I just can't wait for them to explain more details about the animus and genetic memory. I mean, even if we take genetic memory as a given, something that is passed down the family tree with every new generation... how come that we can access memories that happen after a given assassin's offspring is born? After all, said offspring can only inherit memories that have happened up to his/her birth - anything that happens afterwards cannot be embedded in their genes unless there's a weird genetic wifi going on between the generations of assassins. For example, Kassandra's/Alexios's memories should have ended just before their kid was born. Anything that came afterwards cannot be in that kid's genes, and therefore cannot be passed down the line. Also yay, more Layla. AC fandom breathes a collective sigh of relief... right? The recent Animus in Origins and Odyssey doesn't rely on descendants, but the DNA of the individual we are playing as.

And there was no reason to force them to have a kid in Odyssey. Eh, maybe I shouldn't think about it too much.

Unless they show more or answer things before release that really wins me over, I don't know if I'm getting this game and definitely am unsure if I am getting it in November when it releases. It will be 50% off about 6 months after release. That's when I plan to buy it personally...that's what I did for Odyssey and I don't regret it. I just can't wait for them to explain more details about the animus and genetic memory.

Anything that came afterwards cannot be in that kid's genes, and therefore cannot be passed down the line. One of the AC comics has the Animus create a blackhole to the mind of the ancestor and the genetic is just required to target the correct person. Might not be canon.

So, I'm sure everyone here knows: I'll be pre-ordering this game I won't be switching genders during the same play through. I don't see how that would make the story work?? Also, I hope I don't *have* to play as Layla. Cause YUCK! Do. Not. Want! Pet dogs = GoTY! I would like to see more of the options we'll have for hair/make up/tattoos and the like. Also, show us some romance Ubisoft! I gotta say, I laughed pretty hard at the part where they were dual wielding shields. I hate shields, but that was pretty funny. I think I want the spinny/swinging weapon thing though. That looked bad ass! And back to azarhal : I use kb+m and controller on pc and I always hate fp. It's just a preference in gameplay. Some ppl like them, some ppl don't. I don't usually. Deus Ex being one that I LOVE!

AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus IGN, Gamesradar and Stevivor are reporting the existence of a new Modern Day activity taking place in the open world of #AssassinsCreed Valhalla
Named "Animus Anomalies", when Eivor finds them, Layla and her handlers will pause the Animus simulation Down pointing backhand index
Then, they will set-up a challenge (still taking place in the open world) that involves parkour over "rotating blue platforms" , all while the player is controlling Layla.
Players will climb to the top of the platforms and reach a glitch, then obtain a "sort of data download"

So you can even break off and take the stealthy approach with the big setpiece battles, and try to go straight-up assassinate the boss. Nice.

And there was no reason to force them to have a kid in Odyssey. Eh, maybe I shouldn't think about it too much. For Odyssey, both Kassandra's and Alexios's DNA was on the spear. Layla chooses which to explore. Don't know how they'll excuse this one, with us being able to swap at any given time. And yes, there was absolutely no reason to force a kid in Odyssey.

It's mentioned in the IGN interview: the dna is damaged, so the Animus fills in the gender based on the user choice.

It's been a bit since I've gone stealthy in AC:OD so I'm not sure how it would compare, but I noticed you have good range with your whistle. In some of the older games it's annoyingly short. (Forget the "call mount" prompt, Eivor's actually whistling to get the nearest guard's attention. Even the furthest hears him.)

Here's a so called romance scene, but honestly it's look like Odyssey one night stands with no real impact. Also fair warning stay way from the comment section on YouTube.

I started Origins a couple of months ago and once again, I wasn't motivated / interested to finish it. If Valhalla is like Odyssey, I can sail with that.

I don't remember a quickie like this in Odyssey (doesn't even qualify as a one night stand). Also, calling him by his brother's name afterward. It probably will result in some small stuff around the village later, like the dude drinking himself to death or something.
