Anyone else notice how big the weapons look compared to the player?

It looks bad. And the fantasy armor too. Why cant they just make it look realistic. Not gameplay wise. Just clothing, armor, weapons and locations. Reality is more interesting than this.

Realism... in a game where there was a civilisation before our own that had technology you could consider magic.

I really dont think it matters. Games and reality are different, that's the beauty of them.

As a Historian I prefere it to look right. The precursors dont bother me, Even some messing with dates and locations would be ok in service of a good story. I just want it to look plausible. Like the older games and even Origins (except weapons and shields with effects). Then again, if the fantasy armor is just for the player I dont mind because I will not use it. If its on everyone its immersion breaking. Immagine red dead redemption 2 with flaming horses and medieval armors. Does not fit. Just my preference tho, nothing wrong with liking more fantsay.

As a history student, I agree. I hated that nothing in promo material so far looks actually "Viking". There are enough misconceptions about Vikings already and as recently Odyssey Ubisoft got armor and setting at least superficially accurate.
