The he/she issues are confirmed bugs. People also report being called ”he” when playing female Eivor.
And if you are referring to a certain letter, this issue has also been patched to refer to the chosen gender.
Now Eivor being a traditionally female name remains kinda silly though. But since it is a rare Scandinavian name and sounds alien it’s easy to ignore/forget.
Personally i will always play as male in this game. Female Eivor just acts like a man all the time (even weird for a shieldmaiden) and a male viking makes so much more sense, feels more badass.

Finished it fully - all scires, all order folks dead, all modern day stuff done, gunnar married, randvi slept with. All that remains is the ten contracts for the weird black kid and fuck that busywork.
Great game, but way too long for its own good, because it cannot keep up consistent quality and is filled with subpar stuff, which then makes the great stuff in it kinda drown. Less is more Ubisoft! You are not Rockstar or CD Projekt, you cannot sustain quality for 150 hours like they can! So cut cut cut and leave only the good stuff in your games and you might be in running for GOTY someday.
Soundtrack was 10/10, visuals are quite beautiful too very often.

Exactly my sentiments. Final stages of Hunting...something...scire questline to go and then I'm done with this game. Forever.
9/10 would recommend in a heart beat, but too long for its own good.

Amazing game completed it but was puzzled at the end wondering if it had ended or not. I'm guessing that they'll tie up the story in DLCs?

It's an old lady name and a ridiculous choice for a male character. I've met several Eivors IRL. They're into knitting and bingo, not slaying monks.

That's hilarious. For me as nonscandinavian name Eivor sounds both male and bad ass. If I didn't know any better I would not mind naming my hypothetical boy kid Eivor.
The way Valhalla handles its ending is just really dumb, yeah. There are never credits, it never properly ends. I ended it after seeing
Eivor in modern day as Basim/Loki
Hopefully the expansions will be good and not bloated again..

Really enjoyed the East Anglia storyline. Anyone going for all the trophies / achievements in this? Seems a big( and long) task .

Is there something that negates the damage when swiming in cold lakes of water?

Man... if you're playing male Eivor, this game really tries to force some gay sex on you. In 65 hours, I think I have encountered 7 potential male lovers and only 2 female. Probably just reinforces the idea that they designed it with female Eivor as the default character.

My first AC game since Unity made me quit on the series.
Safe to say right now its a bust.
Made it to Asgard and had a mission bug and now I cannot complete that quest and am locked out of that entire storyline.
Googled it and it has been a major issues since release and no fix in site
Ubisoft release the most buggy games ever. Wish I bought Demon Souls now if I'm honest.
Don't have it in me to go back in hours of progress

Bugs are fine, the problem is it takes ages for them to fix it. There patch system is absolutely terrible.

Just pick up a different story line in the alliance map. Asgard arc can wait.

I'm about 28hrs in and it was only today that I realized that the main storyline goes through the alliance map. >_>. I had just been wandering around every waterway in places way above my level. I'm also at the end of the Asgard plotline. Things are flying now. Went from around level 60 to 100 today.

I kinda dont wanna go back now to asgard but i know i need to be done with that too i guess. But it will be just easy walk in park as most areas now even if they at power 250 im at 340 bitches you cant touch me,i can walk on water now.
Fishing is boring but i find shalow waters and just smash tons fishes with my spears. Those stones statues kinda sucks later in game they hard i dont have patience for them just leaving them.

If it doesn't make any sense to you, that's because it doesn't make any sense.

Right now, a few hours into the game, it doesnt make sense at all since there is no explications for it. Hopefully there will be some sooner rather than later and then it will become clear.
Right now it's just bullshit

Since I've been in quarantine for a few weeks now due to COVID-19, I bought the game just over 2 weeks ago and I already put 150 hours in. Finished nearly everything, absolutely adored nearly everything aside from some of the final achievements and mysteries, which were a bit too unprecise and random for my tastes. Progression system improved a lot, atmospheres are amazing, battle improved, loot feels more satisfying, story and characters are deeper than in Origins - and that was my favourite AC prior. Now? Well, Origins wins in the amazing location, but I feel like Valhalla is a better game in almost every aspect, despite a bit of glitches and jank. I gladly answer questions to anyone since I completed nearly everything there is in the game, including the hunting challenges, the Xbox achievements, all territories and even the camp-based stuff like the deliveries for the shop.

