I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Spent about a half hour trying various buttons and different ways of selecting before I stumbled on how to do it. Once I did I was like “duh, so obvious”. But I haven’t played since then and have no idea how I did it.
I know this doesn’t help but just wanted to say that it’s not just you.
Figured it out. There is a base ability at the very bottom of the stela, and it’s very easy to miss. Once I selected that, which opens up the rest of that skill tree, it worked as advertised. But yeah, the UI could use a bit of TLC.
Other than that, though, man, this is really quite good. A few rough spots–the world geometry can get wonky at times, and the navmesh, and the text could use some proofreading (I suspect non-native English speakers as well, though all in all the writing is quite ok), but the storylines, the way things work in general, are really solid. Better in many ways than vanilla Skyrim.
Though so many wolves…gagh.
I have started this but found I am dying an awful lot.
How do you stay alive, I find I just get killed by everything.
I assume you have Skyrim SE. My procedure was:
download Enderal SE from Steam (Skyrim itself does not need to be installed)
start enderal to have config files created, shut it down
download ENB files ENBSeries v0.475 and unpack, go to WrapperVersion and copy the two dll files inside Enderal folder:
download of the STEAMIN ENB main file STEAMIN ENB for Enderal at Enderal Special Edition Nexus - Mods and community , unpack, paste the folder and two ini files into Enderal folder:
I also disabled letterbox (just change TRUE to FALSE in the enb ini file) and did the fourth step of the STEAMIN description (just added the textures and meshes files into their respective folders) and applied main menu and loading screen fixes (same thing, just copy paste)
As for your dying…I played on adept (default difficulty) and also died a fair amount, but that’s normal…this is more like a Gothic game, world does not scale and you can get your ass kicked, means you better be more careful, figure out a way, or run and come back later.
I am 110 hours in, my character now kicks ass for the most part, but that’s normal in RPGs and I don’t really mind. Still enjoying the quests and the world variety here…
I just downloaded the Skyrim SE from Steam, then immediately downloaded the Enderal installation also from steam. Ran the Enderal shortcut from the desktop. No problems. Ran fine the first time.
Dying, though, yeah. I found that despite my initial idea of a warrior type specializing in two-handed weapons, I am doing much better using a one-handed weapon and a spell. Lightning, lightning, mace, mace, wash, rinse repeat!
You didn’t need to do that. Enderal is standalone, it does not need Skyrim to be installed. It does however need that ENB for a nice modern look…
vanilla
ENB
Huh. Well, it looks fine the way it is, and I have no patience to jump through all of those hoops you laid out. So, I’ll endure it as is :).
Yeah even vanilla is gorgeous but I do wanna try this at some point.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Skyrim; in fact, I only finished about 1/3 of it before tedium set in to the point of no return + I felt frustrated that all the factions had asshole ideals so I wouldn’t want to join any so I quit, but I always liked the descriptions for this mod that promised something less generic and less fluffy than vanilla.
Do what you want, but those hoops are really just copy pasting some files. It took me about 5 minutes to do and it was the first time I used ENB.
And as a result, I get a game (that I already enjoyed for 115 hours with more to go) that looks quite nextgen compared to Skyrim - and more importantly, it makes Enderal look much more like its own, separate nonSkyrim modern game.
Still cannot make it work, even uninstalled and re installed in a new location and followed steps but still getting the missing textures and cannot load
Oh, I agree, it’s probably worth it, and my hat is off to you for taking these steps. I’m just at the point now that I have little interest in doing more than clicking an icon to run a game. Anything more and I go into sloth mode.
I have made it work, brand new installation and steps 1 -3 + Bethini and it works, hooray me :)
I decided to try the ENB thing and it does seem to look better.
Awesome. You can press shift and F12 together to instantly toggle on off. The new lighting makes huge difference on vegetation in particular.
Awesomer! :)
Ok, You guys have got me. This doesn’t require any faffing around with mods and installers right? I just go to the game on Steam and click on download now and it just works? Also, what’s this ENB that everyone keeps talking about? Is that something additional?
Yeah it’s an Add on, Enderal itself is just a standalone download from Steam. Definitely worth it.
