Re: Shay/Hope - angry sex

[(Anonymous)]

For spoiler!anon it was that they made me, the player, kill one of my favourite characters. I loved Adé from the beginning, and I liked Shay, and the game forcing me to kill him was so jarring for me - yeah, maybe in a narrarive sense a logical conclusion and better than having him dismissed from the continuity, but on a personal level I'd have preferred that over having to kill him. If he had been killed by another character, or by Shay while I was playing as someone else, I'd have been mad but I could get over it. Like this it leaves a really bitter taste though, and I'm not imressed by how Ubi handled his death at all. Can't say I didn't see it coming seeing how the game is based on a Templar perspective and the Assassins are the enemy, but I can't help but think having the player as Shay kill Adé, of all people, was unnecessarily harsh.

Thank you for the replies :-)

I can totally understand why killing Adé was upsetting and I meant no offense to anybody. I am just curious because to me at least his death was less upsetting than Haytham's in ACIII and not one of my complaints with the game.

Maybe it's because it wasn't patricide or felt as horribly wasteful to me (god, how I wanted to smack both Kenway Sr. and Jr.), but I appreciated it. Not that I wouldn't have preferred a happy ending, I am a sucker for it but to me at least it would be worse if he just disappeared of the annals of history. Especially as it to me would seem queer for an AC character of Adé's skill, knowledge and importance to not be included in a game set in the the colonies during the seven year war.

And I liked the execution of it. It felt like natural culmination to Shay's story.

I liked the regard Shay still had for Adé; and doesn't that say something about the man? How he despite Shay's extreme disillusionment with the order still instilled respect and almost reverence in him. Shay is almost begging Adé to absolve/forgive him. I liked the way Adé stayed true to his beliefs to the end and did not waver. The expression on Shay's face when Adé accuses Shay of becoming a monster killed me. It was one of the true/last moments of doubts Shay had. I would have liked for them to have explored it further, but Haytham had to be Haytham and butt in.

But I suppose it comes down to personal preference. To misquote Faulkner horribly, I prefer to kill my darlings myself. It's something about the gut punch it gives that makes it worth investing in the storyline for me (and not just skipping sequences). But AC is a bit bad at balancing the happy with the sad, though.

To OP!anon
I totally hope somebody fills the prompt ;-D Didn't ship it coming out of Rogue, but your prompt totally made me. And it would so be Hope who would initiate it. She probably would have to hassle him a bit into the rough bit.
