Might appeal to him through that To each his own, I guess. I sank a lot of hours into it, found plenty to like and plenty to hate, but it’s hard to imagine enjoying it for five straight years. The content dries up fast once you reach the endgame, and there’s really no reason to replay with a new character except for a single branching questline. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious who y’all end up with. Got a hunch that Colonel will get my favorite, Edward. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/assassins-creed/quiz I got Evie Frye. Not my favorite character, or fifth, but it’s probably indeed the best fit because she was the only character I found very relatable in that game. Hide contents YOU ARE EVIE FRYE ASSASSIN'S CREED SYNDICATE You are Evie Frye, British Assassin and co-founder of the Rooks. Inspired, inventive, and introspective; you can formulate and follow a well-made plan from start to finish. Even if you have to keep others around you in check, they still appreciate having the mastermind on their side. Same boat lol https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/assassins-creed/quiz/eivor YOU ARE EIVOR VARINSDOTTIR ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA You are Eivor Varinsdottir, a fierce warrior driven to protect your loved ones from the hardships of the world, even if it means you weather those hardships alone. You are honest, honor-bound, and loyal. While you may be slow to warm up, once new people can be trusted, they’ll be as close as family. 1 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I forgot about the Viking characters. But going off the description, that sounds like a good fit too. I still think Edward suits you too. He’s more extroverted though, so that’s probably why you didn’t land with him. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because one could argue that Baldur didn’t need to cover for Boldir. Simply executing him would’ve been the more strategic move as a leader. But he wanted his friend to live so he chose to lie instead. A more strategic lie would be the causes and coverup of Ulfric’s death. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a 100 percent rule, I only meant that Baldur encounters a need to lie much more often than I do, because he's a military leader. It may be more strategic to do what you said but thats besides the point. Its not how he lies or why, but that because of his position, he's in the position to influence things more. Either in his favor personally or for that of his nation. In both cases I do not end up in those positions xD Thus I have the luxury of being earnest.

Because to me, that and many of his other plans (the illusory "rape" to break Lorgar, the trick he pulled in Alik’r) is a big part of why I tend to view Baldur as a Loki/Lorkhan type of trickster who regularly uses secrets and dishonesty as weapons. Hence why I don’t view him as a very honest person. But I suppose you’re right that one ought to distinguish between day-to-day interactions and how he deals with enemies. Because Baldur will tell you to your face exactly what he thinks of you, but he’s more than happy to destroy you with trickery. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the tenants of Bushido is absoutle loyalty to your liege lord; morality is irreverent to loyalty. I compare them because the whole Norse kind of etiequette for there warrior elite is quite similar. But then again if Baldur was a Samurai he'd be the ambitious one who ends up cutting off his Lord's head and be able to finally justify it with the whole "kill your blood-brother" thing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we already know that Baldur puts family over traditional duty or honor. On this note, he kinda reminds me of Jin Sakai by the end of his journey. He will forsake all traditions and conventions, and stoop to heinous lows, in order to defeat the enemy and protect his loved ones. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His enemy was an invading army so civilian Mongols never came into play, but I could honestly see his character progressing that way if it came down to it. His whole arc is about being pushed to cross more and more lines until he no longer resembles a samurai at all. Knowingly getting civilian Mongols killed is a much smaller step from where he’s at now than where he was at the beginning. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
