I wish turning off the stupid photos on the map actually worked. Or some option to turn off their whole dumb community bullshit completely. I don't want to see buttjoe3456's amazing photo that has 2 likes and is right on top of a treasure chest.

Yeah I've been searching for a filter like in Origns/Odyssey and can't see one at all

FYI there is an exploding arrow skill (I can't remember exactly where I found it but fairly early on) which is neat, but more importantly it works on walls so no need to lug an oil jar around if you have the adrenaline to use.
I have lopped off multiple heads in this game, it's extremely visceral at times

There's a real fiddly one in SPOILERS AREA that involves a tightrope and throwing a jar just past but not at* your feet that I wish I'd tried the arrow on but I found out on literally the next wall.

Oh come on. 40h in and never realized that ability does that. It just says it sets stuff on fire!
I think I'm gonna end up liking Odyssey more than this, but Odyssey was one of my favorite games of that whole console generation, so it was a high bar to clear. Still got a ways to go however
Whats the brutal violence scale on this unit are there heads flyin off necks or what
There is definitely at least two decapitation finishing animations that I know of. One with bearded axes (seems rare) and another for flail enemies. The stun finisher for them basically has your character exploding their head with the flail. Its brutal.
Shields have some surprisingly violent decapitations as well. And I think that while a lot of the kills in here are super violent and over-the-top, they are at least mercifully quick for the most part. I think Syndicate was the most brutal, where you'd have Evie slowly and systematically dislocate every limb before driving a cane through their skull.

There is so much off the wall comic relief in Grantebrisgesire world events, its fantastic. In the last hour I've ran into a full-on cat-lady and a fellow dengr that was complaining of a slight headache...
he had a bearded axe embedded in his skull. You let him know what that itch is and he takes it like a man and asks for a hand in getting him on his way to Odin's Hall

So, here I am in Vinland, hanging out with the Iroquoi, nobody knows what anyone else is saying. I wonder how long it'll take until someone translates what they're saying

More fun in Granitschire, helping a kid who has a slight problem with his dad:
the dad is a disgusting slob that dips his arrowheads in cow shit, doesn't bathe, and the stench has leeched into rhe very walls of their cottage. This 10 year old kid begs for help "otherwise we're destined to die in Father's shit-house."
You need to use a touch to burn away the sickeningly green fart cloud permeating the house then grab and toss crates full of cow and pig shit into the forest.You also find a not written by the kid's mom to her father asking if he could help them out.. She also admits she now only refers to her husband as He Whom I Should Not Have Married, and asks her dad to at least send lye soap, vinegar, and a washbasin.
I wasn't paying attention when I first entered that building and Eivor almost succumbed to the reek of unwashed ass.

Does this game have you travel to Newfoundland to lay waste to Beothuk people

I didn't realize you could burn away the cloud. I would run in, grab a box, run out, toss the box, and eat a couple berries. Fortunately, there's tooooons of healing around that house.
Also, I've seen complaints about the writing in that quest, but I loved how over the top that kid is.
Since I don't have a PS5 and I never did finish Odyssey, I popped it back in. Level 59 currently, helping the fine folks of Lesbos. I finally started messing with changing up the cosmetics of my armor. And now I want the final 5-6 pieces I don't have available, because I am a video game hoarder. I assume they are a few unique sets.
Anyways, customizing leaves you few options when your overriding criteria is "must show off Kassandra's guns as much as possible." I'd been wearing the Amazonian set, and that's hard to beat. I settled on a relatively simple sleeveless Spartan breastplate and matching bracers without sleeves. All the belt options are kind of samey, and not much in the way of armor. For common armors, you can choose from 5 different finishes: black iron, burnished iron, copper, silver, and gold. For some armors, gold doesn't unlock until you hit level 70.
I've been using the same Kronus daggers forever, they're so good. But I would like to find a good unique sword or spear. I haven't loved the ones I've found. I beat a certain snakey lady with a spear that I figured was meant for that, but it's really just a unique named blue-level spear. I'd forgotten how fast and how good reach they had.
I need to look up a story summary or something, because I don't remember any details of what I'm doing in the main plot. I think the Olympics are happening?

No
you're there to hunt a templar you are explicitly not there to start shit with the locals and none of the vikings there want to settle, they want to go back home
I will say from what I recall from the sagas the norse in Vinland literally immediately started shit like upon first contact they stabbed a guy to see what he bled like

Normal as it turned out
you kinda show up well after first contact, and Eivor is specifically only there to start shit with another Norwegian
another thing was, I went to Lunden in the game, and you meet a couple new allies
Eivor walks up to them and is like, "wow you guys are so close! like brothers!" and they're like, "eh heh...yeah, something like that," and that recurs a few times, and it's like...eivor, come on
(there's also a bit where eivor is going off on a trip and she's watching randvi's ass as she leaves and it's not subtle and it's very funny, which is only related in that eivor should really have picked up on what they were putting down much sooner)

And then marvel when it doesn't do anything anyway!
Out of the two treasures I was missing in that area, the one he sold me a map to was the one already marked on my map that I couldn't get to yet.
At least I assume so since no other treasure showed up on the map.
Edit: so it seemed to be they were items held by enemies that hadn't spawned right. Just went back to those areas later and they dropped fine

Like, I get why it doesn't that would be completely game-breaking, but as a fan of consistency it annoys me.

If you are talking about 1-handed swords, then no. They 100% are not a weapon type in this game currently.

I thought I had one in my inventory, but maybe not? I haven't actually used it.
Edit: I guess I was looking at a dagger or two-handed sword.

Only Odin sight (right stick click hold) will highlight things and enemies in a certain radius.
