Yeah 100%. I still listen to the soundtrack on YouTube when I'm driving to work lol. Haven's loose viking theme wasn't so much in your face when it was younger. It had more of it's own identity, and the music really helped solidify that. Kinda like, SNES mmojrpg vibes I guess. It felt more age ambiguous like the turn of the industrial revolution in the 1800s with brick walls, coinpresses, newsboy's caps. But also bows and arrows, armor, etc. I Feel like occasionally we get a taste of that same aesthetic with glass greenhouses and sleds but whenever a new viking related thing is added it just feels kinda forced, for instance like the ambient music that's in the game now. Just... viking chants while I'm wearing my Maga hat, leather backpack, and cooking hot wings and pancakes in a skillet. Identity crisis
