Black Flag was okay, but it was really trivially easy. With so many instant-kill options, the absurd blowgun and smoke bombs, stealth was completely unnecessary as you could facetank your way through anything, but stealth is also incredibly easy?

Not having so many consumables and tools to get you out of bad situations, making mass combat impossible without pirates backing you up, and making actions have a bit more consequence would have improved the game a ton. Guards attacking just meant a brief, easily dispatched fight and notoriety on the ocean was absurdly easy to remove, and only meant that you'd get occasional free deliveries of metal.

Somehow, the King of England offering a pardon to all pirates was a big plot point. I however was regularly sacking his fortresses, attacked every ship he owned, and could freely dock in his cities, while waving the black flag, and sell what I looted from his fleet. I'm not sure what more the King could do to pardon me.
