So, I picked the option "let the game decide" but I'm guessing I'm at least 2/3 of the way through England and Eivor has been a female the entire game. It doesn't bother me, I just expected it to change at some point way before now. Is this broken or ?

Since Assassin's Creed Odyssey I stopped caring about Layla Hassan but I was curious about how she would be handled in Assassin's Creed Valhalla since this was promised as the end of her arc. Thanks to "Gamer Little Playground" I watched the ending for her story (I skipped the Eivor parts as I actually intend to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla someday) and... it was not bad. Certainly not as bad and how Desmond Miles was killed at least but not great either.
I certainly think it was ridiculous that by chance Layla was stabbed by that simulation device and was fine with it and the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus she was holding sort of conveniently fell right on Basim's... "corpse" I guess and miraculously revived him, so the Staff can revive dead people now? And then it cuts right through Basim at New England's cabin talking to Rebecca and Shaun and they just let him there with the Animus and apparently going along with his mad idea to contact William Miles in person (which is obviously very dangerous to him... "Daniel Cross 2.0") instead of insisting to call him first??? Quite a few gaps there.
And Layla apparently got stuck in that simulation machine to "slow it down" indefinitely to figure out a better future for Earth but what would she do with it, especially when she is implied to die from radiation, how would she transmit her brilliant solution? She accepted her doomed fate way too easily. Not to mention when she dies, won't the Earth's Cataclysm happen anyway? Templars apparently are no longer a big deal either.
As dirt as Desmond Miles was done at least he went out with a bang, but Layla Hassan went out with a whimper. Bah. I absolutely missed out a lot of plot stuff in this game, but this ending did not impressed me.

Valhalla has been finally released and U've already enjoyed It.
I made this discussions with spoilers ti speak about the default choice.
It should be a sort of canon mode,but if I think that,because of the fact that since the reveal they have been saying that they are both canon,se should used one character forse all the time.
Luckily I've choiced to use only to male Eivor and he is a fantastic character with a fantastic story.
I've said luckily because after the first minutes I saw what happened when I choose the default choice,and then appeared female Eivor.
So I saved the first minutes of the game choosing directly the characte I wanted to use.
I did this thing a bit of times yesterday and I saw that after the first vision with the default choice male Eivor is there.
Because I want to understand how the default choice,I'd like to know what the players who choiced it saw,if there are these clues which Darby McDevitt was talking about.
Just for information I can accept all the spoilers between the beginning and the first missions in the settlement.
