In the Ac forsaken book, Haytham actually wanted to kill the guard who said tasted of the forest fruits. He did love Ziio.

Connor is actually my fave assassin. He’s a different take on the assassin. He’s built like a truck, strong, fast, easily swayed by emotion, knows terrain overly well. I wish he and Shay had a go at each other.

For me the best part of Ac3 were the sequences of Connor and Haytham I wish there was more sequences of them together.

The Kenways Edward Kenway: The Pirate Haytham Kenway: The Templar Connor Kenway: The Assassin

2:05 "Do you even know where Benjamin Church has gone?" Haytham: *Surprised Pikachu face*

"A warning to you both!! Choose to follow me or oppose me and I will kill you." This line always gives me chills, he not only threatens George fucking Washington, he also threatens his father. The line deliver is so honest and sincere, in anger of course, its definetly one the most memorable moments of this game.

“There’s no way of knowing what’s on the other side” “We do now”

6:34 this still by far my favourite speach in this franchise. Haytham giving Connor a wake up call for his ingenuity, even if it didn't end up as he wanted, is a true father and son moment I actually like. This is also why I love Haytham. He's evil, but deep down, at least for Connor, he cared.

11:46 I love the look of utter disbelief on Haytham's face. He really did love Ziio and he even thought of how things would have been like if he stayed with her.

Not only it is confirmed that Haytham truly loved Ziio, but in a way he loved Connor as well. He saved him without hesitation even if he was an assassin, he helped him and wanted him to be safe, and maybe it's just my opinion, but he allowed Connor to kill him as well. It's a bit weird that someone like Haytham would forget that an assassin has a hidden blade and let himself open like that. He also wasn't surprised at all, it was like...he knew he would be killed or allowed himself to be killed. I feel like that was the only choice Haytham had. Either he would kill his son, or betray the templars. And ofc the words he said in the end that was proud of Connor. The line "I should have killed you.." I think he said it to not make his son feel guilty of what he did. Throughout the game, he was careful to not get too attached, but it felt like he was watching him all the time. So yes, imo Haytham truly cared for Connor. It would make sense, since he loved his mother.

Haytham actually seems like he would've been a good father and there is something so genuine and heartfelt when he says "he's my son".

The dialogue and the writing in this game is great. I dare you to play the game again or just look back and listen to the exchanges between Connor and Haytham and see their differentiating ideologies. That's what makes the dialogue and the good (bad) vs. bad (good) dynamic between the two so interesting. The Assassins and the Templars and their ideologies and beliefs are explored heavily in the game. Both Connor and Haytham and both the Assassins and Templars are flawed; no side is truly "right." That, I believe, is what this game taught us, and they teach us this most obviously, yet subtlety, with the verbal conflict between Connor and Haytham.

I always wondered if the reason Haytham was so critical of Connor's sailing skills, was because he expected more considering who Edward was

35:40 I can see a similar argument I would have with my dad and I feel like a lot of people can relate

Haytam the most beloved villain of assassins creed

3:16 Dammit dad, now I'm deaf

Love the fact when connor confronts Haythan about his Mother's death, Haythan's starts to visibly panic. It shows that new is a genuine surprise to him

16:41 Connor just having some fun with his father.

it's really sad when you think about it: connor became an assassin to help the revolution because he thought that he'd save his people this way; only to find out that they'd wiped out his entire village. similar thing would have probably happened even if he had sided with the templars. very tragic in that way

I honestly think that haytham and Connor made a good team!!

