Wait, The Odyssey (the Christopher Nolan upcoming movie) uses fucking Viking Longships in Ancient Greece instead of Triremes?
Well. There's "artistic freedom" and there's "History class was hard, beside it's about a country I don't live in so fuck it".

I still prefer Fallout 4 over any other Fallout game and over any other Bethesda game.

Is it a "love triangle" if the Betty adjusts to you not being interested quickly and never become jealous, you only perpetuate the triangle thru asshole player choices, and the Veronica stays jealous until the end?
That's a one-legged triangle at best, isn't it?
