In Game 1, Loki was allowed to choose which side he wanted to be on, Town or Jotun (I choose Jotun).
I'm not sure that this choice existed in Game 2, I know glyphz played it protown. Whether that was a choice or a given role, you know better than me.
I think Sigurd is drawing more on Midgard 2 this "classic" style game, and I believe that mainly because the holmgang scores are game 2 style rather than game 1 where humans had a chance to defeat gods. But then again, the Heimdall looking for Loki hails from game 1, did this also exist in game 2?
