Oblivion-based fan game 'Nehrim' looks good enough to sell in shops
50 hours ܫof gameplay? Voice actors? Who needs ESV?
Still waiting for some kind of confirmation that T𒁃he Elder Scrolls V exists? This might just kerb your anxious shaking for a week or two. Some bright sparks in Germany have been making a brand new RPG using the mod tools that came with Oblivion. It's no slapdash effort - they've been slaving away since 2007 to create a game that provides as much gameplay as a full retail release. It's called Nehrim: At Fate'sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Edge and it looks like this...
Everything you see here has been created from scratch, reportedly using the modding tools that came with the PC version of the game when it launched♌. All of the scenery has been modelled by hand, so there's no procedural landscape generation here. And seeing as it uses the Oblivion game engine, the physics and animation is every bit as convincing as a full-price game.
The high level of quality doesn't stop at the graphics, either. Professional voice talent has been used to record the game's dialogue (which is, sadly, all in German with English subtitles available). There's also a levelling system that doesn't scale relatively with your enemies. So, unlike Oblivion, as you get stronger you'll actually... y'know, get stronger. In fact, it seems to answer a lot of the points we raised when we looked at what 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:we want to see in Elder Scrolls V. We're🐻 sure Bethesda would take the series a step further still, but it's great to see what fan dedication can do.
