So I've been wondering why in the world the past two games (Valhalla and Odyssey) have not been about assassins. undefined
This is a direct quote from the producer where they even admit that Eivor isn't an assassin. It just doesn't make sense.

Good evening from Greece and happy new year to everyone!
I wanted to discuss a topic that has not got as much attention as it should, in my opinion at least. Now that every personal view on ac valhalla has been written and discussed, I wanted to address my personal opinion not only for valhalla, but for ac in general.
IMO the biggest problem with assassin creed, is it's fanbase. Up until 2012, everybody hated Desmond.Every forum, comment, review, captured Desmond as a boring and blunt character. Ubisoft listened to the fans and killed him. After this decision, ubisoft didn't have and idea what they were doing with the franchise. We had like 5 games that the present day didn't progress a bit, and they 'finished' it in comics!!
Another issue the fanbase triggered, was the repeating tone of every new game. Even though I agree on some level, this made ubisoft changed the formula of the games, turning them into RPG. I am rpg game addict, I love playing them, but this is assassin's creed. You can't make a proper assassin's creed game with rpg elements. And we can see this in the last 3 AC games. Even though I enjoyed origins and loved Valhalla, this doesn't feel right. I want to feel like assassin, everybody wants to feel like assassin.
Unity is the most assassin's creed game we will ever have (speaking only for it's elements). Apart from its bugs and glitches, still the fanbase wanted a change, they didn't like it back then. But NOW you can see that everybody wants a game JUST LIKE IT!
Another example of this, do you think back to AC 3, they planned on bringing Desmond back as the Reader? Of course not. They did it because apparently he is likable again and we all miss him. The Grey thing Juno said, the 'find Eve' , the 'awaken the sixth' , were not meant to come back in any game! They killed her in comics! They brought these stuff back (and in a stunning way), because we cried out for a change, again! A change to a previous tone of AC. So we, as a fanbase, are also responsible on this issue. I hated ubisoft for so long killing my favourite franchise. But now I realise that we also are to blame for their decision. They should have never listened to any of those wanting Desmond removed. Let me know your view on this topic. I believe with Valhalla they did a first step of fixing their mistake. Only thing we can do is hope that they will continue with this story, and don't throw it away like they did with the previous one.

I wrote a post before, expressing how much I look forward to and how much I love this work.But recently, when I replayed Assassin's Creed Origins, I wanted to cry. Why is that?

The reason is that, with Valhalla, I've been waiting for it for so long, keeping an eye on what's going on, and when it became available for pre-order, I bought it as soon as it was available. However, after playing, I think the work has a lot of flaws. After replaying Origin, I felt even more like the production team wasn't sincere enough.

First of all, compared to the original picture, the physical effects of the cloth of the clothes really cannot bear to look directly at it. The clothes of the protagonist of the Hall of Valor are very stiff, and there is no feeling of swinging in the wind. Bayek's clothes are vivid in every detail. I don’t believe that the technology of the Montreal Working Group cannot go beyond the origin, at least the same standard, but now, the performance of the origin is much better. Aivor's fur shawl is like a cardboard. How can the fur be so stiff? Moreover, wind and sand can be seen everywhere in the origin, and no matter how strong the wind in the Hall of Heroes is, the clothes, fur and hair cannot be blown. Even the wind is too lazy to do it. The origin is sandstorm. Should there be snowstorms in Norway and Scotland?
Secondly, the appearance of the protagonist's equipment is too different from the CG, especially the cloak, which is the most intolerable! Don't tell me that you can hide the cloak, because that will hide the fur shawl. The fabric texture and physical effects of the entire Raven clan suit are very stiff, and the cloak behind it seriously affects the sense of substitution. Why didn't Valhalla be used at all for the advantages in "For Honor"?
Finally, I want to talk about the task of "The Way of Berserker". After Bjorn became a follower, every time I went online, I had to redeploy him once, and I couldn't keep him in the crew. This is a bug, is it difficult to fix it? And what I don’t understand is, what about his two-handed axes? What about his dual wielding hammer? The working group designed a series of characters, only to give us a crew member who has no characteristics except height? A shield and an axe. In his hand, it is like holding a plate in his left hand to block and waving his right hand. With a fork. . . Shouldn't Bjorn be made more like a berserker?

Can the physical effects of degraded clothes be improved? Can the cloak be removed? Can a berserker really be like a berserker? At least I can stay on the boat forever. . .
The deeper the love, the harder the hatred! Hope the guys in the working group can understand. I sincerely hope that Valhalla's work will be perfect. Hope you can consider my suggestion.
Hope the Montreal guys are happy every day. In any case, thank you for your dedication and hard work. Love all of you.
