In these days Darby McDevitt and Ashraf Ismail have been explaining through some videos on twitter a few things that we will see in valhalla,like the flyting and why the hidden blade is on top of the wrist.
On twitter someone has also asked to Darby McDevitt why the name Eivor,which is used still today only for the women,has been choosed also for the male character.
He has answered that we'll know everything in due time.He hasn't said we have to wait the release of the game.
So I ask to him and Ashraf Ismail to explain us the reason of this choice in one of the next videos if they can do it without making spoilers about the story.
Surely who wants to play male Eivor will do it because he seems a fantastic character,but I think that the players have to know why we have to play a man with a female name.
tbh its a name, id rather be worried bout whats gonna b new, revamped,taken out, or messed with then what the name of the character im playing.....mean yea studies show its a female name and y use it for those who play the male to have it, I cant say but mean they said it will b explained in the game so guess u wait till then or hope they just get tired of ppl asking and just tell u, either way its a wait period
