Enderal SE

• An open world with its own lore and hand-crafted, detailed and diverse landscapes – explore deserts, heathlands, forests, jungles, mountains, and more.
• An unconventional story with believable characters and psychological undercurrents.
• German and English voice acting by professional voice over artists.
• Multi-faceted, believable characters with own ambitions and motivations.
• Overhauled gameplay with classes, experience points, survival mechanics and challenging combat.
• An overhauled skill system with classes and new special abilities.
• A housing system allowing the player to design their own homes.

• Twelve new sidequests and two non-linear guild questlines: Work your way up the Golden Sickle, Enderal’s merchants guild and infiltrate the ranks of the Rhalâta, the enigmatic cult ruling the Undercity.
• Reworked and improved crafting, spells, and much more.

• Remember to never use old Enderal mode in modding tools. Always choose Enderal SE (if available) or Skyrim SE mode.
• If you use Vortex or have troubles with installation, install the game with pre-installed requirements from Steam.

Download localization packs from Nexus Mods.

To switch languages, Enderal SE uses Enderal – Forgotten Stories.ini. The base package has all string files included. Strings are not usually compatible between patches. If you are seeing errors “Lookup failed”, you got outdated versions of them. Re-verify your game files to pull updated strings. The Nexus page contains additional localized extras, such as textures, videos, fonts, and Enderal – Forgotten Stories.ini, switching language as described.

Always assume a Skyrim mod is incompatible until proven otherwise.

Enderal LE mods must be converted before using. If you complain about broken paper map, you have ignored this advice.

Enderal SE has its own Nexus Mods section https://www.nexusmods.com/enderalspecialedition.

Vortex plugin – https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/218

Mod Organizer 2 supports Enderal SE as of version 2.4.1.

For the Steam version, use the Enderal Special Edition (NOT Enderal) mode.

For this version, use the Skyrim Special Edition mode and enable Enderal downloads in settings:
