I don't know if I'm missing anything so if someone could correct me that would be great...

When we learned that we could switch gender at will, McDevitt said that it would make logical sense as to how neither of the genders are canon...

I'm not convinced that the explanation was 'very good' or 'logical'. All I took away from it was that the Animus was confused???

I was really looking forward to finding out how this was possible. Honestly, I'm disappointed but not surprised.

Anybody have any further information?

I thought it was going to be explained in the beginning, but from what I heard, it's explained later.

@saintlystorms First I heard of switching at will. But you do get the choice early in the game as the animus struggles with two over lapping feeds??? Or something like that. I can see how the option to switch at will may come later or I just haven't figured out how yet.

As you do get a choice for gender and it don't matter anyway as far as game play goes. Why does it matter?

@quor321 Story wise and lore wise it matters to me.

@saintlystorms regardless of gender the NPCs will react as programed. The story will continue in a similar manner if not the exact same manner, so how does it matter to the story?

@quor321 We were promised a good and logical explanation as to how the animus detected 2 genders. We got a good answer in Odyssey in regards to both Alexios and Kassandra touching the spear of Leonidas. As far as I'm concerned the explanation provided to us was stupid. It matters to me because I like to know what the Animus is capable of over each game and its functionalities - I'm invested in the modern day story which a lot of people aren't. To me, it matters to the story. It might not to many, but it does to me.

Ubisoft are so woke, gender Play No role anymore and eivor is a diverse Trans Viking, Sometimes He wears a beard and speaks calm, Sometimes He shaves His beard but speaks then in a very angry Tone.
This ist the Secret lore behind it.
