Acharky and I are on the move, looking to break-up a gang of slavers here in colonialist Boston. And even better, we have more people from The Order showing up to provide support!
You know… The Order! That one, yes!

I’ve already discussed this before with my Assassin’s Creed 2 Let’s Play, but it’s worth repeating again: While it’s fun to goof about the various outfits our protagonists wear and how they stand out in a crowd of civilians, they need to stand out. The player has to be able to tell at a glance which character is the one they’re playing as. As such, their costuming needs to be distinctive from everyone around them.
It is good fortune that we have a case in the last fight of this episode that demonstrates why this is important. Because Haythem was disguised as a red coat during the scene, I legitimately couldn’t tell which person on screen was him. For this reason, the fight grew muddy and unclear until I could reestablish who my main character was.
Perhaps if officers had a different color, and he was disguised as one, it might have made my life that much easier.
