Having finished it recently, I now find myself thinking of Enderal not as just a Skyrim mod, nor even its own standalone game and RPG. It easily transcends the boundaries of Skyrim, overcoming many of the gameplay issues and lacking elements of its source material. That story, world, the characters contained within, and the full span of Enderal’s adventure? Those are so fantastically realized that it feels disingenuous to call Enderal a mere mod. There’s less reliance on scaling enemies, and more on not reaching into areas beyond your means, as the story will nudge you there when you’re ready. It is less the freeform “do whatever you want” simulator that Skyrim quickly becomes Enderal is instead a focused, story-driven RPG with a splash of open-world content that better utilizes the space.
Skyrim’s general DNA is still inevitably present in movement and systems, but the way it works is wholly redone. This mod completely replaces the landmass and setting of Skyrim with an original one, and overhauls most of the gameplay systems as well. It’s the definitive and complete version of the tale, and is worth playing again if you’ve only dabbled in the original previously. The updated Forgotten Stories expansion from 2019 saw a number of additions to quests and content, as well as a standalone release on Steam. Developed by a dedicated team of German modders by the name of SureAI, the first version of Enderal was released back in 2016.
Enderal: Forgotten Stories is a total conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
