It certainly is looking like this is the title where they go all-in on the new direction started in Origins and solidified in Odyssey. I guess it sucks for long time players of AC, but for me, who started with Odyssey - I'm actually quite excited/intrigued by it all. Especially if the village "lives" the way that the various camps of RDR2 did.
I feel like it's the opposite to me Odyssey seem like the title that they went all in on.Social stealth and one shot kill assassinations are back. They are returning to the templars vs assassin's plotlines that were so important in the earlier games. They are toning down some of the mythical elements that were in Odyssey. The protagonist for Valhalla is more defined then Alexios/Kassandra. The more I read about this more I am excited as a long time Assassin's Creed fan.
That's great. I'm excited by the things I'm hearing as well. The 'all-in' comment was about the RPG aspects which - and I'll stand to be corrected, but - started with Origins in a 'lite' form and got deeper in Odyssey.
If they're bringing back things that long-time players have missed, while going deeper into the RPG-space (which is what I like), then I think it has the potential to be great all around. The usual caveat of hoping they don't bite off more than they can chew applying, of course.

Meanwhile as a different fan of the series, a lot of this news is saddening since I was loving these new changes so for them to fall back towards the old ones sucks. Also you can't cheer social stealth and condemn mythical elements since there is nothing more straight up magic in the series than social stealth. Oh joy, another protagonist I just hope I actually like than don't. *looks at past protagonists* Don't have god odds there.

Yeah need to know so I can slip any upgrades through without the financial controller (AKA the wife) realising!!!!
I'm probably going to have to push 'go' on that at some point either late this year or early next, as well.
The 2080Ti is still - I suspect - more than adequate - but it is being held back by the 4790K which was great in its day, but now struggles with higher end titles.
I upgraded from a 7 series to the 1070Ti only a bit over a year and a half ago, not sure I'll get a better GPU past the financial controller but you never know!!!!!! I have no idea either whether my Motherboard and Chips are good enough to handle a new GPU anyway.
What is the 4790K you mention?
Thought I'd solved my PSU issues but it keeps crapping itself 3 times in 30 minutes today so obviously F#$king not!!!!!! Think I will have to incur the wraith of the wife and just by a new one rather than wait for the shop bought it from to open up so it can be tested and replaced under warranty.

The 4790K is an i7 CPU - back around DAI/TW3 times, it was the "beast" CPU for gaming. Now it's like it's a Toyota hatchback that I've strapped a jet engine (2080Ti) to.

Thought that was what you were talking about, mine are Intel Core i7 8700 Hex Core LGA 1151-2 3.20 GHz and with Odyssey they seem to be all over the place ranging from 50% to 95% regardless of whatever is happening in game!!!!! I have no idea whether they'd cope with an updated GPU.

Love your imagery!!!!!!
In all honesty, you and I should probably switch GPUs. We’d both get more stable performance
That was a joke. You can’t have my 2080Ti. It’s MINE.

dazk it might also be 1. Motherboards own power handlers, 2. Memory, 3. GPU, 4. CPU I had back in 2012 a work machine that was like this. In the end we changed all those except GPU (PSU was also changed) - it was CPU. CPU worked for few hours ok and then something went wrong, HALT, power down.
Anyway your CPU is at least 2x of my (i7-4960X). I have GTX1070OC and my CPU is starting to get in the way of GPU. Its also getting in way of music making as my music partner has i7-8700

LOL
So does that mean I should aim to get a 2080 at some stage?
Nah, wait till the PS5 comes out, let them brag for a week then buy a 2080Ti. The 2070 (with a half decent CPU) will already monster the new consoles.

I've been trying to keep up with the thread and skim through the articles that have been linked (really, thank you all so much for the hard work you put in)!
I'm just wondering if I've missed if they said anything about family/relationships/romances and the modern day stuff? (CAN WE OFF LAYLA?????? )
Also, I see that computer have been brought up so I'd like to ask about what I *just* ordered and get your opinions on it, pls I hope it's going to be enough!
I thought my current computer just turned 4 in January, but turns out it was 5 years ago I bought it. It struggled a bit with Odyssey and Greedfall so I thought it might be time to trade up before the next round of new stuffs.

They haven’t said much about it. With family and romances, they said some romances will happen in your settlement (so I’m assuming there will be ones outside too), there will be the opportunity for same sex romances (my guess is everyone is available to both like in Odyssey) and that there can even be political marriages if you want (so maybe marriage for other reasons too, and not just one night stands).
As for Layla and Modern Day, they are staying very tight lipped about that other than we’re continuing her story, there will be gameplay including new things, and it will be a sort of convergence moment or something for the overall MD story.

Here’s hoping. Or even her turning into the MD villain and future MD will be having to stop her.

That's odd. I've a i7-8700, geforce 1080ti (I refused the 2070 in 2017 when it was offered; I thought it was too soon and it was expensive. Turned out I was right to refuse it because a slew of problems cropped up for those who owned it then). 16 gb ram, same number of ssds. Psu is 800w. I've relatively no problems with ACOD and Greedfall but then, I didn't go for ultra settings in everything for ACOD. Greedfall yes.
