Something I've been wondering for a while

Post by Mameluk »

In the beta trailer, at around 2:46, there's a battle axe called Norja lying on the floor.

It's been bothering me for so long. The thing is, Norja means "Norway" in Finnish. Norway the battle axe? Whaaat? Is it some kind of easter egg? What's the story behind it?

Please, just tell me if I will ever find out about it in the game or not. It would be so disappointing not to see or hear from it again.

Oh, but if it's spoilers, don't tell me anything. :D

Well, vikings came from Norway. And vikings had some really badass axes!

So they named an axe after that. Maybe.

Your guess is as good as mine, but hopefully it's nothing so generic... I mean, there's also an armor lying down there, so there's gotta be more to it than that, right? ;)

Perhaps a viking who took the wrong turn at the last crossroad... :D

Vikings should stick to longships and reaving, and stay out of dungeons.

Well, it's an axe made out of black metal... So yeah, basically it is a pun and an homage to vikings.

But it's a really nice weapon, you should use it if you manage to find it! :)

Not used an axe?! When I made my first party, my pure attack Minotaur went right for the Axe, cause Axe's in any game always have high damage!

You've got to use an axe, dude. Maybe if you can find the "ancient axe". The damage is really awesome!
