People in critique and ideas keep complaining about things that wouldn't fit with the game's ancient nordic theme. How about we make a compilation of everything that's already in the game but doesn't fit the theme? Here are the things I can think of off the top of my head:
Snowglobes (invented in 1900's Vienna )
Top hat (invented in 1700's England)
Monocle (invented in 1700's Germany)
Teddy Bear (invented in 1900's USA)
Feather duster (invented in 1870's USA)
Golden Cat (invented in 1600's Japan)
Toga (was primarily worn in ancient Rome)
Opium (didn't get popular in Europe until the 1500's. Even then, it was mostly a British and Portuguese thing)
Kebab (it was mostly a middle eastern thing)
Hookah (it was mostly a middle eastern thing)
Tobacco (brought to Europe from America by Christopher Columbus in the early 1500's. It was mostly popular in Spain and Portugal.)
Tea (made its way to Europe in the 1550's, starting in Portugal)
Fossil collection (Europeans didn't think much about fossils until the 1600's)
Porcelain doll (invented in 1840's Germany)
Slinky (invented in 1940's USA)
Scarlet gown (come on now, that's a modern hoochie mama dress. You wouldn't have seen women wearing that before the 1900's.)
Bunny slippers (while slippers have been around for a long long time, animal themed slippers didn't become popular until relatively recently.)
Seal burgers (burgers were invented in 1800's USA)
Ant farm (invented in 1900's France)
Butter scones (invented in 1500's Scotland)
Candy apple (invented in 1900's USA)
Honeybun (invented in 1950's USA)
Maple Syrup (Europeans learned about it in the 1500's)
Pumpkin and everything made from them: (they come from Mexico and didn't make their way to Europe until Columbus went to America)
Mammoths (They went extinct long before the Viking age)
Rose gold (It was discovered in 1800's Russia)
Post boxes (invented in 1600's France)
Camembert (invented in 1700's France)
Bagpipe (it didn't get its current shape until the early 1700's)
Wine bottles made of glass (invented in the 1600's)
Almost every single hat in the store
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about certain things.
