Not so in Enderal, where drinking too many potions will result in you suffering a fatal dose of Arcane Fever – which is just as pleasant as it sounds.
In Skyrim, you can chug potions until your belly is swollen and you’re one dragon shout away from spewing all over the enemy. Far more difficult, far more punishing and far more complicated, it scratches that oldschool-RPG itch that Skyrim as a base game could never quite reach – even with a loofa.Įnderal changes a lot from skills right down to the way that potions work. Enderal might as well be an entirely different game with all of the changes to not only the world and the story, but to the baseline mechanics of the game. Thanks to Skyrim, we have fantastic additions like Enderal.
With fantastic additions like Frostfall and the Clockwork City, not to mention all of the companion and… questionable pieces of content… it’s no surprise that Skyrim became and, more importantly, has remained so popular. Skyrim might be one of the most popular titles of all time – but its status as a game is overshadowed by its status as a modding platform.
