Pretty sure you do need skyrim in order to play it however. It may not be dependent on it but it still does a check for it I believe. Edited July 16, 2016 by worksa7

Yep, it does but it has no effect in Skyrim.

Not needing skyrim.esm doesn't mean it's not a mod - you'll still need the base executables and assets or Skyrim wouldn't even be mentioned.

Nope. You didn't understand what was written. This is not a mod. It is a new game using the Skyrim engine and resources. You will have to start a new character.

All you have to do is look up the original chapter Nehrim which used the Oblivion engine. That was incredible so there is no reason why this shouldn't be as well.

This looks AMAZING!!!

There are 2 companions which you meet during the main quest and which have their own background and questline.

For further informations i recommend you to check out the Enderal Preload (German) Mod here on the Nexus.
There are plenty of informations about the game etc. written in english.

It is a new game, new story (well a continued story from their Oblivion chapter called Nehrim) and new adventures. Nehrim was brilliant so I expect this to be as good.

Yep, after 5 years of work they are going to change the name after the already released it. :thumbsup:

Quick question, do I need to own a copy of Skyrim to play Enderal?

 

P.S. I do own Skyrim, I was just wondering ;)

Yes its a Mod for Skyrim and is using the engine and some of the files.

[zetrax999]

Will Enderal conflict with any mods I have Installed? Or does it launch from a completely different launcher than Skyrim and not be affected by Skyrim? I don't know because I have heard many different rumors about the mod.
