 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. New in this DLC: quote:Added in Forgotten Stories 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?

Welp, didn't know this existed. Gonna have to download it even though I have a trillion other things to play. Nehrim is my favorite *Elder Scrolls* and this looks even more interesting.

Nice I forgotten Enderal actually came out. I sunk a good 20 hours into Nehrim but didn't finish it because I couldn't stand Oblivion's combat and at least Skyrim's somewhat tolerable.

Do you need a clean install of Skyrim for this to work or what?

I should really give Enderal another shot. I started playing it and it seemed impressive but I think I quit around the time I got to what I believe was the second major city in the game. The city was absolutely massive with multiple districts and a big underground section and it felt kind of overwhelming and turned me off.

I think it ended up being easier when I bought a house and learned where everything was from there instead of from the city entrance. It's near some shops and such.

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

This game is great and you can't argue with the price. Are there any up to date class guides? I played this a few years ago, you could dual class into hidden classes. Have this changed with the new classes?

I've downloaded and started playing this over the last week or so and am really impressed with it. It actually amazes me that Bethesda allowed them to put it out as a standalone thing because it shows them up big style by being better than Skyrim in almost every way so far. Initially, I was placing my memory points into the rogue trees, roughly across trickster and infiltration and a few vagabond. Now I have realised that I should have perhaps focused on magic as it seems much more interesting. 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? There have been some great moments so far entering the under city beneath Ark. Rivals the entrance to BlackReach in Skyrim imo my exploration around Ark leading me to find Yeros tower and secret base with a weird alchemy table in it. Finding an absolutely sick Aztec looking dagger with about 5x the damage of my iron dagger. Reminded me a lot of stumbling on that sword in Balmora in Morrowind.

mitochondritom posted:Is there a way to retrain?! 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.

They unlock a secret, newly-added third ending to the game. And yes, Enderal does show up Skyrim quite neatly, I think. My only gripe with it is that the intro takes a while to properly get started and is quite railroady- apart from that though, it's not worth touching Skyrim after Enderal.

CommissarMega posted:Did you read all the notes there? They unlock a secret, newly-added third ending to the game. Yes I read the notes. I won't read your spoiler to preserve my spoiler free game state. But I am sort of trying to piece together how the world works. After speaking to the Nehrimese mage in the Sun Temple I understand that magic in this game works by the Wizards seeing all possible realities and sort of bringing part of another reality into the one we are in. From reading those notes I guess Yero was planning to bring a reality where his girlfriend didn't die into this one? or something like that. 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.

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.

Having played the former version, I recall the story annoying me. Parts of it work really well, but there's others that made me roll my eyes, like the writing just took a turn for the worse at the drop of a hat. It probably doesn't help that some of the translated lines come off a bit weird either. The mentioned possible third ending might rectify some of the issues I had, but I am not so sure.

Is shards of order a different game? I downloaded forgotten stories, should I be playing something else first? Also, I'm playing stealth/archer...yet I keep getting owned by magic. Is magic just super powerful? Should I be doing something differently?

UltraRed posted:Is shards of order a different game? I downloaded forgotten stories, should I be playing something else first? It's the same game, Forgotten Stories is the DLC name, and it's fully integrated into the single campaign. Enemy mages are massive bastards, I found paralyze poisoned arrows and other disablers to be helpful. If they're not blocking a quest objective, not fighting them is a pro-tier choice as well.

Now I have realised that I should have perhaps focused on magic as it seems much more interesting. Is there a way to retrain?! There is a specific respec add-on mod for Enderal in the workshop. I downloaded it after being pissed off about a bug, but figured out a work-around so haven't actually tested it. (The bug was that the special finishing moves that change the camera gently caress up when you're (a) firing an arrow and (b) significantly higher or lower than what you're shooting. The arrow just drills into the ground or up into the sky and you actually miss your "critical hit". Solution: Just turn off the critical hit cam in the settings. I was told this was a bug in the original Skyrim, but I don't remember it happening?) I actually started the Phantasmilist tree later in the game, so I just checked this page to see if there were any souls in places I had already been, and then went back and grabbed them if so (and basically just ignored places that weren't familiar). (Spoilers, obvs.) UltraRed posted:Also, I'm playing stealth/archer...yet I keep getting owned by magic. Is magic just super powerful? Should I be doing something differently? Don't be afraid to turn the difficulty down at the very beginning--you're squishy as hell and mages and wolves suck rear end. I struggled a bit for my first couple of levels, turned it down, had a much better time, and then turned it back up around the time I hit level 10 or so and things were getting too easy, and then turned it up again now that I'm a harbinger of death. Deathclaws are about the only things that make me hesitate much at this point. And that drat black myrad.  Yeah, the dialogue is a little cringy at times, there are occasional bugs and rough spots, and it CTDs pretty reliably for me every 2-3 hours, but bottom line: This game is really loving good and if you enjoyed Skyrim at all you should play it. 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.

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.

Just in case anyone's still playing this, I picked it back up after the latest update and the quest bug I was stuck on has been fixed. I finished it up tonight and was overall super impressed. There was one long dialogue/explanation/exposition toward the end that was entirely too loving long and got really tiresome, but the ending itself was satisfying (apparently I got one that was relatively uncommon?). If you like Elder Scrolls games, this is a must-play.

Yeah, tell me about it. Can't really blame the devs though, Dave Fennoy is a hell of a catch; I suppose they booked him on a slow day and they wanted to maximize their investment. Which ending did you get, by the way? I drank the oblivion potion right after I fired an arrow at one of the crystals. I also want to post this

Are we sure you don't need Elder Scrolls installed, because when I tried to run this game it gave a message "Elder Scrolls Skyrim failed to start," which it wouldn't on account I haven't got it installed right now. edit: Weird, it works now. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Dec 21, 2019 |

But...she came back for me, and rescued me from the rubble and now we're both going to be happy together while we try to spread the truth to the (non-destroyed portion of the) world. Unless she or I or both of us are insane/hallucinating, which the game raises as a possibility.