17:25 You can just see how proud Haytham is at his sons resourcefullness

For anyone interested, here are some of my favourite passages from the book, more specifically the execution scene (which doesn’t involve Haytham in the game.) And if you read it, you’ll see why I love it so: Connor, with his hands bound in front of him, shot a look of hatred at Thomas and, once again, I marvelled at how much of his mother was to be found in those features. But, along with defiance, and bravery, today there was also… Fear. “You said there’d be a trial,“ he snapped, as Thomas manhandled him. “traitors don’t get trials, I’m afraid. Lee and Haytham sorted that out. It’s straight to the gallows for you.” I went cold. Connor was about to go to his death thinking I had signed his death warrant. “I will not die today,” said Connor, proud. “The same cannot be said for you.” - A paragraph or so later - “Brothers, sisters, fellow patriots,” began Charles, and an impatient hush descended over the crowd. “Several days ago we learnt of a scheme vile, so dastardly that even repeating it now disturbs my being. The man before you plotted to murder our much beloved general.” The crowd gasped “Indeed,“ roared Charles, warming to his theme. “What darkness or madness moved him, none can say. And he himself offers no defence. Shows no remorse. And though we have begged and pleaded for him to share what he knows, he maintains a deadly silence.” At this, the executioner stepped forward and thrust a Hessian sack over Connors head. “If the man will not explain himself - if he will not confess and atone - what other option is there but this? He sought to send us into the arms of the enemy. Thus we are compelled by justice to send him from this world. May God have mercy on his soul.“ And now he was finished, and I looked around, trying to spot more of Achilles’s men. If it was a rescue mission, then now was the time, surely? But where were they? What the hell were they planning? A bowman. They had to be using a bowman. It wasn’t ideal: an arrow wouldn’t sever the rope completely, the best rescuers could hope for was that it would part the fibre enough for Connors weight to snap it. But it was the most accurate. It could be deployed from… Far away. I swung about to check the buildings behind me. Sure enough, at the spot I would’ve chosen was a Bowman, standing at a tall casement window. As I watched, he drew back the bow string and squinted along the line of the arrow. Then, just as the trap door snapped open and Connors body dropped, he fired. The arrow streaked above us, though I was the only one aware of it, and I whipped my gaze over the platform in time to see it slice the rope and weaken it - of course - but not enough to cut it. I risked being seen and discovered, but I did what I did anyway, on impulse, on instinct. I snatched my dagger from within my robes, and I threw it, watched as it sailed through the air and thanked God as it sliced into the Rope and finished the job. As Connor’s writhing and thank God - still very much alive body drops through the trap door, a gasp went up around me. For a moment I felt myself with about an arms width of space all around as the crowd recoiled from me in shock. At the same time I caught sight of Achilles ducking down into the gallows pit where Connors body had fallen. Then I was fighting to escape as the shocked lull was replaced by a vengeful roar, kicks and punches were aimed my way and guards began shouldering their way through the throng towards me. I’m engaged the blade and cut one or two of the sightseers -enough to draw blood and give other attackers pause for thought. More timid now, they at last made space around me. I dashed out of the square and back to my horse, the catcalls of the angry crowd ringing in my ears. - I mean ya’lll if you haven’t read any of these books I highly suggest you do cause they’re just pure art. Haytham’s death is also greatly different in the book; much more heartfelt and not as cold. Sorry if some of the wording is wrong or doesn’t make sense as I typed it all out by hand 🤣

Back when the writing in AC series was nice. Miss those times

16:25 favorite moment. 3 was my first AC, and I still love this game.

Looking back now, they unironically made Haytham the best Templar in the franchise. Every scene he's in is just pure gold. He knows what he is and what his goals are, but still has more to him like a love for natives and even love for his son, who turns out to be an Assassin. The sworn enemies of the Templars. Even faced with the choice of betraying the Templars and helping his son, or killing Connor to keep Lee safe, the madman chose option C and let his son kill him (Haytham had his hidden blade on Connor's throat but never used it. Can't tell me that wasn't deliberate). Love Haytham and I wish there were more like him

8:27 lore-unfriendly end of Haytham Kenway

Connor imitating his old man’s gestures was pretty funny

10:41 that moment i love it when Haytam Said * He is my son " and Connor Ekspression is Amazed after Haytam Said that

I remember them good old days where i just hunt deers and bears in the woods in the winter theme great game

35:46 Haytham and Connor being father and son

10:10 best line in the entire game!

I love how Haytham looks impressed when Connor said I have a ship we can use. 😂😂

I love at 7:27 that Haythem knows exactly who he is and he doesnt hide it. He doesnt put any false persona. No he tells it how it is

No phones in sight. Just a father and son bonding and living in the moment….with bloodshed

These are without a doubt the best parts about this game.

"Wait." - Connor's Last word

I laughed way too hard when the player pushed Haytham off the rope at 8:27. edit: AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 8:54, OMFG. I'M LAUGHING SO HARD

8:53 8:26 Haytham - Goddamn you son, are you did it on purpose?!

I love the interactions between haytham and connor

I play this game over and over... never bored.. My favourite Assassin's creed game..

The Kenways are easily my favorite characters in the series.

I really love haytham he might not have been the best father but he lived by rules

I really like haytham. He's my favorite character.

17:56 I bet Edward was smiling down on them.

4:56 lol that hit 😂

Seeing the relationship of Connor and Haytham really made me realize how underestimated this game truly is.

I like that Haytham can't say anything positive about Hickey, so he drops the subject.

7:20 Technically Connor isn't wrong on that albeit unknowingly. For when Haytham learned that Reginald Birch ordered an attack on the Kenway Manor, Haytham was so pissed that he wanted revenge, of course his half sister managed to kill Birch with Haytham's sword. After that, Haytham doubled down on his Templar beliefs, so much so that he vented his frustrations on Benjamin Church while punishing him. Haytham could have been a perfect Templar model, but his thoughts on being betrayed by Birch consumed him which led to his downfall courtesy of Connor. Juhani Otsu Berg explained as such in his audio blogs in AC Rogue.

Haytham is such underrated Assassin/Templar

*”A friend of my enemy is actually my son”*

Connor is the most misfortune assassin. His mother died a terrible death, had to kill his own father with his own hands, no love interest or wife, no children, Achilis also dies only connections he has is the community at homestead.

3:04 funniest scene ever to me when I was a kid 😂

i cant believe they made the first 7 hours with a character that isn’t the main

Edward must be proud seeing these two working together

Assassins Creed 3, Connor, Haythem and Edward are all my favourite characters from the Series and seeing everyone in the comments show Connor the love he deserves its truely heart warming. I remember back in 2012 playing this whole game and being addicted to every moment between Father and Son always looking forward to the next it was truely brilliant casting and writing and i miss the Kenway Family immensely

Anyone else realize that haytham is kind of like Altair? He never leaves witnesses...

