God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The Valhalla DLC is a masterpiece imo, it's a beautiful way to end Kratos' journey and on a personal level this DLC is therapeutic to me.

As a kid playing the OG God of War games was an outlet that let me channel my anger in a non violent way and I related to Kratos. I used to be so filled with anger and selfish because of the things I went through at home and Kratos' relationship with Zeus and his mission for revenge were relatable to me. I was so angry back then that I was so fervent in my support of Kratos that I didn't care what he did to get revenge, I wanted him to win even if it meant destroying everything.

Playing God of War 2018 I found myself happy that Kratos found something to live for in the form of his son and just like him I felt lost and ashamed of what I had been.

Playing through Ragnarok was also a journey that was healing as watching Kratos be better, watching him learn to control his anger and keep himself from going down a dark path even though he was thrust back into a role he feared as a general. It was enlightening and taught me to be a better version of myself.

And now playing the Valhalla DLC, watching Kratos relive his evils, watching his self hatred and issues manifest in Valhalla as Helios and the bosses and watching him understand, accept and heal throughout the DLC never fails to make me feel as though I'm confronting my own issues. Watching Kratos remember and accept his actions, watching him confront his younger self and move forward knowing he's a better man is a cathartic experience that always makes me cry and lives on in my head.

In conclusion, Valhalla is a must play or a must watch if you can't play the game. It also shows that you are more than your flaws, you don't leave your flaws and you can't run away from them but you can only heal if you accept them because like Kratos says "You are more than that."

Thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s final update under the cut.

(Because obviously I assume some people don’t want spoilers. but I also need to say something.)

So, spoilers for the update. As well as the game as a whole. You’ve been warned.

------------

This is just going to be a random point-form all over the place sort of rambling rant from me. So, here goes. But I need to get this off my chest.

- First off, way too short. For them to talk about this final update for months and  for it to just end up being... a few poorly written cut scenes, some with characters Eivor really wasn’t close with at all, and then for other characters she was incredibly close with to not even show up? Oof.

- Super sorry to any Randivor shippers by the way. That’s rough, buddy.😬

- Also, the cut scenes really contradicted not only the main storyline and Eivor’s character growth, but also each other? She tells Harald she doesn’t want to go to Iceland because she doesn’t want to walk down well-worn roads, but at the same time... ends up returning to the exact same spot in Vinland that she and others have already been to? Doesn’t make sense.

- And it also doesn’t make sense she’d leave at all. We knew she’d end up in Vinland somehow. Fine. That had to happen. But with the reason being she had to “find herself”? Again, doesn't make sense. The whole point of the end of the main game was her realising the glory and power Odin promised her meant nothing in comparison to her found family. A found family she spent the entire game helping, protecting, caring for. To just... leave? In the middle of the night? With only Valka to notice? And a vague mention of Randvi? (Again, sorry Randivor shippers. Ouch.) It just took none of her own growth as a character into account.

- Honestly, it would have made more sense for her to be forced to leave England for some reason. Because there’s no way she’d just leave everything willingly like that. Seems like the writers knew she had to leave but didn’t really know how they were going to make her do that. So just pushed an excuse for her to go that didn’t really work. At all.

- Then the whole Odin thing. So they’re just... buddy buddy and chatting again? Really? After that super dramatic ending? And apparently she wants to learn from him? To what end? She just fucks off to Vinland and talks to the guy in her head as her only company and learns from him... to pass none of that on to anyone? Feels like a pointless way for her to end her days.

- And, sorry to people who actually like Basim, but I am not one of them. (Him standing over Eivor’s grave at the end of the main game and taunting her really put the last nail in the coffin for me. Not a fan.) So having so much Basim in this last update? Almost as much if not more focus on him than Eivor? Infuriating. Really, it made the whole thing feel like an advertisement for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. 

- Which, even though I liked the Roshan surprise, again, feels like an advertisement for Mirage. Maybe would have felt less like that if the focus of the last chapter hadn’t been so much on Basim and the Roshan quest was just a nice surprise they added on. But that’s not the case. Basim was heavily present in the last chapter. So again, feels like an AC Mirage advertisement. Using Eivor’s last chapter, the end of her story, to advertise Basim’s game. Cheap, Ubisoft. Super cheap.

