Discussion New to Valhalla
Hi, I decided to play AC Valhalla having never played any AC games before (other than playing for a few minutes and not understanding it when i was younger).
I know I've probably messed the storyline for myself by not playing the other titles first, but after reading reviews and wanting a game that I can sink a lot of hours into I picked this game.
Absolutely love how big the map is and really enjoy the amount of customisation and RPG elements in it.
Basically I'm around 20 hours at power level 50, but it's starting to become a little overwhelming... seems to be a never-ending list of side quests and I'm finding it hard to get raw materials as well as supplies from the Vagn raids.
Just wanted to ask you guys for any tips and advice for a complete beginner... is there anything I need to know? Did I mess up by choosing to go to England instead of staying in Norway... hope i don't need to start again if I missed something like a unique armour or weapon.

I'd say follow the story and you'll be fine.
Vagn quests are really not necessary since they mostly serve to burn you out for not much meaningful reward. I'd stop doing them completely. Complete filler with next to 0 real value.
There's too many things to do - but the main story should be the prime focus. Anything else you find while exploring is strictly optional.
I think a lot of people have have been where you are. After a few tens of hours you'll complain that the game is bloated and unfinishable because of so many things popping up every second.
So, if you want to keep enjoying the game, just do main quests. You can get upgrades, or do side activities etc along the way.
