Do you have any references about what they got wrong and what the more traditional stories are?

I expected they took some liberties for storytelling purposes, but if it’s as egregious as you make it out to be, I’d love to hear the common versions of the stories.

Ok so the main plot point is entirely wrong because they didn’t bother translating anything enough or caring about the mythology.

Odin’s wife is Frigg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigg

This is known kinda like, Luke is Leia’s sister, Mary is the mother of Jesus that type of thing. But the way you pronounce the name is nearly identical to Freyja. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyja

Freyja is then in the game pretending to be Odin’s wife.

They get this fundamental detail wrong because they have such a poor understanding of the mythology. I’m trying to think of an equivalent for how wrong it is… like maybe using Mary Magdalene instead of Mary, Jesus’ mother as the Virgin Mary. She really wasn’t no virgin…
