In the DLC for AC Valhalla, I played as Odin and fought werewolves. It's not a historically accurate game series, and nor has it ever claimed to be. It just sprinkles in historical people, which does add a layer of immersion at times.

It says he was a retainer.
Imo there is a bad habit of the west taking Japanese Historical periods, and trying to un-Japanese the feel of those times.
Or even in a Show like Tokyo Vice's case, where admittedly it's in the modern day, but the two leads of Season 1 were the two white characters, in a Show called Tokyo Vice.
Unless the story is balls to the wall unrealistic (like Gintama for example) then I do expect the culture of the period that's being picked, is to be adhered to, to some extent.
It doesn't make the Game bad, but it does make it flawed imo.
