Valheim does not have many role-playing elements. However, an intricately designed mod is set to change that.
Valheim lets you make your own story and freely explore the map to find new resources, biomes, and enemies. There's no overarching mission or big story, but fans are about to change that.
Crafting Your Own Adventure: Valheim's Fan-Made RPG
YouTubers Ninebyte and Dhakhar have teamed up for a particularly ambitious mod project, creating a complete roleplaying game in Valheim. After a year of planning and over 1,000 hours of work, the two content creators' RPG is now playable.
Take a look at the RPG map:
The modders RPG map consists of a well crafted world with 35 different locations to explore, including 5 big cities. Within these cities, adventurers will encounter a wide variety of non-player characters offering quests and trading opportunities. Quest progress is seamlessly integrated into the compendium, ensuring that no story goes untold.
As you cross the roads and bridges between the interconnected cities, you will discover a narrative tapestry that weaves them together. You can choose from twelve different classes, for example the arcane mastery of a mage, the primal fury of a berserker, the spiritual guidance of a shaman, or the nimble cunning of a thief.Engage in epic battles against fearsome bosses, each a modified version of the base game with unique challenges to overcome. And collect resources essential to survival, including food, armor, and weapons, which can be found scattered throughout the landscape or earned as rewards for completing quests.While the world offers an abundance of treasures and survival tools, you can even choose to craft your own gear to add a personal touch to your journey. Enter unique dungeons, avoid cunning traps, and uncover the many secrets hidden within this vast realm.

The first is an MMO version for up to 100 players, which requires its own server and some mods, and this one is not accessible to everyone.The second version can be downloaded for free from Ninebyte and Dhakhars Discord channels. An installation guide can also be found there. This version can be played with up to ten players and does not require any mods. This allows Xbox players to join a game on this map as well.
