I am dumb and only came to know that there is a Special Edition available to play (from Skyrim SE Engine, of course) after a long time I started to play this one.

I haven't finished the game yet, and I will continue my progress on the SE version since I just needed to transfer my save game.

Although I have to say that this game is amazing and very underrated so far, it's not just a mere Skyrim mod. Even some mechanics were changed. Voice acting, OST, story, world-building, everything is fantastic.

My full review of this game will be on the Special Edition version as soon as I manage to complete it (which I feel might take a while).

Better than Skyrim in pretty much every aspect, on whose engine this total conversion mod is based. The German dubbing was really professional with great voice actors, Jespar really grew on me just like many of the characters in the game. The music was very atmospheric, the dungeon design was even better and more varied than in Skyrim and stylistically it was also a blast. The main story and worldbuilding were super strong, even if I was a little disappointed with the ending. I also loved the revised skill system and the different classes play really differently. It feels like a kind of Gothic game with a Skyrim twist and fans of these games must have played Enderal. One of the best western RPGs I know and it's absolutely free....FREE :O

Wow, simplemente wow. Sin dudas uno de los mejores rpgs que existen, y es gratis!!. Tiene sus carencias, como todo, nada es perfecto, en parte por las limitaciones del motor gráfico de Skyrim, y al ser un estudio indie se complica todo más todavía. Pero la historia es magnifica, muy bien escrita, las misiones del dlc que agregaron son divinas, la historia principal parece cliché al inicio, pero llegado al final se convierte en original y refrescante. El desarollo de personajes es sublime, Jespar, Calia y sobretodo Tealor Arantheal son personajazos!. Lo único que me molesto es que se siente muy extenso en partes, o aburre el loop jugable, pero eso es culpa del mismo Skyrim. Recomendadisimo para cualquier amante de los rpgs, y las buenas historias!

The fact that this mod is available for free to anyone who owns Skyrim is a goddamn crime. Hell, calling it a mod feels like I'm downplaying just how colossal this is. It's really its own game more than anything, and one that does things much better than Skyrim.

This is mostly through a far more engaging story. While I want to hold back heavily here to avoid spoilers since you should play it yourself, it executes something very thought-provoking and has plenty of twists and turns around every corner. It has some striking similarities to another well-known RPG, but executes the concept in a way that's considerably stronger.

This is aside from the gameplay which is admittedly far less accessible than Skyrim, but rewards being patient. You're pretty weak as things begin and need to build up your character, but if you're willing to put in the time, you'll become an unstoppable force. I played through the full game as an Elementalism mage, and it was great seeing how my abilities evolved into a lightning-based powerhouse by the end.

The only complaints I have are small, and tend to be focused toward the last quarter of the game. Bugs start to run a bit more rampant to where you often need to reload saves to fix NPC pathing, and one particular plot beat feels a little out of place. Otherwise, it was very close to scoring a 10/10 for me.

If you're a big fan of Skyrim, or are like me and found Skyrim to be just fine, then I'd highly suggest taking a look at this. It might be built off its assets, but just about everything else has been shaken up. Plus it's free, and it's hard to argue with free.
