Assassin's Creed: World of Vikingcraft

This looks retarded

Looks silly and I never cared about fake historical games that are ass creed.

>only people excited for this are literal retards from Zig Forums that thinks vikings are super chad and "aryan" and that's enough for them to be hyped
Your comment was good up until you went full autist on it

FUCK YES i am

>Caring about assassin's creed after Ezio

Will the new Assassin's Creed game include pic related?

I sure hope a diverse and progressive company like Ubisoft does, it would be unfair to undermine true European pagan culture by omitting such a vibrant cultural practice.

Surely Vikings wont act according to modern Christian conceptions of virtue as opposed to their historical value system in order to vilify Christians as evil and intolerant while painting pagans in a good light.

Unless it was a farm tool, no. They weren't used in combat til a few hundred years later

as if ubisoft gave a shit to historical accuracy after the ezio games

and?

im almost 100% sure that they didnt. They were very primitive compared to the rest of europe. They used swords, axes, bows, spears and MAYBE hammers

I don't get it.
Even a casual wikipedia search would tell you that's not the runes that were used in the viking period.
Casuals aren't gonna be able to tell the difference, so it can't be because it's what casuals expect.
And yet, without fail, they put in the elder futhark instead of the younger futhark.

the whole story line with like ancient alien human like things was put aside quickly

ummm... no?

prove me wrong. i saw threads about this game, they constantly devolve to "omg guys vikings are so cool, and fuck libtards"

King Aelfred is absolutetly right in the trailer. Vikangs were godless murderous destructive barbarians and they deserved to be murdered and pacified which they eventually did get. "Close minded bigotry" Absolute kek, but what to expect from Ubishit

Their interview press release thing specifically said that Alfred won't be the villain, and that the Vikings wont all be the good guys.

I haven't been excited for an asscreed game since I got 3 and that turned me off the series entirely. And this got all the signs of just being another ubisoft sandbox grindathon, with a token effort story in it. Admittedly I like the norse mythology stuff and viking inspired designs are always cool, but it does not fit the Assassin's Creed's tone or style. Had this not been a Asscreed game, I might have been more interested in it.

>Time travel / Memory bullshit involving Ezio recruiting descendants / ascendants across history.
That'd be wild and just the kind of nonsensical bullshit they'd try to pull with the story.
Wonder if they'd try to bring Desmond back somehow, considering people tend to want that.

Pretty sure it's to highlight that whole 'it's not black and white' theme they mentioned in one of the interviews.
The king isn't going to be a moustache twirling villain, the Vikings aren't going to be saints.
Whether they'll stick to or even deliever that is up in the air although im not holding my breath.

>That'd be wild and just the kind of nonsensical bullshit they'd try to pull with the story.
at least theyd have some kind of story again

Everything they've said so far seems like an improvement over Odyssey, but we won't really know until we see some gameplay. I'm hoping that the map is a little smaller and the game isn't 60 hours long. The settlement building stuff sounds interesting, so I'm hoping that isn't too shallow.

Look up Viking games and you’ll see about 50 different titles in the past 3 years. And that’s excluding television and film.

Dunno if I'm hyped, we will see what they learned from their Breakpoint debacle.
If they tone down the lootbox bullshit which they wont it could be a great game

>no nigger vikings and no muscly female warriors in the trailer

I am cautiously waiting for more information and actual gameplay footage.
The last AC I cared about was Black Flag, but just because it was a good pirate game, with fun ship combat, did not care much for the AC part. I never played subsequent games, because the gameplay looked like the usual boring Ubisoft crud.
This I only care about, because we do not have many viking games and I do like nord culture and myths. I hope they do not inject to much progressive horseshit in it.

This is bullshiy neither Isabella of Castile nor Matilda were actually warriors and the rest are just women who took up arms to defend a city ot something like that they were not actually warriors

Yes, but those were still explained within the context of the game's Templars vs Assassins and ancient Precursor stuff.

