The only time AC made me feel icky was when I played as Jack the Ripper. 🤢 Terrible DLC for a disappointing game. I never revisited that DLC upon completion, and couldn't bother with more than two PTs of Syndicate as a whole. I agree. I didn't like playing the Ripper in any shape of form. Almost as unpleasant as playing Shay. I've enjoyed Syndicate three times but only played the DLC the once. Valhalla I'm looking forward to, but it'll have to wait until I'm done with Legion.

None of this tells me who I can kiss. I don't like the looks of the combat. I prefer stealthing/assassinating/bow combat. If I can stick with mostly that, then it's fine. If I have to do a lot of big ass swords/axes or use shields...no thanks. Though I will admit I did like the look of using a flail on some dudes I'm really curious how both Eivor are cannon or how the let the animus choose who you are is supposed to work? I was leaning towards male Eivor (I know, I know. Female name. Whatevs! ) But I may reconsider if I can get past the female voice annoying me. Even though I feel like I'm complaining, I am excited to get to play it next month! I too was a worried about the combat but from what has been said and what I have seen there still appears to be a strong stealth element to the game. Weapon wise I never go with the two handed weapons and just plan on using a sword or dual wielding axes and yeah using the bow as much as possible with stealth of course. What I am really unsure about is the option to be able to change from female to male Eivor and maybe that is why there is no permanent romance and family building if I remember reading that correctly. I just don't get why you'd want to change from one to the other unless you can have a different build or something????? Have they gone into any detail re romances etc. I don't remember seeing very much about that?

As someone that was almost killed by an axe (accident, don't get other ideas), I am still making them the only choice.
The option to change Eivor is probably for people that start with one, but don't like it after a few hours and want to switch without starting new and losing progress.
As for romances - I heard Eivor can't marry and have kids, but as we know (easy there, Hanako), that is probably meant for outside the main narrative. Otherwise there were hints for romancing NPCs with the possibility for good and bad outcomes depending on Eivor's actions.

OMG that is a story I need to hear re the axes!!!!! PM me I'll share my almost severed arm incident. 😜 It's nothing interesting, just a regular equipment malfunction. Me and my brother were doing chores at my grandfather's house. He was splitting wood and I was cutting the grass (reaper style with a big ass scythe). I stopped for a few seconds to take a breather about 3 meters away from my brother. And in that moment as he was hitting down, apparently there was some crack in the wooden handle, the handle broke from the impact, the head of the axe ricocheted from the firewood and with a blink of an eye speed went spinning past me, almost brushing my arm (to this day I swear I felt the "whoosh"). If I stopped just a step later or continued mowing, the head of the axe was going straight into my chest area.
That's my second brush with death, I have two more

Yong got another 5 hours with the game and he says it still feels unfinished. I have to say, looking at the clips in his video, it does look that way. It's weird, some vids look more refined than others and I'm wondering if they sent an old build out to journos? Comparing animations and character models to Odyssey is not favorable. But he also mentions combat, presentation and sound design. I'm worried they might be rushing this out the door like they did with Unity.

They made similar claims even more explicit last time, and yeah we all know how truthful those were so when they said that in the article I immediately thought “until there is a DLC or some canon romance or something.” I’m assuming the worst, so if that claim was actually true then I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

But he also mentions combat, presentation and sound design. I'm worried they might be rushing this out the door like they did with Unity. I would say with almost 100% certainty that its probably a build of the game weeks if not months before the gold version. They have to make sure the demos are locked down enough that there aren't any key problems so they pull the game off the line and lock down areas and content so it will always feel unfinished. I refuse to watch his videos, but I would expect him to understand that if there is a "work in progress" it won't be representative of the game, but to give an idea what they game is aiming for regardless of when its available. There are plenty of stories in recent years about problems reviewers have had with games because it doesn't even have the day 1 patch yet.

*is watching a video on the gameplay and sees the player pull off a move where Eivor does a full front roll and then shoot a guard in the head killing him*
I WANT THIS GAME NOW.
*sees someone just one shot kill a guard with a regular one shot (I think)*
NOW I SAY.

So something that is in the concerning/ curious camp. I was watching either an IGN preview or Eurogamer...I think Eurogamer... and it seems like that 'power' is indeed Vahalla's equivalent to Gear Level. Now my experience with Gear Levels to this point seems to be mostly a net negative. I don't have MUCH experience with them but again...pretty negative. They were an excuse to create a grindfest in Breakpoint, I was rather ambivalent towards them in Anthem, and in the Avengers demo...yeah more excuse to grind for little reward. Plus I generally prefer it when your skills increase via level and that is the most important thing because that makes the most sense. Yes gear can be higher or lower quality then other pieces of gear but it makes more sense to grow physical skill and that would be a greater sense of variance. Why the verdict is still out here is that since Ubisoft seems to be torpedoing the traditional way RPGs level their people this creates a much more interesting situation so I am curious to see how they will pull this off.
