168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the third iteration of Ubisoft's revitalized formula for the series. And like many games that came out in 2020, it was Viking themed. It seems living out a Nordic fantasy is on many people's list, considering 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:how many Viking games are out there.
Although, there aren't too many that are as vast as Valhalla, or that tell the tale of their raids on Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Eivor isn't the most interesting protagonist that the developer has conjured up, but I guess she – or he – was interesting enough in the game's setting. However, it's the silly things we made Eivor do that made them stand out of the crowd. Here are some of those things every Assassin's Creed Valhalla player can relate to.
8 Kicking Wildlife In The Facꦑe 🌳
Valhalla's massive open world means you'll find yourself on horseback a lot. The game lacks what its predecessors had in terms of mounted melee combat, so you're restricted to merely kicking people while riding.
So how does one keep themselves entertained during a long ride? Kick anything you see, of course. Nobody playing an open world game really uses roads unless they have to – they usually travel as the raven flies. That means there aren't many human NPCs to kick around, so it's the native wildlife that bears the brunt of Eivor's boot. You may feel guilty for hoofing a harmless deer in the face, but Ubisoft wouldn't have made the kick, and resultant bellow, sound so satisfying if we weren't meant to do it.
7 Trying To Get It On With Randvi While Sigurd Is Right There ✃
Randvi is one of the best characters in Valhalla -- while the rest of the Raven clan throws axes first and asks questions later, she creates an elaborate strategy to take over England. Unfortunately, Sigurd’s ambitions drive a wedge in their relationship. Fortunately, Eivor has been waiting in the wings all this while. What starts off as a will-they-won't-they blooms into England's hottest power couple.
However, Sigurd eventually returns, and things get a little awkward. But that doesn't stop players from being absolute dawgs, trying to romance her regardless. At least she has the right sense to point out that it would be a bit weird if you tried to sleep with your step-brother's wife right in front of him.
6 Being T𒀰errible At Drinꦰking Games
Where there are Vikings, there has to be mead. One of the several mini-games in Valhalla involve Eivor going up against their friends – or absolutely random people – in a drinking competition. Of course, being a Viking, you'd think that downing questionable alcohol would be pretty easy – but it really isn't.
In fact, I'd go as far as saying this mini-game is one of the toughest things to do in the game, especially towards the end when everything starts swaying and Eivor can barely stand straight. Mastering the timing of the button-prompts is no joke, and most players will be able to feel Thor looking down in disappointment.
5 Firing Underleveled River Raid Crew Like A Soulless Corporation ไ
As open as Eivor is about letting outsiders settle in Ravensthorpe, the River𝕴 Raids crew is mostly hand🌱led like a ruthless corporation, where everyone is dispensable and can be fired without warning or severance.
Most players will only want the very best raiders at their side while looting and plundering, so that means as soon as the Jomsviking Hall is leveled up, anyone who's underleveled is either immediately fired or benched. The River Raids industry is cut-throat, and if Vikings don't have what it takes to work in a fast-paced, unpredictable, and high-energy environment, players will probably let go of them.
4 Using Tw꧟o Shields To Strike Fear Into The Hearts Of Enemies
What's more terrifying than a bunch of longships approaching your peaceful village? That one Viking bashing in skulls using only two shields. Valhalla's weapon system allows Eivor to wield any weapon in any hand, so obviously players picked up two shields, turning themselves into a Viking fidget-spinner of death.
Plenty of Jomsviking avatars suggest that this is an ongoing trend. There's no real reason for it, the dual-shield combos aren't great at all. But as with most video games they're doing it because they can.
3 Letting Fate Decide Yo🤡ur Skill Points, Because Who Has The Time?
Eivor is a Viking. V💝ikings enjoy simple pleasures like mead, axes, and pillaging. They do not have the patience to explore an overtly intricate chart, which has no understandable pattern, in hopes of min-maxing their stats. Most players will look for a major skill unlock and work their way to it without even glancing at the minor upgrades along the way.
Once all the desired major skills are unlocked, not many will be bothered about scouring the massive skill tree to assign a skill point for a negligible increas🅠e in ranged damage or stealth damage. Thankfully Ubisoft foresaw this and included an auto-assign system, so you can devote your mind completely to attacking defenseless peasants.
2 Continuing The Spartanಌ Kick Legacy
One of the most satisfying features of Assassin's Creed Odyssey was the Spartan Kick. Evidently inspired by Leonidas' epic scene from 300, you could launch enemies off cliffs or ships. It was one of the most used skills in Odyssey, and that trend has continued in Valhalla with the Kick of Tyr skill.
Of course, you're a Viking this time around, so you're obviously going to hack enemies with an axe before kicking them. Unfortunately, England doesn't have as many cliffs as ancient Greece, so players have to resort to kicking enemies off battlements instead.
1 Wishing Your Longship Crew Could Sing Like The Jackdaw's
Raiding villages is as peak Viking as you can get. But they say it's about the journey, not the destination – so Ubisoft saw it fit that the Nords tell stories of their brave deeds while on the way to pillage a peaceful settlement. Unfortunately, nobody really gives a damn about Bjorn Bloodtooth's time as a Berserker.
While the Nordic songs make for great traveling music, series fans will acknowledge that they don't quite match up to the sea shanties of Edward Kenway's crew in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. They perfectly encapsulated the pirate life and even made you want to crack open a bottle of rum.
