      @@NarsMcain I think Enderal is very impressive for a free, fan-made work and definitely a step-up from Nehrim *BUT* it also has some moments of terrible writing. The main story in particular has some serious issues, and relies way too much on a twist ending. Without it, it's a pretty stupid and run-of-the-mill tale, and the twist is also kind of stupid when you think about it. It's not a bad twist per-se, but I'm not sure it was worth the 50 hour story that preceded it. The game also has similar moments of attempts to come across as mature or philosophical that are really cringe inducing.
      Again, since this is a fan-made project and the writers aren't English-natives I will obviously cut them tons of slack. If this was a professional production I would be much more critical. But regardless of my opinions it's impressive they put something like this together for all of us to enjoy.

      @@robinmattheussen2395 yeah, compare enderal to base skyrim. Sure it was fun back in the day but after 10 years of playing a game we're every character is a nord and every nord has the same voice actor I think enderal is comparatively amazing. Plot wise you are basically some random fuck who turns out to be the chosen one, and in terms of gameplay sense enemies scaled to the player it was a snooze fest, but in enderal I actually felt challenged sometimes but rewarded fairly. It may just be the allure of a nostalgia trip like skyrim but this time I don't know every single nook and cranny by heart which makes it 100000000 times more enjoyable for me.

      I would say however that I think Morrowind handily dodges the 'unknown backstory' problem. The true genius of Morrowind's writing is that it never actually _tells_ you if you _are_ actually the prophesied Chosen One that was foretold, or if you're just the first one to come along both willing and able to jump through all the prophetic hoops.
      The Big Bad even flat-out asks you what you think you are, and your available replies range from 'I am the messiah!' to 'I did it because I felt like it.'

    Feels like a losing fight to stick up for this game, but there's actually a fairly decent amount of visual storytelling in Nehrim if you bother to look. Especially in its dungeon design, which gets accused of just existing for shiny set piece purposes. Fair, in the case of the one literal copy-pasted "bruh did you see Lord of the Rings?" as a dungeon, but there's also y'know, an entire subplot told exclusively through dungeon design and scattered notes about a war that literally shaped Vyn's modern geography and the origin of why there's elves on the planet. One man's "this place is really empty" is another's "holy crap more context for that one place with that one note I found". It's on you to get into it. "Korean MMO Guy" better known as Arkt, has an awesome story that is only there to be found if you put the pieces together and process it it past the veneer of "hey, a teenager probably wrote this". Arkt's is a story that can be discovered by fitting pieces of lore together that at times aren't even directly related to him, but then it gets clearer with each bit you find, which is good, because he's not the type of character to just tell you himself after enough of a Positive/Negative meter gets filled to drip feed you his tale like certain modern games. Treomar is a zone whose story is told through everything from a bit of the Main Quest to little notes you find around that zone. The story rewards you, if you actually invest in it, which definitely seems to be a struggle for a lot of people who pick up this game because they're being left to figure it out/come to their own conclusions instead of just being spoon fed the absolutes. Unreliable Narrator is a huge part of Vyn's storytelling through all the installments, including Enderal. Nehrim is plain goofy cheese in a lot of places, but that doesn't mean it's unworthy. There's a reason it had the hype it did when we were all a decade younger.
    Also, if metaphysical "hurf blurf" doesn't float your boat, Enderal might disappoint you. Still incredible world design though, and the leveling system is better defined.

      That's what you could call comment commitment. Mods like these are the embodiment of love for what can be a genre of art, and I get why people obsess about every minor piece of lore in a market where the attention to detail is way too often kept to a level that ensures the most causal gamer can't complain about being overwhelmed. In my opinion, with many RPGs having their focus on cutscenes, they are becoming more like movies than interactive games.

    • @TrojanPiece
      @TrojanPiece Рік тому +3

      I agree on going after the game's story to pick up on the extra cues like the ingame books and such, but tbh that whole romance triangle thing in the past with Narathzul Arkt and that one girl felt very very hamfisted and very teenager-like as how he would put it. In fact it didn't even had any purpose in the story at all. But other than that, I'm all for going all out on picking every little bit available extra lore on this universe.
      One of the dungeons in Treomar btw, houses the best weapon in the game, and it's also a returning artifact from the predecessor Arktwend, which had a story-importance in that game.

    melee in oblivion is balanced around heavily enchanted weapons you won't have for the first half of the game, and that carries into nehrim.

    One thing I wanted to note: At one point you tried to go through a blue, glow-y portal thing and said that there was 'nothing' on the other side of it. In the original Oblivion, that portal is used a couple times, and I always remember it due to how weird it was: You can only 'interact' with it by activating the stone-looking parts that make up the 'frame' of the portal. I remember this portal was specifically used in Boethiah and Peryite's quests, perhaps others but definitely those two for certain.
    But I've also never played this mod, so even if you *had* interacted with it right, it might've still done nothing.

