I’m a history nerd in general but it was Tolkien describing how he wondered what the Anglo-Saxons would have thought of the Roman structures (and comparing it to the Hobbits viewing the First Age Elven structures) that originally piqued my interest in the Anglo-Saxons. But any game that sparks that interest in others is okay by me, even if I’ll likely never play it due to a low attention span when it comes to games other than the Legend of Zelda.
