In the original AC4Edward Kenway was often a pirate in the stories, but a master assassin in the gameplay, despite not accepting any of the creeds and not joining the Brotherhood until later.

Kenway is not an assassin, but a scoundrel, a scoundrel, a cruel, cunning, and opportunistic pirate. You can feel it in combat as Kenway fights dirty and uses opportunistic Assassin-like tactics without feeling like a modern take on a classic Assassin like Altair or Ezio. Removing the Hidden Blade combat is key, as the combat options it replaces completely complement it, and there's no denying that this is a huge improvement.