    Haha that was awesome !

It's fun discovering Nehrim and seeing people that were mentionned in Enderal. Don't really know if I would have played it without that so I get your feelings haha.
    If you find it interesting as you said in your video, you should definitly check it out! I consider it one of my favourite games, I love the story/characters/setting way more than I do Skyrim. I'm a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, but Enderal's story and character resonate more with me and were way more memorable. I'm also a fan of Bioware games, and the way you can build relationships in Enderal reminds me of them.

    I feel like Nehrim is a very difficult game but at the same time its so rewarding. Also all the game related issues and bugs are due to this game being a fan project. I admire the whole team who made a mod that was at the par with a game made by such a big studio. The whole story telling of Nehrim is not clearly spoonfed to you and you have to be attentive enough and eager enough to get them all. This also gives you a sense of the personality of the character that you are playing. Also I might say that I actually loved exploring my backstory in game but I do agree that RPG should not have this type of already defined backstory. I also feel that this whole game was too ambitious at a lot of places but I am happy that the studio explored those ambitions and provided us with this beautiful game for free.

    I wish you played and recorded to the end. It gets better after the sanctuary. Actually I think the best strengths of this total conversion are the world building, landscape and the level design. There are so many eyecatcher moments despite being on Oblivion's engine (heck, I think it could be thanks to it being on Oblivion's engine), the world is the same size as Cyrodiil's, but somehow feels twice as full of content. All the dungeons are handcrafted and they are so interesting that honestly it's a remiss to not visit all of them while blazing through the main story. For example there is a dungeon not too far away from the capital city, and that dungeon can be made a player home, not only that but it has a totally custom made replayable tower defense minigame in it. The amount of detail and love that is put into this game (and similarly in Enderal too) is indescribable. Land has different biomes that make it look very diverse. It also has more number of settlements than in Enderal which maintains the illusion that this is somehow a living, functioning society. The worst downside of this mod I would say is that, it really crashes constantly, requiring you to quicksave every 5 minutes.

    Was vanilla Oblivion quest design that bad? Let's have a look at the quest "Misdirection," it's a quest for the Thieves Guild where you have to steal the Archmage's staff and leave a note in his bedstand. If you're the Archmage, nothing changes with the quest. You have to steal "your" own staff and put the note in your own bedstand all the same, you even refer to yourself in the third person. The reason I put "your" in quotations, is the staff really isn't even yours, it only spawns during this quest, so the only way to get a high tier Mages Guild artifact is to play through the Thieves Guild. This reminds me of the Necromancer's Amulet and the Bloodwyrm helm, also two high level Mages Guild artifacts, that get deleted from the game after their respective quests are completed, instead of just being awarded to the player like in any other RPG, but I digress. Anyway back to the staff, a member of the Mages Guild sends a letter to a guard captain telling him it's been stolen, even though it was stolen from your private quarters that no one else ever enters and you didn't tell anyone it was gone. Then, annoyingly, the quest requires you to sneak the staff into a retired member's house in order to "return" it to the guild instead of just placing it back in your own room because the Mages Guild will apparently assassinate you if they see you entering your own quarters. Also, if you have this quest active during other Mages Guild quests where other Mages Guild members die, you will incur the Thieves Guild's blood price and be kicked out of the guild until paying it, even though it wasn't your fault at all that anyone died. The cherry on top of it all is if you had anything in the chest that you have to place the note into (which is quite possible considering it's called "Archmage's chest") it will be completely deleted from the game. So no, vanilla Oblivion quest design wasn't that bad, it was much worse.

    13:04 the guard's helmet is a real German helmet design of the 15th century called "Schaller" or "Sallet" in English. it was one of the best helmet designs of the high- and late-medieval periods and is also the influence that shaped modern helmets like the Stahlhelm in ww2.

    I actually picked up the game after seeing your review and getting into your channel and I'm really liking it so far, but I ditched the main quest for a good bit to do all the optional dungeons and that's probably helping. The dungeons are so good! Almost all of them have a different visual design or theme, and there's a whole tower defence minigame that gives you an amazing sword if follow a breadcrumb trail from the fairgrounds to a dungeon which gives you a key to ANOTHER dungeon, which is way beyond anything you'd see in oblivion. Thanks for making videos on jank German mods and other weirdness, this is the most fun I've ever had playing Oblivion, despite its flaws

    (bit late now, but) I had a lot of fun with Nehrim when it came to Steam. I had played Enderal before and liked it a lot, so I decided to go back to the dev's earlier works, including their Morrowind one Arktwend. They all have jank, they're a little funky, but damn if they aren't really charming. I liked them all quite a bit! Arktwend was difficult, as Morrowind is wont to be, but Nehrim felt a lot better. I guess I just felt invested in it and playing it all the way through felt satisfying and worthy. It might be quite a while before I revisit it, but I'd enjoy revisiting it nonetheless

