I'm not even talking about potential abilities or play styles they can use all kinds of things regardless of the outward shell (viking, samurai whatever.)

I'm talking about the overall visual aesthetic. How is a viking stylistically different from a warrior? It isn't, warrior covers both the viking and berserker aesthetics, even if you give them a warhammer which isn't any different than a great axe except for the damage type.

Why would they give us a job that looks exactly like warrior over something that has a unique and iconic appearance that is vastly more popular.
