Assassin's Creed 3: Connor and Haytham Rooftop Scene

Haytham explains the Templars' goal..

[hidan]

I love that Connor actually asks and wants to understand the WHY of things between the assassins and templars

[davidjacobs]

Discipline without freedom is tyranny, but freedom without discipline is chaos.

[MassEffectFan]

Connor: "You could have killed me when we first met - what stayed your hand?"

Haytham: "Curiosity." (translation: You are my son.)

[wordtothewise]

Haytham: *Gives a clever, well-worded and thought out argument*
Connor: Yeah, but sour grapes.

[Hellotherefellowbrowser]

"The Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace"
That was literally what the Assassins seeked in AC1

[StrikerEureka]

this is when haytham converted me to a templar.

[andrewcharles]

Haythem was right. It's amazing how, even today, you can see how his words show the world as it is. I love everything about his character.

[darktrainerz]

Haytham is the embodiment of his exact words. Templars want purpose. He seeks and delivers it, unlike all the other templars who just went on a power trip. We need more villains like Haytham.

[jrosejoker]

Back when assassin creed have decent cutscenes and well written dialogue scenes that you would want to go back and rewatch again😢

[youeatcerealwithafork]

Whoever wrote the dialogues for Haytham deserves an oscar.

[iluvpoop]

We need more templars like Haytham. All the other ones are power hungry and assholes. 

[HARBRINGERZERO]

AC3 was horribly underrated. I’ve honestly understood where The Templars are coming from on more than one occasion but I’m an Assassin through and through.

[hellhobbiespro]

"i do not feign affection"

what a love from a father to his son even their path was crossed

[rami]

I can't get bored of that scene. Haytham was spot on in every word he said

[Trymie]

The one time I actually agree with a Well, Shay too...

[SomeRandomGoo]

And it was at this moment I realized both the Templars and Assassins goal will never be met. They each want peace with opposing ideologies. Neither are good or bad and I have decided that the Templars and Assassins will continue to play this game and I will not choose a side because either way I will be wrong. There is no such thing as true freedom or true order. In freedom there will be chaos and in order there will be tyranny. Order means government control over everything and freedom means lawlessness. There either has to be balance or a new way to unite people. You preach peace yet all you do is fight a war against each other. I am no knight and I don't need a creed. But I will fight for a better world without your silly feud and your flawed ideas of how things should be.

[JacOfArts]

There’s a second meaning to the A in Assassin and the T in Templar: Anarchist and Tyrant. Haytham is living proof that you don’t need to be a tyrant to be a Templar, that you don’t need to own and manipulate people to give them safe and happy lives.

[NBPUNSHR]

This scene defines a turning point in what you think is right, are the templars that bad after all? The story really plays with your mind from here on.

[HenriqueHCA]

Connor: ''But why you didn't kill me though?''

Haytham: ''Bitch, i don't know. Because you came out of me?''

[SteveThePCGamer]

and this is where i switch to The Templar