      @@Warlockracy Yep. In Oblivion it just looks for the body slot, iirc. It's been a while, but I think this is exploitable with merchants - if you persuade somebody with a weapon drawn and shirtless, up to their persuade cap, and then put on a shirt and sheathe your weapon, you instantly jump around 15 points in reaction the next time you talk to the NPC. It's a good way to get decent prices if your persuade skill is less than fantastic. Really fun for the thug playstyle - feels like you're shaking merchants down.

  • @hitomisalazar4073
    @hitomisalazar4073 2 роки тому +17

    You know... there's something wrong with this Bethesda style open world RPG and thievery in general. I don't think any of them have really done it well.
    Take Daggerfall. It is incredibly difficult to pick an NPC's pockets in the game (You won't get anywhere near even 50% reliability until you're at something like 80% skill in Pick Pockets). Meanwhile there is some fairly hefty penalties to the area you're operating within for failure. Including a point where guards basically conspire to trump up charges on you to see you banished from the kingdom/killed on sight in a show trial.
    In Morrowind they made thievery a little better for the Breaking and Entering style as items had fixed locations like they would in say, Fallout or Arcanum. So at least plotting to lockpick your way into the Redoran Vault for a heist was a valid choice. But when it comes to petty crimes like picking pockets? Almost no one has anything worth stealing on them, and the code was broken so that your chances of stealing was reduced as well.
    Oblivion "fixed" Morrowind's issues due to universal scaling meaning most everyone had nothing worth stealing either sitting out in the world or on their inventory, along with the Daggerfall style: "Just picking a few septims out of someone's pocket is a nigh impossible task" sort of issue.
    Heck in Fallout: New Vegas they again run into that problem where most everything in the open is just not worth anything (good items are generally in store inventories that don't exist in the game world to rob), the bugged out Stealing mechanic (Code broken to hardcap your effective stealth when picking pockets at something like 40 regardless of ranks invested), and even when you do most people don't have anything worth stealing to show up, maybe a couple of rounds for their gun or a few bottlecaps.
    It's just a weird thing for me conceptually both in terms of Simulation and in terms of Gaming. In terms of Simulation something like picking pockets is basically a "mid tier" crime. It's something more sophisticated than "I smashed the window in your car to steal your radio", but less so than other high end crime. It's also very safe and few pick pockets actually get caught once they learn the skill. The reporting rate vs arrest rate is a pretty wide ratio. You're not going to make the money you might in say, hacking an ATM to empty it out or robbing a bank or being some big drug runner or smuggler... but the investment is low and you get away with it more likely.
    Now in terms of gaming however picking Pockets should probably be an "entry level" crime for a thief character. It has the fewest risks and outlay of time and effort (You don't have to scout out NPCs, figure out their schedules for safe times to break in, it has the least sort of legal consequences for petty theft compared to trespassing+theft+possible assault on the victim, etc). And it paying like it has the "entry level" investment makes sense. Pinching a few gold off some laborer as he walks towards the inn or whatever for a pint after work. That's perfectly fine. It's just that usually, reliably actually doing that is such a huge investment that it becomes silly in how not worth it that it is. Like in Skyrim. Where I often have to pay say, that beggar trainer in Windhelm thousands and thousands of gold on skill training just to have an okay shot at being able to pick someone's pocket for 12-30 septims worth of loot at the time in the occasional silver ring or amythest or whatever on top of their pocket change.
    Something a bit wrong with the balance on that.
    Not sure what it is. I mean if I were to guess most developers are probably afraid of the "Gambling Build" that Warlockracy did in Fallout: Sonora or something? Where you just print money due to repeated jamming two keys and passing a skill check over and over.
    But, I usually have to ask. "Thief" is something they want you to be in those games. Usually with dedicated Thief Quests and Thief Events and Thief Skills (New Vegas perhaps being the exception to that as the only real 'thief' content is Dead Money in its own way, which is about not stealing really in the end. But they do have various achievements that are meant for thieves like Artful Pickpocket and killing Benny with his own gun which naturally suggests stealing it off him as it appears in his inventory when trying to steal). But in the end... they don't really make thievery work. If they're perhaps afraid of someone "breaking their game" by doing something like stealing end game items at the start or making unlimited money off hours and hours of stealing from local NPCs... why even bother including them in the game?
    It is just "because tradition" and D&D had thieves? I think that might be it. And "because tradition" when you hate what the tradition is supposed to do and are actively trying to suppress it, is perhaps the dumbest reason to include something in your game.
