That's what I was hoping to hear! 😋

Ahaha, it was a joke you made under my pizza recipe joke, still it made me think "why not", so here it is 😉 Thank you and walk blessed!!

It came with my ikea oven, it's so perfect for pizza that I bought a second one!

Merci!

You there! You look as if you could do with a fine piece of our unrivaled, fresh and tasty pizza! I can see it in your eyes!

Thank you!! This time I'm hoping to warm some stomachs as well 😄

@@P.o.L Well, you certainly brought inspiration to make a pizza in the nearest future. By the way, your way of presenting information is extremely well structured and clear, be it the Pyrean history or a cooking recipe. By the way, if you're strongly into cooking, you could try to make videos of preparing Enderalean dishes (to look like those). Since most of them are similar to Skyrim, this will definitely appeal to a wider audience. That is just an improvised suggestion, in case with food, you're not only after taste (like me), but also after the looks and the context

That's a tasty suggestion! There's that meat pie recipe we find in the daddy dream that has been tickling my appetite for some time. It's not a fancy sweetroll but seems good 😋 Thanks!

​@@P.o.L Yeah! That one does sound delicious. You just need to figure out a replacement for whisperweed

It's important to feed the body as much as the soul 😜

Maybe I should not have trusted the Italian translation, "Il Pizzaiolo di Ark" 🤣

Ahaha yes!!

literaly my first thought

BRING ME A NICE, CRISP PIECE OF PIZZA!

Thank you Miro!! It's nice to try something different in between 😄

@@nixaraks besides Dreams of the Dying by Nicolas Lietzau, writer of Enderal, there are very good series, fantasy and science-fiction, that are fun to read but also keep you thinking. Personally I am a big fan of, in no particular order, Dragonlance, starting with the Chronicles, Dune, Dragonriders of Pern, the Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin, Asimov's Robots & Foundation starting with the Caves of Steel, anything by Philip K. Dick, the Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, to name a few. Hope you'll enjoy them if you didn't already!

@@DieBieneFranz I heartily agree on these points and questions, the Veiled Woman seems to keep things going, with little touches here and there to steer all in the right direction. I don't know yet but I am starting to have some ideas 😁 Also just lately I've become convinced that is actually Calia herself killing her father, her first uncontrolled burst of power. Definitely a lot to consider still. Thank you!!

You can really see the evolution!

The story does not seem that impressive, but it has many surprising twists and turns. I'll need to complete it to say, but I think having played Enderal that's what pushes me more, every time I encounter something mentioned in Enderal I get so thrilled 🤣

Thank you 😊

Should be very strong with some mentalism for support or summons to distract the enemies! Still iron from the start is 😱

@@P.o.L Im thinking about slows and speed while heavily relying heavily on alchemy and especially on poisons. I'll keep you updated. As of now, quick enemies like wolves are the biggest threat funny enough.

Yes please, I am curious to know about an alchemy build!!

​@@P.o.L Results so far, everyone that can get poisoned is getting destroyed. I -- Unknowingly regarding the opponents levels -- even did the Undercity arena questline when i was level 12, and they dropped insane axes, which 100% arent supposed to be for my level. (rip dagger dream) The most broken poison is paralysing poison and poison damage over time which stacks. I also have not a single issue regarding money, as my high alchemy skill makes it incredibly easy to generate money, pots, and xp at the alchemy vendor in ark. (I have currently 18k, one handed at 87 and alchemy at 81 I think). Also, making ambrosia pots is cheap and I can chug heal pots in emergencies. DOWNSIDES: Undead enemies beat me to mush because poison doesnt affect them, and i have a ton of problems with larger group fights. I dont think summons will help because summons will die fast, so i will have to level sneak and combine it with the invisibility skill to take out enemies one by one. Also it takes some prep work with all the poisons. So its not as exciting to play.

@marcelgraf5520 paralysis poison is so powerful, just the few ones found around were enough to carry me through the arena. Great points, the money part is not to underestimate as one could save point on Rhetorics. Maybe some talents could help against the undead, like Shadowtongue Oil and igniting it. Or carrying a Staff of Fireballs for the real tricky situations. Maybe going Lycanthrope? It should bring alchemy to another level. But yes it is a lot of preparation work, not a build for a carefree player but if one likes to experiment. Thanks for sharing this!!

Very good remark. I don't know if it's the effect of magic, or the non-uniform of time, or the tents and beams being more recent than expected, or even just something that was not considered by SureAI, although I don't believe this last one. It is very strange!

