I like how Bellec said, "I've seen Templars put entire villages to the sword at the chance of killing one Assassin." He's mentioning his time in America during the purge lead by Shay. Such damn good attention to detail.
thomas brady tbh I interpreted that line a bit more sincere. Arno's father meant the world to him and when he got killed, De la Serre chose to take his place so Arno could heal. If he didn't take him in, Arno would've turned into another Connor
It's simpler. De la Serre was corrupt, yes, but he was not a tyrant. Times changed a bit in perspective. Not all templars arr tyrants and not all assassins are freedom fighters
@thomas brady how can u say that when a huge part of his arc in unity is protecting Elise from danger and helping her avenge her father, while at the same time taking down the corrupt Templars causing depravity in France? The fuck is ur problem man, ppl like u do anything to shit on Arno. If that's rlly how u interpreted Arno's character, ur deluded
Whilst I can't fault Bellec for feeling the way he did, I find that he represents the darker turns that the Assassins can take. The Creed, like any doctrine, is flawed and should not be followed blindly. Everything must be questioned, nothing can be held as iron-clad certainty. In his fanaticism, Bellec betrayed the Creed and the Brotherhood by murdering the Mentor and plotting to allow, if not cause, harm to innocents.
I respect your comment but the assassin s were noble before they became weak and allowed shay to ruin them, ezio and altiar would never have been so stupid
Every organization grows corrupt... Facebook started as a means of remaining connected to childhood friends and slowly devolved into something hideous. Twitter started as a means of sharing opinions and engaging in healthy debate... until it became a shithole. I suppose that is the central narrative of AC Unity. Its the moderates of Assassins (Arno) and Templars (Elise) against the Extremists of Assassins (Bellec) and Templars (Germain).
Honestly I saw him as a father figure but unfortunately in a way he's right, it's just his way of killing anyone who doesn't fall in line makes him no better than the Templars
Am I the only one who thought the whole “learning to sword fight from an educated man while in prison“ bit was very reminiscent of the Count of Monte Christo?
@@C-ex you can understand them or love them, not both . It seems you purposely misunderstand what the guy meant. His behaviour towards Elise made him a simp, don’t play dumb. At every turn he placed her on a pedestal whilst putting his Purpose, the assassin missions second only to her once she entered the picture . He got treated like a damn Dog by the supposed ungrateful and rude girl he loved and looked like an utter fool whilst at it . That made him a simp , a man with no direction that only chased a girl
Bellec was right about not trusting the Templars, but saying "to save the Brotherhood I'd see Paris burn" right after he complained about the Templars torching a village for the chance to kill an assassin... is the exact same kind of excess and fanaticism. I really wished there was more of Bellec in the game though, his past in the American Colonies was worth exploring more and his crude and no BS personality is kind of irresistible.
From what I know, Bellec, like Germain, tried to reform the assassins to be more conservative way, but alas his closest friend, Arno, have different opinion than his. To be fair I dont know what happened next if Arno stop caring about his revenge and joined Bellec, while the Templars has successfully claimed their reformation and controlled the revolution. Beside, that assumtion could be happened had Elise herself did not exist, so eh...
I feel like Bellec could have been the final boss fight. AC Unity had such a potential. Ubisoft shouldn't rush with this game to release it as soon as possible. I remember when back in 2014 cd project announced that Witcher 3 will have 1 year delay, but it was worth to wait because they delivered the one of the best games ever. Wish AC unity was the same success.
12:05 Not sure if anyone noticed but a good nod to the ways of the Hashashins before Altair (or maybe Al-Mualim because of the 3 tenets) changed the ways of the creed! Love these little details!
Anyone noticed that Pierre has a lip scar like Ezio does? (although Ezio's is on the opposite side). Though his scar seems to also extend to his cheek in some parts, though i'm not sure.
@@Mikeh2077 Bellec was using them to justify his own fanatical actions but he was unaware of or chose to ignore the context of them. 1: Altair was forced to kill Al Mualim because he became corrupted by the Apple's powers and turned away from the Creed to subjugate the world, then later do the same to Abbas because he usurped Altair and corrupted the Brotherhood around his own selfishness and spite. 2 and Brotherhood: Ezio reformed the Assassins after his uncle's death and directed them from a platform of love and passion for humanity and its varied differences. 3: The Colonial Brotherhood fell largely due to arrogance, complacency and inability to consider if they were wrong. Connor thus reformed it into one that soldiered on but always questioned and reflected on what it did. The main point of all three is that Altair, Ezio and Connor made sure to keep dissenting voices so as to keep leadership balanced and sharp, whereas Bellec was willing to murder anyone who did not share his beliefs or wasn't willing to pursue them to the same degree of fanatacism as he was.
Bellec would be a way more interesting character to play than Arno Dorian ''Ooh help me two fathers died and I only care about one'' Bellec in my eyes has a better voice actor and seems to care more about things happening around him to.