There's a lot of minor anachronisms and goofy/magical stuff in the series, and the SJW whitewashing stuff, but the base setting of every game has been pretty good. If you played AC2 and went to Northern Italy after you could actually recognize stuff. Even Origins gives a nice portrayal of Alexandria and Odyssey of Athens.

But what we're seeing in Valhalla aren't vikings, saxons, or 9th century England.

Attached: authenticity.png (1998x1020, 2.83M)

Absolutely not. Flails were never commonly used in any period, a mace/morning star was always a better option. Flails were a meme.
90% of early medieval combat in northern Europe was shield-wall based so you'd use a spear and short sword/seax. Richfags would have had a longer sword (mainly to flex on poorfags) but still mainly used a spear. Really poverty peasants might have used an adze, mattock or billhook.
Towards the end of the 10th century weapons got a bit more diverse and long hafted axes became more common in order to break through shield walls but these were the exception.

>ten warrior women throughout history
>HA, THAT'LL LEARN HIM

Same shit with how one account by an arab says women had the right to divorce, which is strange compared to his own culture, and the sagas mention they had some political leverage and suddenly they're "important to society" as if its the modern age.

There were plenty stone buildings, mainly ecclesiastical but many manors were at least partially stone by the 9th century. However, that building looks more 15th century if anything and the kite shields are 12th century so I'm not defending them.

>If they tone down the lootbox bullshit
what I mean with this is that ADHD ridden people that can't wait for cosmetics and such can buy them but there is nothing that doesn't unlock in the game with normal gameplay or is hidden behind a paywall

this period WILL be boring to climb on shit, though. even londinium is not some sprawling metropolis at this point.

Not at all, spears were the most common by an order of magnitude

as long as the viking trys to assassinate someone its fine to call them an assassin.
aka attempt to kill a specific person, stealth is optional

They started faking height in AC3 by making buildings way taller than they actually were. The openly admitted that to make it more fun to climb around.

lel

Viking setting is great though, if only it wasn't a generic fantasy.
Vikings have a long history and influenced a lot of european civilizations, in fact, the period AC is going to cover is extemely important in English history because it culminates with the Danelaw which left its mark forever in English culture, even now we use some words from Norse origin thanks to the mix between saxon and viking blood.

Then they shouldn't have picked the setting to begin with.

By what's cool. I imagine they choose the American Revolutionary War for AC3 because they banked on US heavily buying the game for patriotic reasons, even though it was a poor choice from how the games worked up to that point.

Don't bother. Idiots think assassin means some super elite stealth master instead of just a dude that gets payed to kill a specific person.

Makes no difference. The game feels more fun with Alexios because his silly voice matches the silly dialogue.

Play as Kassandra. She cute.

"And that no one may wonder that this sex laboured at warfare, I will make a brief digression, in order to give a short account of the estate and character of such women. There were once women among the Danes who dressed themselves to look like men, and devoted almost every instant of their lives to the pursuit of war, that they might not suffer their valour to be unstrung or dulled by the infection of luxury. For they abhorred all dainty living, and used to harden their minds and bodies with toil and endurance. They put away all the softness and lightmindedness of women, and inured their womanish spirit to masculine ruthlessness. They sought, moreover, so zealously to be skilled in warfare, that they might have been thought to have unsexed themselves. Those especially, who had either force of character or tall and comely persons, used to enter on this kind of life. These women, therefore (just as if they had forgotten their natural estate, and preferred sternness to soft words), offered war rather than kisses, and would rather taste blood than busses, and went about the business of arms more than that of amours. They devoted those hands to the lance which they should rather have applied to the loom. They assailed men with their spears whom they could have melted with their looks, they thought of death and not of dalliance. Now I will cease to wander, and will go back to my theme." -Gesta Danorum, Saxo Grammaticus,

If you told me you can't climb shit anymore in the latest asscreed, I wouldn't even be surprised. I doubt they consider climbing inherent to the series at this point.
It's all RPG lite from here. Witcher 3 sold well, so that's gotta be good game design, right?

