He was depression personified.

He is a loser!🤣🤣🤣

He brought all his tragic Ness to himself!

He literally told Eivor he wishes he wouldn't have saved him. Eivor was in a sense his family.

Tragic? I'd hardly call him tragic. He didn't understand that Eivor and Sigurd were angry because he was more honest with a complete stranger rather than his own children. He also didn't make it easy for them, always belittling their accomplishments, choosing to look at problems rather than any solutions.

Norse culture is about the conflict, the battle, and growth. A true drengr is supposed to see Harolds army and think of only one thing, the glory at fighting such an enemy. Survival doesn't matter as much as the glory. Your life is your saga, and to be truly remembered you are supposed to strive to fight the strongest foe, the largest army. All tactics are free game for there is no dishonor in using flame and poison, ambushes, traps, and shadows. Using wit and strength against their wit and strength. Every man you pull down merely grows your saga and glory. Remember, there are 5 paths upon death as a viking. The highest honor is to go to Valhalla as an Einherjar, a warrior of Odin himself. There is only one way to become such a thing, die in battle with a weapon in your hand. If you die by any means other than combat you cannot join Odin's army. Freyja has her own group that is full of women that die in combat. Now, if you are a sage, one who sought truth and improved what your clan and people were capable of (early scientists and such) you would go to Valhalla as a learned one, upon Ragnarok the sages would be sent into the heavens, half of them actually survive alongside the 5 Aesir that survive and become the advisors and such in the next age. Skalds can also enter Valhalla but, only if they are also warriors or sages. They must also be one or the other yet they have their own hall in Valhalla they go to, every night they join the Einherjar in the greatest hall...they sing of the deeds of the past and those happening now to the warriors. The 5th ending? You go to Hel as an unworthy. Look at what they value. Warriors that show courage in the face of anything and everything. Sages that will learn and share what they know to make those around them better. Skalds good with their wit and words, be it to demoralize or embolden all that hear them. Being a 'good person' is not a part of their culture. Yes, it is preferred, but being mean or callous is not considered a hugely negative trait. NOTHING is worse than a coward or oath breaker to them.

@@Nempo13 Thank you for your elaboration. Though I still hold my opinion that what Sigurd did is not so appropriate, but it is totally understandable and reasonable in Norse tradition.

Except their culture ain’t that way

@@alexescutia4805 the Vikings were thought to be such great warriors because of their religion and beliefs. The only written documentation’s of them are from people they raided, so usually their words are most likely twisted in a way to make the raided loss as reasonable as possible. They never feared death in battle as it was only a transition into the afterlife, becoming stale and stagnant like Sigurd’s father would be considered dishonourable and foolish. Why wouldn’t you want to go to heaven? King Harald was ambitious yes, but he only wanted unity within the confines of Norway, so when Sigurd hears about this he is disappointed and reasonably angry.

Yeah that’s our culture though. In Norse culture it was considered better to die free than to live as a servant.

Sigurd in that part was a pure jerk

If that's how he saw Sigurd...it's no wonder why Eivor and Sigurd turned against him

@@shadowthief9577 well considering he was trying to build alliances he must have been highly stressed with how eivor was always causing trouble and sigurd was bearly ever home I cant blame him for saying that.

@@eduardor-o4884Maybe, but the irony of the whole thing is … Styrbjorn’s entire clan left with the “selfish boy with no sense of leadership”. Ultimately, Sigurd did prove Styrbjorn right, but Styrbjorn basically became a jarl without people.

​​@@tmc31390to be honest in my own opinion sigurd proved his father right, he is unfit to lead because most of the time It was eivor who was taking care of the village and raiding and building it up while sigurd was away leaving eivor to handle disputes in his place and when he was captured he came back a crippled raging lunatic with a god complex who didn't know his wife was lusting over eivor. It sucks to be sigurd.

That just shows that he wants peace cause he had enough

@@hellgates_javed6451Yeah, but in the end that peace cost him essentially his entire clan. The irony of Styrbjorn saying he couldn’t give his title to Sigurd is that… all his people left with Sigurd anyway.

