why is this comment pinned, and what?

Bethesda: We made skyrim Sure AI: we made this using skyrim Bethesda:" low grumbling" Fuckin show offs

Enderal? Ignored? Just take a look at Nehrim or any of Sureai's other Mods if you think people ignore Enderal XD

@@jaydenlobbe7911 Acutally, I love Nehrim a bit more than Enderal. But not bc I think Enderal is worse, but for nostalgic reasons.

@@angriboi o7

You mean that this Skyrim mod is actuallu just another version of Gothic?

I wish us Germans would take our games industry more seriously. We could make some really dark/grim games.

@@kaiserkiefer1760 We used to make internationaly acclaimed games, Crysis is the most famous example, CryEngine being used by alot of games too, Gothic is kinda obscure but starts to be circulated more recently. Nobody really knows the Settlers series. Anno is another one, altho it started out being made by Austrians. Alot of german games had an emphasis on deep mechanics, realism, or just doing one thing really well/being a technological archievement. Now german games companies are known for making weird simulator games...even if alot of those weird simulators aren't even made by germans XD But yes, I wish german games developers would gain some more prominence and make some more good products.

@@Chrinik Don't know about that one, Settlers and Anno games aren't as obscure and I know I've read plenty about them in local game magazines.

I assume it's some industry mandate

I just started my first enderal playthrough and I can conpletely relate to this. I have stolen so much goods to be able to afforf those learning books

And those "broke college student" immersive textbook-selling sims are just knock-offs of the video game trade-in tycoons.

A college that requires you to rob banks to afford the textbooks sounds gangster as fuck tho

@ashy Saints Row has been bangin since the first game, lol

@@Potleafeon Irl textbook companies are shady af

It's great, they should port it to SSE though, 32 bit skyrim is still a buggy mess.

@@Angstadillio if you can afford to pay a team a few months of work

Their oblivion mod Nehrim: At Fate's Edge is also going to get a steam launcher sometime this month. Voice acting will probably still be exclusively german but text will be english and it's great regardless so keep an eye on it anyway

And a little workshop

Nehrim is already available in their website though if you want to do some hardwork ..

I feel your comment so much ;_;

You might also enjoy the audio book "Dreams of the Dying", a Jespar prequel :). You can find it on the official SureAI RU-vid page :)

Ryneus... :(

Tharaêl ;-;

Fr, tmit emotionally like killed me especially the part about the little boy dying alone, I just froze for 5 mins, got off, and sat in silence until 2 days later I got back on.

I never thought about that but it makes so much sense, thank you

for anyone wondering btw. the easiest place to find those shady wizards is in the shady undercity ;)

I honestly think it's pretty cool that they did that, I think I got one from a certain artist, I also like how they all look like they are bound with very suspect looking leather, they have this sort of disgusting human skin patchwork look and I absolutely love it, it's like chaos magic. I don't think anyone reacts to you actually using the magic though, which is a bit weird.

Yeah but its still weakly implemented.. Those NPCs "hide" in a plain sight, soo fkin inconspicious.. Even things that are illegal like butcher books are in ark just displayed like everything was alright.. You can find a lot of these "mistakes" and it breaks that immersion of it

@@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU I haven't seen butcher books or sinistra spellbooks in plain sight in cities.

Built entirely on the engine and the systems and the tools that the ES5 dev team made... Look, I agree that Enderal is a great mod, and Skyrim does have issues, but the amount of pissing on Skyrim is unbelievable sometimes. There's also other factors, like how Enderal is smaller than Skyrim. It doesn't have to accommodate so many damn NPCs, so the dialogue can also be more deep. And then there's the fact that obviously the Bethesda team couldn't predict every single little mod that people would make for the game, so obviously some things that were specifically built for Skyrim's systems are gonna clash with such an ambitious total conversion.

