There is somewhat of a build up to it. It's a little forced as it's not as though this was a secret goal (it's the literal stated goal of the order from day one) but he begins to feel doubt about the mission to kill the gods and leaves at the beginning of the mission to go kill the gods. He's gone from the game until the very end until you overhear his last moments as you go to fight fate where his last words are declaring his love for you. You do see his body but it is in the boss arena which you are teleported away from once you defeat the boss so it's not as though you really get any moment to take it in. It really just seems like a cheap way to give you some strong motivation to fight this villain who you have basically no real reason to hate or personal animosity towards.DagothGeas5 wrote: ↑ July 14th, 2025, 22:29That the death is off screen was truly unexpected to me. The sudden mythical god slaying of prophecy and sudden rush to the end I could live with, which reminds me of the likes of Farenheit and Detroit Become Human, but that a companion that seems, to me at least, be an integral part of the journey, a true companion to keep by your side, is gone and done and never seen again off screen is quite strange if not jarring I would even say. Is the body seen at the least, or is it just a line of dialogue or similar that tells you about what happened and he is just deleted from the game? Is there a buildup to it?
However it's of no concern, if I'm going to be the shadow god then surely I can use my godly powers to give myself a TRUE and GOLDEN happy ending

I definitely do want to give Enderal a try but I'm unsure how soon I will start it. I still have some unfinished business in Nehrim to clean up and I may be getting a lot busier soon. I also don't know how I want to handle it. Nehrim is a total conversion for a game I already love even completely unmodded. I know there's gameplay changes but the idea of vanilla Skyrim combat gameplay makes me shudder a bitMarcus wrote: ↑ July 14th, 2025, 22:31Does this mean you can finally start playing Enderal? If so, would you be willing to do a Let's Play? I would absolutely love watching you play the game!
As for a let's play I'm unsure. I'm still not very good at that format because I'm never sure how much to keep in or leave out. Not to mention needing to constantly take screenshots. I suppose I could record as I play but I'll have to see how feasible that is. I like to keep things fairly casual so as not to become a chore. I did really like Nehrim but it does start to wear you down after a while especially towards the end as there's a lot of deranged scripted sequences that Oblivion really struggles with. I should be upset that the final chapter was so insanely fast paced but honestly I was kind of wanting to wrap things up too.
