ElijahHouck Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 No, this is completely separate from Nirn. Ethas is the name of the world it takes place on, and in Embrace of Destiny, you play in the countries of Arelia and Virardan. While we're still quite a ways off from release, we have certainly accomplished quite a bit in the past few months. And as far as new races go... stay tuned for more info on that later this summer. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killerbuddy Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Is there going to be newly implemented through this mod that affects Ethas in any? Such as gameplay mechanics, or other various actions that currently do not exist in Skyrim? I ask because there is so many other popular mods out there that affect mechanics, we wouldn't want there to be any incompatabilities. Also, along with the forst question, will there be any new weapons and armor, or will everything be used in vanilla Skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhardingame Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 We've got some exciting news! It's not our Summer Update, which will be next month, but none-the-less awesome. On Wednesday, we added a new person to the Ethas development team! Everyone give a warm welcome to Andreas Stavaas! We're very excited to have him and his experience with us. Some of his past works include being a former member of the Black Mesa Source development team and being a part of Sure AI during the development of Nehrim: At Fate's Edge. He'll be doing a few things, including level design, scripting, and modeling. We're excited to have him on the team, and can't wait to see all that he'll bring into the world of Ethas! Also, keep in mind that we plan on doing a podcast soon as well, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and we may include them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElijahHouck Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Summer Update Time! We're releasing a bunch of new screen shots that show what we have been working all on summer. From the re-imagined Plains of Sorrow to the forests of the Heartland, we have a quite a few new things we'll be showing within the images. Some of the new things shown off include; - 2 of the 3 new playable races.- The Heartland, the forested lands in southern Arelia, and home of Arelia's capital.- Our redesigned color palette for the Plains of Sorrow.- A screen showcasing an open city. Yes, we will be having open cities.- Elven Ruins Also with the screenshots, we are releasing our first podcast! We talk over a few general topics concerning Ethas: Embrace of Destiny, and what it's all about. It provides a first insight into the world of Ethas, and what you can expect in Embrace of Destiny. http://www.moddb.com/mods/ethas-embrace-of-destiny/videos/ethas-embrace-of-destiny-podcast-01 And last, but not least, we are also releasing the main theme for Ethas: Embrace of Destiny, composed by our own Justin Hardin! We hope you enjoy this look into the feel and some of the atmosphere we are going for within the musical realm that will be brought to you in Embrace of Destiny. If anybody is interested in joining the Ethas team or is interested in voice acting, email us at [email protected]. If you're looking to become a team member, be sure to include examples of what you've created in the past. The Ethas team has a very open workflow, so you won't be forced into a specific position, you'd pretty much be free to do whatever you want (within reason!). Remember to keep watch, as we'll still be updating in the future with more stuff!