@@arnox4554 Bethesda should focus on creating a new engine and then let the players make the game

@only Death nice mask for a terrible argument. Skyrim is a great game. In my opinion, the greatest ever made thus far. Stop needlessly hating with completely false criticisms. New Vegas is not "the same game with minor updates"

@@arnox4554 Not entirely, I think they used some tools that were built exclusively from the modding community, like the skyrim script extender. And I don't think it would have been possible to do this conversion without the script extender. But yes without the creation kit and engine from bethesda, all this wonderful mods for Skyrim and this conversion wouldn't exist. That's also why I'm afraid of a new engine, because I don't think Bethesda would take the time again to make it so mod friendly.

Without Skyrim this literally wouldn’t exist. And people still mod Skyrim and even the older games to this day.

Me, a game designer: _takes notes_

I used to rip them out of my keyboards just for accidentally hitting them. Now I find keyboards with the functionality to turn off the windows key entirely. Nice.

imagine not remapping the windows key to a usable in-game key

@@OfficerHotpants 🤣🤣🤣 this is funny as hell, but when it happens we are both gonna be like, “😅 Well shit....🤣”

well a lot of the team members have now jobs in the game industry because of Enderal.

@Andong Well, if Bethesda was of the character to employ such people, we'd probably have higher quality games from Bethesda, and higher esteem for them. I'm glad, with how Bethesda has been, that they aren't employed for them, but my point was more that they chose not to do something morally better and instead went for a quick cash grab. I mean, they couldn't even fix many of the bugs when they remastered Skyrim, when modders had fixed those bugs already. Of course they're shitty, I'm reminding people, that's all.

@@TheAdarkerglow And now they are bought out by Microsoft, so it's just gonna be even worse with Bethesda. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Bethesda used to be one of my favorite devs. Bethesda is shit now. Blizzard is shit now. Come on why are these devs all losing the passion and chasing the money? They definitely don't NEED to. They have enough money to make whatever the fuck they want if they actually cared about making genuinely good or innovative games anymore. I get publisher pressure but the same could be said of them as of the devs. And both Blizz and Bethesda where in a place where they could publish their own games at one point.

Bethesda will never learn, their ego is too strong for you break it. Only the most richest, wider audience will sastify Bethesda needs.

@@overdev1993 And now they will make cookie cutter crap. I don´t know what´s worse

Why?

@@xaga8794 well, offhand I remember there's one quote from the previous game Nehrim, and it's in German because that game never got dubbed.

xaga also it’s just very dark like the original grim stories, which are German.

@@vitriolicAmaranth that's gross

Imagine if Ralof spent the entire cart ride screaming to bring him a nice, crisp piece of meat. I wonder how many contrarians would STILL go Stormcloak.

vitriolicAmaranth I would change sides immediately. Who doesn’t want to be on the side with screaming meat guy?

Adam Samir you’ll have the benefit of knowing he won’t eat you, you won’t ever go hungry and you can count on him in a fight

And then go for the final quest of the rhalatha xD or w.e they are spelled, that was an experience

Enderal Intro: BRING ME A NICE CRISPY PIECE OF MEAT! Skyrim Intro: *SPINNING HORSE*

yeah, stability was never an issue for me either. i had to play it on a low-medium custom setting. but it ran pretty well. though that was on an older, lower end system than i have now and i haven't tried it since i got a new pc. so maybe it's an issue with newer tech

I find that turning off Windows 10's game recording mode makes all games more stable.

I think Enderall got some pretty major exposure when it came out, but if you go into it expecting something like modded Skyrim, you’re gonna be dissapointed, and that’s how it was advertised, as like a great big Skyrim mod, when really it is it’s own game, and it suffers from being related to Skyrim in any way.

Got any reccomendations for other massive overhauls / entire games similiar to this one?

Same, I already had SE, had to get original version to play the game but it was still worth it. I'm still playing, only about 20 hours in haha.

@Koby Cossins how? i need to buy the game first

@Koby Cossins you didn't need to have the original game to play it?

@@bonbonbot8444 Done!

