I saw the script stuff but that's either a problem with the boards or the link I used from imgur so not quite sure why it's MY PROBLEM or worth posting about TBH.
I tried to fix the script stuff but wouldn't let me. Anyway!!!!!

It's all good, mate - I'm sure it was just gentle teasing. Used to happen to me ALL the time. Now, whenever I'm posting an image or gif, I always either create the post in BBCode or enter down a couple of lines before starting it.

Not worried about it just thought it was a strange post to make. I thought maybe the GIF wasn't actually showing to others.
I chose BBCode as the link but it is something that has happened before but it normally lets me clean it up by editing the post, this time it wouldn't :SHRUGS:

I was more making fun of the wrong content considering we're on a Assassin's Creed thread...

The Ones Who Came Before Crossed swords @acfirstciv New #AssassinsCreedValhalla details coming from @opm_UK May edition.
• There is a great range of architectural diversity in the game, such as Roman ruins and Saxon huts. • Lots of exploring can be expected, from Neolithic sites to enormous towns. • In the settlement you have the potential to make friends as well as enemies. • You can call your longboat to you and use it's map to search for places to trade or raid. • "You can visit and climb Stonehenge, and uncover the secrets of the ancient people who built the mysterious monument." - Darby McDevitt (Narrative Director) • Regarding Synin, your Raven companion, the UI has been reduced and discovering secrets will feel more instinctive and rewarding. • Mythology is being treated more like it was in Origins than Odyssey. • The team wanted to make sure that characters in Valhalla are memorable, and NPC's do not set you random quests where you fetch items, as quests like that are forgettable.
AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus More #AssassinsCreed Valhalla news (Playstation Magazine)
- Stonehenge can be visited / climbed; players will "uncover the secrets of the ancient people who built the mysterious monument" - Players may meet tribes still worshipping England's pagan gods in the game - The lootbox system featured in Origins and Odyssey "seems" to be gone, according to the source, whle new and unique weapons and gear can be earned and valued in the game - Players can use the map to scan for places to raid or trade - All the crew members on Eivor's longship will have names and personalities. Such personalities will persist even after the characters are put on the ship - Alfred the Great, the king shown in the trailer, will go on a personal journey of his own throughout the story. He will be an antagonist but not a villain - McDevitt describes the game's narrative as a "Flower petal structure": the player leaves the settlement, spends time in the world and comes back. Each adventure would be a petal within the flower of the narrative - Some side-quests will adopt a "Shakesperean five-act structure" turning them into multiple-part stories, helping the players getting invested in the characters - Many quest givers will stay in the world after their quest is done; some can become residents of the settlement - Once settled down in England, players will have two exploration approaches: go raiding or build alliances - Raiding will bring resources to the settlement to create buildings and to begin cultivating farmland - Building alliances will be tied to feeling vulnerable in a foreign land - making alliances may help while subduing part of the country - The game features Saxon wattle and daub huts (one story buildings with wooden rooves) set amongst Roman ruins - Vertical navigation can be performed in "Saxon palaces" along with London, Winchester and Jorvìk - Early in the game Eivor will learn about the Order of the Ancients - The game will be a bridge between Hidden Ones / Order of the Ancients and Assassins / Templars as known from previous games - The lore in Valhalla will be "seeded" throughout the world for the players to discover - The game will have connections to other Assassin's Creed games taking place before and after the events of Valhalla

I fought a giant god serpent in Origins via drugs hallucinations...who could still kill me if I failed.
Am I a bad person if I say that I prefer Odyssey way of making all those things just Isu's pet projects than making the protag a crazy headcase that see things?
Assassin's Creed @assassinscreed Eivor's Hidden Blade is on top of the wrist in Assassin's Creed Vallhalla. Why is that? @darbymcdevitt has got you covered!

You're not alone... I thought the Isu "pet projects" in Odyssey were a great addition, and prefer the more tangible elements over VR experiences.
- Once settled down in England, players will have two exploration approaches: go raiding or build alliances - Raiding will bring resources to the settlement to create buildings and to begin cultivating farmland - Building alliances will be tied to feeling vulnerable in a foreign land - making alliances may help while subduing part of the country
- The game will be a bridge between Hidden Ones / Order of the Ancients and Assassins / Templars as known from previous games The game will have connections to other Assassin's Creed games taking place before and after the events of Valhalla
Here's hoping I can go full build alliance route. Hopefully raiding isn't the only way to get resources.
This part about bridging the past and future events of the series has me a little curious but mostly nervous since I can think of a few ways and I'm not a fan of them. For example Eivor is Maria's ancestor and we meet a descendant of the Eagle Bearer's rape baby.

Aya in Origins is supposed to be a descendant already.
Yeah but if I ignore the DLC that never happened since obviously it isn't talked about in Origins. But if it's established in Valhalla then I can't ignore it.

#AssassinsCreed #ACFacts
This is the one thing I find really kinda odd in Valhalla and with the Viking setting. It doesn't really fit the assassin's creed (I mean the in universe creed).
The three major tenets of the creed are:
"Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent." "Hide in plain sight, be one with the crowd." "Never compromise the Brotherhood."
I feel like Eivor's stance, which makes perfect sense in the context of Norse culture kinda violates the last two of the tenets. During Altair's time, which is almost the same as this game, the hidden blade was hidden because it was the signature weapon of the brotherhood. It was also a technological marvel at the time (and even until much later). Eivor wearing it out in the open on purpose sort of clashes with the idea to work in the shadows.
I was wondering how they would integrate these two cultures with each other and from what I've seen so far, I am very skeptical if there will be a good explanation or reconciliation. I am afraid they'll just go with what they want to do now and act like it isn't a problem at all. But we'll see.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the viking setting and I am looking forward to it but the assassin aspect in it gives me a bit of a headache.

Kassandra was raped? Does that happen in the dlc? What about Alexios? Did he rape a woman to have a kid? Just curious since I haven't played the dlc.

Not literally. You are just forced to have the kid in the DLC. So it goes from seeing them, time skip, poof you’re a parent in a relationship with them despite avoiding romance options like the plague and never saying you want a kid.

As @hanako Ikezawa said its not really raped, but it was something completely out of the character for a lot of people that played Kassandra. I played her without any relationships and there were people that played her as a lesbian. No matter what route you take you are stuck falling for a NPC and then flashing forward a year or two and having a kid with them (its the same with Alexios expect you know a female NPC). Even thinking about it with Alexios it doesn't fit how I would be playing either character at that moment in time for I was running off and murdering hundreds of people at a time and going from picking tough dialogue choices to feeling all nostalgic for settling down just felt out of place. It really was just a plot point generator that didn't feel like the choice a lot of people playing either character would have made at that time.

So you only posted rape because you're mad at the people who made the game for putting in a choice that you don't agree with? Why not just say you're not happy with the choice they made for your character? Curious what words you will post if Bioware were to release a sequel to ME3 with Shepard returning.

I put rape because without my consent a NPC had sex and impregnated my character.
