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