That is also a good point no one mentioned. It's not just his family he betrayed, but his entire clan and country.

Styrbjorn is a coward and cowards have no place in valhalla... although sigurd has gone mad clearly and I don't trust he belongs in valhalla either

Both Sigurd and Eivor comprehend why their father did what he did, but they are angry because they have been lied to.

I mean try to understand it from siggurd’s pov. He just came back home after years away, and following a massive battle that his dad pushed them not tk do despite it clearly being neccessary, he then goes on to bend the knee, giving away siggurd’s literal birthrught without so much as talking about it before hand. It was incredibly disrespectful to siggurd and eivor and both had a right to be upset at Styrbjorn

What makes it more ironic is that the path that Eivor would lead Sigurd astray on died with Kjotve, it was Sigurd who was leading the path after that.

He was worried about Eivor being a bad influence when the problem was within Sigurd to begin with. It was Sigurd sailing away, finding Basim, and coming back with tales of prophecy and greater destiny. Basim saw what Fulke saw and they all left Eivor in the dark and on their own to be the leader that Styrbjorn KNEW!!! Sigurd couldn't be. He KNEW Sigurd didnt know what it meant to be a leader and in this very video said so that it influenced his decision to abdicate the throne. He had the nerve to blame Eivor instead of facing the truth he already knew. A coward indeed.

Reminds me of a scene in the movie Christine.

It’s probably to not confuse the players. A lot of people don’t know that Miklagård refers to Constantinople

@@josephstalin2606 Yet they use several old norse words throughout the game with translation, they could have used it like Miklagard (Contantinopole)

@@josephstalin2606 To be fair, Sigurd mentions Miklagard very early in the game. Had to look it up because I had no idea what it referred to

@@tiredraven4668 I don’t remember him saying Miklagard instead of Constantinople but then again it’s been a long time since I beat the game. Regardless it’s a very minor detail since they both refer to the same exact place so it doesn’t really matter

They call it milkagard a few times in the game.

Me too. I wish I have a way to piss off sigurd but this game is just a dick to people who want peace

I mean. . . . they're vikings, not exactly there forte

@@swarmofhungrydeathclaws exactly Evior considered her own Father a coward despite him trying to save her

Exactly thats the burden of being a leader

Lol, Vikings are battle born warriors, to seek peace is a cowardice to them. Even worse, deny a son's heritage without his knowledge. Maybe we shall not judge their culture based on our moral standards

@@ivanlim3180 cultures are weird, but that's what makes it interesting.

He disrespected them heavily, but says they should respect him...

😂 he didn’t reply

so your saying to die as someone else's slave? okay good for you valiant warrior.

There are more important things in this life than physical survival. It's called honor. People without honor are not men, but some cowardly slugs. If fighting for glory is a foolish excuse to protect your pride, then willingly surrendering to the enemy to survive is a foolish excuse for the cowardly. Styrbjorn is a coward even in this day and age, what's left of a 9th century viking.

@@xman6879 as a good leader you'd do anything to save the life of your people. Even if it means giving up yourself.

@@aleksandaram making a move that won't cost the life of your people as a leader does not make u a coward. If the enemy force is too strong u may as well surrender just so your people can survive.

​ @sirmcsir2080 You miss the point and can't get into the atmosphere of the game. You are thinking like a 21st century person with your moral compasses and mindset and you don't understand that for the warriors of the Middle Ages, especially the Vikings, death is not the most terrible thing, but the humiliation and dishonor of bend the knee and not going to Valhalla. It's kind of absurd to talk about morality and right decisions in a video game about medieval murderers, thieves, rapists and sociopaths and you (Eivor) personally killed thousands of people and robbed every house you could get your hands on. If Styrbjorn had told Eivor and Sigurt, they would have kicked the sh*t out of f*ckin Harald. The fact that all the warriors went with Eivor and Sigurt to England, and did not stay in Fornsburg with Styrbjorn, says that I am right. The story itself in the game says I'm right. It just gives you a chance not to be too harsh on Harald. In the end, Styrbjorn is left in a half-empty Fornsburg alone in his own regret, dishonor and drunkenness at the end of the game.

