#gotta say#as somebody who’s been a norse-flavored polytheist/animist for a while#the writers for the new gow game really did their research#it’s clear they took a scholarly interest in the archaeology + source material and portrayed it with love and respect#how is it that a game about most of the gods being villains is more accurate and respectful (imo) than media where the gods are the heroes#instead of projecting the story they wanted to tell onto the gods#they took a new interpretation of the lore and extrapolated from there#it truly is fantastic and I am so deeply impressed and touched and surprised!#anyway i am in love with it and i am so glad it is a thing#ALSO great and sensitive portrayal of abuse and trauma and the aftereffects of each and the systems that encourage it#im so glad i waited til after my finals to watch a playthrough because uhhh#i am *obsessing*#they went all in! even the way that odin’s character design implies he’s not originally from the norse pantheon#there’s so much to say about this and i could go on for an HOUR#no joke#these games are so close to my heart for so many reasons#and they continue to worm their way in further#(also regarding the second tag: when i say norse polytheist for a while i mean like a decade#i don’t know everything there is to know#but i know a good fair amount and i am so grateful that the santa monica team did such a beautiful job here)
