maybe i can do my part thenSince I'm not a native viking, I'm getting help from this website when I need to write some "Old Norse".

According to them, it should mean "thanks", and the correct spelling is : þǫkk, þökk, þokk
the old norse "þokk" is nowadays "takk" wich is conformly used all over scandinavia as "thanks" *sidenote for the murcas here : finnland is not scandinavia.
the letter "þ" is a leftover from the runic alphabet and is named Thorn which is spoken as an unpronounced "th" like in "thanks".if you have to substitute it use "th" . its used in modern icelandic aswell, altough only at the beginnig of words. in modern icelandic, when not at the beginning of a word it gets substituted with the letter "ð" which is named "Eth". if you have to substitute it use "d".
on a further note: dont use the accute o "ò" as a substitute for ö. it has another sound and is confusing.
i would recommend to write it either as, thokk or simply as takk.
thanks for listening to my TED-Talk
also thank you for making this game, its awesome and a breath of fresh air between all the college avns

"murican" here... Finland only has one 'n' in US English. And in the State where I live, Finns (here's where two n's are used) are sort of lumped in with Scandinavians (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) since those 4 groups comprised the majority of immigrants to the Northern half of the State in the 1800's.
But the Finns, good-natured folk that they were and are today, really didn't mind others making that mistake. "Oh well, at least they were somewhat close."

It wouldn't surprise me that "Bókk" is just a loanword fail. An attempt to borrow an English word that just didn't catch on. Like when the Vikings in the story were stealing the books and the Saxons that they were stealing from told them the middle English word bọ̄k when asked the name of what they were stealing. Then again, nobody in the story seems to speak middle English so that theory has one foot out the door.

Nope. Also, searching the thread (top right corner) is very helpful. This has been asked and answered many, many times.

There will be a few things that you will understand that you wouldn't otherwise, but since your protagonist suffers from amnesia and only slowly is recovering his memories it might actually be to your advantage to not be aware of the events of the previous game. In other words, dealer's choice.

And I'm sure post like this crying about it will appear many, many times in that same search.
Never understood why people like you feel so compelled to police threads in this manner.

or people´s overall tacky taste aka as in lack off...
you just made a very very very ok not very powerfull enemy but an extremly and particularly anoying one!you mean like when people claim some unappealing (by all regular standards) chick to be the best one?
from the top of my head an example from SG and that chick with a scar, which perhaps only mother could love/vote for?
nah, cant see it happening here - all these chicks are worth voting for, one really hardly can go wrong with either of them

HERM WE SEEN THEIR LIFES... i mean except for the wolves younger daughter all of them should have some sort of scarification ! we have seen them all as fighters and huntresses so Sasha Having a scar is a mistery, these girls not having them is an even bigger mistery in the world that is being portrayed!you mean like when people claim some unappealing (by all regular standards) chick to be the best one?

Katja has scars. Contribution to realism => done.
And hey...maybe some other girls have scars in some parts where you didn't see them yet

Just finished V0.35. Thanks for veery enjoyable VN. Nicely done! Music fits, visuals are quite good, writing is pretty good, the ladies are compelling. All in all very high quality thanks for your hard work.
I'm going to offer some criticism that I hope you'll find productive, however it's worth what you've paid for it so its value is solely up to you. I played through the first selected clan (WW) three times and the other two twice.
Although it's not your product, nor your problem, this seems a good place to mention that the walkthrough mod has a few errors that prevent gaining affinity with three or four women.
Given that pursuing the primary LI from more that one clan is disallowed, it's obvious that, to experience all the content, a minimum of three play throughs are necessary. What is not obvious until you begin to play is that the restrictions on the calendar make it impossible to cover all the side content and your selected primary LI in a single play through. Very annoying.
The PDF correctly identifies those choices. However the PDF lacks many details that would allow the player to minimize replaying various segments. The reason that I ended up playing through the various clans multiple time is that nowhere in the walkthrough was it pointed out that the order of one's choices determined whether or not you'd have the required stats for other choices. So the player ends up making a throw away pass at the primary LI to determine requirements, then selecting side girls based on the stat map in the PDF (which doesn't generally provide insight into stat gains when playing other parts of the path). What this means is even if I want to focus on the LIs of one clan, I find that I need to gain affinity with women from the other clans to get the required stats for the primary LI of the clan I'm pursuing. This increases the annoyance of the time limitation imposed by the calendar.
Why oh why is there free roam? Why oh why am I searching the background to click on guards or Ravens? How does that enhance my enjoyment of a visual novel. To quote the developer's PDF "Is this game a SandBox or an RPG? No." The developer then goes on to say "That said, you might have to think about your actions, their order, the girls you choose to romance, in order to get all the available content." So let me give you a bit of insight: That's pretty much the core aspect of a SandBox or RPG. If you use elements of a SandBox or a RPG then that's what you're creating. It is disingenuous to hand wave that away. That said, I was never stranded trying to figure out what to click on to advance the plot, so for me those elements were just annoying, not disqualifying.
Despite my criticisms, you have produced a very solid and highly enjoyable product. I look forward to your next release. Thank you again for your hard work and commitment to quality.

I love that GleenX and I were on the same page (as a joke, obviously):
5 HOURS AGO
It's finally time to announce the third episode of the saga: ShitStorm !
Get your tissues ready, you're going to get a kick out of it !
The synopsis is about Sterquilinus, the Roman god of digestion who is having a misfortune.
He was invited to a dinner prepared by Bastet. Little did he know about the terrible cooking skills of the Egyptian Cat Goddess.
Now he has an incurable diarrhoea, which threatens to flood the earth. The MC and his team of sexy angels have to stop this disaster.
The roster will be announced soon...
... or not.
