Ragnarok

So upon deciding on the narrative that the game would take place within I have decided to base it on the beginning of Ragnarok within Norse mythology. Ragnarok is the predicted end of days between the gods and the frost giants, the Norse gods are told to loose this battle, creatures rise on the earth and everything is predicted to come to an end.

I decided that the main character would be of viking origin, the people in the world know whats happening and some have already given up hope. A grim tone would be present throughout the game (think somewhat Dark Souls). The main character would set out on a journey to help fight back the frost giants and through the game meet complex characters and travel through a torn world.