He should have been the main villain, considering he is right. Most of the time the Assassins create more problems than they solve. And Templar ideology is too radically opposed to the assassins to ever ally long-term or resolve there war peacefully. And Arno should have had a better argument against him.

+Gr8 M8 I'm usually really good at identifying voice actors and I thought for sure it was the same person...but somehow, it is a different voice actor.
How I admired this character! And do you know what I admired? Firmness of beliefs. Let this, to some extent, can be called fanaticism, which Arno casually hints at at the end of the game, explaining his understanding of the Credo, but I do not agree. For me, it is precisely the firmness of beliefs and faith in something. And this is really admirable. Especially when you have your own beliefs, but you don't have the same steel balls to act and do everything in order to embody them and follow them. Just like Belleс
Bellec failed to question the creed upon what was presented first and foremost. As a result, he killed everybody who didn’t agree with him. Fanaticism.
Personally, I would prefer to try and negotiate with Bellec. He's a fanatic, but Templars have managed to make use of those in the past. Besides, they say even the most fanatic of men can be be bought with the right price.
You commented this a year ago, I just played this game a year ago and had no glitches. I'm sure they patched most of not all. I feel as you just say that just to say it
Oh my gosh.. I noticed something about Bellec. You remember how corrupt Abbas was. You remember how he wanted to "Take the brotherhood to new heights." Bellec is the same as Abbas. Altair killed that bastard and Arno took down Bellec. Good riddance.
thomas brady I like to think that the one that ordered Monsieur De la Serre's death was Shay Patrick Cormac, as far as we know he didn't leave Europe and for understandable reasons he wouldn't want to make peace with the assassins
Bellec wanted what was best for the Assassins but he was thinking too much like an anarchist. He even said "I'd burn Paris to save the Brotherhood". He would kill anyone that is related to the Templars, even if they didn't know they were working for Templars, or just keeping order without harming innocents.
@@Elemento0420 Trusting of Templars never brought any good. Especially if Shay Cormac basically indirectly started the French Revolution out of spite of what Connor did.
Mirabeau and De la Serre were weak and short sighted, believing anyone from Louis' court could replace him, when everyone at that time was more corrupt than him. As long as it is the weak willed who make treaties, Bellec will be right. It should have been Connor and Haytham. They understood. They were strong.
+I Control My Fate I thought that too until I looked up the voice actors. Blackbeard was voiced by Mark Bonnar and Bellec was voiced by Anthony Lemke. I'm usually good with identifying voices and I was shocked that these two characters weren't by the same actor. (Looks like neither of them played Woods from Black Ops--that was James Burns.)
The animus translate all the dialogue for the user to understand. It is explained that the accent and some italians words were a problem in the animus, in unity time with a more modern animus, they fix that. That was the explanation in game at least.
The false Italian-English dialogue worked for what it was. Ubisoft were open about having tried the same for France and it apparently sounded terrible. Half the voice cast couldn't keep it consistent and the other half couldn't act as broadly while being forced to do it. That's why they went for the English accents.
It's not a "cop out" because stuff like this has happened since AC1, or don't you remember that Altaïr sounded American? The simple explanation is that it's the Animus translating stuff.

He have my sympathy because Bellec scared Templar how they torture people when he was boy or young age. That why he join the Brotherhood and eliminate whole Templars.
Dude, the whole 'pisspot' thing felt more forced than trying to make Fetch happen and it practically ruined this character for me because it felt like the writers were trying way to hard to make a shallow character deep and interesting
I like how Bellec said, "I've seen Templars put entire villages to the sword at the chance of killing one Assassin." He's mentioning his time in America during the purge lead by Shay. Such damn good attention to detail.
