In the quests of Norse the player wakes up in the room of an inn in a small village called Bracka. He suffers from amnesia and has no memory of who he is or how he got there. The quests has him he help the dwarven brothers Brokkr and Eitri to gather materials for the forging of several mythological items that are to be given to the Norse gods.

Norse is a quest mod created for my first thesis project at university. "The purpose was to gain a deeper understanding of how a level designer can affect the player through the choice and placement of models, textures, lighting, weather effects, and environment topology."

The decision fell on creating a small island from scratch. The focus was to create an atmospheric environment with the feel of a Scandinavian forest, and a largely natural flora and fauna to support the Norse setting – the elements of the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that was used supports this rather well

My role in this project was to build the enivornment and create the level design, sculpt the terrain and place objects and encounters in it, plan and build locations in where to find the ingredients and so on. I conducted playtesting and made an iteration of the work to improve the environment.

My team mate David Partorp wrote the story, dialogue, made the quests, research etc. David also took care of the interiors of the village houses.

The module was built using The Elder Scrolls Construction Set and only the original assets of the game was used by me to build the environments and place encounters. David used the following material created by modders to populate the game world:

• Corean Mod v.1.8 by idkrrr at Nexusmods
• Dwarf race v.2.0.1 by Peanutkiller at Nexusmods
  

• Female Eyecandy Body Replacer NUDE by Exnem at Nexusmods
  

• Female EyeCandy Wardrobe v.0.1 by Exnem at Nexusmods
  

• Nec Character Sonnet_Mature v.1.0 by Nec at Nexusmods
  

• TESIV Gecko Plugin Utility by Team Gecko at Nexusmods
  

A huge thank you to Johan Aronsson for the Norse logo!
