Some things I’ve noticed, maybe it’s somehow connected with the lore:

-At police station there’re screens with wanted Omnics 

-All over Paris you can see some revolution posters (French Revolution times 2 lmao) with Omnics on them, something like uprising is coming -There’s this building (on the last ss) that has only 3 floors but the third one looks very special. And the elevator inside says that it’s on the third floor. That maybe there’s someone important rn

-In a museum/chateu(?) (that 2nd capture point) there’s covered piece, maybe it’s a painting or statue/monument

MY GUESS 

There’s going to be a uncovering of this piece. And at the event someone very important is going to be harmed by wanted Omnics.  Overwatch will be sent to look for them in Paris’s catacombs and they’ll find their hideout. Archives?

This is so valid pomp, but mchanzo can’t die!!! Never. Sorry y’all, but Ashe and Mccree has a good possibilities of having SOME sort of relations. Be it friendship or relationship. Mccree was the reason Ashe got into crime, and made it her goal to soar the ranks of deadlock while Mccree was a drifter and wouldn’t stay for long. Also people, Jesse can have relationships with whoever he wants 😤😤😤 But he’s definitely with one of the ninjas currently!! Also, can we hype for another cute picture of Mccree as a child like oh my god baby BOY!

How did you like the new Overwatch short? This is all I’m talking about for awhile...

McCree is my husband 4ever. He looks so beautiful I died.

I’m just kinda “eh” about Ashe.

She doesn’t interest me, and Tumblr already having a big fit over her makes me even less interested.

(And the people saying that McHanzo is cancelled because McCree and Ashe maybe once had a relationship uuuggghhhh)

((Y'all. McCree is like 37. He was outta Deadlock by 18. And like. People can have past relationships. Lordt.))

(((I’m die hard for McHanzo cause I love them boys)))

((((Please Blizzard. Give me lore I can follow. Please. Inconsistencies kill me.))))

It seems like Overwatch doesn’t really expand on the potential of conversation. People have their short banter but it never has that finishing touch of a really good shut you up line. We are about to fix this.

Another interesting information from Karahe from the ObscureWatch discord server. In the new Ratsaver skin, or rather in its new wheel, you can find a statuette - Maltese Falcon (Maltese Falcon). An interesting fact is that the figurine of the Maltese Falcon, even though it is not a real artifact, costs an incredible amount of money. Someone bought a figurine for $ 4.1 million, which may not be worth that much money. So the Ratsman stole something incredibly valuable anyway. #overwatch #overwatchgame #blizzard #blizzardgames #blizzardoverwatch #junkrat #overwatchjunkrat #overwatchlore https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qDp2Zod-q/?igshid=1nsbsr3kkkfzw

Viking Torbjorn’s shield bears a protective sigil

Vegvisir, an Icelandic protective sigil that ensures its bearer always finds their way even through a storm.

The oldest trace of Vegvisir we have is the Huld Manuscript, written in 1860, likely based on older copies of older manuscripts. We don’t know for sure that “vikings” were familiar with that sigil but we can safely assume so.

Vegvisir is a variation of another more famous sigil :  Ægishjálmr aka the Helm of Awe. 

Where Vegvisir helps people stay on course and reach their destination safely no matter the circumstances, Ægishjálmur strikes fear in the heart of their enemies and give them the strength to overcome anything in battle.

Apparently, Torbjörn is more worried about getting lost than about triumph in battle. Can one assume the Blizzard devs picked Vegvisir over Ægishjálmur to hint at Torbjörn’s internal struggle and fear of losing control in a storm (which he’s already done, in a way, when the omnics he helped create turned on humans)? Does Torbjörn need a compass to guide him through hard times?

I don’t know about canon Torbjörn, but Viking Torbjörn sure seems superstitious (like most “vikings”).

Maybe they just picked Vegvisir because it looked more unique and badass whereas Ægishjálmur looked cool but kinda generic?

Either way, I love this kind of attention to detail. Blizzard goes above and beyond when it comes to lil details like this one that make the worlds they build pop. It keeps people like me busy and amazed :3

EDIT : credit to reddit user u/jsnen for suggesting this could be a reference to Blizzard’s game The Lost Vikings. It absolutely is !!

The plot of that game is that 3 vikings get abducted by an alien race to be put in a zoo, they manage to escape but then get lost in time, they need to find their way home.

So, yeah, Vegvisir would come in handy if Viking Torbjörn was ever to get abducted :D

Noticing things that others (including myself) have missed, it’s truly amazing, I LIVE FOR THIS !

If you’re open minded and if you enjoy wasting time hunting for the many obscure things the devs have put in the world of Overwatch, I have an all new discord server :D

On the new Ratsaver skin (King Jamieson), a patch with the inscription "CSHMNY" can be found. Karahe, the owner of the discord server for lore ObscureWatch, believes that this patch denotes the phrase Cash Money.
