Angela Sucks at Being an Assassin

Hello! :] My name is Angela and I decided to make this little side blog to journalize my failures in Assassin's Creed 3 so everyone can find amusement and, well, satisfaction in knowing that somewhere out there, someone's worse than them at this game ((for those of you who have come here accidentally by looking for angelalovett, not to fret! I've changed my name to 221bbakerstreetirregular, you'll find the main blog over there)).

O_O Holy SHIT, Stephane.

He doesn't play. 

[angelalovett]

I...

I did it! IN ONE GO! That's it, time to rename this blog "Angela's Actually an Amazing Assassin."

[angelalovett]

Oh no

Someone robbed Stephane and now he's going to run through the streets and it's my job to keep him safe.

*headdesks*

So after faffing about in the Frontier and the Homestead for a few hours, I decide to continue on with the story and head to Boston. What a beautiful city! I think to myself as I press x on the WiiU gamepad to call my horse. Instead, Connor suddenly pulls out his bow and shoots a redcoat. I forgot that I switched out my horse whistle for the bow and arrow while I was out hunting and forgot to swap it back so now I have to run from a whole area and a half of redcoats who are basically like this:

edit: that went better than expected; after taking off like a bat out of hell and running through a cornfield to hide in the water, they left me alone. Bonus was when I got out of the water and a turkey walked up to me and warbled to be fed.

So I'm now on the quest to destroy some tea

And liberate some tax collectors and tea smugglers. Apparently when they say to disrupt the tea smugglers, it doesn't mean shank them in the back. Especially in front of guards who happen to blend in with the background and now want you dead. 

Edit: tackling them still aggros the guards, but it's not as bad as killing them.

Apparently chasing after people in Boston is frowned upon

I don't know their official names, but there are people you can chase around, tackle, and get a few pounds worth off them running around in Boston. I was in the middle of a courier mission when I spotted one and then decided, why not? 

Apparently they're best friends with the guard. 

As my target and I ran past a few guards, they aggro'd on to me and gave chase. Whatever, I told myself, it's no problem. I tackled the guy, got my money from him, and kept running. Well, apparently there was a Redcoat Convention in town because as I ducked into an alley way, about two squads worth of redcoats suddenly blocked my exit. After plowing right through them and getting shot and knocked down and me yelling at Connor to get back up and spending a few minutes frantically running through the city trying to get away, I ran down by the docks and jumped in a cart of corn and, well, managed to evade them.

Not so much a fail,

But after hours of running around and patiently sitting in trees and googling prey locations I've finally filled up my hunting map for everywhere but the Homestead!

Hunting Fail

So I've taken to hunting like a fish takes to water; I'm only on Sequence 6 and already made £33k selling all the furs and items I get off animals. Anyways, so I'm filling out my hunting map in Concord and I'm running along the river looking for a beaver when I spot movement across the way by the trees. I'm quite a ways away but I notice that it's a big, four legged animal so I conclude that the only animal it must be is a deer, which is the only other animal I need in this area. I stealthily wade across the river and hide in some reeds before making my way to the area where I saw the deer. As I get closer, I turn on my eagle vision and lo and behold, it's just beyond the patch of tall grass a few meters in front of me. As I turn off my vision and creep forward a bit, I realized that the animal I'd been stalking for the past five minutes wasn't a deer but instead, a sheep.
