Date played: December 7th
Platform: PS4
Session fun rating: 8/10
I completed most of the side stuff that was available in Havana, including all the assassinations. I still have a small portion of the city to explore properly, but it's blocked off for story reasons right now. The city is pretty cool, but the story is where it's at. Plus, with all the money I made, I was able to buy the best set of swords in the store before even doing a mission.
I played through a couple of missions that are setting the stage for the story. I first had to recover the artefact I lost to the brawl earlier. To do so, I was tasked with tailing a couple of guards without being seen until I could find a fort captain. I then tailed him as well and stole his key to the room they hid the stuff in. I was asked to recover the item stealthily, but since combat is pretty easy in this game, I kind of just killed everyone and got my thing.
I then met with the Governor, the assassin's destination. He lives in a giant manor of sorts which even sports a jail. He's a Cuban that was raised in Italy I think and seemed like a cool guy, but it turns out he's a Templar. Edward doesn't seem to give two fucks about anyone's motives right now, so he played it cool and tried to just get paid, which he did. There was a sort of tutorial mission where I received a pistol and my assassin blades. The pistol is interesting because it can now be free aimed. I then showed off my skills on straw men...
Finally, Edward and his new Templar friends went to meet a sage to try and coerce him into giving us info on how to use the artefact. The item is supposed to allow a sort of "global vision" to it's bearer or some bullshit. Either way, our hero was to be an escort to the convoy once the man was taken. We walked through the city until ambushed by a bunch of assassin's, which we killed. It was a pretty fun mission, and now Edward has the Governor's trust.
