But that's the fun part of it.

For a burned body to get entry into Valhalla, it must be completed (including the undeveloped skull). Since most enemies/killers collect skulls, this would be an act of aggression itself, since the dead person's friends wouldn't be able to give a proper funeral and send him to valhalla. Leaving the skull in the body so his friends can give him a proper funeral would become a rare act of mercy (or for when you die alone, starvation, drowning, etc...)

:P

As for bodies with developed skulls, they already go into valhalla so the funeral would be more of a symbolic thing :P

Do you know how many newbies die from ants, drowning and now starvation, lol, a lot more than are killed in pvp ... I like to think of Valhalla as more exclusive ... :)

Anyway, I'll be going there next time I die so if it were to be implemented then at least I'll have ppl to practice on that can't fight back ..... 8-) ... :lol:

Well, you can increase your stats/skills in Valhalla by eating from the great pig. Actually sounds like a nice way/opportunity for noobs to get into Haven combat in a more 'safe' environment :D

Also, I think the more crowded Valhalla is, the funnier it goes :D

Lost Vikings. Awesome game.

Yes, funeral rites would be cool if there was some purpose to them.

Not sure if real life critique or game design comment :roll:

Just kidding, though. Yeah, I've suggested a few ideas/purposes but certainly didn't give it enough thought. But wanted to bring up the subject anyway :)
