This is not primarily a problem with Viking lore itself. It feels so out of place because it breaks with the logical consistency of the game itself.

Looting is not assimilating. It's also not picking every ♥♥♥♥-eating warrior, but picking the best among Odin's followers. Otherwise you could send over every peasant boy, because magic is learned in no time.

You learn in "Afterlife" by touching things and remember its use.. The memories come back - even in the dreams. It doesn't make sense that you suddenly remember your fireball artillery. It just seems so disconnected from the main game that I still don't believe it's in the newest version of it.

Sure, some people think it's kind of cool. Because it is. I think it's cool and it's not bad done by itself. But it would also be cool to ride a dragon and shoot fireballs or fight off laser blasters with a lightsaber. It shouldn't all be in the game just because it's cool.

The crossbow sniper rifle is another thing...

The best Viking Warriors adapted to their environment. In Valheim magic is central to that theme since your main duty is to kill gods and steal their magic powers. Magic thus far in Valheim is really just stealing the powers of the fuling shaman, bone pile and the drake. Literally. It fits perfectly.

You again...

And no. It just fits perfectly for "you".
Your argument has no objective stability in terms of breaking with the "before Mistlands"-content. Which is an objective fact Mistlands does by design. You can like it or not, but the game breaks with it.

Even though I really hate the magic introduced in valheim, it's objectively very well implemented. Can't deny this fact, but doesn't change the fact that it breaks with the previews game and that I can't stand logical incosequence.

It's like Rambo is going to use a lightsaber in his next movie. They could set the movie into the future or explain via time travel the technology, yes - and you could rely on it that it's consistent in some way, but you can't deny the fact it breaks with the core of the movie series itself, even he slaugthers through enemys with his light saber arguing "whats the difference? - it's almost like the first film".

If you don't see that, I can't help you either.