The plot excuse is weak.

Think I'll have to put this on hold while I spend the next few months on Cyberpunk.
It's been a decent 7/10 experience so far. The main reason I've enjoyed this one less than Origins and Odyssey is because the combat is boring (weaker skills/abilities/stamina system/etc). Also the repetitiveness of the story with each new zone makes it worse. I do think the world events (side quests) are better in this though.
Anyway, onwards to Cyberpunk.

yh later in game i start to kinda dont care about sigurd and later when he went to crazy side i dont wanna any mission with him anymore, and for now there are not missions with him , but i know it will be at some point soon i guess. but i dont care for him or need him rly. i build all place with my own hands my own loot i did all and he was never there at all, so fkc him anyway.
im real raven now khar khar!!!!

Anyhow the game hasn't switched it even once after hours. I found out I can switch from the inventory menu. Screw this, another ridiculous thing pushed by ubisoft

The combat is indeed very boring compared to odyssey. Also I really hate this wealth addition instead of finding items everywhere. What is really bothering me in this one the most so far is that everything feels so tedious and stretched for absolutely no reason. I know ubi is known for this, but it feels worst in this one than odyssey. I mean some buildings you don't even have access to doors or always have to find keys for them.
I really enjoyed odyssey and origins but after 6 hours into this one, I'm not feeling it at all

71 hours in and there's still more to do! I think I got what as the initial ending, and holy shit, the meta story sure gets wacky.
Really been enjoying my time with this one, even more so than Odyssey. I think I'll pick up the season pass as a trip to Ireland and Frankia sounds like a good time.

This is exactly how I feel. We're out here building something special for our people, saving everybody's asses, and building alliances. Fuck his stupid shit I don't need to chase magic I'll just split Alfred of Wessex in 2 with my great axe instead of being a crazy hobo with a creepy friend bothering everybody.

I know, but from a gameplay perspective it is a measly excuse to push the female character as default.
So its actually 9 armor sets totall unless they will bring another one i think its 9 then. But whats the point if i wont have enough those gold bricks to enhance other armor fully to test it. They not gold but i forgot how they called now but looks like golden bricks. Enhanced all weapon fully and that one start armor.
I love flyting games those are so cool rly never knew about those. Dont care for drinking as later it becomes kinda just hard. But flyting is cool even for me non eng guy.

There are many scattered, and from my understanding you can farm them later.

Hopefully I get it finished tonight. After this region there's only one that remains for me. Playing on the highest difficulty, which makes all the extra combat moves worthwhile.
Going for a 100% completion, which allows you to outlvl every region quite a lot. Therefore, regardless of my chosen difficulty, it seems a little easy at times.
Once you are over the initial level cap, you're back into the mastery system, but it's more limited. You can only continously upgrade your main "style". Like in Origins.

yes i know where they are as i explored all 120 hrs but they just later in game at higher power lvl area and one weapon needs like 3 to just ehnace it , so if you have like pairs of axes ,spares and large axes and then all armor to enhance thats a lot ingots you need and i enhanced all now, but its not possible to do that same for rest armor even for one more armor it would be hard. farm later ? not sure how or when but it must be like too late in game t hat you would care to change armor .

I've heard you can also buy it in the store once your settlement is fully at level 6. I'm a sliver away from that, though, so can't verify.

I got the platinum trophy for this last week on PS5, at 118 hours. My favourite AC from the "RPG trio". Liked it more than Origins and Odyssey.
It also felt like it already includes 2 DLC expansions as base content vs the past two games.
I absolutely adored exploring this world, what a beautiful game.

Yh but setlement be at max lvl its just very late in game i still need one more building to upgrade to max .
They sell titanium so what just 5 at time, and when you bought 2 times 5 noone in other places has it anymore. So if its same deal then its no use. I have money but cant buy titanium still need to look around for it to upgrade weapons.
I like this a lot but its good that its different from previous in skills and ship battles no more. So when i will miss those things i will go back to odyssey for ship battles . I still didint finished odyssey.

Are you sure you've done all the raids? 1-2 popped up for me once I unveiled foggy areas. And most of the final alliance pledges give you 100 supplies each, so by the time you're approaching the final couple pledges you'll have upgraded everything probably.
