Enderal: Forgotten Stories
It was impressive.
This is a global mod based on the Skyrim engine. However, Skyrim itself is just a beautiful walking simulator; here, there's more to it.
In The Elder Scrolls, you are always "the chosen one." A unique character destined to save the world. Here, too... in a way... But the feeling of being "chosen" is completely different; it doesn't feel like you're simply going out to save everyone on your way to the market. The entire world and all your actions are permeated with sadness and a sense of hopelessness. You don't just calmly go from point A to point B; you truly feel this burden, these trials... And you worry when you realize once again that you haven't achieved anything.
The plot and setting are breathtaking. The music matches the mood.
The progression system is much better than in Skyrim because the developers found a way to prevent the main character from becoming an invincible killing machine early in the game. This includes weaker armor values, skill books that you buy for large sums of money (and the further you progress, the more expensive they become), the need to search for sets of armor... Even at the end, when I had fully upgraded my character (maximum skills in two-handed weapons, heavy armor, mentalism, crafting, enchanting), found all the armor, etc., I still barely reached the maximum armor rating, and there were enemies who could take away half my health with a single hit, even on difficulty levels below the maximum.
It was nice to see some story elements even in random dungeons, where no one forced me to go through them as part of quests. The quests, including the most minor ones, are well thought out.
For example, in one quest, they promise you a free horse if you kill the fearsome troll Gnerdalf. After killing him, they give you a reward and tell you that now you can name your steed whatever you want. However, let's just say it's not exactly a horse... Looking at its appearance, the name became obvious to me.
Of course, I can't say that the game completely fixed all the problems of Skyrim; I encountered a couple of extra bugs. It also caused some trouble that I initially downloaded this mod from a website, but then realized that this version was outdated and lacked many features. As a result, I installed the Steam version of Enderal, somehow transferred my saves, experienced problems with quests from Forgotten Stories, but managed to solve them using cheats and finished the game.
Oh yes, the companions are great too; there are only two of them, but they are nothing like Fendahl.
10/10, it was too awesome.
