Okay so this is only an idea. If the game is call Sea of Thieves, then why are there only "pirates" in the game. By saying this, technically the Vikings were thieves, if you think about it. Soooo.... could we MAYBE look forward to seeing a Viking ship appear on the game? Because that would melt my heart! Sköl!!
Only Pirates?
The Viking thing is actually interesting cause they can add a fourth boat that can be sailed or rowed!
Maybe be the fastest “big” boat into the wind. Turn real tight but takes super co-ordination etc.
Maybe in Liu of cannons it gets a Scorpion or catapult. Something to balance as it would be the only boat with oars.

@glannigan I agree! If nothing else, how about some Viking themed clothes or hairstyles?
It’s a really good idea man! Plus people have all been wanting like “Ice” and stuff.
We know they won’t use the V word but yea they can totally pull off a new “people” from the North game area kinda vibe and add ice and cosmetics and Viking ships or what not.
Kinda Viking but not Viking...like a How To Train your dragon vibe.
@glannigan yes, I agree! Maybe some unique cosmetic features that nod closely to the legendary Northmen. But I do think a Viking or ship would be smashing!!! Haha
As much as I like the idea of longships, they just don't fit the theme well enough for me. I can totally see some norse themed cosmetics with furs and horns and whatnot, especially when the ice region makes its way to the game, but the time period's all wrong for longships and catapults.
Now a viking themed figurehead and ice-breaker would be awesome!
As a side point, I'd love to see some variation hull designs for the three ship classes we do have. Same basic stats, just different skins.
@captain-arcanic I could go along with that too. I do agree about the timeline. I just wish that we could see some sort of nod in that direction. Clothes, weapons, etc...
@glannigan The fourth boat needs to be a small single collapsible sail type that can attach to the ship like the rowboat.

It’s called a Row Boat
@glannigan huh? I'mmm genuinely unclear on your point. The word rowboat is correctly a compound. There is no space. Not that it matters a whole lot. Technically, the craft would be called a dinghy... which is basically a rowboat with a sail.
Seeing as the last vikings were in 1066, and Sea of Thieves is set in the early 1600s, I don't think we'll be seeing them. A northern style of cosmetics and an icy region are basically guaranteed at this point. They also fall under the category of a large unified group, which would certainly not get along perfectly with the pirates in the area. Should a similar group even catch wind of the location of the Sea of Thieves (which is quite the well-guarded secret), they would still have to get in, which couldn't be done easily even if they knew of the passage through the Devil's Shroud.

@viperishemu2992 Yeeeehaw matey! Now hand over yer plunder capiche?
LOL. When you put it like that it actually starts to sound like a good idea!
I love vikings, but in my opinion they won't fit the game AT ALL. By that I mean, they CAN be IN the game but not in their form itself... I think if Rare finally puts the ice region we could see some cosmetics that kinda look like viking style. I find perfectly fine to have some cosmetics for the ship that could have some similarities with vikings, just put some Stylish sails with some runes or some shipheads with dragons or paintings and stuff like that. But don't bring a a ship based totally on vikings cuz it doesnt fit, as also wouldnt fit some other weapons of that age...
I feel it could be cool to have more variety on cosmetics and if The sea of Five Winds makes his way into the game with her "asian, polynesian" or whatever style they got in that place, we could also have vikings looky variants for that, but it needs to remain with a pirate look. You just can't create a game based on the timeline of World War II and put Laser guns on it...
Basically what Im saying is that we can get thoose clothes and cosmetics, but we need a reason to have them, like a region which makes sense to it... Who is gonna wear fur clothes on the caribean zone... also we cant just wear those clothes... we need to make it look pirate so it doesnt have that shocking difference on the themathic of the game.
With all that said... Sköl!!
Yehaaa!!
Spread the curse in the seas!
