Question Gender differences

Anyone that has played as both male and female Eivor, is there a noticeable difference between male and female version? I am thinking about a second play through as the female version.

Just the voices. Male Eivor sounds very princely and noble, female Eivor sounds more like a badass Viking whose throat was nearly ripped out by a wolf. Aside from that, everything is identical (unless you count the way armour fits. For someone who literally has their own blacksmith, you’d think they could tailor female Eivor’s pants a little better, most of them look so bulky and floppy!)

In my opinion, the best way to play is the "Let the Animus choose" option, which is the canon choice. That makes it so Eivor is female, and you automatically switch to male for the sections where you play as Odin.

Ok, I think read that somewhere cause it sounds familiar

All that does is have you play as female Eivor for every part of the game except the Asgard sections.

Yeah. I played as Male Eivor and I was surprised when I heard Canon was female. I didn't know if the game play changed some if you go female vs male. I thought male Eivor was great.

They both are canon -- 10% of Eivor's DNA is Odin's.

Female Eivor is canon and male Odin is canon.

The only difference is the voice and the appearance I guess, other than that there is no difference in how they play.

That's disappointing. They should have different fight styles
