    One of the things that's bothered me about this game is that a Native American (yes, only half, but he's acting pretty Native American) is seen as the ultimate defender of the colonies, when a large majority of tribes preferred the British. And it isn't exactly like America loved them back, either. It makes me uneasy. Is any of this addressed by the game's story? If so, I'd feel a lot better about playing it.

    In one of the conversations with your childhood friend, he mentions that  the tribes are backing the British, and Connor says that they should stay neutral.

    You can kill both side Americans and British. The thing is the Templars in the game are mostly(?) British.

    Yeah, they mention that several tribes in the Iroqouis Confederacy (including the Mohawk) backed the British, while the rest backed the colonists. I would say more but I don't want to spoil anything. Can't use spoiler tags because I'm on the mobile site.

    The truly fucked up part about this is that it's so difficult to see what an actual Native American thinks about all this.

    Here's your homework: find a Native American who likes to play games and ask them.

    I live in the New England area and I've never met one. Sad, really.

    I'm up to my armpits in white people though.

    @ChadMasterFlash: To be fair, except for the Native Americans, French, and Irish mostly all the characters are *technically* British.

    The game addresses it, yeah. They basically state that their particular tribe has always done things differently.
