After fixing all the bugs, I can firmly say this is the best Assassin's Creed I played. Story line is engaging, believable characters (as much as Assassin's Creed can be :P), all the side activities were helpful and fun! Didn't even start doing side missions, and it was already not boring when I was walking from mission to mission! (And there was a LOT of walking, Paris is HUGE). Also, it was set in the French Revolution, and I was studying for a test on it when the game came out so I can verify, almost 100% historical accuracy! Even though Napoleon was only a teen in the French Revolution, not an adult.
A few things I didn't like about the game though, is the fact all the character (even soldiers you were fighting) had British accents and most of them never even said a sentence in French! The only people that spoke French were the un-killable NPCs (all the Paris population) and the shop owners. I give this game a solid 7.5/10, a very solid and fun game, and I reccomand playing it!

OMG, I've been waiting for this game forever! So glad you liked it! 😂 I’m definitely gonna check it out! I’ve been studying the French Revolution, too! And yeah, the British accents were kinda

Uhm...why not put him in the game?
He was an influential and important person long before he became emperor. :P
I'd rather see it as a nice bonus that he is in the game at all.
It''s basically like meeting Leonardo Da Vinci in the earlier games; didn't have to happen, but it was a nice addition.

I still think it was a bit stupid to put him in the game. The point is he wasn't supposed to be in it at all, only after the revolution.

Actually, he was not.
Napoleon graduated from École Militaire in 1785. He served on garrison duty in Valence and Auxonne until after the outbreak of the revolution in 1789. :)

@Holmes, a young adult. Not really that big of a difference. He still was in the millitary school at that time anyway.

Just to correct your historical fault:
Being born on 15 August 1769, Napoleon was almost 20 years old by the onset of the revolution (1789) - in other words yes; he WAS an adult and not a teen.
By the time he proclaimed himself emperor of France (1804), he was 35.

So true what you say about the accent thing. Annoys the hell out of me too especially after they nailed it with Ezio (i.e. Ezio had an Italian accent and characters would throw a few words in Italian every now and then).

After playing the story I made the language French with English subtitles because i also found the British accents in France annoying.