.. huh?

@@weadarkfacebook Something I noticed throughout the game. First in Ledecestreshire, when Sigurd says he thinks he and Harald have much in common, then later as he grows more and more unstable, and especially after we returned to Norway. Sigurd is desperate for the title of king, at least at first, and over the course of the game becomes even more ambitious. The difference is that Harald has both the wisdom and the army to back up his ambition, while Sigurd has neither

Sigurd is a whiney spoiled child, really, he is annoying in this game

No he didn't.

@@davidandersen7616 When we meet Ubba and Ivar he literally says he admires Harald

Now thinking about it, it would actually make an interesting story 🤔

That sounds good but I feel like people would just complain that it would just be a repeat of Altair and Ezio's stories. Especially Altair.

Not really then again I didn't like Sigurd

Id say no...

TheSarcasticDruid no to which one lmfao

@@LTD538 don't bother having sigurd wait if you want you can but its just eh either way

Starting a war against harald would have been suicide. That's what styrbjorn said in the beginning of the game to eivor. They had no allies and that he was trying create alliances with other clans so they can grow more and more powerful so they can outnumber their enemies armies. He was up against the wall and In his eyes sigurd was unfit to lead So he had to make a decision, go to war against a far superior army who would gave destroyed them all or bend the knee to harald and ensure the clans survival.

@@eduardor-o4884 what about at the end when you have all these allies and conquered England huh? You should be able to go back to Norway and claim the throne for yourself you can beat harald now.

@@yoshpeters3079 yes when styrbjorn bent the knee to harald they had no allies at all and when you do have all these alliances at the end of the game sigurd had lost interest in ruling Norway since he apparently believes he's meant for greater things then Norway. He even called it a frozen backwater.

You have to go to Randvi and pledge to another region, or of that doesn't work, if you can actually take Randvi out, do that

Cuz female Eivor is the canon. Realistic too since there were female vikings

@@daboss6614 much more realistic than kassandra as there is historical of women in high positions in Viking societies from raiders to queens

I agree! I prefer the male Eivor.

@@daboss6614 actually there are only two written sources of a couple female vikings and many upon many written sources that tell of them escorting women away from the battle and fighting. women were treated very well in Scandinavian times

Adoptive

Adoptive brother

Eivor went to live with Styrbjorn after her/his dad died

Eivor's parents are Varin and Rosta, Sigurd's mother died either in childbirth or very early in Sigurd's life

Omg, I hate both of them, I hate the female one less 😁

@@MightyNoob idk I feel the male one to be charismatic but the female one a bit forced. Up to preference of course

@@MightyNoob What? The male voice actor is amazing

@@JJaqn05 he's crazy

@@JJaqn05 exactly wtf

Because his father wasn't honest to him from day one, he didn't tell Sigurd or Eivor his plan to give his kingdom to Harald...

When "personal ambitions" overlap with those of all your people, then you are right. So all the people left Styrbjornn and joined with Sigurt because he was right. However, the game is about northern european warriors from the middle ages, I don't expect you to understand what that means.

my thought exactly :)

How does saying "I have no father" suddenly belong to God of War now?

After kratos kills Athena by accident in god of war 2 she tells him Zeus is his father then kratos reply’s by saying I have no father.

@@ajayavsm7476 just check it on KZfaq when kratos kills Athena

@@mrnoname7287 Yes I have seen that but many people have said "ai have no father" its not exclusive to Kratos

Everybody who has played the game knows that

@@ogvamp2 apparently not whoever made this video's title.

You can choose eivors gender, Male or female. Sigurd is always Male.

😂😂😂 the mode I am using is called "Ubisoft fucking things up" 😂😂

Because Eivor was a boy during his childhood not a girl :/ SJWs or whatever ruined games these days with the option to be Male or Female no offense though.
