User blog comment:Kabutsu/Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Spoiler-Free Review (Xbox 360)/@comment-5546424-20131110032755

Just finished the story! :D

I won't spoil much, but I'll say this, Ed's story was far better than I originally thought it would be, pre-release. I actually felt emotions while playing (i.e. Feeling sorry when Ed was at his lowest points, happy when at his best, and I sometimes even face palmed when he did something stupid...which was often). Though, I somewhat agree with Llama and Kab about his character, especially with regards to the first half of the game.

EDIT: I'll also add that Blackbeard and Adewale are some of my favorite side characters I've seen in AC, right up there with Malik, Leonardo, and Yusuf. Blackbeard's a beast, as I expected, and Ade has the "true friend" character trait which is nice to see.
