Walk blessed,

We'd like to end the year with a little surprise - the new Enderal main menu by the very talented Stefan Stankovic.

Thank you for your ongoing support and your patience - we're still waiting for word from Steam, but we're using the time to polish the hell out of this game. Also, there will be news about the Jespar novel soon.

Have a great start into the New Year!

The SureAI Team

Walk blessed,

Christmas is here, and Enderal isn't - why is that? We've promised an announcement this week - and this is it.

Long story short: though we submitted our Steam build some weeks back, the unusual data structure and Enderal's dependency on Skyrim makes the process a lot more complicated than we thought. Until Steam approves of our build, we can't release.

All this means that Enderal isn't coming before January 2019. Since we have no control over the process, we can't even give a definitive date here, but rest assured that we want a timely release as much as you do.

On the other hand, this additional buffer gives us more time to polish, bugfix and test the hell out of the game, which ultimately means a better product. We're also working hard on our fancy cinematic release trailer which we're releasing in the coming weeks, as well as the first chapter of the Jespar novel (altogether with a redesigned Patreon page.)

Finally, we'd like to share this new song from the new Rhalâta quest line with you, performed by the talented Lauren Synger. We'll also share lots of exciting stuff in the days from now until release to make the wait a little easier.

Sorry for the delay, thanks for your patience and your ongoing support, and happy holidays! We'll make sure that Forgotten Stories will be worth the wait.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

The SureAI Team

Walk blessed,

today we present to you the last big feature of Forgotten Stories: The Lycantrope class.

Lycantropes are shapeshifters who utilize alchemy to brew potions that allow transforming into a werewolf and even alter or enhance aspects of their transformation.

To give you a better idea, check out the final episode of our devblog:

We will also announce new, detailed information regarding the upcoming release of Forgotten Stories.

A big shoutout to GamingPriest for creating the video.

Enjoy!

Hey guys,
as we are getting closer towards the release of Enderal and the Forgotten Stories DLC here on Steam, we've uploaded an outtake video of the German voice acting recordings to our YouTube Channel.
We've added english subtitles, but some stuff can't be translated all that well, so go easy on us.

Thanks to all the awesome voice actors who lent us their voices!

Enjoy watching:

If you have any questions regarding Enderal's Steam release that weren't answered in the latest FAQ, post them here so we can see and answer them. There will be an announcement about yet unannounced features soon. So stay tuned for that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi guys,
thanks for all your comments, feedback, discussions and suggestions that you posted during the last week here on Steam and other platforms! This FAQ should cover the most asked questions that you had regarding Enderal, Forgotten Stories and the Steam release.

Enderal is a total conversion for TES V: Skyrim: a free game based on Skyrim's engine. It features a new game world, complete with different regions and dungeons and its own lore and story. It offers an immersive open world, all for the player to explore, overhauled skill systems and gameplay mechanics and a dark, psychological storyline with multi-faceted and believable characters.
You can check out some details and background info about Enderal and its predecessors on our website.

Enderal was already released in summer 2016 and will be re-released on Steam on February 14 2019.

First and foremost you will need a legal copy of Skyrim Classic or Skyrim Legendary Edition in Steam (no official DLCs needed).
It doesn't need to be installed, it's enough to own it.
Now simply download Enderal via Steam and launch it and you are ready to go!

Enderal will not work with Skyrim Special Edition (SSE). We might be able to port Enderal to SSE once development and bugfixing is finished, we simply can't split forces now.

Localizations for other languages will be available as soon as we send out the files to the localization teams and they have finished their work. This means that most likely only the English and German version will be available on release and other versions will be added later.

The Steam installation allows for a lot of cool, new features:

• Easy and fast download, install and update directly via Steam
  
• Enderal will have own game directory and won't share .ini files with Skyrim
  
• Own save game directory and enabled Steam Cloud for save games
  
• Build-in ENBoost and other stability fixes
  
• Steam achievements for Enderal

But the most interesting point is "Forgotten Stories" that will be included in the Steam release of Enderal.

Forgotten Stories is a free DLC/Add-On/Expansion pack for Enderal that will add content cut from the initial release version.

It also adds a new, hidden ending and new classes built around crafting rather than combat skills.

Make sure to read through the announcement in our forums.

An installation via the Steam Workshop would mess around with your original Skyrim installation. The Store page allows to be a sperate installation, independent from Skyrim.

Yes, but ...

In terms of texture improvements, Enderal is already heavily modded from the get-go. It also already comes with SkyUI, SKSE and many more mods, so check out the credits.txt for a full list. Enderal also alters a lot of Skyrim's game-play mechanics and even introduces new features.

Every mod that is specifically designed to alter an existing Skyrim record won't work most likely. There is a mod category for Enderal on the Nexus as well as a Compatible Mods Spreadsheet.
Still, a little warning: these mods might not be updated to the newest version of Enderal, be careful and read the descriptions!

If you've got a good mod setup working, you might wonder if you will be able to use it with the Forgotten Stories DLC installed. Forgotten Stories will change quite some aspects of Enderal, especially the crafting skills as well as interweaving new quests with old quests.
We recommend to check out Enderal: Forgotten Stories without mods first and add later upon it.

We highly recommend starting a new playthrough to get the best, full and most bug-free experience. Generally speaking, old saves can be loaded but some major content can't be experienced due to technical reasons.
We won't be able to fix bugs that are caused due to the "age" of a save.

No, the Forgotten Stories DLC will be only available via the Steam Installation of Enderal due to technical difficulties. We will not update the installation packages on NexusMods, ModDB, etc. We will leave them as they are, so the current installation method will still be available after the Steam release. However, we won't be able to support it any further. We highly recommend using the Steam version as soon as it's available.
These non-Steam installation packages might get updated at the very end of the development cycle, no promises though.

First of all, make sure that the bug isn't caused by any additional mods that you have installed. If you are rather unsure if you encountered a bug or feature, don't hesitate to ask in the Community Hub, our forums or Discord.
The best place to report a bug to is our bug tracker. Click "Report Issue" in the top right corner and fill the form. Please always attach a save game (.ess file and .skse file) that was created before the bug happened and describe to us how we are able to reproduce the bug.
Keep an eye on the ticket if we need further information regarding the issue or create an account at the bug tracker and report it while being logged in, you will get email notifications about every action that will be performed on your report.
Keep in mind that we are only so many active developers and we can't reply to every ticket immediately. Please be patient.

We can't give a general answer to these questions because not every asset was created by us but some were borrowed from other Skyrim mods (and other games) or were bought from external sources.
Please write us a direct message about the asset you want use or use the contact forum on our website, so we can either grant or deny permission.

Yes, we do have some:

• Facebook
  
• Twitter
  
• YouTube
  
• Steam Developer Site
  
• Steam Group
  
• Enderal subreddit
  
• Enderal Discord

Yes, there is. Donations help us to cover basic expenses, such as server maintenance.
You can also check out our Merch store.


If we missed out on some crucial questions, let us know in the comment section. Have a good day everyone!

We are thrilled to announce that the Steam Store page of Enderal and its DLC "Forgotten Stories" is now live! Make sure to follow and stay tuned for further updates!
You can also add Enderal to your wishlist to definitely not miss the release date which we will announce later this year!

Enderal will be available for free and will be playable as long as there is an installation of Skyrim via Steam on your hard drive. However, the installation and update process of Enderal are now done via Steam and no longer via our Servers.
Furthermore, Enderal will have a completely standalone game and save game directory, so that the installation will no longer interfere with your Skyrim directory. You will be able to have both games installed at the same time!

Further information and updates will follow soon!

Thank you all for your support :)
