Are you learning towards picking male or female Eivor in Assassin's Creed Valhalla?
- Thread starter oni-link
- Start date
There is 30 mins of leaked gameplay featuring her. The thread about the leaked footage is linked in the OP
The 30 min gameplay footage that leaked last night had female Eivor.
Same here. Though customization also plays an important role, usually for the negative. For example, I found that most outifts for the female trainer in Pokemon Let's Go aren't that good, so I went with the boy. The opposite is true for S&S, though. That stupid bag...
Most likely male Eivor. I played Kassandra in ACO as she was clearly the vastly superior character out of the two, but my main reasoning is just to switch it up a bit and go with a male character this time around. Plus the opportunity for an epic Viking beard.
Having said that, if male Eivor turns out to feel really bland like Alexios did, then I might go with female Eivor anyway. Both look awesome design wise.

Playing as her? I was never able to see the leaked footage in the OP of that thread in time. How was her character design, I wonder?
I think we'll see more customisation of character this time around, so maybe they'll let you change hair/tattoos etc, which they didn't let you do in Odyssey
Have they said anything about if one is canon to the story, like they did with Kassandra in Odyssey ?
Yeah
If you go on YT and search for "Assassin's Creed Valhalla leaked gameplay" and then filter the results by most recent someone will have uploaded it again in the last few hours
Filter the search to only show vids 30mins long to narrow it down more if that helps
The year 2020.
Not playing as female.
Do you even game.

I always pick female if given the choice!
Found it! Thanks!
Looking at the first minute, I actually like the lighting and colors, even if the setting is boring for me.
I think they're dealing with alternative universes, given some of what was said in the game outside the animus, but idk.
Haven't watched the leaked gameplay but if the male character has a decent voice I'll be going with him
I went with Kassandra in Odyssey because she's great all 'round, but I'd like to think they've nailed the romance side of things this time around, so it'll be fun to play as a bi dude in a giant RPG again.

Gotta go with the woman, because playing a man with a womans name will bother me somewhat throughout the playthrough. Much like Sissel did in Ghost Trick.
That said, I usually pick the woman in these cases anyway. And probably would have even with a gender neutral name.

I voted male but it could still change if female has a good showing in their marketing footage but yeah male is probably gonna be the majority.
Good. That said, I kinda hope that the game changes depending on whether you pick a male or female Eivor. Like, maybe you have to deal with sexism or some such.
I usually go with the female because of the voice. I think there was one game were it was just way better acted than the guy and it's just stuck with me.
I'm the type of person though that plays games by pressing randomise or leaving it default. Not a big deal to me.

Actually, yeah, I just prefer the voice for Eivor from what little I've heard (of both the male and female version)
A lot of RPGs seem to have better voiceacting for the female character choice for some reason, but I'll wait and see what each of them are like.
I like the idea of playing a guy by default as a guy myself, but the male options, especially character customization, are usually so bad I go for the female alternative.

Hmmmm ok will probably go with whoever has the best voice then.
Kassandra was an easy choice for me but I can go with either Eivor.
Usually I make character customisation decisions based on what kind of character I was playing in the last game I mained and will choose the opposite characteristics.

Terrible.So what you're saying is you could pick Eivor of them?
Depends on who is canon. I played Kassandra in Odyssey because she is the canon protagonist and the game worked better that way.
I guess I'll have to hear the VA for both of them, like I did with ACO. I picked kass because Alexios sounded a bit too goofy for my tastes. If male Eivor sounds good, I'll probably go with him because I want a dank Viking beard
I too like dad jokes.So what you're saying is you could pick Eivor of them?
I'll probably pick the female Eivor (assuming the voice acting is of similar quality), simply because it's quite strange to hear a man being called Eivor.
Seeing her tower over dudes in the leaked gameplay was epic, I'm going to destroy so much male ego in this game.