I wish they would just pull the trigger and make a full WWI or WWII Naval Warfare game, not part of the AC Franchise. They clearly found that making Naval games works, people love em, and it's tiring that the only alternative to WWI/WWII era Naval Gameplay is fucking World of Warships which sucks ass, more money grubbing than even EA, and is too PvP focused.

No we actually have accouns from all over the place that say man fought , we have archelogical evidence of battles , we also know that men fought both after and before the viking age so it is quite clear there were warriors during the viking age , But there is no such thing when it comes to female warriors

Why do you want a 100+ hours of shallow side quests, boring grind and collectathon?
I wouldn't mind long games, if there was actually something meaningful to do. Alas, that is not the case in Generic Ubisoft Games.

I didn't care for the game until they showed the Flails.
I love flails, which other games let me use Flails other than Diablo 2/3?

Thats really scraping the bowl. I didn't mind bootleg pirates of the caribean characters and story sure, but 80% of the game was filler, theres only so many times you can have fun by jumping of a ship mast, everything related to assassins creeding dragged the game down. Sidequests were abysmally bad, ship combat was a joke from the moment you start. Somehow the lvl1 boat shoots mini-nukes at a fort designed to defend against ships the first mission. LEVELED FUCKING BOATS.

That game was dissapointment of the year, like a 3d cookie clicker, nothing in it was challenging or engaging, anytime you decided to immerse yourself and have fun, the game slaps you on thje wrist and says "NO! Go collect 10 of thing, do as youre told!".

Sure maybe by AC standarts that acceptable, but objectively as a video game it was a souless corporate slog.

Tbh all of this can attain to every ass creed game. The only reason they are fun is very few games match their concept. If you dont enjoy them because they are semi historical then I wouldn't understand why they would want to be played.

I blame Boudica that sparks the female warrior meme. Fucking Irish ruins everything they touch. Even their "beer" taste like sewer.

What a tweest.

Well, apparently what they are going for is that the catastrophic event was just postponed by Desmond, but it will still happen in the unforeseeable future, also the whole animus thing actually transporting people to the memory instead of watching a recording, and how the animus is not technologically advanced enough as it lacks enough "power" to alter time

Story takes a pretty fucking steep nosedive once Askalaad is out of the picture.

>Ubisoft finally dropping the realism to just go full Historical Science Fantasy
>Going to get to fight a bunch of mythological Norse beings and monsters
So Fenrir is 100% guaranteed, and I'm going to guess that the Golden Bull is too. What else do they have that can be added? Trolls? Four different kinds of giants?

So is Ubisoft going to ignore marketing material, player statistics and any sort of historical realism by making the female protagonist canon again like they did with Odyssey?

This.
Spears have reach, so in warfare that would be the go-to weapon of most soldiers. Pike or Halberd being the 'best in slot' item of the era.

100%

I know sadly. After recent chapters I've lost all interest in Vinland Saga and dropped it.

Lol all women are dudes in makeup dude wtf get woke already.

'Celts' aren't even really a real thing. Brythonic and Goidelic cultures were pretty different and genetically it's all Neolithic farmers anyway.

Alexios was cannon. Kassandra was just the cover of the comic no one bothered reading.

Play as Alexios.
Kassandra is still in the game, and she's perfect in that role.

There was a trophy leaked for killing a jotunn

Wouldn't surprise me if most of the verticality and beautifying stoneworks was far beyond the capabilities of the ancient greeks.

sami are just the worst.

more entitled snowniggers the world has never seen.

Kassandra was objectively the better choice and the story makes more sense if you play as her.

Pretty sure they made Kassandra canon.

Makes sense if its Odin himself. The creator of runes.

Would the Silk Road reach England at this point?

Yes because a sole female participating in the Olympic Games while nobody bats an eye makes sense. Fuck off tranny.

There is no canon choice.

