Of course I was paying attention to the story. There's just nothing there.

You talk about black water and where does it come from , it comes from the grail   It's explained  and you see how it works when the Marquess is knighted ,

obviously there is tension even then it's mostly down to one old man set in his ways , and it's due to the fact that you are historically sworn to combat were creatures , but you are now caught in the middle of competing factions you have on one hand the rebels  and what seems to be some sort of collussion with the werewolves then theres the India company who are your benefactors but seem to have there own secret agenda and thirdly there is the anarchists who are at odds with the company and are watching the order due to the Companies ties there but are also keeping tabs on the rebels and there sudden rise believing some power is behind them.

Amongst all that you are trying to do your job and  I don't see fighting rebels when attacked constitutes shooting the shit out of innocents.

"comes from the grail"

Wow, what an explanation. And no, you don't see how it works. You see him drink some and then fill his vial with his own blood. None of that is any sort of explanation on its origins or really anything about it.

Shooting actual guards on the airship constitutes shooting the shit out of innocents. Especially when Galahad apparently has a perfectly good and quick method for distinguishing real and fake guards.

Obviously most people have heard of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table and the quest for the holy grail and it's powers , it's one of literatures most widely known legends  , but then again you called him Sir Arthur , its a bit like having a game where some one finds the fountain of youth and complaining because they didn't give you a detailed analysis of how it works .
Obviously the order has been using  blackwater for centuries and it would look out of place for to suddenly do a detailed  explaination , you are told early on that it grants you healing and long life but not immortality and since it goes back to Arthurs day it's most likely all they know.

About the airship battles and shooting guards it is most likely that very point that  sees you doing the stealth  missions after you identify the rebels  you are then attacked enmass by more rebels and the real guards seem to conveniently dissapear so it's pretty hard to kill them .

I'm not arguing with you about it's faults it has many including those dissapearing guards but you stance on the story comes across as being pedantic ,if you said the story isn't my cup of tea i could understand, but most off your arguements regarding story could be laid at the door of just about every game like uncharted , tomb raider etc.

PS. sorry about the Sir Arthur dig couldn't help myself  ,still it seems this will simply end with us disagreeing about the merits of the story , at least we can agree that the rest needs improvement if they ever make a sequel.
