The engine for the AC games is usually on the heavy side, but often there are a couple of settings that can be lowered and give large improvements. Frame consistency will mostly depend on the CPU. Anything with 6 or more real cores will be fine. If you could run Odyssey, then you would run Valhalla mostly at the same performance with 10-15% difference. Just a guess. There are what, 18 or so hours until we PLAY!!! I'm jealous. It's over 48 hours for me I think it's playable at 11pm Monday night, but I have work the next day, so I can't stay up to play. But I am going to leave work as soon as possible on Tuesday and hopefully get several hours of play time in I'm pretty lucky being on the West Coast, so I'll be able to get a start at 9pm Monday Night. But I'm in no rush, so I'll take it slow and loot every copper piece under every rock in the game...

I had the impression the facial expression were terrible in previous video of the game, but watching some streamers, the full cutscenes have pretty good ones.
The lesser dialogues thought...terrible.

Not yet playing but some useful, yet spoilery information. It's the largest AC game, with 140km² across all 5 maps of Norway, England, Vinland (North America), Asgard, Jotunheim.
Norway is the size of Skyrim map but with more water. England is the largest at 120km². Also, England zones are split by season.
Asgard/Jotunheim show up in "dreams". When you start the game you can let the game decide Eivor's gender that means you play female Eivor in the real world, but male Eivor in Asgard/Jotunheim. The super spoiler plot reason: Eivor is women who is a reincarnated male Isu from Asgard. So while dreaming of the past, she appears male. Exploiting weakpoints allow you tackle enemies at higher power (level) than you...as long as you can avoid getting hit. Video with all abilities in the game I am going to let the Animus decide, from what I have read previously and from your post it seems the best way to do it.

But I'm in no rush, so I'll take it slow and loot every copper piece under every rock in the game... You mean there's another strategy???? Going by the streamers: rushing all the way to England and then complaining you missed stuff in Norway because you even failed to see the atlas button to navigate between the region is a possible strategy. I watched a bunch of stream and half those guys aren't even bothering learning to play the game. It's dreadful.

I watched a bunch of stream and half those guys aren't even bothering learning to play the game. It's dreadful. I'd recommend Cohh Carnage. He's pretty thorough in his PTs. Plus point is that his chat is moderated well and he encourages his viewers to be nice to one another. He also welcomes hints but not spoilers. Some streamers can be very acerbic about it. He often gets hold of new games and also tries other genres he hasn't done before. Often his goal is to achieve a 100% run. However I've noticed that he's not very keen in the AC series. He played AC Origins and ACOD for perhaps 20 - 30 hours and then dropped them. I know he's playing Valhalla early but I didn't watch since I don't want to be spoiled and thus, no idea of his reception of it but I do know, he won't be rushing.

I also learned that you can get married, but it's a fixed quest with "choices" in it. Randomly stumbled on that information by forwarding a stream recording to avoid spoilers...Yeah me. What do you mean it’s a fixed quest? I hope that doesn’t mean it is mandatory, especially since all the romances so far are as bad as Odyssey’s and require sex.

Getting married is done via a quest, but I have no idea if it's mandatory. It was just a passing comment from the youtuber I was watching at a totally random time while he was exploring.

Ah okay. Hopefully it is completely optional, and not required or even needed to 100% the area.

Reviews are out. PC Gamer sure enjoyed it...: Valhalla is Ubisoft's best Assassin's Creed to date.
Some reviewers are getting tired of massive worlds thought.

PC Performance analysisTen minutes! You know what, I think I am starting to get hyped about this game... I can't wait to see how people react, as some of the reviewers actually hated it (because it's less AC than Odyssey despite the one-shot hidden blade, assassin's order and social stealth + too much side content), while others claims it's better and improved over Odyssey.
