The tone is slightly grittier than Skyrim-this is a fantasy RPG where having special magical powers means also having a fever that might kill you, most of the potions you find have turned rancid, and the roads are lined with crucified skeletons. I've done the textbook journey from a small village to a big city, solved a mystery with the convenient visions I've begun having, and earned a riding donkey named Whirlwind whose legs kick out with adorable clumsiness at high speed.

Sure, no one can agree how to pronounce the name of the goaty local monsters the Vatyr, but it feels churlish to pick at individual flaws when the overall standard is so high.

Nehrim was entirely voiced in German with only English subtitles, so a fully voiced English localization is a huge additional task they've taken on. I've met a man in a bar who spoke German, and some of the signs and posters around Ark are untranslated as well. I'm playing a pre-release build of Enderal's translation so not everything is perfect. My mercenary companion has an easygoing cynicism that's charming, the swearing sorceress reacts to each disaster with honest fury, even a passing art gallery owner sounded so genuinely defeated by the disinterest of her cityfolk I was happy to take on a job for her. Though there's a fair bit of tutorial to push past, now I'm eager for each twist of its tale and invested enough to be worried about the fates of its characters. Not every bit of dialogue or plotting in Enderal is perfect, but so far it's better than anything I've heard in other mods.

We criticize Skyrim for re-using voices and only having a few memorable characters, but other mods have made me appreciate how hard it is to get that stuff right. Other mods that add new characters and quests, like Falskaar and Descent Into Madness, have been a fun way to see strange new places, but their writing and voice-acting remind you they're fan-made works. That's OK since it's not like it was a very original plot even when Mass Effect told it, and telling a story well matters more to me than originality. The Precursors are called Pyreans and the Reapers are High Ones, but it's familiar stuff so far. An apocalypse that came to previous civilizations is returning for yours, but through researching how they failed to prevent it you might be able to succeed. If you saw Enderal's trailer you probably noticed the main quest's plot has a lot in common with Mass Effect. I get knocked unconscious and wake up in different locations so often it's disorienting, but I guess travelling to a new country should be.

The journey from here to Riverville, your typical fantasy starter village, is a tutorial that introduces new characters who then introduce new concepts and quickly clear the deck to make way for the next batch. Things turn dark after this idyllic start because of course they do, but it's an immediate reminder of Nehrim at its best, making you feel like the world and your character existed before you clicked Start New Game.Īfter that I'm a grown-up on a ship to the theocracy of Enderal, choosing my face and race from a selection of half-breeds that will mark me as an outlander for the rest of the game, though none are as exotic as the cats and lizards you can choose in most Elder Scrolls games. I take the first of many screenshots immediately. The sun is shining, birds are wheeling in the bright sky. I'm a kid on a farm and my first quest is “take a message to Daddy”.

Since then they’ve been working on Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim, and it begins with something similar. Nehrim was German mod team SureAI's total conversion for Oblivion, released in 2010.
