I have now, thank you for the new information (to me)! I think that guy forgot that Vikings were sea pirates lol

Didn't forget, and I think the term sea pirate is a bit redundant.
Pirates don't explore underwater and neither did vikings.
I had not heard of Aegir and Ran, looked it up. Wouldn't really fit into the story line. Since they were giants on good terms with the gods.

(I just wanted to differentiate from online pirates there, lol.) Vikings also didn't actually fight nature spirits and mythical creatures, but the game has plenty of that. I don't know if you play this game for perceived "realism", but I think it's fair to say the devs can take a few liberties here and there.
