Canon protagonist

Ok, so we have same problem as 2 years before with two playable characters. But this time protagonist have same name "Eivor" regardless of gender, so it is bit harder then playable one and Deimos in Odyssey, and it looks like other one will not exist in universe. Hope they will adress, which gender is canon. --Kulurak (talk) 16:03, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

It probably will be confirmed with a novel tie-in like Odyssey. XOdeyssusx (talk) 16:04, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

The other one might be... a random person in the background, as seen with the promoart. That's the female Eivor attacking that Englishman. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:13, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

They are exactly the same character, so no she will not appear in the background if you chose the male. From what I understood, there will be story consequences if you chose a male or a female but it will not be like in Odyssey with the other living his life in the background. You can see her on this screenshot.

The funny thing is, archaeologists have had a tough time determining the gender of some Viking remains. In the meantime, they/them will just be fine. --Alientraveller (talk) 16:51, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

Darby is saying both genders are canon, this will be interesting. https://twitter.com/DarbyMcDevitt/status/1255988473389109251 --Kulurak (talk) 07:46, May 1, 2020 (UTC)

Male/female versions of the name

In Scandinavian, Eivor is the female variant of the name, and Eivar is the male version. -vor and -var are feminine and masculine suffixes, respectively. Same difference as Alexander/Alexandra, Charles/Charlotte, etc. – USMC-DN38416 (talk) 01:28, July 17, 2020 (UTC)

Okay but they don't change the spelling for the character's gender here; both male and female are called Eivor specifically with an O each time. Also can you fix your refs. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 02:39, July 17, 2020 (UTC)

Why have you deleted it again? – USMC-DN38416 (talk) 14:31, July 17, 2020 (UTC)

I didn't delete them, I removed unnecessary new lines in your messages and cleaned it up so both names link to their respective pages on the name site. All current developer interviews and official material uses the name's female spelling, a fact which is already sourced on Eivor's page under Etymology. I undid that edit because you did not source correctly, and in the process of adding your information, wiped the gallery and references. – Darman (talk) 16:35, July 17, 2020 (UTC)

Are they fully voiced?

Since they're gender-selectable and customizable, unlike Odyssey where the genders were non-customizable and completely different characters, will Eivor be fully voiced or silent with dialogue options?Tokoyami no Nietzsche (talk) 20:14, August 2, 2020 (UTC)

I know there will be a tie-in novel where they eventually turn Eivor into a full character, but in the game?Tokoyami no Nietzsche (talk) 20:15, August 2, 2020 (UTC)

They are fully voiced but still with dialogue options. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 01:10, August 3, 2020 (UTC)

Surname

Would Eivor's surname be Varinsdottir or Varinsson? V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 12:10, October 20, 2020 (UTC)

Female Canon?

Did I miss something? Why do we kept only the female part? As Darby said the two gender are canon~, can we kept the two sides.Francesco75 (talk) 17:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Without being too spoilery, yes Darby was kind of right, the two gender options are indeed canon but there is a catch you will discover once you play the game...Maxattac (talk) 17:21, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

In clear, they wanted to have a female protagonist but don't have the courage to follow their idea. I understand, they did the same thing with Odyssey.Francesco75 (talk) 17:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
