In this video, I will explore the new Viking survival game Valheim. I will give you my honest thoughts about its authenticity, and point out what is real Viking culture, and what is fantasy.

I recommend the book to anyone who wishes to learn more about the Vikings, and the settlement of Iceland. When you purchase through the link above, you will support the channel with a small amount from the final sales price. Thank you, in advance, if you decide to do so.

It’s so funny I was just recommended this game to play and my first thought was “how accurate is it to how real Vikings lived?”

they did have a valkyrie or a winged woman carry you to your spawn point at the beginning of the game but for some reason they changed it :)

but since the iron age was before the viking age, wouldn't the runestones still be around?

Yeah that is possible, but I just looked at what was related to the culture during the Viking Age, but technically you are right.

Regarding the runes. Why would it be wrong to find an outdated set of runes during the viking age? Not everything the vikings saw came from their own, short, historic period. It would kind of be like me finding an outdated nokia phone and making a call with it in 2021. Not all that weird for a viking to find some outdated runes in a world past death. As a matter of fact, we still find the same runestones today! And they are even more outdated now. Why would you think that the only runes vikings would see on stones would be the most recent ones? I'm sure Odin installed some magic stones before the viking age started and didn't bother to update them all with the latest font.

6:19 I think it would be much more interesting to be carried away by a beautiful Valkyrie than by this odd bird... to each his own I guess... hopefully the developers of this game will stumble upon this video and draw lessons from it. Allow me to be partial towards expensive helmets, though... as the Norsemen would undoubtedly be, I am certain of it... yes, I like those expensive helmets. And Valkyries... well, I am repeating myself. Vi ses senere.

I think the bird that carries you in the beginning is a nod to the swedish live-action movie based on Astrid Lindgren's Ronja the Robber's Daughter novel. The harpies in that movie looks exactly like that. i.pinimg.com/originals/49/0c/bb/490cbbebcc8524130d418500c8f0fae9.jpg I really like that appearance as it feels more otherworldly.

I think comparing a helmet to owning a sportscar is a little exaggerated. Haven't only 2 helmets been found in viking graves?
@Skjalden
@Skjalden 3 жыл бұрын
Since swords are considered to have been weapons for the wealthy, and there have been found many more of those than helmets, I think the helmets must have been very expensive.

The valkyrie is not a bird, if you look it has a womans face and is wearing a bird mask. It has was woman's legs too. Its a half bird half woman.

Coming from Valheim here, seeking some inspiration and knowledge. Good on you, thanks for your channel =) (edit) In case the weapons and armor designs will stay like we have them now, would a mod be the answer to bring more authentic styles?

You use the symbol of the Ingvy, the Saxons, those people of Freya and the Wr-Alda. The Vannier. And there is no talk of the Jotnar of the Jotan, the "Neanderthals". They were stronger and smarter than us. They bedded ancient womenfolk and created Us, Cro-Magnon man. We hunted them with bow and arrow, for we too were carnivores, after our fathers. But to come face to face with one was doom.

No, it was supposed to ask the question in a short sentence of how much in the game is Viking culture. I think the sentence is okay, it could probably be better.
