📋 About This Mod
Description
Let your immersion begin as soon as you press play. This mod trades out the Loading and Spawn screens for more immersive ones by using the game's concept art. It also changes the game's default tips and loading text out with over 40 different facts from Norse mythology and actual Viking historical quotes, as well as game lore from the Valheim Wiki to create an immersive and educational experience.
All facts were carefully chosen to give the player some background knowledge about Norse mythology and how it transitions into the game's unique lore. Some Easter eggs were also laced into the facts to help encourage a particular fan theory as well as one of my own...
Viking Quotes are all historically cited, though their true accuracy is beyond my knowledge.
Only high quality images have been used in this mod.
An alternative version using high quality and immersive screenshots has now been added to the files section.
Future Changes:
-
[]More variety of images will be added as more concept/fan art is released. If anyone would like to have their art added to this mod, please let me know in the comments.

]I have already created a list of randomized options for the the "Loading..." text, but am working on a way to randomize them.Requirements
