Love it so far. Nice change of scenery. Could use less unskippable cuutscenes though. Mainly for when i die and have to watch the same one again and again. I know the short answer is to not die, but thats a work in progress. Great job other than that.

One of the greatest RPGs ever made...I think the quest design & writing is among the best I've ever experienced. The most insane part of the game is, that it's free and made purely by volunteers for the love of the game. Definitly check it out, although I can recommend to get the Skyrim special edition for the technical improvements

Enderal is the textbook definition of a flawed masterpiece, it’s technical achievements and ambitions in terms of storytelling, music, ambience and overall brilliance are only held back by the immersion breaking problems that the Skyrim engine imposes on them. I came across Enderal by complete accident, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was such a disappointing experience that I dropped it in the early hours of my gameplay and was craving for a good medieval experience. Enderal showed up in my research and it ran on my original Steam version of Skyrim. I went in expecting a MOD that offered a small world focused on the main quest with a couple of the with the usual highlight quests that Elder Scrolls offers like Dark Brotherhood and Arena, the game however slowly unveiled itself to be a massive continent with its own lore, mechanics and more than one hundred hours of gameplay. Enderal’s highest point is the story, it is described on its Steam page as a unique world with believable characters, to me, that sounded like the usual uninspired crap that developers say about the latest 70 dollar game they are trying to shove down your throat, such a generic phrase does the game a disservice, every character is relatable, each of their motivations and actions are grounded, logical and morally ambiguous, the dialogue and themes of the game are truly mature, modern and well-crafted and I found very few if any rhetorical contradictions in the character’s arguments. The story follows the chosen-one/gifted one archetype, you quickly get to learn your powers, importance and who the main villain is, in a situation like this, many writers are not able to raise the stakes but here the story gets more and more tense, the emotional luggage you carry gets heavier and heavier, you get to know the characters better and you want to know them better. The only problem with the story of Enderal is that early on you also understand that, It's just The Matrix but medieval fantasy, there are so many parallels it’s hard not to think of it. The XP system is different from Skyrim and Oblivion, actions don’t make you better at said action but rather defeating an enemy gives you flat XP and every level gives various skill points, if you want to level your Two-handed, Block etc… you need to use your gold to buy skill books from vendors. I liked it and it’s hard to be overpowered because your ability to increase your skills are gated by your gold and learning points. The music is amazing, not much to say, all the songs are perfectly suited for where they are used and memorable, even more impressive the fact there are original vocal/bard songs in the game. The worst part of the game, as said before, is the fact it is built upon the Skyrim engine, there were moments where I could predict the AI/NPC behaviour, where there was a chance of emersion breaking mechanics, I remember attending a funeral and thinking: I bet some random NPC will pass by saying something stupid. Here comes a town soldier, looks me dead in the eye and says: GREETINGS!!! This happened more times than I would like, some scenes get spoiled due to the awkwardness of the engine, this is something the player needs to accept. Outside the engine itself, Enderal is absolutely amazing, it is massive, well-written, believable and free. It stands on its own legs and merits outside the Elder Scrolls franchise despite sharing assets and engine. You will probably never see a story so deep, captivating, philosophical and bleak in TES. PS: Did you know CD Projekt Red gave the devs permission to use their assets in this game?

What a hidden gem! I rarely write reviews in Steam, but Enderal: Forgotten Stories has definitely earned one. It's incredible that Enderal is a free mod for Skyrim, when it's actually a whole rpg game with its own world building and lore. The characters and story are very well-written. Compared to Skyrim, I would say that the main story is deeper and darker. Sometimes I got chills and sometimes felt so sad that I had to take a moment before I continued. I really cared of many characters and their fate, which tells me that the story really captivated me. I didn't watch the trailer because I didn't want to know almost anything about the story. I'm happy that I didn't, because imo the less you know about the story and characters ahead, the better. If I have to give some criticism, I'd say that I wasn't a fan of the skill system, which was different than in ES. Instead of getting better at something by using those skills, a player has to find or purchase learning and crafting skill books. Imo it feels more natural that the skills progress based on their usage, but well, this was a very minor issue. Another thing was the crashing. As the game's ending was getting closer and closer, Enderal crashed more frequently than earlier. I'm not sure if the Special Edition version of Enderal is more stable. I definitely recommend trying it out if you own Skyrim Special Edition. I noticed the version option too late (silly me) when I had already played Enderal for a while and I didn't want to start over. If I ever feel like replaying Enderal, I'll definitely try the SE. You know a game is great when you feel a bit empty when the end credits start to roll on the screen. Enderal definitely made me feel that. The dark story really sucked me in and my heart ached for so many scenes and characters. Enderal also evoked the feeling of adventure like Elder Scrolls games have done, and I really enjoyed exploring the world. I warmly recommend Enderal for anyone who likes well-written fantasy rpg. Well done SureAI!

I like it but I would say just don't expect Skyrim mechanics. I has it own mechanics.

Ich wundere mich noch immer das dieses Herzensprojekt absolut kostenlos ist. Ederal zeigt was mit skyrim Engin möglich ist. Das storytelling ist ein ganz anderes wie in skyrim.Enderal ist düster mit einer komplexen Lore dahinter die ich noch nicht ganz überblicke da ich noch nicht durch bin.Aber bislang bin ich absolut begeistert.

Großartiges High Fantasy. Bessere Storyline und bessere Welt als bei Skyrim. No Hate, Skyrim ist trotzdem immer noch hervorragend, nur dass Enderal mich fast ein stück mehr abholt. Perfekte Mischung zwischen Oblivion und Skyrim.

This is a great game! It's very much like an old book that has been re-written but with familiar enough of a story to give a fresh experience that feels like an old familiar friend!