- And, yeah. The new armour is tacky.

Anyways. If you made it through all that, have a cookie. And feel free to rant in the replies. I’m sure I'm not the only one who needs to get things off their chest after witnessing that.😅

EDIT: Wait! Let me just add, Hytham is precious and I love him. That was the only part of this I applaud. Being a mentor to a bunch of the villagers in Ravensthorpe was perfect and I would not change that at all. That man deserves the world.🥹

I miss Ravensthorpe

I miss my Ravensthorpe, does anyone else miss theirs too? 

It's been so long, I miss how I was consumed by it, the sounds of it, the smell of it. How I would map it all out in my mind. Create corners of it that characters would sit, would talk, would exist.

It felt like it surrounded me, like a 360 degree dream. It was everywhere.

I miss my AU.

The bench outside the longhouse doors that was bathed in the evening sun, greeting old friends.

The red tree behind it, where you could see so much but go unnoticed.

The pool by Valka’s home, where the women would gather on the warm rocks to chat.

The dark shaded bench under the canopy around the back of the longhouse. Where you could sit in the  shadow with another, where no one can see you, interrupt you.

There’s some flour sacks outside Hytham’s office, against his wall. I imagine him and Jor sit there, looking out at the farm. Or They Gunnar and Tove, three in a row, would sit and drink at the end. They are good friends.

The benched tables at the back of the longhouse on the decking. It's quiet and a place to sit and drink. I left Ivarr and Eivor there drinking after hunting in the hills. They are still there, in my mind, waiting for what's next.

The english bluebells racing up the hills, a lilac blur circling the town.

The decking by the river, the pier where the children learned to swim. The water was warm to those who remember the cold of the north.

The path heading up to the west out of town, that loops away up and around past the Old Ragnarsson lookout. He watched Ubba leave at dawn, uncertain and annoyed.

The lookout, where Eivor went to be alone with the world. Wood scratched with old marks from the brothers, and later, the church.

The smell of sour fruits fermenting in Tekla’s garden brewery floating through the doors of home.

Holding new babies sitting in the meadows and by the fires. Soft and full of life.

Petra and Wallace teaching the kids to hunt with practice bows, shooting into the broken wagon up the path.

Tarben and Nelda and warm soft bread. Warm and soft, like the both of them. Flour on her hair and on his hands. They don’t notice.

The heavy movement of drengr training by the river. Grunts and thuds, but laughter too. Gunnar keeps watch, laughing the loudest, making bets with Merton and sometimes Arth.

Arth playing with the other children in the evenings.

Randvi and Eivor lying on their backs on the big bed in the candlelight, both staring at the ceiling, both wrought with uncertainty on what to do with Sigurd, the changed man. Each’s pain can only be understood by the other. Desperately glad for each other’s company.

Hytham’s office, full of paper that few can read, stood staring at the walls, not staring at anything.  Dawn, exhausted and spent. Full of grief. Basim is not coming back and he is still here. He listens to the sound of the town waking up, steps crunching of leaves and sticks, quiet greetings of the day in that strange language, it smells like rain again.

It was so alive, so powerful, and I feel guilty for abandoning it and this blog

NO  BECAUSE   i’m  still  on  this.   i’m  really  upset  that  all  we  got  was  ‘we  said  our  goodbyes’   over  a  ship  built  up  throughout  the  whole  game.   randvi  was  so  fucking  in  love  with  eivor.    and  then  eivor  just  left.   settlement  back  in  sigurd’s  hand...  sort  of.    randvi,   the  adventurer,   left  to  fucking  sit  in  the  settlement.    who  wanted  a  life  of  excitement  and  could  have  found  that  traveling  with  eivor....   instead  somehow  just  stayed  in  the  settlement.   doing  what  she  does  best,   but  not  what  she  loves.   probably  running  the  place  better  than  sigurd   --   no  offense,   but  it’s  canon  that  they  all  went  to  randvi  for  disputes  and  only  came  to  eivor  if  she  was  around.   and  after  sigurd’s  meltdown,   nobody  went  to  him  anymore.   it’s  randvi.

and  randvi  fucking  deserves  what  she  wanted  most:   EIVOR  AND  ADVENTURE .    [  my  ship,   my  poor  ship  ]