@@bonbonbot8444 His music just made the game incredible! The constant depressive undertone is very fitting I think :)

'it reminds me of dark souls in this way'. Dark souls has no story, has no sidequests and has a linear world structure that quite literally converges on your objectives. 'I wish more open world games are like this', you'll never get an open world game or role playing game anything like Dark souls. 'Wish there were more open worlds that provide opportunities to explore while not leaving mains story in the dust like Skyrim'. The vast majority of open world games are linear with almost no story side content or very little all of it relating to the main story. Skyrim isn't 'generic' in that regard or like 'all other open world games', how many games like Skyrim are there out there?

@@7dayspking I think you are missing my comparison. I'm not saying Enderal is exactly like Dark Souls, I'm saying the world is structured and created from the same idea: The world is ending, but you aren't fighting against the force that is ending it, you are fighting against peoples' mistakes in trying to save it. In Dark Souls you fight demons because a gateway to hell was ripped open when trying to recreate the first flame. You exist in a fracture world with different realities and an uneven flow of time due to Gwen destroying space and time by rekindling the first flame. New Anor Lando exist in its current state due to the God's flooding it to stop the spread of the dark. All the monsters you fight aren't caused by the flame ending they were created by your predecessors trying to do their part in saving it. Not to get into spoliers, but Enderal is thematically the same. All the quests you do, either main or side always ties into how other seek to escape or save the world, usually leading to their own smaller forms of calamity. As for your defense of Skyrim, there is no need, because I wasn't attacking it. I love Skyrim but it is undeniable that the goal was to create a open world where a player can live in. You can be and do whatever you want, but this comes with the cost of being easy to lose the main narrative. Or even undercut its importance, because although it says its important and time critical, its not. You can literally do everything else in the world before tackling it. What Enderal does brilliantly and what more games like Skyrim should adopt is to support its main quest with side quests that were design as extensions to reinforce themes, provide interesting lore, or even offer the otherside of the story. Skyrims side quests were designed seemly in a vacuum, with the goal being: what would make a cool quest, regardless if it had no connection to other quests or the larger events happening in the world. None of the guild quests had anything to do with dragons and the Gods' quests were always for their owns whims. This isn't necessarily wrong, but is a miss opportunity to create better world building.

I think that even Morrowind was closer to that logic, a lot of side quests and faction quests were tied to the main plot, giving you the sentiment that everything was set in the same world.

@@matthewmullin6042 'you're not fighting the end but people's mistakes made trying to avoid it'. reductive description of either and kind of flimsy. Wasn't a defence of Skyrim and it seems you missed the point. The point was that creating a world 'you can live in' is rather unique among open world games specifically to something like Skyrim. 'What Enderal does and Skyrim should adopt is to make side quests extensions of the main quest'. No to everything. This is the status quo among open world games. This would undermine Skyrim's purpose as a roleplaying game. 'Quests in Skyrim have nothing to do with the world', such as? They seem to have everything to do with fleshing out the breadth and depth of this world that isn't confined to just what's important to a single linear story as is conventional. If you look at Daggerfall you might understand Skyrim's foundation, where it comes from. The entire point is the variety of quests and 'not directly related' stories allows players to play their own characters. Most stories unrelated to each other but all consistent with and adding depth to this complete world the player inhabits. In a traditional narrative sense this is not efficient world building, Skyrim isn't that though. Imagine suggesting what you just did for a game like Kenshi or Mount and blade.

@@alexandrebertrand1069 Can you think of anything in Skyrim that would contradict that 'everything is set in the same world'. Maybe you noticed that our real world is very different than a fictional book or a film. There's a lot of people, doing their own thing. Not all of these things directly contribute to 'the same story', the entire world of ours does not revolve around one theme, message, event or person.

Yes pls!!!!

YAAAAAS!

of course we want! :)

Definitely!

Yes! Even more people playing Enderal!

I was really slow on catching up on various things but that's maybe because modern day gaming has got me used to not really think too much about story because 1 it's usually not good enough to be worth it or 2 it's completely obvious from start to end anyway

Honestly, just from watching this video, it seems like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic with a better story, but on the Skyrim engine thus worse combat.

