Why wasn't he the protagonist?

They want to brainwash you with satellites.

He was always ruthless he threatens to behead the ship captain at the start

Because as per Animus rules you stop 'following' a dude once his DNA has passed on to his child. You saw it in AC2 when the camera stops following Altaïr and sticks with Maria's womb, same thing would've happened with Haytham after impregnating Connor's mom

>Make protagonist a mohawk tribe native American
>Don't whitewash history and show George Washington as responsible or his tribe's destruction
>Still have Connor join the rebels when he had no reason to historically let alone personally other than because a crystal ball told him to
>that fucking scene near the end of Connor looking at the Americans celebrating their liberty as the last British ship leaves and he turns to look at a slave auction crossing his arms and shaking his head
Connor didn't work because they wanted to have their diversity cake and eat it too. I get wanting Connor to be a native, but having him also be pals with GW is incomprehensible from a character standpoint. They wanted to show the bad side of the war of independence and the founding fathers but didn't have the balls to make Washington the villain he would be to Connor in anything but a dream DLC.

But Edward in 4 already has kids when you play as him.
As does Bayek

The bloodline that continues to Desmond is Haytham's, not Jennifer's; only the former is alive during Black Flag, Haytham is born after the events of the game. And even if he was, by then that rule didn't matter because the Animus was "upgraded" (read: they stopped caring about the lore) and anyone could see anyone's memories, which wasn't the case early on with Desmond at the helm.
Same with Bayek, by then it's whatever.

Connor being inspired by the rebels and their ideals when young makes sense but they didn't properly flesh out him being disillusioned with them. Also part of it was that the game needed to be markateble to Americans. They even cut the part where he kills bluecoats from the North america versions of the trailers.

his twist was kino even though i saw it coming a mile away

>that thumbnail
that fucking beam

>white guy colonizing some native whore and being right about everything
ubisoft would never make him anything but the bad guy

>Please ignore Rouge because it invalidates my point.
To be fair, they wasted Rogue. It could have been such a good idea, but they just made it in AC with a Templar reskin and switch-a-roo roles.

I don't even remember what his plan was. I was like 12 when I played this. What was their end goal?
In rogue though however. We actually got to see the consequences of the Assassins. Like in ACII you never batted an eye at Ezio working with thieves and running brothels but Rouge shows how that fucks a lot of honest people over.

>Templars Oath.
unironically would play it

>they make an AC game an AC games
