I should read up more on Norse mythology.

If possible, i recommend an English version of this cartoon;

It's a bunch of interpretations of the classic Sagas, with more humor.

Dude, now you made me hungry!

If Norse is all about eating contests, and ale and mead and wine.... I think I was born in the wrong century. I need to go back in time.

That was hilarious to watch, this looks like a '70s, '80s cartoon? I never ever saw it when I was a toddler. What rare gem did you just unearth from YouTube?

Of course it's not all about that. It's also about farting contests and rap battles.

1986 apparently, not sure how well known it is outside Scandinavia, but it's damn near a must-watch for Danish kids at least.

It's pretty spectacular, fun and a gentle introduction to Norse Mythology.

I liked how the recent dev stream really got into the lore for us but am kinda disappointed how people only asked alot of knight lore questions and barely anything for the samurai. I really want to know more about the Aramushas/Shinobis "Secret Order" I feel like they might be something like For Honors version of the Yakuza but cant be for certain. The lack of Samurai lore questions in general kinda sucked.

I'm a bit sad that they pulled all the lore questions from the Reddit.
The Reddit, compared to the forums, seem to be like 90% memes and 10% discussion, whereas here it's the other way around. So naturally everyone wants to ask about the memefied characters, but at least we got some good ones about the world of For Honor itself.

Ari also pointed out that whatever writer will replace her hasn't even been hired yet. But if y'all are up for it, I'd be happy to campaign for this new writer to guest on a Den sometime, and we should take a week, or maybe even 2 to collect and pick the best lore questions, both from here and the Reddit.

Its a shame shes leaving now I wanted to hear more of her ideas but I doubt the new writer will do anything even if they release new heroes its just gonna be the same paragraph long explantion. However the thing where she says its in OUR present day is interesting.

Hopefully Roman and Damien takes notice of how many of us actually, genuinely want more lore in the game, and puts the new writer to work. Ari mentioned that she had a ton of ideas and backstory thought out, but never written down or anything, but maybe she can leave some basic instructions for whoever gets hired.
Basically, I don't want the new writers job to be just thinking of names for our gear, and snippets of lore for the new maps and heroes. Lets get some actual narrative going.

The alternate universe thing is interesting, but not unique to For Honor. Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, Shannara Chronicles, even that Reign of Fire dragon movie with Christian Bale all take place in some alternate version of our world.
I do quite like it as a framing device for stories.

Turns out I was kind of right. Historical fiction.

Vikings is historical fiction. For Honor is alternate history.

I almost want to cry with losing her. The story writer that is. I'm concerned now that I'm,invested they Re going to break my trust and go full PC and hire a complete imbecile who knows nothing and **** it all up.


I wish they would keep her.
