Tumblr, I have accidentally discovered the greatest AAA RPG of the past six years.

This game marries the mechanical complexity of old-school isometric CRPGs with the accesibility of modern titles, absolutely gorgeous, high production value visual design, an insanely immersive open world and a thoughtful, well-written story that successfully blends high-fantasy roleplaying with psychological horror, resulting in playthroughs lasting upwards of 100 hours.

The problem is that this seminal masterpiece, which I wouldn't hesitate to mention in the same breath (and in some aspects, maybe rate higher!) as titles like the Mass Effect series or The Witcher 3...

is a fucking free-to-play Skyrim mod.

A total conversion mod, to be specific, called Enderal: The Shards of Order, currently available on Steam under the name Enderal: Forgotten Stories, where it comes bundled with its DLC (!?!?!??).

You might think I am joking.

I am not.

You might think that I am using hyperbole above.

I am not.

It's free to download as a standalone if you own a copy of either edition of Skyrim on PC, but it's well worth even the asking price of purchasing Skyrim - even if you never intend to play it. This game is kind of to Skyrim what Fallout: New Vegas was to Fallout 3, but that's selling Enderal short. If you enjoy CRPGs and the drought of any high-value productions in recent years is getting to you, you owe it to yourself to play this. It's not flawless, of course - no game is - but any issues you might have are far outweighed by the innumerable strengths this game has. This game would be worth the price if it was available for $60. For a free title, this game is unmatched for value paid.

I downloaded this game recently, thinking it would be an OK way to pass some time. Instead, I was blown away by something that filled all crawings I had towards RPGs for years now. My recommendation could not be stronger and considering the severity of brainrot this thing has given me, I will be probably posting more about it in the future.

Please, play this game. Walk blessed, Prophet.
