A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

This week is more Enderal for me. A free total conversion of Skyrim (you need Skyrim obviously). It's a complete new game with new mechanics, story, skills, etc. It's fully voiced and waaaay better than Skyrim IMHO.

I’ll definitely check that out. Looks very promising.

Best thing: no level scaling. Yes you will die a lot in the beginning. But becoming more powerful is now actually worth it!

In the end I had a manaless fireball cannonade spell. I very much enjoyed Enderal. Much better story than Skyrim imo.

Oh sweet. I hate level scaling 99% of the time. It’s one of my biggest gripes with Skyrim, and with most games that implement it. It’s one of the many reasons I love the Souls franchise so much. Good to know that mod doesn’t have it.

I stopped playing because it is a bit too hard for me. I keep getting killed by spiders. Maybe I'll give it another go.

I switched from melee to spellcaster in heavy armor. That made it a lot easier. Also spending all your learning points (buy books) and memory points (press Z, that took me far too long to figure out)

Thank you, I'll give it another try.
