Phasmalists can craft and deploy spirit companions to do their heavy lifting, while Lycanthropes can brew up potions to transform themselves into werewolves, as you do. Also two interesting new character classes, one based around enchanting and the other on alchemy. The Forgotten Stories expansion adds two 'morally grey' questlines that more overtly heroic players might not see on their first go. Rivalling Skyrim for scale, you're still looking at an estimated 30-125 hours of fantasy fun with Enderal, and you probably won't see it all in one go. Credit where due, Valve have been pretty good about that, for better ( Sven Co-op) or worse ( Hunt Down The Freeman), so here's hoping for more in future. It's even rarer that a distributor allows a mod of this scale to be released as a (nearly) standalone game.
If you're unfamiliar with the term, think of it as an entirely new game built on the foundations of another. Thanks to Skyrim's modular nature making it easy to add stuff to its world, total conversions like Enderal are rare. Developers SureAI say the Forgotten Stories version boasts more quest-lines, new character classes, a new (hidden) ending and other upgrades - it even has its own Steam Workshop for mods. Originally a mere mod (set in its own world entirely separate from The Elder Scrolls), you won't even need Skyrim installed to play this version of Enderal. After some behind-the-scenes wrangling with Valve, Enderal: Forgotten Stories hits Steam next Thursday, February 14th as a free, standalone game for anyone who owns Skyrim.
