Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Finished the Story and Finished The Order...an ending that I wasn't exactlly prepared for but I'll say...fitting. Have the complete Thor Set minus his Hammer, still odds & ends to do scattered all over, go back to Asgard and almost done with River Raids. I'm glad though it's done...been a long haul on this one and been fun for the most part coming a long, long way when I was on that dock with rags and not much else watching the Settlement Grow and seeing one new Alliance after another on the map....Good game....
...I'll take a break from AC Games for a bit and then decide to go back to Origins or Odyssey and finish those...probably Origins as I just liked the Egypt setting and the central character |
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Is this game somewhat more limited than previous time periods, Ancient Egypt or Greece? Seems would be more scarcer land to wander. Might like it more actually if it were a bit more linear than Origins or Odyssey.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I dont think the history os lacking, its two issues for the game. First, even though they are Vikings its hard to set a game entirely in a Scandanavian setting as its a whole lot of white with little in the landscape. Adding is England is a good idea, but at this point historically it was largely rural and without much major structure. The game has given more than probably existed in a lot of these places at the time (York being one.... sure it had a city due to it being a Roman city and the wall the encompasses the city has stood there since way before the Vikings, but the Minster wasnt probably even built at that point. So they had to take certain liberties).
Secondly, the Egyptian and Greek histories have a wealth of large scale buildings, statues and locations that fit perfectly into this type of game. You want scale and size to truly immerse yourself into something that feels large. I think a later set game with lush forests and Robin Hood and King Richard would have made a more interesting setting. |

It's different in the sense that while you have freedom to choose and move around, with the enemy difficulty & leveling system you choose which Alliances you want to add which in England there are (11). And each will show what the Enemy Level is in that area. It's not forcing you to go in a line and follow a certain path...but when picking the Allianaces you're going after ones that are next to each other so you can choose whatever. And there's plenty in each as they all have they're own stories & twists. I liked this better than Odyssey for that reason, when going after a new Alliance you focused on that area doing that story, hitting side and extra stuff along the way and opening the map before going to the next.... Odyssey to me was way to spread out and seemed like ...too much to try and do while doing various side, main, extra quests. In Valhalla, pledge to a Alliance, go to that region and focus on that and no-where else, get their support and then choose another.... |

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
^ wow. That sounds cool. I might like the dirty rugged mostly snowy Viking era settings. Do you really have to forge alliances? Does that get complicated or is it fairly easy? I don’t remember any of that in Odyssey.

I really enjoyed how they laid out The Alliance map and doing them...each had a story in-itself...and some very surprising. You more or less focused on that area until done and then looked at The Alliance map on where's the next one. With Odyssey...I felt you were being sent all over the map trying to do the main one while ending up with a couple of side ones everywhere you went....Valhalla it's more grouped yet large... The other part is you also have far more...fine tuning...in your Gear and Character thru the Skill Tree as to how and what you want to be. With Dual Welding, and fairly extensive Armor and Weapon selection, the adding of "Runes" gems with ability, health, armor, weapon, elemental stats...you really have a lot to choose and do.....the one spot in the Skill Tree...the ability to Dual Weld Two Handed Weapons is the most important and game changer there is....IMHO.... |

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I downloaded the Gold Version earlier this week ($60 on Walmart site)
Im really liking this over Odyssey. Odyssey was overloaded with too many repetitive quests and Points Of Interests. I'm really liking Valhalla take on Side Quests (World Events) So far I've found six WE and each has been unique and fun to do. I'm 11 hours in but have only finished one main Quest lol. And now that I understand how the Dice game works I'm hooked on that mini game now :) My only two gripes are the healing by collecting herbs and animals, and the bird is useless. :( |
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Ireland DLC drops in a day or two, here's the trailer - looks great!

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I'm almost done with this game (probably down to the last few missions) and I stumbled across the cave where you can get Excalibur. So I place my tablets and I see I am missing one...one freaking tablet. Check my map, no more Britain icons anywhere, no more zealots to kill either. I have no idea how to find the last tablet (happens to be the 2nd one from the left when looking left to right). Does anybody know which tablet that is by chance or a resource that might say it? I've Googled and cannot figure it out.
|
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
IGNs guide lists all the tablets and where to get them.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I did find it... got Excalibur and finished The Order today. All wrapped up. I have no intention of getting 100% or getting the DLC. It was a fun game for sure but way too long (as always).

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Just downloaded. Guess I should actually play the game first. :lol:

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
^^ You bought the DLC before playing? That's quite a gamble.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Sooo.... yes.
|
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Well, technically I didn’t just buy that one Ireland dlc. I bought the gold edition which has them all, so it’s technically no as I didn’t buy that specific dlc. Just comes with my edition.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Ubisoft's E3 AC: Valhalla presentation on the game, stats, Wrath of Druids and the upcoming Seige of Paris DLC...and even dropping hints more to come. I put this down after finishing the story to take a break. I didn't get the Gold or Season Pass...Druids DLC reviews have been mixed a bit but the Seige of Paris looks interesting; I might bite on a sale later....
|
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I finally picked this up for $19.99 on sale. It's still on sale at Best Buy and Amazon if anyone wants to pick it up. Did you all prefer playing as the male or female Eivor? Kassandra was so much better than Alexios in Odyssey. I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it before I start playing.
|
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I agree regarding Kassandra in Odyssey and am just about to start Valhalla so also interested in what character people most enjoyed playing as here.
|
Re: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
I was a male (Eivor) for this one... it felt like it made sense considering the relationship of the boy to his dad and his "brother".