@@So-4007 Nothing like Dark Messiah. Dark messiah was a linear level based action game and you play as the literal son of the devil. I actually think the combat is worse in Dark messiah, it's clunky and unresponsive especially for a first person game.

So you have played all endings? And DLC ..

@@bonbonbot8444 Yes. Saved before the turning point. Only played the version that included the DLC, so played those too.

@@Niyucuatro Yea, just finished Enderal few days ago and how the story is made doesn't leave much room for replaying it and going towards the end it starts to feel like there is no point with the side quests or exploration..I'll finish some of the better ones and then I think I'm done with it

Good luck with the new playthrough! You will definitely enjoy the added content since the Forgotten Stories DLC! :)

replaying it rn actually

Dyamn nehrim is amazing ...

Yeah they said they're just waiting from the approval of steam. I'm looking forward to replaying it

LordMandalore without his meds?

If you enjoyed the main story you might also like the audio book "Dreams of the Dying", a Jespar prequel! You can find it on the official SureAI RU-vid page :)

@@gamingpriest-enderalguides Cheers, my good man. I am already aware and I plan to give it a whirl eventually. Still, I really appreciate your suggestion.

You will really enjoy the content they added since the Forgotten Stories DLC! :)

moonfolkrapid exactly there aren’t many games that just make me look around and take in the view the only other game that has done that currently was assasins creed origins and enderal defenitely made me look around at the world it’self instead of me just running trough like most other games.. the witcher 3 did it a little less but still made me stop to look at the details of some of the houses.. though it didn’t make me literally rp walk trough just basking in my surroundings..

The whole thareel quest broke me

tbh you could read the title like that: "Ender All", since everyone dies :V

Man's out here making suicide walkthroughs

enderal is to skyrim what literally no other mod dev team has ever pulled off (don't want to talk down PoP but it's really a whole other league)

It's on the list.

@@StratEdgyProductions If you end up enjoying Underrail, also look into ATOM Rpg, it's basically Russian Fallout.

@@Meta_Mage I like atom rpg's atmosphere, reminds me of when I visit the rural area in my city.

@@StratEdgyProductions Good to hear. Interesting game from small team.

The thing is they didn’t have to use Skyrim’s engine

If they weren't working with Skyrim'[s 'shitty engine' you'd have no game right now. They didn't choose that 'shitty' engine by accident. It was chosen because it had the strongest and most complete foundation to build their game on top of. Skyrim's engine was made exactly for this type of game but optimized by Bethesda for Skyrim specifically. Many of the issues Strat edgy had could have been fixed and tweaked by the Enderal team, more than likely they're oversights or they simply didn't have enough time to invest.

I went in the other direction and went for a basic elemental caster. It got pretty boring spamming lightning bolts to kill everything and everyone, but I hated the skyrim talent system and didn't want to mess with it. Not sure if it was the right call.

If you plan to restart and you like planning your character ahead, you can choose from 20 different affinities between the memory trees! :)

Like every TES game sword and board warrior is strong as fuck and you only really need to manage 2 skills, one that gives huge damage resistance and another that makes you do more damage.

We have been hurt, we have been hurt

I'm on my second playthrough. Didn't do phasmalism the first time but I'm doing it this time, and if you get your self-copy where I think you do, that's super creepy. And also blows one of my theories, but oh well.

Enderal is just one big jojo reference confirmed.

I'm at the last part of the main quest and other than that have done everything there is to do in the game. Took 173 hours to do it. I have been dreading this moment because I don't want it to end.

@@g.o.d.6752 Can relate to that! :D

I mean you didn't have to shit on me like that but alright I'll take that😭

Myself I finished the game (one playthrough) in 117 hours. I didn't do Eshe, but I did do a roster of other sidequests, including Rhalata and Company. Ending fucking broke me and Rhalata broke me and... There's so much stuff in this game. I'm considering taking a go at it again, going for Eshe and secret ending this time. I've also tried getting my friends to play it, but to no avail. I want to discuss it with certain of them. It was just such a ride, and the consequences of the worldbuilding and ending just makes me want to try and discuss it in real life.

