Okay. I'm opening this again. Here are the guidelines from here on in:
I think the OP kind of understands the concept of Nords not being "Vikings." This has been stated repeatedly, and yet a number of you seem to have this irresistible urge to read into this thread anyone saying that "Nords must be exactly like ancient Vikings, and therefore 100% historically accurate." No one's said that anywhere in this thread. So stop arguing against a point no one has made yet, okay? Very annoying to try and clean up a thread that go so dirty, so quickly, for so little reason. I won't be doing it again.
That said - Nords are certainly inspired by Viking culture. Some discussion of this inspiration is, I would think, not only warranted - but kind of a given, considering the themes and location of this game.
So play nice, guys.
