Reddit gives people a voice on the internet as they go here to share their opinions on different subjects, with one of these topics being Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. There is usually a general consensus about the things that players like and don’t like about the game. However, there are players with other opinions that are considered unpopular by others.
You might agree with some and disagree with others, but the point is that it grants you a different perspective. This could allow you to look at Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in new ways the next time you decide to play.
10 The White Dot For Artifacts Blends In Too Much
When you look at the map you see a variety of gold, blue, and white dots that signify wealth, mysteries, and artifacts respectively. One unpopular opinion that a Reddit user named u/lengelmp came up with is that the white dots for the artifacts should be changed as they are hard to see on the map.
It might not be an idea crusaded by fans, but it does make sense especially in terms of those who are colorblind.
9 Male Eivor’s Soft Voice Is Better Than Alexios’ Brutish One
Alexios was one of the characters that you could choose to play as in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and there was quite a debate whether he was the better choice over Kassandra. There are several players who do prefer the brutish tone of Alexios’ voice to the softer syllables uttered by the male version of Eivor.
One Reddit user named u/Primex76 disagrees with this sentiment as they adore the poetic lines he speaks even if it doesn’t make him sound like the strong Viking he should be.
8 Zealots Are More Annoying Than Gratifying To Kill
Zealots are supposed to be one of the fun and challenging aspects of the game, but a Reddit user named u/rickys_dad has a different perspective. They view them as annoying and more like a chore to defeat rather than the challenging opponent they are meant to be.
The points they make about their mediocre backstories and the number of them compared to Odyssey is understandable, but most players hated these aspects when playing the former game.
7 The World Feels A Little Empty
A user named u/Cameron-Abernathy took to Reddit to share one of their unpopular opinions about the world the developers created. They believe that it feels pretty empty and lacks the adventuring aspect often included in Assassin’s Creed games.
It doesn’t matter that the world they have created is jaw-droppingly beautiful or that everywhere you turn there is another chest to loot. They just could not be satisfied with the over 100 hours of gameplay available to them which is why this unpopular opinion was formed.
6 Stop Bringing People From The Past Into Modern Day
The Isu is a large part of the lore of the game, but it means bringing back old figures in time into the modern-day era, and a Reddit user name u/marioyom hates it. They despised the reincarnation of Loki and hate this theme even though it ties back with former games.
Many disagree with this for obvious reasons, although it does bring up a valid point of just how annoying the lore can become as the games go on.
5 Odin’s Sight Took Some Serious Hits
Odyssey and Origins both had ways for players to identify loot around them, but Valhalla took this aspect out of the game. A Reddit user named u/seriouslycitrus is enraged that they did this as it makes it difficult to find loot.
Most players agree that it puts some more of the mystery and exploration back in the game as you are forced to look around, but some argue that it should at least be an option for you to turn off or on.
4 Dag Had Potential And They Wasted It
Dag had so much potential at the beginning of the story until he did a 180 and nosedived right into his own death. He was created to be part of the story to complement Eivor’s story arc, and most players recognize this fact.
However, some players, like a Reddit user named u/kingoflions2006, say that his potential was wasted seeing how strong of a bond he had with Eivor in the beginning. They were two peas in a pod until they threw his storyline into the trash despite its meaningful connection to the story.
3 It Plays Like A Beta
Most players who bought the game were instantly smitten by it as they explored the world for hours on end shortly after its release. Although, others weren’t so taken by it, and this Reddit user was one of them who thought it played more like a beta than a full release.
It was full of bugs and crashes, as shown in their first failed event, but that isn’t unlike many other games on the market when they are first released.
2 It’s Terrible That You Can’t Kill Civilians
The Vikings were known to be brutally thorough in their raids, but in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla you can’t kill any civilians. This was a feature brought back from the older games, although it doesn’t make sense for this time period.
The Reddit user named u/Psychosociety pointed this out, and while many love how it reverted back to its old ways, others want the new way of doing things that is more historically accurate.
1 The Music On The Boat Should Be In Old Norse
A very unpopular opinion proposed by a Reddit user named u/BarrelRider626 is that the Vikings should be singing in old Norse on their ships. It is no wonder why players disagree with this sentiment as the songs themselves tell a story and it would be grating to listen to anything else on long journeys down the waterways.
Yes, it probably sounds better and more authentic but it is no secret that many English speakers could care less for authenticity.
