hlaalu24 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 We're not doing a total conversion. Ethas is designed to play right alongside Skyrim. Sorry for the dumb question, but does that mean we can get into the Ethas world via a portal or something with our existing characters, or is it like a whole new game to start fresh?

jhardingame Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 When you load up a game, a spell will be added to your inventory that will let you begin Ethas: Embrace of Destiny. After that, you will have a spell that will allow you to return to Skyrim while you're in Ethas, and vice versa, so you can switch back and forth between the world of Ethas or Skyrim at anytime. However, these spells have the same restrictions as fast travel, so you won't be able to teleport out of combat or such from one world to another. Also, currently, when you start a new game, you'll be asked if you want to begin in Skyrim or in Ethas. Upon making your choice, you'll either begin at the Skyrim intro, or the Ethas intro. We haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but due to this, it'll probably conflict with alternate start mods, so we will be releasing a version on the release of Ethas that won't conflict with Alternate Start mods (i.e, you'll just load up your save game and have the spell, or if you want to start a new character, just start your alternate start and then use the spell to begin Ethas).

jedijas Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What is the status of this? Looks dead to me...  Edit: Never mind thought the posts were from 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahHouck Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Of course not! We'll be trucking at this for a while yet. Remember, just about everybody on the team has experience working on long-term projects - for example, I spent nearly three years on Alton, IL alone. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhardingame Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Though our Elijah Houck placeholder NPC is quite dead. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
