Looks great. It's sad to see people like Kharakosh and guitartod who think that everything should be done their way, but at least the general public is appreciative of all the hard work and time that goes into FREE MODS like this. Can't wait to try this out! However, I would also like to see English voice acting. It won't stop me from trying the mod if it's not there, but it is a request.

Huge Nehrim fan here! Being an Americi who loves watching foreign films(Some anime too), I didn't mind reading the text and didn't ruin the experience for me at all! I think it immersed me even deeper! What would have ruined the experience for me is bad English voice overs, which is very possible to happen since the team is in Germany and bad voice acting is unforgiving to me in any media. I rather read the text and listen to real actors. You guys should check out how they even did the voice acting. They were lucky to get many voice actors to help them for free, I hope they're lucky again!! Keep it real, friends.

I'm eager to play Nehrim in Skyrim, since I'm a big fans of Nehrim in Oblivion Good luck to the Nehrim's dev Hope you guys do better in voice acting now

[zbzszzzt123]

Personally ,i think Nehrim is more than just a game, it is a legend, a tradition, and i think it shouldn't just be free, 60 dollars is more than a good deal for such a game. Love to see Enderal too.

After seeing this i actually decided I'd give Nehrim a try. I'm just getting started and although things are moving a little slow paced so far I'm absolutely loving it. So much attention to detail and the music adds actually quite a bit to the atmosphere. I guarantee I'll put more hours into both Nehrim and Enderal than Oblivion and skyrim easily (: and also as long as there's English subtitles I'll be more than pleased. I'd much rather take good voice acting of a language I don't understand than mediocre voice acting in English. I'm going to be checking up on this frequently to see how it's progressing and I'll download it the minute I know it's released (; Bethesda is put to shame by the work these guys pull off lol Good luck guys you have my total support

Nehrim was amazing, yes, in all aspects but the lack of English language (a pretty big thing when you're out of the cave). Judging by the amount of people having played Nehrim and the awards it has been given, I wonder if it's more of a case of the devs not being bothered to organise an official English voiceover. There'd surely be enough volunteers for such a project, it's only a matter of priorities. And even better for Enderal, they could do a kickstarter to sponsor a professionally done English voiceover. There's no lack of possibilities or any obstacles to make this happen, only a lack of ambition and living in a cosy German-bubble outside the international world.

...is this a joke? I'm being serious, I don't know if your joking or not.

English is a common spoken language yes... but not the most common spoken. They are not ignoring an international bubble.. they are simply not bending over backwards to satisfy a predominately English/American bubble. German speakers (and speakers of any other language) must read subtitles if they are to enjoy English speaking productions- and less that 10% of the world speaks English as a first language. So whilst we sit cosy in our English-bubble, 90+% of the world must compromise. And that's ok, it's culture, a lot would be lost if we all spoke the same language.

Think of it this way- there is a HUGE modding community for these games in Russia, Japan, China (there are more speakers of Chinese than English if I'm not wrong) and many other places around the world as you can see by the huge amount of 3rd party translation mods. Many of the mods on this site would take about 4/5 hours tops to convert to another language- do the modders do so? No, of course not. Modders from around the world must translate it themselves, they don't even have a subtitle version. ... and yet here you are, suggesting that it is pure laziness to not do a voice-over translation for a mod that probably costs hundreds and hundreds of man hours, lots of different voice actors, and a lot of money just to do it in one language. What about the Japanese players? The Chinese? The Russians? There is more to an "international world" than your home language.


I'm not trying to be mean or anything... you just sound really hypocritical

[ElvenChaos]

Variants of Chinese is the most common native language(s) spoken in the world, but given the sheer number of them, it makes sense. HOWEVER, English comes second natively (though, technically it comes FIRST if you want to count it as a total from those who speak it as a second or even third language..there's about 1.5 - 2 billion speakers of English worldwide ;] ). And most people who play Skyrim/TES speak English/are from English speaking countries. ...I just wanted to point this out. BUT the German in Nerhim never bothered me. I looked at it as the language spoken in that particular universe, and it immersed me. But I would be lying if I didn't admit to wishing for English dubbing on this, but only if it were done as well as the full German version. ;] Granted, they could use "gibberish" (as seen in games like Banjo-Kazooie) and I'd still be just as excited to play it!

if it has a english version i would play it, i could not get immersed in a game reading dialog written on screen. hopefully this team will start to care about americans and uk and make a multi language version for English language, there is not that many other country's playing skyrim compared to english countrys, most of the fans are only able to speak English. lets hope the dev of this mod decides to support america uk and all other countrysinstead of being so selfish.

When do we start paying these wonderful people?

[Cameoneo]

@Playstationandatarimaster Them being selfish? They created a wonderful game, for no charity. A game from modders who worked in they free time. On top of that, it was in many aspects BETTER than the original game Oblivon. Now a wonderful new project is about to be finished. They don´t want to reach the biggest bunch of Fans. They goal is to give their best work, betters than skyrim, which is easier to do in their mother tounge. If you can be best immersed in YOUR language, it is the other way around by them creating it in their language. Games are mostly always better in their original, the translated version can´t reach it. I see it by Skyrim myself. The German version ist crap compared to the English version. If someone that can be called "selfish", it would be the people who just didn´t try to play the upcomming game, just because it´s not in their language.
