Yeah.
I would really like to see a game in the Templar Order's point-of-view some day.
They seem interesting.

Who knows, maybe the twist is the Vikings are the Templars and the resisting saxons are assassins? With your PC either defecting and fighting a doomed battle, or staying and earning a big payday which they enjoy until old age where some assassin comes to murder them in their sleep.Yeah.

So no one is going to bother to post the new AC: Valhalla game trailer?
Here.
Seems to me that the Viking invaders are just noble savages who raid villages to the ground but spare women and children and the defending Saxons/Britons who were only responding to the raids are the evil bad guys.
That's what I saw in the trailer though.
So I'm replaying Diablo 3 again and is it me or when you play the male Barbarian do some of Eirena's comments imply she has a thing for him?
Don't quote me on this, but I think some of what they say varies on the class\gender you are playing.I think she says basically the same thing to every character but I have no idea. I basically tuned out my followers when I'm a spinning' around.
Shay Cormac: "What am I, dirt?"Yeah.

Shay was a assassin first, so he doesn't count imo. Watching this trailer I'd rather play as that dude who smacked the viking around at 2:50.Shay Cormac: "What am I, dirt?"
(I didn't play Rogue either tbh)

Never played D3, but I remember Charsi having an obvious attraction to barbarian characters in D2.So I'm replaying Diablo 3 again and is it me or when you play the male Barbarian do some of Eirena's comments imply she has a thing for him?
Yes, the Danes brought settlers with them, who were "innocent" in the sense that they weren't the ones killing the English who lived there, but it's historical revisionism at its worst to cast them as mere victims when their purpose was to replace the English people in the towns and villages that their compatriots had conquered.
Even when playing up the "good vikings who don't hurt children, women and innocent" thing, it makes no real sense.
Even when playing up the "good vikings who don't hurt children, women and innocent" thing, it makes no real sense. If you don't want to slaughter, pillage and loot.. why are you invading? What are you going to do with the women and children afterwards? Because either they run for the hills and have to live in poverty because other towns are overflowing with refugees and they can barely feed themselves anymore.. or what they become citizen in the new viking towns? The same towns populated by people who slaughtered their fathers, brothers, uncles and nephews? Or at least their relatives?
Because every single soldier killed has a mother and a father, many have wifes and sisters or brothers, sons and daughters and so on. Many are breadmakers for their families and if they die, these same families will have increased difficulty surviving.
Polite and pedantic reminder that Viking is a profession/activity, not a culture or people.
Doesn't make them not land-stealing cunts profiting off the deeds of their vikings.I know.
Settlers from Scandinavia usually were much less of a cunts, preferring to build villages, farm the land, craft stuff, trade, explore, and often became Christian to better integrate with the locals. They had enough recourses to live a peaceful life, and it was much more lucrative and less lethal way of living, so they didn't had need for Vikings. Heck very often such settlement were also raided by Vikings because those bastards didn't really care who they rob, murder and rape. And it wasn't uncommon for Vikings to raid their native villages in Scandinavia. You had to get some practice in the local region before trying somewhere further.
For anyone who isn't up and up on their early medieval English history, here's a quick history lesson on this conflict for context:What I find most fucked-up about it is the idea that King Aelfred of Wessex is being cast as the villain.
He's literally the guy defending his homeland from Danish invasion.
What I'm taking away from this is that Ubisoft will go literally anywhere to avoid doing Assassin's Creed: Three Kingdoms or Assassin's Creed: Warring States, no matter how inappropriate it is. Just let me be a fucking ninja already!
They've said previously that they don't want to do Japan because ninjas have been done before, as if that's a good excuse. And I know you're mostly being sardonic about naval combat but there's all kinds of ship-to-ship action going on in East Asia that they could use for that. One of the greatest heroes of Korea is Yi Sun-sin, who led a brilliant naval campaign against the Japanese navy when Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to conquer Korea in the Imjin War. He never lost a battle or even a single ship under his command, and he's often compared to Horatio Nelson as one of the greatest admirals in history. In China, one of the most successful pirates in history was Ching Shih, who pillaged the Chinese coast at the head of an armada of 300+ junks in the early 1800s. And I'm sure there was all kinds of river-based warfare in the Three Kingdoms era, with the Battle of the Red Cliffs being the most famous example.You know. I think reason why they didn't developed AC set in East Asia is because they didn't want to make it similar to Sekiro, and to lesser extent to Ghosts of Tsushima that about to come out.
Other important reason is that it would be very difficult to put Naval Combat in this one. They really try to have this in any AC game they can justify it. And neither Japan or China were using fast nimble warships that are usually used as protagonist ships.
Fucking hell, her arms are as thick as her head! And that gym is spotless, with still functioning lamps.It seems that both Sony and Disobedient Canine can't weather the storm. It's safe to assume that LOU2 will bomb hard.
On the side note, glad to see that people are adapting themselves quite well during zombie apocalypse or post-whatever that is:
