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.

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.

difficult (for me), even on easy

I've played many many RPGs, and this is a beautiful and complex mod for Skyrim. There are almost too many quests, and you get them way before you're strong enough to complete them. I'm 12 hrs in and still trying to figure out all the ways to upgrade/improve. One quest makes me go into a house and I immediately die due to a bug that instantly attacks and overwhelms me. Had to use console command to get past it. Much slower upgrade progress than other RPGs. Beautiful graphics, plays well, but hard (for me) even on easy difficulty. (I know...git gud, but I'm not into grinding so much)

Better than Skyrim!

I LOVED this game. The story was much darker than skyrim and it felt like there was WAY more main quest content. This game truly makes skyrim look like the mod. They do a great job with the characters and made me feel a true sense of conection( even though its just a game), which takes some skillfull writing to do. The gameplay is very similar to skyrim. The biggest diffrence was the leveling system and diffrent skills.

This is not just a mod but a masterpiece total conversion. Shame the work on this is hidden from the Bedethsa engine but nevertheless the game is free. 10/10
