I think the other Enderal thread got archived so I thought I would make a new one since it just got a new DLC and steam release.

Description from steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/933480/Enderal_Forgotten_Stories/

quote:

Enderal: Forgotten Stories is a total conversion for TES V: Skyrim: a game modification that is set in its own world with its own landscape, lore and story. It offers an immersive open world, all for the player to explore, overhauled skill systems and gameplay mechanics and a dark, psychological storyline with believable characters.

Enderal is free and can be played by anyone owning a legal copy of TES V: Skyrim. (No DLCs are necessary.) It is developed non-commercially by SureAI, the team behind the renowned Oblivion mod "Nehrim: At Fate´s Edge" (and various other projects).
I played through Enderal when it first came out and thought it was really good. This DLC adds back a bunch of things they had to cut in order to get their initial release out the door.

New in this DLC:

quote:

Added in Forgotten Stories

Two "crafting classes" that utilize alchemy and enchanting for combat – use potions to shapeshift into a werewolf as the Lycantrope, use enchanting to craft spirit companions as the Phasmalist.
Improved performance and stability for a smooth experience.
Twelve new sidequests and two non-linear guild questlines: Work your way up the Golden Sickle, Enderal's merchant's guild and infiltrate the ranks of the Rhalâta, the enigmatic cult ruling the Undercity.
Reworked and improved crafting, spells, and much more.

This is a pretty barebones OP, I mainly just wanted a place to talk about this. I have it downloading now. All you need is a copy of oldrim https://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/The_Elder_Scrolls_V_Skyrim/ on your steam account, you don't need to install it. Enderal is standalone now. The devs say you need to start a new game.

Wait, it's finally out? YESSSSSSS! I've been waiting to start a new game of this!

Just one question, do console commands still work? :shobon:

I just tested for you. Yep, they work.

How does modding Enderal work? Do skyrim mods still work as when Enderal was a conversion, or is there some new process for the new version.

Iockpick mod ftw

It looks like they are working on an update for mod organizer 2. https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/releases

quote:

Warning: Until Enderal team releases an update the game will be unable to read the MO2 plugins.txt, instead reading the one in Appdata/Local/enderal due to an incompatibility with USVFS and SkyrimRedirector.dll. They are on it.

Is there a way to retrain?!

After wandering about the Sun Coast, I booked it to Ark, basically leaving the big castle on the coast unexplored. I could go back, but does the game have scaling ala Skyrim where you can just do anything at any level? Have I missed out on much by beelining the capitol? Is there any brilliant area that I have missed or should make it my mission to head to?


I don't think you can retrain without a mod or using the console. You can for sure do it with the console.

This game doesn't have scaling so you kind of want to work your way through the places that are appropriate for your level. If you skip too much stuff you are going to have a harder time later on. Quests show how difficult they are with stars * is low level and *** is high level.

I thought the opening was OK, I can see a lot of people being put off by the dream sequence with Daddy. It was very odd and I didn't really like it. After that the stuff with the boat and cave, culminating with meeting Jespar was pretty good, if railroaded.

I love the game overall but I think the first three hours are the weakest. You are stuck on rails for ages and then the second you get into the open world you get beat to poo poo and have no safe area to establish yourself. I think I just ran to the first town and worked backwards from there.

So how are you supposed to find souls anyway? There doesn't seem to be any real-world indication when there's one around, and just using net of souls every ten seconds as you explore doesn't seem like a fun time.

Edit @ the OP: You might want to put "Skyrim" in the thread title somewhere so people who have no idea what Enderal is but love Skyrim actually pay any attention to the thread whatsoever. :)

That is a good idea, I have to ask a games mod to do that right?

I'm assuming you did that? Or maybe a mod took pity on you? :)

I'm almost at the end of the game, but I'm stuck on a quest ("Fleshless") due to a recent scripting change the broke poo poo. Supposedly it will be fixed in the next patch, but apparently there's only one dude currently bugfixing and he's kinda buried in RL stuff, so couldn't really give me an ETA.

This is after the "starting this quest will complete the game, are you sure you want to do that?" warning, so if you get there, I'd suggest just loving around and doing more quests for a while until the patch hits.

Yeah, I did. I am not near that part yet but it's good to know. I am really taking my time with this playthrough.
