I will add more feedback as I continue to get into the game...these are just my first impressions. I like the game, I love AC, but I have to say that Odyssey was and remains way better. Odyssey was a fine polished game, and the dev team listened to the community after release and continually improved the game to make it really the most polished and interactive AC yet! Its yet to be seen if this different dev team will do the same. It seems I am playing a game in Beta Phase, and not a polished and finished AAA Title. I get it that there will be some bugs here and there, but this release has been plagued with far too many!
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Continued:
12. No Mounted Combat - In Origins and Odyssey there is mounted combat, ie being able to attack animals or enemies while on a mount...why is this not in Valhalla? Constantly having to dismount to defend yourself against attacks on the roads is really annoying and especially since it was a feature in the previous games. WHY NO MOUNTED COMBAT?
13 In the Glowecestrescire Quest, there is an NPC with a Question Mark, sells a Map...but when you try and interact with him, nothing happens. There are 2 different of such NPCs haning aournd the same spot, the other you can interact with and purchase a map.
14 Aggro Animals - Ever been chased by an wild boar or other predators for over 500m? 1000m? It seems the devs forgot to put a range on the animals chasing you like in previous games. Another blunder or functioning as intended?
15 Animal Assassination Contracts - So new to Valhalla is that when you perform an assassination or you kill another viking, you then instead of stabbing them again to confirm the kill as in past games, but you put an ax in their hands so they can enter Valhalla. So why does is this ax animation also for Animals?? This makes NO SENSE and should be changed to the stabbing animation to confirm an animal kill.
Its 8pm CET, and my game just crashed AGAIN. Its now been 22 minutes since the last auto-save, so thats 22 minutes of game time now lost.
16 Invisible Fish - After catching a fish, there is an animation where Eivor is holding his catch..but the fish isnt there, and Eivor is just holding his hands out as if here were holding his catch.
17 Runes - There isnt a way to remove runes from equipment or clothing unless you move them from one item to another. We should be able to remove runes from an item.
18 Loadouts - In Odyssey a great feature what that we could have various loadouts, which would make alot of sense for Valhalla for various armor and weapon combinations. We need 5 Load Out Slots the same as we did in Odyssey.
I have completed the main quest line....and upon completion, all FAST TRAVEL points arent working! The fast travel points are grayed out and not functioning. I might as well not even play the game now! I am not going to ride a mount 20 mins long to get to a POI. This is just ridiculous!
19 Bjorn keeps haning aroud my settlement, but I cant recruit him. Recruit is grayed out when I try selecting it. This should be accessible and I should be able to recruit him.
20 Seems to be no possible way to conclude the wedding of the blacksmith. I seem to be stuck and cant get out of the wedding after talking to everyone possible and performing interactions like bobbing for apples, which has a delayed interaction sequence.
