None of the above:
I will like the seamless loading from land to water and back again most. (maybe this counts as "Caribbean setting")
I will also like the modern day open world and puzzle solving. (maybe this counts as Templar vs Assassin story... but I took the poll to mean Edward's story).
EDIT: but I might like the plantations the most.

Fun new stuff to do! Good work on the poll, Stab.

There are so many great videos that have been posted lately; just as a general note, I'd like to leave this poll up on top of the home page for a bit longer. It'll get swamped by new videos being front-paged soon enough, but the cute widdle poll needs some room to breathe first...

Haytham Kenway
Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor Kenway)

Speaking of polls, are we currently able to create them? Or is it still in the test stages?

I've figured out how to put polls in the forums and make them available for everybody. They actually look better in the forums than on the front page because your userpic doesn't get in the way of the results. There are still one or two bugs I'm ironing out.

I find it funny that a game that was borne out of the positive reaction to Naval Gameplay, nobody here listed Naval Gameplay as the highest selling point to the new game.

If we consider ourselves the most hardcore/dedicated of AC players and fans (which may not be the case), i just find these results surprising.

Is it because there are things we are looking forward to more? Or do we not care about naval gameplay?

For me personally, it is because there are other choices here that I am looking forward to more than naval gameplay. Yes, I liked AC3's naval gameplay and I wanted to see it more extensively and with free-roam opportunities. But to say that's what I like most about the next game, nah.

Pretty much every 'hardcore' AC fan (which almost automatically means everyone on this site), when asked what they miss most will say two things;

1) Lots of Main Assassinations
2) Freedom to play with them however you wish

That has been missing since AC2, maybe AC1.
TheHiddenBlade has always wanted that AC1 freedom, and now we're finally getting it.
The results don't surprise me haha

Can we do another poll? Subject doesn't really bother me, does anyone have a good suggestion? McStab's question about favorite playable characters seems cool to me.

This reminds me. I still have to fix one or more bugs in the polling software and then open it up so anyone can create a poll. It currently throws a nasty looking but harmless warning every time you add another choice to a poll question.
