NOW I'm getting the feeling that they're milking it. But they (Ubisoft) have me curious about what happens next? Desmond is dead and I don't know what happened to Shaun, Rebecca and Desmonds dad William. Anyways I really might just be buying for the new gameplay mechanics and the modern day portion. Edward Kenway is killed in 1935 by masked men in his mansion. Reginald Birch his friend takes Haytham and cares for him. Eventually he converts him to the Templars.
