 What's this thing? Enderal: The Shards of Order is a free total conversion mod for Skyrim and the sequel to the Oblivion total conversion mod Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, developed by the German mod team SureAI. Released in German last month, Enderal has just come out in English today! Total Conversion? What's that mean? Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Enderal uses Skyrim's engine to essentially create a completely new game, with its own world, characters, items, spells, and game systems. Though the game has an obvious Skyrim feel due to the engine, Enderal is completely disconnected from Skyrim, Tamriel, and the Elder Scrolls continuity. All you need to play is a legal PC copy of Skyrim. So why would I want to play this thing? Here's a few reasons:
     FAQ So how do I actually install Enderal? You can download Enderal's installer from the Enderal website. Note that the installer comes in two parts: a launcher and an "installation package", which contains the actual game data. The installation package is about 8GB and the launcher will ask for it during the installation process. The launcher will also back up your Skyrim directory for you during installation. So my 10,000 Skyrim mods will work perfectly with this game, right? Almost certainly not! Enderal uses its own .esm file, which means Skyrim mods won't play nicely with it (and the installer will beat you over the head about this). It's best to install Enderal on a clean install of Skyrim. Enderal also comes with its own version of SkyUI out of the box, so you don't have to worry about using Skyrim's lovely consolized interface. UPDATE: Several people in the thread have confirmed that minor Skyrim mods for things such as the UI or quality-of-life improvements will work just fine with Enderal. That said, you should still add your mods after Enderal is installed, rather than trying to install Enderal on top of your modded Skyrim directory. I've never played Nehrim. Is this game going to make any sense? You should be fine. Enderal takes place in the same world as Nehrim, but the intro cinematic will tell you the important bits of Nehrim's plot. Where do I go for the quest "Secrets from a Can"? Step 1: The kid is a liar, the shrine isn't behind his house. It's a small glowing structure next to the beach. Step 2: If you look to the west from the shrine you can see a giant dead tree up on a hill. Go there, and near the tree are some ruined-looking stairs that will lead you to the spot. I'm stuck on <other quest>, help! Ask in the thread! I'll be sure to add common places to get stuck here as people come across them. Where the gently caress is the last piece of <armor set>? I've looked everywhere! Reddit has put together a loot listing if you're looking for a particular item. Spoilers abound, obviously.

 Been looking forward to this after beating Nehrim last week. Morrowind and Gothic are obvious inspirations, but I feel like Nehrim got a little Final Fantasy near the end. More final boss battles with giant swords and personifications of abstract concepts like fate please! Hopefully Enderal is similarly ambitious. Does anyone know if this will work with Mod Organizer? Seems like Enderal's installer will do everything, but I still would feel better keeping my main data files "clean."

I'm sort of considering playing this mod even though I've never actually touched regular Skyrim.

If I got Skyrim on Steam, what would be involved in making a clean game? Just move all my files/saves to a backup and delete local content, then redownload?

Geez, I've been f5'ing for this for almost a month and on the one day I forget to check for it... I always thought the best way to describe the predecessor, Nehrim, is a Oblivion mod made by people who really really liked Gothic 2. I hope this one is more of the same.

You said this was a 'sequel' to Nehrim- is that just in the sense that it's another TC from Nehrim's makers, or should I play Nehrim to understand the story of this one? Because I can't find my Morrowind CD (CDs? I can't even remember, it was so long), and it seems like a bit too much of a time investment.

You can just play this one.

Nehrim 2? Hell yeah I'm down with that. Nehrim was the only good thing about the debacle that was Oblivion.

You know, I could really use a crisp piece of meat. A crisp piece of meat. A crisp piece of meat. (The voice acting is pretty comically bland at best until you get to the first follower, who actually puts in a decent performance.)

The intro tried really, really hard. I am in the normal world now and enjoying things somewhat although every time I try to a city or village it turns out it's full of angry people or skeletons or wolves. I am not very strong because I have only gotten like two levels so the constant wolves are wearing me down.

I just got a loading screen message that told me by the end of the game you can max out, at best, three skill trees. Fair enough. But then it said that maxing two "complimentary" skill trees would unlock some sort of powerful skill, but did not explain what that actually loving means. Does it mean two from the same stone? Because that'd be dumb. I'm also mildly annoyed that lockpicking seems locked in with archery skills for no good reason.

So, this seems interesting, but I have a Steam copy of Skyrim. Is there anything special I need to do to make a clean copy, if I can, without it or Steam getting upset?

Everyone has a steam copy of Skyrim. The first thing the installer does is make a backup of your Skyrim files. Also this game is hard. I spend a lot of time running from fights.

How much more tightly-scripted is this than the usual Bethesda game? I like Skyrim, but I kinda want some direction with my games now.

I've heard it as a more linear, tightly written game. Also, do we know if we can use german voices with the English version yet? I'd like to have the german audio but everything else English, if possible.

Does pickpocketing work? I've only run into like three dudes who weren't actively trying to kill me and all three were plot. Ducking at them just made my cursor suggest that I could Taschendiebstahl them, but it just talked to them instead of giving me access to their pockets.

Huh, heres something mildly interesting, when you complete the quest 'secrets from the can' you get the sword 'Cold Night' which seems to be a very rough and unfinished two-hander. but thinking about the name, it could also be made of Cold Iron.

Fun Fact: The fire arrow skill in the archery tree is incredibly OP. Who needs mana, or ammo, or the ability to aim? I have unlimited exploding arrows that do massive damage!

So how exactly do I spend these level up points the game is handing to me? I know the skill and craft points are meant to be spent via books, but how do I spend memory points? The description seems a little vague.