I feel like that was on purpose.

I honestly did not figure it out. I felt something was off but brushed it aside. For me the story was amazing.

Well that and I saw a similar story in Mass Effect.

@@Kris.G Yeah, anyone that has played Mass Effect could probably tell where the story is going 😆

You dont need to download Skyrim to play Enderal.

Our government in Germany should give them a little encouragement like other countries. SureAI could make a great game!

they are currently building a new game in Unreal Engine 4 but I wouldnt expect an open world RPG from it. they also made a small indie game called "Mad Restaurant People" which is on steam for a few bucks.

So which games like Enderal have been made on Unreal engine or Unity? If you can think of even just one, tell me about the budget and resources behind that.

@@overdev1993 Exactly this.

Haha same for me! :D (Replayed it twice though)

@@gamingpriest-enderalguides I really wann get back into the game you know, but every bit of story I'd play I'd think "Fuck man. All will lead to this ending" and it kinda just touched me emotionally so hard in the first playthrough, I somehow cant get over it

@@BreakingTheGleipnir There is a new, hidden ending with forgotten stories - I'm in the middle of my second playthrough (the first one was years ago and left me in the same state as you are, btw) and I'm busy to achieve this ending. Hope it's a little bit easier to bear ... On the other hand: First of all it was the ending, that I kept in mind and that never left my memories ...

Spoiler: you can save him if you dont kill qualian

SPOILER AHEAD SPOILER AHEAD SPOILER AHEAD SPOILER AHEAD SPOILER AHEAD SPOILER AHEAD Yep. All things you were doing entire game were meaningless. You could not save everyone. You were played like a puppet by Cosmic Forces you cannot even comprehend. In fact- you are a puppet. You are not real, merely an illusion of deceased man, that thinks himself real and percieved as such. Ending to Enderal is a huge emotional gut punch.

@@Sarum9nich spoilers Fr tho, that ending left me straight up crying bro, what a wonderfully done story and game. And the fucking " i led them to the light...i alone.. " THAT SHIT BROKE ME and the message that ending left me with, fucking fantastic

@@yacoprinci3260 SPOILERS Wonderful? I was sad after completing Enderal. But i was also rather angry. Why save Tharael if hes going to die anyway? Same applies to all other character you interacted with in the game. Remember your talk wth archmagister Lexil? About how he wants to visit his mother back in Nehrim? Well, he never gets the chance- in the end he will be dying on floor of temple, muttering in delirium for this mother, as his life and hes very being get suck out of him. Enderal's ending is a very cruel towards the player, not only the character you playing as (i dont like my alter ego performing "heroic sacrifice", just as i did not liked ending in me3 where Shepard will die) but the person behind the screen. Its an emotional gut punch and emotional kick in the balls at the same time. The only "good" ending is hinted as maybe not being real (i REFUSE to belive that).

god dammnit im almost done with the game and i REALLY want to click read more but i wont

@@Sarum9nich spoilers Yeah i agree it makes you angry But that was the point, and it nailed it It wasn't by accident like in othee games, this was intentional And i loved the thararel plot line.. 10/10 And i got all 3 endings, and the flower ending is 100% sure real, that man ( i forgot his name ) lied to stop you from ruining his revenge What he says, it doesn't make sense. If everyone who uses the flower goes into a coma.. Then how the fuck can they tell what are his dreams?? Even if you say magic, the other resources about the plant, even in the library of ark, they never mentions a coma. Why would they leave such an important part out?? He HAS to be lying

watch NeverKnowsBest review

Yeah, I feel you. I actually couldn't get into it. I feel like it's a good game, on the objective side, but it just wasn't for me. A shame, really, I love a good mystery. And I only heard about BECAUSE of those reviews praising it to high heaven. :\

This. So much this.
