How to Choose Eivor\’s Gender?

In the prologue of Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla, you control young Eivor, several years before the events of the main campaign. You must complete the prologue, which includes escaping from an attacked village.

At the end of the prologue, you can choose Eivor\’s gender. The game explains this choice through the separation of streams and the instability of the Animus, which retrieves Eivor\’s memories.

You have three options:

1. Choose Eivor as a man.
2. Choose Eivor as a woman.
3. Let the Animus select the gender based on the current strength of the Animus signal.

This last option can be an interesting choice if you do not have a preference and if the protagonist\’s gender is not a significant issue for you.

Can You Change Eivor\’s Gender?

Yes, you can change Eivor\’s gender at any point in the game. Go to the Quests tab in the pause menu, then press the up key to open the Animus menu. From there, you can leave the Animus and change Eivor\’s appearance, including gender. This option is free and can be used as many times as you want.

Does Eivor\’s Gender Affect the Game?

No, Eivor\’s gender has no impact on the gameplay. The game offers identical content regardless of the protagonist\’s gender.

How to Use the Character Creator in Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla?

Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla features a character creator which allows you to customize the appearance of Eivor. You can modify everything from hairstyles to tattoos. You can access the character creator by selecting \”Change Appearance\” in the Animus menu, as explained above.

1. Regardless of whether you choose to play as a male or female Eivor, you will have access to all romantic relationships in the game.
2. The gender of Eivor will not affect the quests in Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla. Both male and female characters will have the same objectives.
3. Male and female Eivors have equal access to weapons, outfits, and gear in the game.

Is there a character creator in Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla?

No, the game does not feature a character creator. Players must choose between the two pre-defined character models for male and female Eivor. It is not possible to modify their facial features or body shape.

However, players can customize Eivor\’s appearance to some degree by getting tattoos and changing hairstyles. These services are available in Fornburg and can be accessed later by constructing a special building in Ravensthorpe. Players can:

1. Change hairstyles and facial hair, including the option for a bald Eivor, but facial hair is only available for male characters.
2. Get tattoos for different parts of the body, such as the hands, back, or chest.

Players can unlock new tattoo styles by progressing through the game or purchasing them. For more information, see the FAQ section on changing character appearance.