I like how both Haytham and Shay are both Templars but have the skills of an Assassin

mfw I realize haytham is old and has connor do most of the assassin stuff because he probably cant

2:40 I burst into laughing when Connor just asked a person like he was a kid lost at a grocery store

I still cant believe you can defeat the son off Edward kenway

6:30 this whole scene really makes you question if the Assassins main goal is good. Haytham does make good points

When Connor suggested to Achilles that the assassins and templars could unite, Achilles immediately saw the futility in that vision. But Achilles knew that nothing he could say in that moment could dissuade the excited Connor, who had just reunited with his father. He knew he Connor had to see Haytham’s evil for himself. That’s why he didn’t object to Connor’s idea of a union. He knew Connor needed to see it for himself

I like to imagine that when Haytham was captured Connor let him get hit a bit longer than necessary

Love how the player let Haytham get punched a few times before intervening

Connor has the best outfit, and I’ll die on this hill🗣️

I always noticed that masonic insignia with the all seeing eye above it on Haythams cape. You can see it even clearer now.

IT SEEMS YOUR TONGUE HAS TASTED SOUR GRAPES WAS PROBABLY THAT GENERATION’S VERBIAGE OF “YOU’RE TRIPPING”

Haytham: We seek the same as you. Freedom. Justice. Independence. Also Haytham: It’s your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom. … huh?

1:58 Connor staring on he's fathers soul cuz he know he wouldn't do it

After reading Forsaken you’d think that Haytham wouldn’t try to manipulate his own son but....

8:27 savage

Damn, beautiful dialogues... only 50 minutes of screentime, which is barely a grain comparing to the rest of the game, yet every word is so meaningful. I've learned to love AC3 after I decided to get its platinum. The game is actually really good, I didnt give it enough value when it released

5:16 Haytham was trying to hide his anger when his son mocked him. :)

4:20 I was waiting here till the last to see Heytam being punished 😂😂

Haytham hidden blades are different than the original. In the remaster they're modeled to look exactly like Connors , in the original Haytham had two unique separate hidden blades with two different back stories behind them. Whoever idea to change them in the remake is corny as hell

22:48 Grandpa Edward would have been so proud 27:11 Great voice acting

Their relationship and chemistry reminds me of me and my dad ............

14:22 It is true Conor kept his word his father made no promises.

Still my favorite Assassins Creed game and characters. Connor is my favorite character in the whole series and I always had huge admiration and interest for him. This was the last great Assassin game for me too. Four was alright however I had issue with the “Assassin” characters moving forward and stopped playing after Unity. The mystery, characters, story, environments, music, And combat was always a joy in the past. I think nearly everything I love evolved to its best here. However this is just my opinion, many fans never felt the same but I am me and this will always be my favorite adventure within the Creed

16:25 Some may think that Connor is reckless, but for me, I see that Connor actually knows the warehouse and its surrounding, as well as knowing the directly that he's facing. But Haytham is also right, what if there's suddenly a boat or something passing by.

Haytham: Gives well thought out speech that clearly outlines his rational thinking skills Connor: yEa, bUt SoUr GrApEs ThOuGh

Haytham was one of the best written characters in this whole franchise.

3:33 Never you mind is Assassin/Templar Father Language for: I'M YOUR FATHER GODDAMIT YOU DO AS I SAY.

I love the assassins but Haytham makes a lot of good points. The Kenway family and Shay Cormac are my favorite characters

35:52 Haytham pulled the dad card

Haytham at the beginning of AC3: *A gentleman,that saves lifes and helps other, being a templar Haytham when we play as Conor: "F*ck this shit, I'm going to kill everyone I see on my way."

One of the most beautiful, sad and funny family bonds I've ever seen.

Absolutely loved this game. Everything about it actually but this is one of my favorite time periods so i could be bias. I also loved odyssey i know others didn't both games are very different but ancient Greece is my favorite time period so again that could be why. The game is just so beautiful the world the sea the islands buildings i love it so much

Haytham the only good templar who cared about his son and his wife Zio

Dont understand the hate, for me Connor was my favourite Assassin due to his style, I like him just as much as Edward Kenway.

Nostalgia maaan

Bruh haytham and Connor are the same when there angry just like edward the grandfather

Black flag though is my favorite not because of the time period but because of the story to see edwards change is one of the best written stories in assassin's creed in my opinion

14:23 Decoy: "You promised" Haytham: "And HE kept his word." Haytham had no plans whatsoever to let the guy live and going to spread word about them. That was really quick thinking with the loophole he found with the promise.

The moment haytham heard conner's mom died I can hear the shock he didn't know but it was seeing that he was sad and most shocked

Aw I'm sad, the whole haytham speech from him and Connors fight is missing

My son

I still prefer this game SO much more than Black Flag. Such a better story and result for one.

Like the banter between the two

10:42 the look on Connors face “dude you aren’t supposed to tell them that”
