Description
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.



Enderal is free and can be played by anyone owning a legal copy of TES V: Skyrim. (No DLCs are necessary.) It is developed non-commercially by SureAI, the team behind the renowned Oblivion mod "Nehrim: At Fate´s Edge" (and various other projects).  

Feature List

  • An open world with its own lore and hand-crafted, detailed and diverse landscapes – explore deserts, heathlands, forests, jungles, mountains, and more.
  • An unconventional story with believable characters and psychological undercurrents.
  • German and English voice acting by professional voice over artists.
  • Multi-faceted, believable characters with own ambitions and motivations.
  • Overhauled gameplay with classes, experience points, survival mechanics and challenging combat.
  • An overhauled skill system with classes and new special abilities.
  • A housing system allowing the player to design their own homes.
  • 30 to 125 hours of expected playtime.

Added in Forgotten Stories

  • Two "crafting classes" that utilize alchemy and enchanting for combat – use potions to shapeshift into a werewolf as the Lycantrope, use enchanting to craft spirit companions as the Phasmalist.
  • Improved performance and stability for a smooth experience.
  • Twelve new sidequests and two non-linear guild questlines: Work your way up the Golden Sickle, Enderal's merchants guild and infiltrate the ranks of the Rhalâta, the enigmatic cult ruling the Undercity.
  • Reworked and improved crafting, spells, and much more.

Just a masterpiece

I have just finished the game. It is flat out excellent, the writing is almost the best I have ever seen, it is only surpassed by Torment (which is straight out literary quality). The scenery is outstanding, very beautiful, the atmosphere is great. The voices are extremely nicely done and the characters give a feeling of depth which is rarely seen. Striking storyline. I have quibbles about the skill system but it just doesn't matter since the overall game is so good. Skyrim was one of the best but they built upon it to take it to the next level. Thanks to the team for bringing that gem into being.

The Skyrim we always deserved!!!

This game is not only a total conversion mod for Skyrim, it does everything in better than Bethesda did with its own engine. The only drawbacks for some players may be the near complete absence of fast travel and a reworked skill system that relies on your abiltity to spend (game) money to level up your skills. But I can tell you that tolerating these major changes is well worth it for a game that puts Skyrim itselsf to shame. Highly recommended!

A truly amazing game

I have played Enderal for about 100 hours now, and I have loved every minute of it. The writing is spectacular - the quests are engaging, the characters are believable and compelling - and the landscapes are stunning. All in all, I would say that this is an amazing game, well worth your time!

ALL time favorite!

Enderal is just as incredible as Skyrim, I can't even compare the two. I always cry at the end because of how amazing it is! The soundtrack is also awesome too. I highly recommend this game <3 you really form connections with the characters in ways you can't in Skyrim, it actually has some perks that Skyrim doesn't too on that aspect, which is nice.

A Mod better than the Game itself

No matter if world building, mechanics, balancing, pacing, story,... Enderal takes the cake in any category that can come to mind if compared to Skyrim. I first played it when it released on Steam (~120 hours, not even close to 100%ing it) and it was so good I had to donate a few bucks to the creators, so playing such a gem for free would not weigh heavy on my conscience. The score is superb, the world full of quests, NPCs, stories and places to discover and the lore so interesting that you will be willing to read everything you can find in this game. The balancing, the mechanics and the pacing make Enderal way more enjoying than Skyrim and on top of that, the story is one of the best you will play in your gaming career (not merely asking, but also discussing deeply philosophical questions while still being exciting and entertaining). Give this masterpiece a try and you won't regret it. Concerning my rating: Why not 5 stars? -> The graphics are a bit outdated and if you are like me, a bit of fiddling around with ENB can save your eyes from getting cancer (would have been nice if SureAI had included some eye candy). P.S.: A lot of Skyrim mods will also work with Enderal.
