in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. This Golden Age of Piracy sequel to the not-so-popular American Revolution setting of Assassin's Creed 3 (AC3) is actually a prequel, story-wise. You play as Edward Kenway, grandfather of Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor Kenway), the main protagonist of the past in the last game. When they announced this game earlier this year, they compared it to Connor's adventures, that, while his story was about a triumphant revolution, Edward's story is about a revolution that failed. Numerous previews and trailers showed Edward chumming it up with the likes of Blackbeard, Charles Vane and Benjamin Hornigold, among a few famous pirates from the 18th century. With that cast lineup and the setting, I knew going in this would be a sad and somber affair, but it was great seeing how everything unfolded. On with the review.

Blackbeard with Edward Kenway

Edward Kenway is less righteous compared to Connor or his ancestors (Ezio and Altair). Born to a farming family, he wanted more out of life. He left home and made a name for himself as a pirate as well as meeting up with the Assassin Order bureau in the West Indies. He was more concerned about getting rich than help out the assassins. If this weren't an Assassin's Creed game, this would be the best pirate game out there.
