Fucking finally!

The portrayal of Vikings in this game as the good guys and the druids as some evil monsters is comical to say the least.

It's like most games and movies/series lately; police are the bad guys, drug dealers/criminals are the good guys.

I'm waiting till gamescom to pick up the game, odyssey had a huge discount on uplay during gamescom; picked up the ultimate edition for only 35.- back then.

From the viking perspective it is true i guess.

It's not about the "Viking perspective" it's about "what is currently more popular with the mainstream perspective".

What do you mean? Mainstream Viking popularity? Then i agree. Vikings are currently idealized heavily.

They aren't "the good guys," they are just who you're playing. I thought the base game did a rather good job of not trying to paint any specific group as any better than the others.

Cool to see Ireland feature in a game.

 

[Kenpachii]

Can't wait.

 

[Valentino]

Where's the assassins creed stuff?

 

[Kenpachii]

Well still no dlc. Kinda confused by there release to be honest.

To be fair, there are a lot of Viking 'experts' that say Vikings were not the bloodthirsty savages they are portrayed in history. How they know this i have no idea though.

People are never happy. U see it even in this thread. Lots of posts of people that never even touched the games but just read some reddit of a shit poster and jump to conclusions. Because its obviously clear they never even touched it.

You mean like reality.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

You mean like reality.

Reality is I'm very grateful to the police. There could be some occasions where you find bad police, just like any bad person in a company or life in general. They don't hire angels, they're all humans and humans do mistakes. But criminals are always bad with few exceptions.
