Warning for Alexios Fans

[Jivebot]

The DLCs for this game take a hot steaming crap on your own choices and journey in the previous game and exclusively force Kassandra on you in the crossover.

If you don't care, game on.

If you do, you are warned.

[craigsters]

I didn't understand why when you first come across her, the game doesn't let you fight her and it's a cinematic fight scene only, annoying, I wanted to fight her

alexios is a Odyssey Crossover mini free add-on called A Fated Encounter, with a new map and quests

To be able to play A Fated Encounter, you'll need to have built Valka's Hut and completed the quest In Dreams. Once Valka's Hut is established, and you've completed In Dreams, you'll unlock the introductory quest A Distorted Dream at https://www.ign.com/wikis/assassins-creed-valhalla/A_Fated_Encounter_DLC_Guide_-_Odyssey_Valhalla_Crossover how to start it

I'm pretty sure ubisoft confirmed that Alexios storyline isn't cannon. It's available just for people who prefer male protagonist.

Meaning Two-Thirds of the player base? lol

More, actually.

When they actually put out the number I can't recall what it was exactly but it was slightly under 80%. Nowadays what few articles you can still find on the subject that haven't been inexplicably Epsteined off the internet just round it down to "two thirds".

It's not that people prefer a male protagonist. It's that people prefer an immersive, realistic, and believable protagonist. Or as close to that as possible. given the contextual material.

Kassandra may be the Ubisoft HR Department's choice.

Alexios will forever be the Gamer's choice.

What contextual material? Your character can fall from 100 meters tower without dying and teleport while back stabbing people. No human can do that, male or female. But here you are complaining about kassandra being less realistic and believable? Lol you got a sexism problem.

[Dorok]

Gamer sexism is widely spread, but also for now, such type of game is widely played by males much less by females.

That said the realism argument for Alexios is a blinded argument denying plenty mercenaries in game are women, hence if a player is blocked by that he won't be able play at all Odyssey, but realism is a poor man argument in video games, here it's more an excuse to justify sexism.

In Valhalla it won't be better, like ton of British warriors that are female.

[Sólyom]

there'd be no choice if ubisoft dictated what character you'd play again kek

but that'd be a templar action

Kassandra was obviously the main character of Odyssey. She was the badass.

Lol, I like Kassandra and she was my first pick, Alexios in second play. In first parts and in French, Alexios is less well done, but as the game progress, it is overall a bit better done.
