@nimarus84 If you are looking for the classic assassins creed experience u might just go back and play one of the old ones because THIS IS ANOTHER RPG.

I for one like RPGs so these new games odyssey origins valhalla really doesnt bother me.

Playing through the actual game, questing, upgrading gear, building your settlement and killing the templars, ("Order of the Ancients" in this game) feels really satisfying. It does not feel grindy at all....... unless u want to 100% the game without online help but that doesn't count.

The story is engaging it might feel a little tiny bit slow about 75% through but immediately picks back up and is engaging again.... at least up to the point when u actually beat the games main story, then you will be saying to yourself "Now what!?"

End Game Content is really what this game is lacking. You will see videos on youtube explaining what odyssey did better than valhalla and let me save u the 15-30 minutes and tell u. Valhalla doesnt have the bounty system, or the endless mercanaries, ZEALOTS ARE NOT ENDLESS u can kill every single one of them, i think theres like 20 if im remebering correctly, or the conquest battles, or the turf wars (sparta/athens controlling a territory), u cannot kill civillians even tho u r a viking warrior.
Honestly i dont think it would break the game if ubisoft brought all of those features into valhalla, hell it might even improve the game.

Overall its a good game, its not so much whats in the game that sucks its whats NOT in the game that sucks, features from previous titles was pruned for no reason at all, endgame is boring atm, TBH id wait a year from now before even bothering to play it, u might even have a better gaming experience than i did when i first started playing, which makes me a bit jealous.

@turbosupragte Im a christian too, But seriously tho ubisoft is contemperary gaming company AND THEYRE FRENCH.....*cough*anywhoo

Yeah i disagree with the part where it said jesus was cleaned of all sin, jesus was sinless from birth until death and resurrection. I get it, but this isnt the only inaccuracy in the viking experience, First off the fur/leather is not accuratly depicted, the main viking weapon of choice was actually the spear NOT the axe as hollywood wants u to believe, according to arabic texts they had perfect physiques but stern faces and were very unhygeniec stating that they didnt wash even after meals. Norway is cold but isnt always cold, some sources believe that norway was going through an unusually warmer period at the time which led to increased agriculture and population increase which is the MAIN reason they migrated to other parts of the world. Saxons used round shields just like the vikings, kiteshields dont exist at this point in history. Im still learning more about the era this is all i can come up with off the top of my head.

@afewscarsmore im glad to see im not the only one that feels this way. Id love to see repeatable sieges implemented in the game but what i would also like to see in addition to sieges is the reindroduction of nation battles. you would either join alfred (templar arc) or fight against him (assassins arc) but seeing as this would be end game content you would choose which side to fight for any time u want as many times as u want.
Ubisoft did mention they are adding a game mode down the line that capitalizes on combat. so i can see them reimplementing nation battles from odyssey into valhalla, knowing them they would have u build an embassy building in your settlement and thats how they would implement it. However theres an ability that i hear alot of fans talk about which would be the shield wall ability, if they do decide to add nation battles they would have to structure it differantly so that you fight in a shield wall and as u go it breaks off into what u see in odyssey, with a boss to fight here and there. I think these should be called shield wall battles rather than nation battles, because for crying out loud your a damn viking serving in the shield wall is how u wage war.

I was thinking during my playthrough, after i beat the game and fully upgraded ravensthorpe how cool it would be if u could further upgrade your settlement for each of the upcoming expansion packs. things like cobblestone roads in and around your settlement instead of the dirt roads as a cosmetic option, or as a reward for a later expansion. or something like valkas hutt getting an upgrade to look like her old temple in norway. But these have to be realistic ideas too, like in the vikings show when lagatha kills azlaug and becomes ruler of kattagat she orders the contruction of fortifications, I actually half expected to see this as one of the buildings is being used to fortify your settlement however u dont really see any palisade defenses or anything of the sort built which i think would be a nice addition, however would probably hinder the possibility of futher settlement expansions, (wich i would be fine with) hopefully as something that would be unlocked after wrath of the druids as trading with dublin would make ravensthorpe richer and richer over time. After seige of paris i expect to have mounds of treasure (just for cosmetic purposes) inside my longhouse to show my progress through THAT story, because u see that early on in the vikings tv show as well...

@madness3v3 Yeah i was wondering this myself.. However tho i still love great swords, but it be nice to be able to carry a one handed sword too jst like the saxon soldiers. i also would like to see a two handed FLAIL

@fylkirpanzer Ik... i find it boring right now in my settlement. I cant wait to see what they do with the jomsvikings hall

There is a difference between repeatable and replayable, and i'm looking for replayable without feeling repetitive.

For Example: River Raids maps should have been procedurally generated, and the saint georges armor should have been purchased at vagn. Or something as simple as adding Conquest Battles, and bounty system.

I want to see meaningful end game content for those who completed the main story, and i think will expand the lifespan of the game even beyond the siege of paris dlc.

@alexandru27p the opposite happened to me i wasnt done killing the rest of them and the medalluons were all given to me rabdomly and the qust trggered. Hahahahah

@wastelandstag Ubisoft sold jomsvikings as tho they were this HUGE feature, when in reality u cant do nothing to them. the jomsvikings u r seeing is just other players lieutenants that they put gear on wich is the dumbest thing ive ever heard of.... Kind of wish they ditched the current jomsviking system for something more meaningful and custumisable to the player. I dont even feel like jomsiviking is a feature at all its BARELY implemented..

@alexandru27p Okay the opposite happened to me. i held off killing the rest of the order until i beat the story completely, by this time all of the zealots except one was dead 2 of the second in commands were alive and 4 lieutenants were alive, so i decide to go after just one of them and then when i confirmed the kill the rest of the order including the grand master (the father) died immediatly without me actually going out finding and killing them myself, i was so dissapointed.... I mean im glad i get to see what happened but id like to have seen what each member have said before they died, i was quite invested. then i went back to my settlement and the final mission worked perfectly for me

@fylkirpanzer Ik... i find it boring right now in my settlement. I cant wait to see what they do with the jomsvikings hall

@adarklore i loved odessey too lol the only thing i didnt like about it was when i swim i was looking at a full grown mans underwear other than that the game is pretty solid. Ubisoft went all out with that one.
