Ubisoft blog update - Making progress in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
They can hide in the shadows and kill with a single blow. They can take down the toughest targets with a swift stroke of a hidden blade. They are Assassins – and when they’re able to perfectly plan and carry out their missions, they are virtually unstoppable. Which, of course, creates a challenge for the developers behind this long-running franchise: How do you build a believable and full-featured reward loop for the player when your main character can (for the most part) defeat anyone in his path with a few well-placed, well-timed hits? The good news: With Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, that challenge has been overcome. And it’s all thanks to the pirate setting, along with Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw.
