Project Edda is a Total Conversion which amis to create a World in the nothern Regions of Europe around the Year 1000, when pagan beliefs where forced to christianity. Our Mod tells the Story of a boy who is born and grows up in this conflict. You live in a open World with free gameplay, similar to the Gothic Series (1-3), rough Environments, inhabitants and no, the style is realistic, we don't aim for glorification or stereotypes of these Times. Cryengine 3 should give us the best possibilitys to both create a huge open world, while having a very high grafics quality.

He doesn't look like a Nordic playa. He's more Indian.
Thanks for the feedback Rymdreg, yes he might have some odd atributes to be from the north. Originaly the idea was that this would be a Monk from a southern country where christianity is already a fundamental part of society at this time. As a sympatising party to the christian movement he plays a role of his own in the Story. The nose is supposed to be a characteristic atribute that imediately differs him from native population. During the process of creating this character we reduced the size as it was too cartoony which our game is not intended to be.
