No. Alfred the Great was the one who started the castle building campaign after he defeated the Great Heathen Army and mostly it was just walling cities and rebuilding the Roman walls of old Roman settlements.
That's all they were. Walls. They weren't castles like they were suddenly afraid the Vikings were going to start using catapults and siege towers and shit.
Adrian Jackson
I already knew the answer, which is as follows:
Of course they didn't . This game is full of blatant anachronisms and straight up fantasy shit, in the architecture, clothing, and even weapons.
It's a shame they think they have to "pretty up" historical periods to make them more appealing. They did the same shit with the Ancient Greece game and turned it into disney's hercules.
Asscreed has always been mediocre, but at least before they put effort into the settings and you could use them as historical tourism sims. AC unity Paris was literally 1:1 scale with all the monuments and churches being scaled and spaced identically to real life. Oh well.

I'm not into the storyline so I don't care about that, I just wanna explore faithfully recreated historical settings. Which I can't do anymore.
Christopher Reed
Fair enough. But they went full fantasy with the previous game right? So something like this was expected.
Ryder Hughes
nope anglo saxons had moats actual castles where a contintental thing
Noah Sullivan
Niet. Even if they did, the castles in-game are obviously modern ruins
Levi Allen
Yes but that game was by a different development studio where as this game was made by a studio who previously had been pretty faithful and grounded

Okay, you see that shit on top of everything that looks like bad dentistry? That's supposed to have wood over it. Those are basically windows.
This isn't a castle, it's what the ruins of a castle look like today.
I can only assume that Ubisoft got their concept of what a real castle actually looks like from Super Mario Brothers.

By the way, while I'm still in a bitching mood. I can't express my displeasure enough of how they forgo the practical and well-crafted clothing and armor vikings really used, for generic cosplay-looking fur pelt caveman leather shit.
Jordan Anderson
This game takes place in 840AD and that structure looks abandon for AT LEAST 100 years so it's even worse than I first thought.
Jacob Rivera
wish i could be a viking in shining mail pillaging christian cucks and stealing their daughters

You can literally tell that the real design was made for cosplayers. I mean it Looks like a bad cosplay. A million leather belts, giant foam axe props, etc.

The only thing more retarded than complaining about historical accuracy in an Assassins Creed game is caring about Assassins Creed games.
It's literally the equivalent of sitting down in a sandpit with a bunch of toddlers and telling them they're doing it wrong.
Ayden Taylor
If you're going to make something fantasy make it fantasy, if you're going for a historical representation then do that. Don't be a literal nigger about it.
Andrew Watson
Stone castles as we know them weren't built in England until the Normans came. Before that the Saxons were largely building wooden fortifications.
Luke Wright
They didn't... Heavily fortified stones castles were a medieval era thing, so after the Norman invasion of England.
Charles Morales
It's condescending.
Aaron Rodriguez
Wow calm down pedo
Aaron Bailey
They used to get the settings very right. Obviously the storylines and superhuman climbing skills were never accurate. But I never cared about those parts, I just wanted to explore accurate recreations of historical sites and monuments, which most games in the series did a stunning job of. Until recently.
Anthony Lewis
If they wanted to actually make it historically accurate they'd just remove the women. Women didn't fight in wars except in a few exceptions as archers in the scythian tribes. The most fighting a norse woman would do is maybe to defend the village while the men were on a raid. Having a woman on a raid would be suicide.
