Plot
Development
Enderal was in development for five years by a team of fourteen.[5] It requires the base Skyrim game but not its downloadable content.[6] The mod is fully voiced in both German and English languages.[7]
In December 2016, SureAI announced that Enderal would be getting an expansion pack, Forgotten Stories, to be released in 2017.[1] Forgotten Stories features content that was cut from the original release, and is expected to add 10-20 hours of gameplay.[1] This includes two questlines for guilds featured in the original mod, as well as a new secret ending to the main quest.[8]
Reception
In his review at PC Gamer, Jody Macgregor awarded the game 74/100. Macgregor found his 50+ hours spent in game enjoyable, rekindling the joy of discovery found in the base game. He appreciated Enderal's high standard of writing, and described the voice-acting as "far beyond what you expect from a fan project".[9]
