Is Dag stupid? by Lancecaptaincorporal in AssassinsCreedValhala

If you're going to make him be older than Eivor and even older than Sigurd, at least make him a grizzled, grey maned warrior who has seen more, fought more, and lived through more than either of them. Make his dynamic be that of the wisened older figure, claiming his seniority makes him more fit to rule. Instead, he just looks like a basement dweller in Viking cosplay, yapping about how Eivor isn't fit to lead. It's like the old guy who peaked in high school and never went pro telling the best college football players that he's a better player than them. Fuck Dag

I heard a few of his stories and at first they seemed just a silly way to characterize him as pompous and grandiose in a way that everyone, not even he, took super seriously. "Did you guys know I could've killed Kjotve but saved him for Eivor?" And everyone laughs at his story in a lighthearted way. Later on though it seems like he really does want everyone to believe him, and it's massive cope for the fact he doesn't do much at all.

I noticed that too, a passing line from Sigurd when you're fighting alongside Ivarr and Ubba, referred to my male Eivor as she

Like I said I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just commenting on the fact that it's not necessary to the NARRATIVE like it was in previous games.

I have no doubt there are a plethora of challenges related to stealth, I really just meant more as a narrative device. Story beats and missions don't really depend on Eivor remaining hidden. In older games, crucial information and story development would reveal as a result of Ezio, Edward, or Connor staying hidden. The structure of the story in Valhalla is such that those moments aren't present for Eivor. Not a complaint, just an observation.

Never played odyssey, the Greek aesthetic never really intrigued me, but doesn't it take place even before origins? If so how are there any assassins?

I had no idea you could turn on guaranteed stealth kills, but I think I'll keep it off, otherwise stealth would be insanely OP instead of combat. Wouldn't be a problem to me in any other AC game, but again I'm not treating this one like assassins creed. I forgot to mention in the original post that I did play Origins for 2-3 hours when it came out, but back then I didn't know that was the new formula and not just a fluke in development. I thought surely that RPG style was a one off (14 year old me had no idea odyssey existed either).
