I'm slightly disappointed with the crossbow. I think Pipo (or was is Mharr or Paka?) was giving me a history lesson some weeks ago about why crossbows would be strange during the era of the vikings due to culture of their time. It's like seeing hostile Inuits of the 16th century wielding muskets. It's possible, but super unlikely.
Nothing against it per se.
Unlikely as in "being chosen by the chief god to singlehandedly stamp out mouthy mythical beasts and their minions in a prison world that magically contains everything we need for the task"? If you come to Valheim for Viking realism, I feel like you are bound to be disappointed.
While your point is pretty solid, I do agree with retsam. It does kind- of break immersion a little.. but yeah, only a little.