Yep player characters name is feminine

If you'd look at any map, you'd know that Turkey is a neighboring country of Greece. This makes sense in a historical setting.
Are you an American supporting a white Jesus, perhaps?

No, the viking just believes he is seeing Odin.

Why do people pretend AC ever cared about historical accuracy when the first game had ancient aliens and magic artifacts that granted supernatural abilities?

Thanks my man

Because it was originally historical fantasy.
Now it's just complete fantasy.

>If you'd look at any map, you'd know that Turkey is a neighboring country of Greece. This makes sense in a historical setting.
You realise Turkey was inhibitated by greeks and these people look indian no greek or even turkish

Because the juxtaposition between fairly accurate history and sci-fi bullshit was fun.
Now it's just generic fantasy.

Was stabbing the Saxon in the eye with a bitch-blade meant to be a "yeah gottem!" moment, because it just made me sympathise all the more with the Templars. Then again so does every AC game.

It makes more sense than magical forges, Atlantis, ancient aliens, sphinxes and machines that let you experience the memories of your ancestors. Kill yourself.

No it dosent women were especitly banned from taking part in the olympics hence why they did everything naked to stop women from taking part

maybe desmond are modifying history, this is before AC1 how is hidden blade suppose to exist?

While you're right that Kite shields were not invented, never mind being widely used by the saxons, by the year the game takes place, guessing 880's. Our earliest source of kite shields existing was the late 10th century in Germany. The normans invading england also used kiteshields in 1066, which brought them to England.

Hidden blade's origin is Ancient Persia as seen in Odyssey DLC.

Pretty sure Odyssey already retconned that with the DLC.

Women had their own Olympic games. You should also realize by now that Ubisoft pushes a blantant femenist/leftist agenda

Animus did it. The Greek simulation is stated to be relatively inaccurate in-universe early on.

>People don't know that this is all just ramping up to make AC a prequel series to For Honor
AC Japan is next, and that will end with the Animus software going Haywire and locking all its users in.

Everything in the Assassin's Creed universe is a simualtion, sometimes on several different levels, on top of it being an alternate history videogame essentially.

Anachronisms are easily explained away.

Then why bother with it?
The simulations the player does are all meant to be for gathering accurate information which is kind of impossible in a inaccurate simulation.
Legit all they need to do is drop the modern day stuff being connected with the past and just act like it's an Abstergo game.

I can't wait for the AC2 reimagining where Ezio is now a Condottieri who travels around Italy killing sharks.

>AC goes full isekai with users stuck in the Animus.
I could see it happen for an AC MMO.

Now THAT could be a WoW killer.

That's where the plot is hinting on going, in Odyssey "the ones who came before" mention to Layla/Bayek how the animus only lacks power to modify time, that's why they get desynced/must sync

ValhlaV

>It’s real
Lmao fucking TV Tropes faggots

Considering how Layla modified the animus, it'd actually impossible to pull yourself out if things go wrong. That thing puts you in a near comatose state.

Forgetting the mountain?

They dwelve on the possibility of reality being a simulation, and cite the whole "man dreaming about being a butterfly" thing, how all futures that the ones that came before foresaw are actually real

>You've experienced the Bleeding Effect. Layers upon layers of reality, each blurring into the next.

They already announced that it's going the Odyssey route where you pick the gender. Doubt they'll do the siblings route again though.

Yeah, 12th was a typo-I meant 11th. Didn't know about them existing in 10th Century Germany though, that's cool

>the bearded
This isn't actually what you're called in game, right?
That would be stupid, everyone and their axe had a beard in the viking period.

