AC: Vikings thoughts

  • this is absolutely the peak of 2010s AAA
  • there’s so much of it and it’s good
  • you can tell they’re being “Yay Diversity” in parts but it’s not obnoxious
  • a lot of it is just presenting the modern view of Vikings as well-traveled, incl. the eastern european rivers down to Constantinople
  • the gay London sheriffs are well-executed
  • having your merchant in Dark Ages England be Chinese is a bit much
  • they’re continuing the AC:Ancient Greece thing of having your moral choices not be good/bad but pagan/christian
  • kinda notable they’ve dropped that “made by a team of all faiths” disclaimer when this religionizes the deadly conflict the most yet
