This is a scientific experiment I'm conducting as a part of my master thesis that I 'm currently writing at Aalborg University Copenhagen (AAUC). It involves a custom level you will play in and a custom character you will play as in the experiment.
I cannot tell you much about the experiment before the test since that would compromise the data. But I can tell you the story in the test: You are a man that have been sentenced to death and therefore thrown down into a cave. Here you are to die a horrible death by starvation. This is however not the way you see it. You will find a way out and avenge your wife who was killed by the very same people that put you in this place. It is now your quest to survive, find a way out of there and avenge your loved ones. The test level takes from 2-10 min depending on you.
To be able to participate in this experiment you should be able to run the game at the highest graphical setting. Not any ini file tweaks just the normal high setting that comes with the game.
If you have any other MODs installed that effect graphical settings these should be turn off while testing.
You may NOT change the POV of the character!
The main character might look weird, but do not be alarmed it is part of the test.
You now have to choose one of the save games that will load you into the cave and start the experiment. You place the chosen save file in your Skyrim save folder (C:\Users\”yourname”\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves). It is important that you only use one of the save files since it will make you biased if you try both.
