I don't know if anyone would be interested in this but I think Norse mythology related quests for the Nord race would be interesting. I can not mod, but I do have some what of an idea for one of the quests. In one of the quests you have to help Thor and go to J?tunheimr to get Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer) and bring it back to him and before you bring his hammer back you can use it and it is very powerful. After you give him Mjolnir back, he reward you by giving you a sword that can do a similar amount of damage, but has some fire effect that it casts on enemies and Mjolnir when you get to use it has a shock effect. This is just a rough idea. Also maybe you get some very good armor from Thor after you help him, since that'll give you more incentive to not just keep the hammer lol.

Maybe *inspired by* Norse mythology, but nothing directly referencing it. No Loki, no Thor, etc, unless it's a complete overhaul replacing the core Skyrim game with a new one.

I think regular quest could work as well, but an complete conversion would be good too. Sadly it seems no one is interested in this most of the people on here probably no nothing about or have no interest in Norse Mythology. So sad, so sad indeed.

I love norse mythology but having a quest about Thor's hammer in this game as it is doesn't fit in. I would love to see a full conversion though, especially around the story of the nibelung treasure, but you will need more than a couple of people interested to make a full conversion come true.

My interest is Euhemeristic versions of classical myths, the history behind the myth if you see what I mean. Mesogea has a strong norse element, but wont directly relate to Norse mythology, though if you think of Lord of the Rings, Tolkien based much of his world on Nordic myths such as the Kalevalla and Icelandic Saga.

Mesogea is an earth based total conversion and there are civilisations in Mesogea that will be much more suited to Nordic mythology than Skyrim. Euhemerus was a Greek mythographer who considered that myths originated from the deeds of real people, so that Loki, Thor etc would be the mythological memory amongst mankind of real deeds and real people who lived long before. For instance Achilles, Ajax, Hector etc in the Illiad from a Euhemeristic point of view would have been real men (though the names would likely be different) whose deeds were remembered in spoken tales that over many centuries changed in the telling etc.

If you have seen the 13th Warrior then you will have an idea of Euhemeristic mythography. The film is based upon the legend of Beowulf, but of course there were no dragons and no Grendel in Scandinavia. However the story gave a twist on the tale, explaining how the myth could have emerged from real deeds. Mesogea goes millenia before Norse mythology as we know it, but if you want to get involved in quests and characters, lands etc that could have been the influence for the Norse gods and legends then you might enjoy Mesogea. As I said, its earth based and encompasses the Mediterranean basin and up to Germany and the Baltic, though the landmass is different, set before the North sea emerged etc.

Take a look at Mesogea and see if it contains anything that interests you as we dont really have anyone to work on the northern reaches of Mesogea, the ancient earth Germanic and southern Baltic lands.

That is perhaps one of the most idiotic things I have read today. You assume because people do not want to mix real-life mythology with an already massive in-game mythology that they have no knowledge of Norse mythology? Did you stop to consider that some people just prefer to have crazy things like IMMERSION and possibly...just possibly mind you.... have different tastes than you?

Stop playing with your mjolnir long enough to consider that just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they have no knowledge of the things you do.

Whoa whoa whoa there little buddy. Did I call anyone stupid or insult anyone? No, I meant more so many gamers in general don't really care about such things as mythology. I meant it is said in a way, that people who play such game a lot of them won't appreciate games like this as much because they have limited knowledge of mythology. No need to go all bent out of shape.

Come and have a look over at Mesogea, the whole thing is mythology based.
