I believe with Valhalla, the vast majority of people again preferred to play as the (historically accurate) male character. Most cite the better voice acting as a reason, but I think it’s just an excuse. Nobody wants to be some Viking chick, getting boned all across England (nobody normal anyway).
Now apparently for their next upcoming game still in the pipeline, there isn’t going to be ANY choice offered. Main protag will be female and that’s that. I’ve already read so many nauseating comments like, “finally a female lead”, it reminded me a lot of the “finally a black superhero” bullshit when Black Panther came out 🤦🏼
I bring it up because apparently the new Assassins game will also feature a black African samurai supporting character who we’re supposed to believe is based on a real historical dude who totally existed (we promise).
Like synthetic man says, “I’m not even angry anymore, I just don’t care...” 😒👍
The funny thing is you can do a female samurai if you write it right. Blue Eye Samurai was great. But you know they're not going to go this route.
They're going to go the "well in this world no one bats an eye to woman samurai and there is zero prejudice."
