10 Ways Assassin's Creed Valhalla Delivers the Ultimate Viking Experience

@mpl911: There is... Eivor can be male or female, in fact apparently you can change at any time (unlike Odyssey). I'm not sure what the "default" gender is, but presumably male, because this is Ubisoft we're talking about. It took them about a dozen games to give the option of a female main character (not counting Liberation, which was a originally a mobile game, and Syndicate, in which you're still forced to play as Jacob a lot of the time).

Personally, I'd like to see the character customisation extend beyond mere tattoos and hairstyle, but at least it look like we'll be able to fully customise the members of our raiding parties.

@mpl911: I'm with you on that. It's too bad they couldn't set the character up like they did with the Mass Effect series so you can choose your sex and design the face as you want it. I'd like to be able to design the body as well, with a Super Models body or a really large giant with a big beer belly. And tattoos will be great if you could get to choose the ones you like or design them yourself. That and how you will have an affect on what you do in character as either a Paladin or a Renegade or as as neutral as possible to make Good and Evil equal (to much AD&D had that effect on me). And finally to top it all off they could make the game end in a gazillion different ways like Bioshock did. THAT would make everyone play it a gazillion more times.
