Also none of the gear have the bonuses to various kinds of damage/abilities like they had in Odyssey. Armor has returned to being more basic again, though they have weight values now (encumbrance?), and evasion values. Weapons are fairly straightforward.

I noticed "Rations" are a thing in the Inventory. Sounds like they're introducing some sort of survival mechanics in this one. ... You know I was going to state my displeasure but then I remembered that they have rations in RDR and Breakpoint that just provide temporary bluffs rather than being for 'survival' Could be for buffs too, we'll see...

Guess I'll be using just one set and changing the appearance of it then, since I don't want to use sets I like aesthetically but go against my build by being heavy and loud.

ETA: I just followed the FB link left by Hrungr and it's still there so I just started watching! First thing I noticed, looks like TW3 and the horse has a stamina bar or something? Do. Not. Want.
Edit #2 Not a stamina bar? Is it a health bar? Also, cinematic camera while riding seems a bit unnecessary

It does look like there is some Bear/Wolf/Raven Ability<->Gear synergy. Hopefully they'll continue to allow you to transmog across the 3 types.

They changed up how Adrenaline works a bit as well. Here Eivor has 2 Adren Segments which incrementally fill up with attacks, and deplete when taking hits (and slowly over time). However... abilities don't have a cooldown (like they do in Odyssey). As long as you have at least one full segment, you can use an ability. And I'm sure you'll be able to gain more Adren Segments over the game.
So there's a tradeoff compared to AC:OD. I will miss being able to "store" up to 8 bars of Adren to use at some much later time though...

Wow, it looks great. Beautiful environments, which is to be expected from Ubi. The combat is even more visceral than Origins and the finishers and dismemberment look awesome. Female Eivor is perfect. I love both the character model and VOs.

Why do they have to kep changing things, I liked being able to store adrenaline before fights, ooh Adrenalines low must go assassinate someone or kill some Deer!!!!

Edit #2 Not a stamina bar? Is it a health bar? The blue bar for Eivor depletes when they dodge or dash (but quickly replenishes). For the mount it never depleted at all when riding or dying, so I'm assuming it's for a special horse sprint/dash we haven't seen. Maybe for jumping as well.

I'd be surprised if there weren't tranq/paralyzing arrows & choke-holds. I do miss those quick-fling tranq darts from Origins.

A lot of folks online seem to think this is the footage Ubi will show at their upcoming event. This is clearly very early footage of the game, maybe even alpha. I'm trying to figure out if the axe throwing ability is some kind of special ultra move, or if the player is controlling the trajectory of each one and we can only carry a certain amount.

Syndicate didn't once you entered combat, and with Eivor being a Viking with a preset personality which clearly likes violence judging from cutscenes and dialogue (like her being personally against sparing the enemy but did because Oswald) I wouldn't be surprised if they limited it to that again, made it ridiculously difficult to the point of punishing like some of the other AC games like Origins, and had lots of quests where the objective is "Kill them all".

Nooo, this is way too unpolished to show off at an event. It has a lot of issues. The (ghostly) axe throwing is an ability. Given that they are ghostly, it doesn't look like you need to carry any.

I'm happy the enemies are no longer damage sponges. I can live with the gameplay being the same as Odyssey as long as the story is better than Odysseys. I can already tell I'm going to love Eivor more than I did Alexios or Kassandra.

Uplay in Australia has an 8% discount for pre-orders, I would have thought that would be world wide plus using Uplay points I saved another 20% so gut the Ultimate Edition I think for around $110 AUD.