$10 on the games intro is set during the Vikings journey to Turkey, they find the assassins tomb and thats where they find Ezios corpse glitching out, mistake it for Odin and get a hidden blade

Viking nicknames were sometimes really fucking obvious, or sarcastic jokes. But The Bearded just sounds so boring and uninspired. There was 1 dude called Bare Legged, or one who was "Stingy with food"

No doubt if traders wanted to make their way there it could. But it's highly unlikely with the Med being the center of European trade

Doesn't the leaked trophy list state the game starts with Ragnar's raid on Paris in 845?

kek

last AC game I played was Black Flag and I intend on getting this - have any mechanics within the series changed or been added?? Just wondering what I've missed

Most buildings in 9th century England were wood, but there were a number of churches and some manorial structures built entirely (or more often partially) of stone. Especially in the north a lot of the stone was Roman spolia

They're not underdeveloped, that's the anachronism. You're going to see sprawling 9th century York, London and Winchester, filled with stone buildings and castles rather than mud huts.

The Anglo-Saxons only built churches out of stone, and repaired Roman fortifications. They used timber for everything else.
Castles didn't get built in England until the Normans arrived in 1066 and built like 80+ in the first two decades.

Attached: WinchesterPalaceModel.jpg (1798x697, 454.58K)

The silk road never went further than Constantinople and by extension Rome, than trade split of from there into Northern and Western Europe

>have any mechanics within the series changed or been added
yeah, they added a level-based combat system that acts like a very grindy RPG

Play Origins, same director as Black Flag and this. Its a good story and it doesnt have all the bloat of Odyssey but changes up the combat style

You hardly could climb shit in the Egypt and Greece games and there was no hidden blade.

It's a female name in modern scandi context, but in the viking age the name was used for both male and females.

>Vikings
>Two handed swords
>Flails

LMAO is Ubisoft even trying at all anymore?

Origins had the hidden blade.

>The Anglo-Saxons only built churches out of stone
that was the belief for a very long time, but there were some manorial stone structures constructed in the mid-late Saxon period.

Origins also lets you use a fucking shield.

>You hardly could climb shit in the Egypt
>literally every surface is climbable including valley faces
?

Wouldn't York be named Jorvik at this time?

Bayek got the hidden blade like 2 hours into the game. Did you even play it? He was also the one who first cut his finger off by using it, because the dumb ass used it the wrong way around.

Yes.

Every single game they add new mechanics and then by the next game they will take them away even if the mechanic is an improvement or non thematic. I guess this is the autism of having a thousand studios.

I never played Odyssey, are there really no shields in a game set in fucking Greece?

just a 100% incorrect post here

proof?

Both it and VeeKangz are historically inaccurate pagan propaganda

It's probably referring to his axes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearded_axe

barely felt like one, couldn't use it for a cheeky instant counter kill, or even guarantee a stealth kill

The actual name was Eoferwic, Jorvik was the Danish name and the name of the Anglo-Scandinavian kingdom there.

just the player can't use a shield. enemies have them

Origins is much better as a whole but Odyssey has better setting and also has sailing.

Not to mention that goods traveled a lot farther than any single merchant. It's not like the Chinese were dropping by in Constantinople to sell their silks.

but in the viking age the name was used for both male and females.
I've literally never heard of a unisex name in Old Norse. Source?

Enemies can use them, but in the first few hours you'll unlock a combat ability to literally delete shields with one button

Attached: 20190817201132_1.jpg (2560x1440, 372.05K)

There are shields all over the game, but you don't use one. Guessing because the Mysthios never trained as a spartan and the greek Aspis shield is a formation shield. But it's still retarded they traded the off hand weapon for a Dagger spear head.

I despise the way night looks in Origins and Odyssey.

odyssey only had few areas better than origins. about 80% of origins setting is better. sailing was good the first 2-3 times but it got real tedious real quick for me

Odyssey was in itself already a downgrade from Origins in case you haven't noticed.

>a high ranking women gets a ceremonial burial with her husbands/sons swords and horses.

I'm 99% sure the author is deliberately making it as bad as he can possibly can without the editorial office realizing that he's doing it on purpose, only so he can do something new because he said many times he's sick and tired of the setting already.

I'm talking graphics here.
They ported the Isu outfit from Origins into the final Odyssey DLC and it just looks out of place because of the lower textures.

