All that stuff about Paul Revere's Ride? THEY'RE LYING LIES WHO LIE!

[alkonost_storm]

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IS THAT HE AND CONNOR HAD TO SHARE A HORSE. SO CONNOR'S CONTRIBUTION TO THIS BIT OF AMERICAN HISTORY WAS THAT HE BASICALLY WAS PAUL REVERE'S CHAFFEUR.

HE WAS (OBVIOUSLY) NOT AMUSED.

ALSO HE TOOK STRONG OBJECTION TO PAUL REVERE BEING TOUCHY-FEELY IN INTRODUCTIONS.

According to video games, everything we were taught in history was a lie. Leonardo Da Vinci was Toshiyuki Morikawa for one! I KNEW IT! I should be the next Dan Brown!

Though I find the Shadow Hearts II interpretation of Anastasia a little hard to swallow, not because her personality is wrong (she seems characterized more like a combination of Maria and Anastasia with moe sprinkled on top) but because they let an underage Grand Duchess run around Saint Petersburg unguarded in a time of political and social unease. There's historical inaccuracy and then there's just a plain lack of logic, guys. (That and I don't think she'd have been all that nice towards Japanese people given the 1905 Russia-Japan war...) Though Rasputin being Russia's greatest love machine and casually sleeping with hos without caring who knows it is very much accurate.

Though I know bugger all about American history (my history textbooks painted it as Americans being snotty and not good enough to play with us because we taxed them) so the edits Assassins Creed has made to it would probably just confuse me more than amuse me.

B-but her and the other Japanese dude are adorable together! D:

You know I've never read American history from the British side of things though there was a cutscene with the present day characters where Shaun explains the situation from the British side. One comparison he brings up is that King George took out the colonies to dinner and when he expected them to pay their half of the bill, they threw a hissy fit.
