Which Eivor memory stream will you choose?

I'm choosing male but it's cool you can switch them on the fly. I probably will.
I played through Odyssey as Alexios. It would've been nice to switch to Kassandra but I was so far through that it put me off.

Default ? The character switching between male and female during the story will be so weird, not sure how they will pull that off but it will be interesting to see.
I'll probably go with whoever has the best voice acting unless the default offers a great explanation for switching.

Depends on the voice actor but I'm leaning male. In Odyssey I went with Kassandra whose performance was very well done.
If it turns out there's gay romance, I'm going male. If not... to be honest I might not even play it haha.
There were gay romances in odyssey though romances in general weren't exactly much to tell about in odyssey
Yeah I loved living my queer greek fantasy. They weren't perfect, but it was still a huge part of me feeling good in the world. Which is why if they cut that from Ragnarok, I don't think I would enjoy it nearly as much. Here's hoping I can be a gay viking.
I like both VA's, but Eivor is a female name, so I'm torn. I'll just decide when the moment arrives. :lol
I nearly always choose the female character if there is an option. But I think the male character in Valhalla is more visually striking than the female. So I might choose him (might just be the beard lol). That said you have options for hair type and hair colour along with face and body tattoos.
Unfortunately I doubt the story or dialogue reflects the gender you choose so it's ultimately kinda' meaningless. Unless it does, in which case that'd be a surprise and an improvement.

You can absolutely be a gay Viking.
That there's a default option pleases me
Hopefully there's a default option for choices so I don't have to go down the silly player choice rabbit hole too

Whichever feels better acted probably.
I have the benefit that I dont think I'll be getting it at launch so I will be able to look into it a bit more before I start.
From the previews so far neither has stood out to me much either way as being better and in the case that neither is better, guess ill flip a coin

Probably female or default. Don't like male Eivor's voice from what I've heard.
Edit:
I've been playing Odyssey with Alexios and started to regret it like 40 or 50 hours in, but that was too far into the game to start over. I'm glad we can change anytime now.

Lol so that's probably why.

It just said you can change on the fly, which seems kinda odd I mean wouldn't all your crew be like wait a minute who's this? Lol
I'll be going good old viking bloke eivor
That... doesn't make sense. Especially for a story trying to pretend this was a real historical character, and real historical events. Unless there's a big reveal where Eivor is gender fluid and likes to switch it up depending on their mood each morning, Ubi saying "both are canon" just comes across as deliberately being wrong in an attempt not to offend anyone.
From what I've seen so far, I far prefer the male version, both in terms of voice acting and looks. But it's going to be strange to hear everyone call him Eivor, since it's so unequivocally a woman's name. So, I'm still undecided.
I'm a white dude with blonde hair so I'm gonna play as the white dude with blonde hair. I know it's boring but I like playing as characters that look like me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd want to play as female Eivor, as that's always the way I go if offered the choice, but I kind of like the fact that male Eivor is voiced by Cnut from The Last Kingdom.
I won't be playing it for months anyway, haven't finished Odyssey yet.

I don't know, i prefer playing ladies but i prefer Cnut's voice. So...
I guess i could pick the default option just to see what it's about with this both are canon stuff (i guess it's just that Eivor's dna is somehow corrupted and neither the historians or the animus can determine between male or female). And then i'll probably pick the one i prefered the most and stick with that gender. I guess.

Of course it doesn't make sense, but ubisoft doesn't give a shit about the lore or consistency anymore, lol
you can just change at anytime anyway, so whatever.
they'll probably explain it away with something like, oh the whatever whatever is too damaged so we cant really be sure if Eivor was a male or female, so we are gonna rely on the animus to make the best judgement at each memory sequence blah blah
I'm undecided. Played Kassandra in Odyssey and had a blast so i'm leaning towards female Eivor. Will probably listen to the VO a bit and decide then. Definitely not as opposed to play male Eivor as i was with Alexios who just seemed lame all around.
Whoever has the best acting and sound and visual appeal. leaning towards male atm. Kassandra is the best tho.
Yeah I'm also undecided, and while Kass was an easy choice for the amazing VA, neither option has impressed me yet here from what I've seen. I'm probably going to decide based on the hair and fashion options for each gender =P
Not sure yet. I like the design of both and like what I've heard so far in terms of voice-acting for both as well. Will probably try them out for a while before making my final decision.
It's an Odyssey spoiler, but yes, it's technically possible but it won't happen
