|
 |
Official Site
Release Trailer (in german)
Nehrim - for those who aren't familiar with the name - is a german TC made for TES IV: Oblivion; and now with the english release imminent I reckon it deserves its own dedicated thread.
I've been waiting for the english translation, but from what I've heard from the people who have played the german version, Nehrim sounds like a total treat for the fans of more traditional CRPG's (ie., NOT the fans of Oblivion  ). It's basically a completely new game, it shares only the engine and some art assets with Oblivion.
Just some of the key features (read the FAQ for details):
- COMPLETELY new, 100% hand-crafted game world (comparable in size with Oblivion's) with extensive, unique dungeons
- Extensive main quest (longer than Oblivion's) with 35 single quests as well as approx. 30 side quests
- XP-based skill system & when you level up you gain LPs (learning points) that you can use or skill upgrades at a teacher - just as in the Gothic series.
- Completely new spells and items; the most powerful ones can only be gained as quest rewards or found in hard-to-reach locations. NO LEVEL SCALING. Item enchantments are rare, legendary/unique items very hard to get (not possible for low level characters).
- The character generation will be the same as in Oblivion - but races, zodiac signs (birthsigns) and classes will be different.
| Quote: | 1.) Nehrim is a game focusing both on story and classical RPG gameplay. You solve quests, earn experience points, collect better equipment. Although this sounds rather conventional, Nehrim finds a perfect balance between a stunning presentation and the actual game. If you are not motivated to proceed playing once you have started, you are probably doing something wrong.
2.) There is something to discover at every corner in Nehrim. Monotonous woods and impassionately designed dungeons? Not here! And honestly: Who wants to wander through landscapes you can find outside your own home? Nehrim includes sets of landscapes that have never been implemented in any game before.
3.) There is more to the story than "Go save the world". Much more. The characters have deep personalities, they change throughout the game. And who knows, there may even be some romance...
4.) There is going to be a new soundtrack. Our team musicians Simon W. Autenrieth and Lukas Deschel have been industrious so even acoustics freaks will be comfortable in the new world. Aside from these compositions there will also be a gig by Schandmaul, a popular Folk-Rock band, who kindly have provided a song for the project.
5.) Nehrim has an elaborate [voice-acting] synchronization. And when we say elaborate, we're talking no less than 56 professional voice actors and a recording studio from Berlin that got our backs. Regarding this, Nehrim may just be one of the biggest synchronization projects ever having been undergone for a fan project. |

Interesting. I miss the days of Morrowind mods. Oblivion got almost nothing in comparison.
I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

Right, but does it also have proper English voice-actors? Or will it be the usual German "actors" very hardly trying to do Medieval-English accents and failing with hilarious over-the-top results? 
If so, I will download Oblivion immediately.  |

It could be wrong but I knew I read it a while after German release.
| Quote: | | The English version of Nehrim that will include translated texts and German voice acting will be released in early September 2010. |

I kinda find foreign voices to be more atmospheric.

that kinde of depends, if evry quest takes around 5 hour to complete 65 quests are alot, but on the other hand if a quest takes 2 min to complete 65 quests arnt that much =)
the mod it self seems very intresting, i hade a huge problem with oblivion but i guess it might be worth reinstalling cus of this...

Dont be so narrowminded and dismiss it just like that, this mod is kickass. Better than the maingame, IMHO. You can see they really put their heart into it. And compared to Oblivion, the story is worthwhile.
You get 40 hours of game and lots of enhanced stuff. Cutscenes and all.

Will there be english voiceover or just english subtitles? You cant get the feel of a proper fantasy with such an ugly language as german.
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!

Subitltes only. But German isnt just "HALT" and "AUSWEIS BITTE". Maybe just listen for yourself when the mod is released. You wont find it to be that bad.

I will definitely try it, even if the next months will be full of (presumably) great RPGs

Fan made stuff can be so awsome sometimes. Remember Gun Man Chronicles?
Love the German, hope it stays and we get English subs.

Personally, I'd much rather have well-made german speech instead of rushed, poorer quality english speech. Putting together a voice-actor team that'd be at a comparable level to the german version would delay the english release by months; not really worth it imo.

So, they are not doing (at least) english voices? (I say "at least" because german is not my language, and english neither, but better)
I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.
