This new side mission / world event stuff is great. To give you an idea: I found a watchtower captain yelling about some dude and how he would always go missing and it is time to brand him as a deserter. Eivor says I'll look for in the mountains. I go look for him in the mountains. I go and find his ass sleeping, wake him up, he sleepwalks and talks to himself. Uses a zipline while sleeping and finally wakes up midway through the air. One thing I like about this thing is that there are no markers, no side quest added stuff, it is all organic.
Odyssey's side quests became too tiring and formulaic after a while. Go to a new region, find all the question marks, talk to a quest giver, go do the quest, and come back. Repetitive and none of the side quests were original. This way it adds a sense of exploration and I think it gives the devs a chance to be creative.

So the default where the game picks male or female for you "based on who is stronger," is it just set times during the story, the game has a preferred protagonist?
Thanks for the response. Does the screen tearing only affect the Xbox version?
Holy fucking shit, I cannot praise the soundtrack enough. It simply obliterates the previous two games in terms of the music quality. You immediately hear it's Jesper, his style just shines through. I had literal goosebumps during the first raid, with all the vocals and the chanting in the background. The man is simply a wizard. His work with McCann was already amazing in Borderlands 3 but this is something else.
Also glad to see Sarah back. Granted, Origins was meh for me musically but both Anthem and MW2019 were great.

So is the "next-gen upgrade" available day one? The PS4/XBO copies are cheaper, so it seems like the smarter buy. Just need that confirmation from anyone that knows for certain.
I wouldn't do it, few of us have lost our saves after having played with VPN unlock.
So this is perfect, really. I liked that you could remove the markers and compass and everything in Odyssey, but whenever you marked something you could still see it through the ground and building and everything. Now when you mark stuff it just leaves a hovering icon over the location, so you still have to have a vantage point on the mark to see it. You can see it here next to the longhouse.
Quest targets stay marked though right? So many options.
I just logged back in to play some more and couple hours of play gone now. All my save files are corrupt after loading the game. Fuuuuuu!
That antler quest has wrong objectives. Hunter asks for deer antlers when in fact game wants you to get reindeer ones: https://www.gosunoob.com/assassins-creed-valhalla/three-reindeer-antler-locations-mild-hunt-quest/
This is pretty much the exact opposite of what Ubisoft has been saying since the game was shown off the first time. Where are you getting this from?
Dam I was hoping you were wrong. Where does it tell us what time it activates in the UK ?
I think most who did unlock are still going ham or wont boot up again before tomorrow.
We could see some tears "soon".
Ill let you know in 50 min when I turn the VPN off :p
Ive quit the game a couple of times and everything seems to be in order but yeah I haven't turned the VPN off yet
I loved Kassandra and thought Alexis was too forced in Odyssey. Here it seems like it's flipped. The female protagonist gives me Shadow the Edge vibes. I'm sticking with dude Eivor going forward since he seems much more natural.
I did that. I don't think it's traditional corruption as game does read user settings from same folder and those work just fine. It just doesn't recognize save files so in main menu all you get is "New Game".
Just logged back into the game; didn't have any issues. Using PIA for VPN.
Ive been playing ubisoft connect i can open and close it just fine. Tried simulating a fresh install ?
Do you play as the default Eivor or only male?I was leaning towards male but i saw some streams and female sounds much better than some videos i saw.
Issues with saves became a thing when VPN was dropped out of the equation.
I will choose female for 2 reasons. One is that Eivor is a female name, I've never heard it used as a male name, and lastly because in Odyssey, Kassandra was vastly better than the male character.
Game looks good, runs better than Odyssey at launch (though I now have a 3080), but not -that- different from the last one, gameplay seems similar enough, though you can die easier since Health doesn't regenerate, you need to get the parry time down, but it is generous. There's a "sidequest" battle thing really early on which killed me like 3-4 times before I was able to get him
From the game.
Yeah, they're both canon in Layla's simulation because Isu shenanigans, but the historical Eivor was a woman. The male appearance is an animus abstraction of a further spoilery thing.

So, I need to make one more complain about architecture that bears virtually no consequence to the game's quality.
But I was seeing a video of London and I am really disappointed with the direction they took. Instead of trying to recreate a plausiable look to what the city might have looked at the time, they basically create a mini-Rome, ruined version. Indeed, one of the monuments is clearly the Porta Nigra:
Which is from Tier. London was a big city for the time, but nothing like what the ruins make it looks like.
Its bridge looked probably sothing like this:
And in the game it looks more like this:
Which this time is from Spain.
It feels like they just wanted to put together a lot of things that would make people think of Roman buildings, which is very similar to the approach they had in Origins.
Anyway, as I mentioned, this is a very personal feeling and I don't want to say it's a problem with the game, just that I'd prefer a different take.
