[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7825595, member: 7015476"] In the vast majority of cases the berserkers actually had 100% comprehension that what they were doing was taking performance enhancing drugs actually. The ones who thought it was magical were actually the outliers. The norse are one of those cultures that basically always seemed less advamced than they were when in fact they were typically more advamced than most. Its a thing. Sorta how the druids of the celts had aside from alchemic philosophy some actual ahead of their time chemical knowledge. Basically the norse are one of those groups that buck the general trend of medicinal advamcement as far as most cultures in a given time go. They would engage in religious rituals too but usually just because it would help psych them into the right mind set and also made them appear more fearsome to others. In game you can take this or leave it. But the vast majority of the time the scandinavian berserkera actually knew exactly what they were doing. [/QUOTE]
