STORY PASS ⚔️ The Saga of Kaldrfjell ⚔️

This looks so cool! I'm a tad disappointed that I missed the window to at least buy the cash pass.

Usually it asks if you would like to restart, after your first completion, as long as the stories are still active. Upon your second completion, there will be no option to continue.

While they definitely may have pulled inspiration from said tattoos and speculation is completely understandable - even called for against ATA many times, the Seer tattoos are not mirroring indigenous ones - the marks on her face actually don’t appear to be tattoos at all. They are 3 thick black lines rather than the typical thin ones, which are typically greater in number, and look to be face paint, as her tattoos are a completely different color on her body compared to the black on her face and more specifically across her eyes. Viking-style face paint is seen to often have lines included, the main difference in hers is that the lines don’t thicken down the neck.

I know my response to this is late but..
From all the records we have about Vikings and tattoos/face paint (which isn’t much) it is said that the Vikings did tattoo/paint their bodies but it was not done above the neck.
The Viking face paint we usually see in media today is most likely not accurate at all.
Meanwhile we do have indigenous people who do have chin tattoos telling us that they do not want others to use these.
So even if this is a game and these lines were meant to be makeup, I personally still feel unsettled by people stealing indigenous peoples practices. Especially to depict my Nordic ancestors, even in a fantasy-esque way.
 
I feel like it’s the oppression Olympics in these comments. It’s a freakin game!! Lol.

I guess it must be very focused by family. In my research outside of my own, I’ve seen many conflicting things of makeup vs none and the difficulty in discovering a solid one way truth. My own family has done it for generations now, so my apologies if there is offense in what I’ve said, I simply know that my background has it, I’ve seen that it has been around for some, and thus I perceive the avatar to be relatively normal.

I’m not offended at all!
I as a Scandinavian just feel unsettled when my ancestors are depicted with cultural practices that has not been seen in my culture, but has been used by indigenous people.

I mean you can scream oppression Olympics all you want.
This is just a game yes, but it’s played by real people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I can’t help but feel unsettled when cultures are being appropriated and misrepresented.
These things still matter even if it’s online imo.

We can have a discussion and learn from each other and our families without it being “oppression Olympics” (: I hope you can learn that conversations can be much more nuanced than such a thing.
