Ubisoft replaced the robotic hands on hip pose for Edward in this specific cutscene. Yes, it's an improvement. However, Edward will always look a bit uncanny in the new content regardless of the stance, mostly because we aren't used to seeing him with robotic movement. Still got a lot of work to do there Ubisoft. Don't stop, thanks.

This clip perfectly encapsulates the issues plaguing modern Ubisoft writing. When the literal writer is oblivious to how much worse the new writing is compared to the old, it shows a complete lack of quality control. Nobody internally has the authority or the standards to stand up and say something isn't good enough.

Here's a cool one. Did you know Blackbeard's famous line "In a world without gold, we might have been heroes" was originally much longer. However, during mocap it wasn't working naturally in performance, so the performance director told Darby McDevitt that he had 5 minutes to rewrite it. And so the final line, "In a world without gold, we might have been heroes", was created right there on the floor of the mocap studio.

You may have seen almost every Black Flag Resynced preview talk about the robotic RPG cutscenes with the new Lucy Baldwin quest, but you might not realize this will be the case with the main story too. And I worry this is just the first of many examples. In the original game, right after you walk with Blackbeard and Hornigold discussing medicine for Nassau, you buy the bell and immediately sail off to dive for the medicine. But in Resynced, they added a new main story cutscene where Edward and Adewale discuss different ways to acquire a diving bell. Now let me just say, the idea itself is GREAT. Having multiple ways to get the diving bell is a FANTASTIC addition to the game... BUT modern Ubisoft strikes again. Edward and Adewale appear like robots, and it has that same stiff RPG conversation style every preview already criticized in the Lucy quest. And if this is happening here in the main story, then I do expect more new main story cutscenes like this throughout the game whenever it branches into different approaches, similar to this where we have different ways to get the diving bell. Now to those who dismiss this criticism as mere complaining. Please I beg you, block me. You are not who I want interacting with my posts or videos. Demanding accountability is the only way to restore the series' past quality.

Finally, no more double assassination camera cuts! This mod removes those ugly, harsh camera cuts that happen during double assassinations, so you're no longer forced to look in 1 direction. It makes the animations feel much smoother, and it's a simple change that improves the experience far more than you'd expect. The only downside is that it doesn't support double air assassinations yet.

The answer is Osmosis. It describes Edward's passive skill acquisition through repeated exposure to Templar behavior. He sees how they move, how they fight, how they act, and after a while, it starts to become natural to him. So when he does those same moves himself, it feels normal, even though he never properly sat down to learn it.