But Valhalla looks to be back at that Origins level of graphics rather than Odyssey.

>Are you an American supporting a white Jesus, perhaps?
Jesus wasn't an arab though, he came from the east. Also considering how many of his teaching are basically copypasted from Taoism and how he preached "The Way" which is also what Taoism was called at the time, it's quite probable he was just a traveler that shilled reskinned Taoism in the middle east.

Nigger we've had fantasy shit since Origins, you literally fight mythological monsters and shit in both Origins and Odyssey, even Anubis was a boss fight in Origins.
Also we already know from leaked achievement list that there will be mythological monsters such as Jotun and Jormungandr and that both Hel and Valhalla are actual explorable locations.

Alfred built his royal halls of stone, and there are a handful of sites where manorial and defensive structures were appended with stone construction such as at Falcombe Netherton and Sudgrave. There are several examples from the 11th century as well but obviously it's harder to positively date these to pre-conquest

They didn't, in fact Alexios was on literally all promo material, the game's icon, the collector's edition, the label on the disc, etc. Everything really.
Alexios' VA straight up confirmed game was made with only Alexios in mind and his lines were recorded first and Cassandra was added later in development.
And then you have AC3 Remaster codex entries straight up stating Alexios was the canon one.
If you think about it then it makes sense because Cassandra as a woman could never do all of the shit Alexios does due to time period reasons, but when she's the masked villain nobody knows she's a woman and her role in the plot makes sense, furthermore there's the SJW angle with whoever was the villain becomes a demigod you meet in the modern day portion so of course they'd rather have Alexios be just a regular mortal that died long ago while Cassandra the "villain" becomes the timeless demigoddess to guide the modern day female protag.

>You hardly could climb shit in the Egypt
As soon as the game starts you literally have to climb around a giant tomb, and then once you get to Siwa there's an enormous temple you can climb. The vast majority of the areas you go to have high elevations you can climb or enormous buildings and temples.

Kassandra is in the book as chosen as "canon" to please SJWs.

In reality its this Alexios was the original character, everything was made for him, hell there was an interview with the 2 VAs and it was said that Kassandra' was only casted months after Alexios VA already finished recording

Some of those towers look gothic though. A stone square or round keep wouldn't look out of place but not turret roofs with paved spires.

Even the graphics are downgraded, textures aren't everything man, watch the video, there's a ton of effects missing such as various particle effects, battle dust etc.

I just hope for some girl on girl action for the female protagonist.

Yeah I was wrong, looked it up.

isof.se/sprak/namn/personnamn/dagens-namn-i-almanackan/kalender/namnsdagar/namnkalender/2013-11-04-eivor-ejvor.html

The book was swept under the rug in case ya don't know and since AC3 Remaster came after the book and straight up says Alexios is canon, it's pretty much all the proof you need that the book was quietly swept under the rug.
Don't expect Alexios or Cassandra to ever show up again anyway outside of Odyssey if only so normies can be pleased, but for all intents and purposes Alexios is the true canon one.

Coom somewhere else loser

No, faggot.

there is also one more thing not in the video
In Origins if you go into those big paint(?) puddles(there are several different colored ones at certain locations), the paint reacts to bayek and disperses or whatever according to how you move

In Odyssey if you step into one, nothing happens

Understandable, have a good day

Thank you, you too kind sir.

They litteraly took the rigging from the male model and copy/pasted it on the female model so she strolls like a dude

Man, they really updated the graphics in clash of clans! wow!

Did Anglo Saxons use those kind of shields?

No worries, everyone makes mistakes.
I wonder if the devs got it confused with Ivarr or Ivorr - they sound kinda similar with an English pronunciation.

Any info on what I can spend Ubisoft coins on? my card is ready.

No, they would also be using boss grip shields like the Vikings. Their style of fighting was near identical.

Vikings are the cringiest shit they could’ve gone with and really shows the lack of creative drive with this franchise. Same thing happened to GoW.

