Every main character in these games has something akin to Odin’s Sight, but that doesn’t mean they have super powers.

You’re under level 100 in Valhalla after 50 hours? I’m not sure how that’s possible. I’m at almost level 350 after 70 hours. (I hate the leveling/ability system in this game, but at least they dole out XP like candy on Christmas.)

No, I completely agree. I replayed Odyssey after the DLC came out (didn’t have it the first time), and got exhausted as soon as I started the DLC.

It’s better/worse in Valhalla.

Yeah, it’s weird. I mean, now it makes more sense why Loki (Basim) is speaking during the anomalies, but it’s not really clear how he “created” them or why.

Were all the Norse Isu? Don’t the Isu and the Norse have special powers? And yet Basim didn’t have any special powers besides longevity, and Eivor certainly didn’t besides his dreams.

I’d like to know what you didn’t like about Odyssey’s ending.

I liked the glitch puzzles, conceptually. They would’ve been a lot more fun to play with a parkour system that wasn’t terrible.

Yikes. Eivor was dull as bones. The ending was easily the most interesting ending in the series, but in no way was it brilliant. All the endings have been various levels of inscrutable. This was no different in that regard, there was just a lot more of it.

I just beat this game the other day.

I didn’t compare it to any Final Fantasy game.

Better idea: they get rid of the running around in loading screens, but they include a new animus mode for people like Zack where they can just run around in an empty void to their heart’s content.

It’s one thing for people to believe the wrong thing they were taught, and quite another for them to make it such a core part of their identity that any criticism of it is a personal attack on them. That’s even before getting into slavery.

Nah.

These are two distinctly different things you’re talking about.

The fact that Lincoln didn’t embrace abolition from the outset does not make the Confederacy, or people today who idolize and honor them, any less racist and worthy of condemnation. Stop deflecting.

Because they hate people with dark skin.

Who decides what’s a “bad thing,” though? And how many bad things does a nation have to do to invalidate the good things it does?

I mean, first of all, the Chinese flag isn’t synonymous with modern-day slavery in China, so I don’t see how showing the Chinese flag would necessarily imply slavery.

Absolutely. In your scenario, nobody deserves a pass for ignorance.
