![]() But where I thought Odyssey really shined were the side quests. Odyssey's story kept us(my friends watched me stream it) engaged because of the non-stop criss-cross moments, until there was an unavoidable character death, because plot. 1, 2 and Black Flag are the only ones where I thought the story was pretty good(2 being best). To a point, I thought Odyssey's story was actually pretty good compared to other games in the series. "And to do so it's all in the subtleties and nuances you'll find." x "Alfred the Great is a very important historical figure we want to treat right," Laferrière says. The game looks set to cover the Viking campaign against him (the one which led to him being on the run, burning cakes) and his eventual success at pushing the Norse back and unifying swathes of England. "He is shown in that way in the trailer but over the course of the game you'll see there's a lot more nuance to him," I'm told. But Laferrière assures me that Alf will be more of a complex character when you meet him in-game. It's in Britain, of course, you'll eventually meet King Alfred, who the trailer paints as the villain of the piece, complete with some Templar-looking artefacts in the background. "Will good old King Alf really be a moustache-twirling pantomime villain? No, lead producer Julien Laferrière assures me, as we settle down to talk Valhalla in detail. I'm going around posting this, because I have hopes they will get him right.

The show is an adaption of Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling series of historical novels known as The Saxon Stories. ![]() ![]() By the time Uhtred is dispossessed of his land in Northumbria, Ragnar Lothbrok is long dead, and his sons are pretty much in charge of the heathens.A subreddit for "The Last Kingdom," BBC/Netflix television show set in medieval England. Ragnar is just a super common Viking name. It should be noted that the Ragnar (Peter Gantzler) who adopts Uhtred on The Last Kingdom is explicitly not intended to be the famous Ragnar Lothbrok. ![]() If Vikings returns to Wessex to face off with King Alfred - as we predict it will - it will be interesting to see if any of the events match up with the events of The Last Kingdom. Two of those sons - Ubbe and Ivar - also feature prominently in Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom books. We may see more of Ubbe the raider on Vikings soon. Now entering its final act, Hirst's series has passed the narrative baton from the deceased Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) to his sons. It's an interesting quirk of the series' competing points of view that "Ubbe" is portrayed as a thoughtful hero, whereas "Ubba" is a savage raider. Both the English and Scandinavian sources place him in Wessex at the time of the Great Heathen Invasion. The Ubba (Rune Temte) that Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon) kills on The Last Kingdom season 1 is the very same Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) who now leads the sons of Ragnar in Kattegat on Vikings. Then there's Ubba - yet another shared character who demonstrates both the similarities and the differences between the two series.