Which ones?
The square ones, nah, I think they jsut got that idea from a tv show.
The round ones, yeah, although IIRC the Saxon variants tended to be convex instead of flat like the Norse.
The long ones, yeah, but not until way after the game is set - the Normans imported them in 1060 or so.

Might be that.
"They sound similar so let's go with this"

I legit wonder if Ubisoft knew that and decided to take liberties or were genuinely unaware.

Yeah, I'm referring to the long ones.

They don't care, as the layman has no idea and probably wonder where the horned helmets are. They play fast and loose with history.

well the feudal japan everyone wants is an oversaturated setting these days and they've attempted anything else interesting

>I legit wonder if Ubisoft knew that and decided to take liberties or were genuinely unaware.
If they're unaware, they're unaware on the level of not bothering to do a single google search in the entirety of development.

Not kite shields. Ubisoft are complete niggers with armour and weapon design.

There are 13th century stone castles in the 9th century. They don't give a flying fuck lmao

Every single thread with the AC3R argument, it drives me nuts. I'm on your side that Alexios is the best choice to be canon and Kass makes no sense especially because of the Olympics, but the AC3R argument is idiotic. For argument's sake let's say Alexios never existed as an option, would Connor in AC3R have Kass' armor? Would you expect Connor to crossdress when Connor never wore Shao Jun's robes and neither did any other Assassin until Evie? They didn't even give Aveline her robes.

If Connor owns the armor physically then he owns armor from 100 years into the future and from a person who is around 10 years old in an entirely other country.
If Connor doesn't own the armor and it's based on the Animus then Abstergo has DNA from people it doesn't get until years after 3, breaks its own modern day consistency, it means that Abstergo should have already been searching for the Shroud, Koh-i-nooh, Observatory, and the Sword of Eden all the way back in 3.
The argument makes no sense from either side. The only way this argument works is just that Ubisoft wanted to add them so they're added because of Ubisoft, and that doesn't make anything canon, it just means Ubisoft wanted them in.

Does anyone really want now that? I remember want for it during the original trilogy but barely hear it mentioned anymore compared to western European settings.

nah, it's boring. even poo setting is more interesting.

The AC3R argument is mostly used as a cherry on top since the meat of the evidence comes from Alexios' VA straight up saying the game was written with only him in mind, him finishing the recording sessions MONTH before Kassandra was even conceived and then Kassandra's VA even corroborating that story.
That's literally all the evidence that's needed to know that Alexios is canon, besides as you've stated there's the Olympics argument, but even then there's more than just Olympics.
A female would never be allowed to be a captain of the ship, a female would never be allowed to join Spartan army (even for training) etc.

Chain veil was a thing, viking helmets have been found with the chain still intact. Scale armour though, that's a doubt.

Who's the lady? At least the man is Scandinavian.

I'm not even much of a history autist but fuck me those steeples/pointed turrets are pissing me off. It wouldn't be so bad if they were flat square or round keeps as a revisionist thought. But pointed is what, like 400 years early for England?

Scale mail was a thing over a thousand years prior to the game. The romans used it, the arabs used it, the Carolingians used it, the normans used it in later centuries. Scale mail is the least issue.

>Red haired
>Scandinavian

He is a Celt.

Cecilie Stenspil and Magnus Bruun, they're both Danish.

At the end of the day they're probably going to dance around this fact so as not to piss off anyone from either camp, same deal with this game. I doubt we'll ever see which side is canon though Alexios and Eivor are simply the most logical options based on the time period in general. Maybe in a couple years we'll get Animus entries by Shaun again and get confirmation.

Yeah, the spire would have been a later addition from the Normans.

Gave up on the series after Origins
I skipped Unity and Syndicate but before that the series was pretty enjoyable

From my understanding there isn't really a framing narrative now, just a bunch of different eras so Ubi can continue to milk the series. Which is an artistically bankrupt decision I would expect of them.

No. AC is the epitome of nuvideogames together with uncharted, COD and many others.
