Thor isn't a ripped sexy dude, Loki isn't a polite Englishman with greasy hair and the Hulk hasn't appeared to smash either around. While historical accuracy is very exciting for someone like me-I have played a lot of Crusader Kings 3 for that exact reason-it's nice to have a Viking fantasy grounded in real Norse mythology. All of the realm visits have genuinely funny quests and moments, whether that's one of the Norse gods delivering a banger of a one-liner or a Jotun pretending he's a fish to protect his scaley brethren.
It reminds me of the NPCs in The Witcher 3, who had pretty excellent patter about current events, tutting at Geralt as he runs by while kids sing songs it all makes these fantasy worlds more interesting. There's a lot of unintentional humour the way Eivor/Havi delivers some lines and listening to the Muspels moaning about something or other while you're stealthily moving between them is great fun. And transforming into a bird to dive-bomb assassinate people, naturally."ĭespite the storyline in Dawn of Ragnarok being pretty grim, it feels oddly lighthearted. ".It's about a father getting revenge and destroying a big fiery giant in a mythical land. It's a welcome change to the "real" map where exploration can be summed up as: church, farm, church, sad-looking village, crumbling castle, before finding yet another church. All of this pales beside Yggdrasil's foreboding roots in the background, reminding you that Svartalfheim is full of mystery and wonder. Even the Muspel fortresses, floating high in the sky, look impressively Reaper-like as they impose on the horizon. You can climb cliffs of gold, surrounded by beautiful dwarven structures, and said dwarves will sing about you in their shelters as you perform heroic deeds.
