We also know now that the protagonist isn't the ancestor of Otso Berg that was mentioned in an earlier game, who lived in 793. AC Valhalla takes place in 873, 80 years later. I guess it could still be an ancestor though, we'll see. They better not be. A Finnish with a Swedish surname had a Dane viking ancestor who after going to Northumberland to raid a monastery had grand(grand)kids who lead a clan in Norway less than 100 years later. I kinda wants to see how they make that fit in.

nicoriv @nicoriv1It's quite the challenge to be asked to give a Viking twist to a brand as legendary as Assassin's Creed; to evolve the visual identity of a brand that speaks to the imagination of fans across the world. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! #AssassinsCreedValhalla pbs.twimg.com/media/EW4NrjzU0AAw8wA.jpg

My guess is the source of DNA we use isn't clear enough at first to tell if male or female, so put into an analyzer and that's when you get to choose what the result will be. Something like that.

EDIT: Here's her IMDB: www.imdb.com/name/nm3158167/ I see they have gone with a nord. Honestly props to Ubisoft for doing this twice in a row. With Odyssey they hired Greek voice actors and with Valhallla they hired Scandi voice actors. The usual suspects won't give them an ounce of credit for doing this.

Even if Odyssey was somewhat enjoyable, everything was generic: helping both sides of the war and have a big name, but no punishment, you can't ended up with anyone you want to romance.
And I'm not interested in vinkings at all, so yeah, this time I'll only buy if they step up with the writing and rpg elements.

I think I misplaced my collector's eye, for they look nice and at the same time I wonder who would want them. Instead of all those fancy $200 editions of video games just for the statues I am more then happy with the edition that is $10 to $20 more for some basic digital content.

Yeah, I was a little annoyed that Odyssey only once mentioned you playing both sides and that was a quest where you had to complete a quest chain for both factions before it would appear.

It's amusing how Ubisoft seems to put so much effort into historical architecture but the costumes are complete nonsense. Why are these vikings wearing face paint and random bits of fur and leather? What's with all the dual-wielding?
I nitpick, but it's not like any historical media out there bothers to depict the Viking Age Norse as anything other than medieval bikers. The game does look beautiful, and I might be persuaded to jump back into the series by a glorious return to the Middle Ages (obviously the best historical period). If only they hadn't been in such a hurry to leave.

So...
The 'settlement' sounds interesting. I suppose settlement systems are like unicorns in gaming for me. In theory I like the potential for the idea, after all I used to play 4 X games like Stars and Civ...but I can't think of a single system that has actually done a good job with it...wait XCOM 2 was kind of neat in that regard so nevermind. But FO 4 and Inquisition were...not ideal on the other ends of the spectrum.
And the progression...also sounds interesting. I mean this sounds like it could be a major shakeup in how characters progress in RPGs...but then it could also be just a cosmetic change, either way I look forward to seeing what they come out with and its something I look forward to seeing.
So anyways if Breakpoint gets its act together that means it will likely be DAI then Breakpoint then Odyssey. If not then I will need one (or more) games to sandwich in until I get to about August or September. But bright news, I now have a pretty full gaming schedule again.

I'm not sure how I feel about making Alfred the Great, a man who is generally being portrayed as an educated and enlightened ruler by the history books, a bad guy... because he doesn't want us to take a piece of his people's land and make it ours. That and Layla are the things I'm rather meh about. Everything else sounds pretty darn interesting.

In the interviews they talk about how he seems that way at the start since we're playing from a Viking perspective, but as the game progresses the nuances of him and the situation are explored in detail.

Well, Odyssey had the āvillain behind the villainā, where Deimos wasnāt the āmainā bad guy, so maybe they plan on doing something similar. Although, given how I think the final actual villain of Odyssey was a big letdown, it may be better if they kept their villain(s) obvious. Thatās a matter a personal taste, though. Others may have felt the implementation and reveal of that final villain really worked for them.

Woof... finally, the deluge seems to be easing up.  Well, they seem to be saying all the right things so far, I'm definitely down for it. Some little touches too, like mini-games and lots of customization. Curious to see how they implement base-building here. On the combat side: dual-wielding, shields, that flail looks damn cool, the not-so-hidden blade, "visceral" combat, raids... can't wait to check out some actual gameplay. I wonder just how "assassin-y" you can play. Right now, it feels secondary to straight-up fighting. Now these mercenaries you can create/share/recruit - I wonder if they're just for raids, or...? M/F protag, romances, tying in Isu/Norse mythology... sounds good to me.  I agree about combat with the stealth feeling secondary to just going in and smashing things. That was probably my biggest complaint about Odyssey until I played the DLC was that I never really felt the stealth combat was that much of a focus aside from "we better put that in too". If they try to walk it back just a bit I think I can forgive it more then just leaving it like Odyssey. Yep in Odyssey the assasination was weak and basically you just went in swords blazing. Try this in Origins and you'll be dead soon usually (ok I can now playing 2nd time handle the fights better but still)  Thing I was asking in Odyssey was "where is the assasination and assassins?" but anyway it was a good side romp for me. Still like how fighting feels in Origins compared to Odyssey where hits felt like putting a spear through butter. Both work but I liked the hits being registered 'hard' in Origins.
