Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Started

I bought a month of Ubisoft+ and started playing Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. I prefer it over Origins and Odyssey at the same point in my playthrough of them. I wish the whole game was in Norway. I haven’t spent enough time in the England map to make a judgment on it. Everything seems to be better except for the skill tree. I hate the skill tree. So many pointless perks, stripping individual skill points of value.