❤‍🔥

​@@P.o.L i see this took time just fantastic <3 feel like going back to enderal again

Thank you! By the way I made a Discord account and joined the Enderal channel. I am not there often but it's fun

@@P.o.L told you <3

There could be still hidden Easter Eggs, after seeing the column of fire I'm a believer 😁

@@P.o.L how do you summon them? on my save i see none of them at the places

It only appears after using mark/recall spell, then tfc three times in the console (toggle, untoggle, then toggle again). It appears on the right of the character

I could see that for other games, but in Enderal we as players are far from omniscient. More on the Holy Child in mystery #4 😉

Still playing Nehrim so I don't know, but I like your suggestion, and your point that the High Ones mock us for just doing the same as previous Prophets and not trying to think out of the box. The High Ones in Enderal are "immortal" though, they don't have a mortal body to kill. Do you mean that the High Ones in Nehrim are not immortal? I am curious but please avoid spoilers because I did not finish the game yet 😜

@@P.o.L High Ones don't have a physical body, but they're supposedly not immortal like the Fleshless. It's not completely confirmed (as a lot of things about the High Ones are left pretty vague), but supposedly the High Ones do not live forever, they just live for a very long time. One of the main events by the end of the cycle is the search for Numinos, an object filled with the essence of a high one (word of the dead). This once again shows that the High Ones either can be killed, sealed, or they simply die eventually after some time. Besides, the High Ones are an amalgamation of the whole civilisation, but even without a body they should still be vulnerable to Psionic magic. Perhaps the beacon simply creates a very powerful blast of Psionic magic that when directed via a Numinos will destroy the High Ones instead of humanity. I also have another theory that would kinda support these ideas in a way: I think the Cycle is NOT natural at all and the first High One was born from a powerful Psionic spell or ritual gone wrong. Perhaps the first civilisation advanced so much they tried to play God, or perhaps it was done by one of the seven immortal arcanists at the time, or maybe after the death of the seven arcanists one of the nations tried to create a superweapon to defeat the others and it backfired (this one is the most likely scenario imo). If we ask the good old "chicken or the egg" question here it should be obvious that High Ones simply couldn't exist before the beacon was lit for the first time so there had to be the first iteration to start it all. There is also the issue of the 4 Fleshless having specific roles. I think that originally these were the 4 people who were to blame for what happened. This would explain even better the mockery by the High Ones, as these 4 always repeat the exact same mistakes all because of their Egos.

@@FerunaLutelou I also think that the Cycle is not natural and there was a time without it, maybe the result of an experiment, a weapon, maybe an accident or on purpose. And that the first High One was born from that, and the Cycle began. I do not see how would the High Ones die of old age, but I do agree they might be susceptible to Psionics or Entropy. And your suggestion that we may be repeating scenes from that time and that the Fleshless are repeating figures based on the people who caused the Cycle in the first place is very intriguing!! This will definitely keep me thinking, thanks!

It's really amazing, I don't want it to end!

@@P.o.L And the music is great too! I remember how glad I was when I've heard some tracks from Nehrim in Enderal. It was always a strong side of SureAI.

@@Hevdan1 I'm having the opposite, it's so cool to hear some songs I know from Enderal, it so adds to the immersion!

There are definitely a lot of Lovecraft references in Enderal, Kadath, dreams, unfathomable horrors that freeze the mind, ancient civilizations and mysteries. The Kor questline manages to have a bit of all the typical Lovecraftian elements, ohh I so wish we would have seen all of that, and many other cut questlines. Thalgard also immensely fascinates me in a similar way.

I think there's a lot more left to unpack and you're very good at it too, so it'd definitely be fun to watch. Maybe you could make separate standalone videos dedicated to each of the quests. I especially like how much attention you placed on examining the architecture, as it's so easily overlooked. I personally didn't notice any patterns on my first playthrough - just 'oh, these are Dwemer ruin assets and those are Nordic barrows'.

Thank you! Oh there is so much to unpack, many quests and characters would deserve a closer look. I've so much liked this investigation, it really made me feel as an archaeologist as I was looking at statues and walls to understand a lost civilization. And everything that honestly in my playthrough I just saw as atmospheric details, like the whispers. Hints at unnameable horrors just for the sake of it, but scratching the surface reveals so much depth 🤯

Thank you!! Summarizing mystery #1, Gajus has specific memories of what we see happening to Calia, details only we know. It means he has the same memories, he met a version of Calia in his Cycle. My theory is the Woman in the Water is still alive because of the power of the Black Stone inside her, so Gajus fled the Cleansing of his Cycle together with her, and she ended up in the water coffin so her body would be preserved. Because Black Stone apart, she still ages (she grew up from the time of resurrection). Hope this clarifies 😁

@@P.o.L Thanks for explaining, that's what I thought too. I only asked because the way you talked about it made it sound a bit like you meant the Woman in the water is literally Calia (not just Gajus' version of), but I probably wasn't paying enough attention! I like this theory the most, that when people call it the Cycle, they mean the exact same people/archetypes, experiences and events repeating themselves, e.g. there is always a Calia, there is always a Jespar, there is always a Prophet, the Cleansing always begins and brings them together, and so on - kind of like Bioshock Infinite - constants and variables! An example for the variables in Enderal being how the Prophet decides to conclude the cycle, or in gameplay terms - which ending you pick. Very fascinating game, and I appreciate your videos exploring the lore!

Ahhh, I understand the question better now, thanks for the reply! I thought maybe you didn't notice the mysteries before this 😅 Well written and I totally agree, there are constants and variables, repeating patterns of events and characters more than the events and characters themselves. And with our choices we add that variation, each player experiences a parallel version of the same events, infinite realities in the sea of eventualities, and it works so good in the form of a videogame! It is so meta without even trying to be.

That's kind of my thought too, she is higher than all 😉

@@MjollTheLioness-o4y best game ever, enjoy every moment!

Thank you!! Could be, could be, I just wish the Holy Order actually shared it all with us 🤣

@@gronndar that place is huge, never-ending and you start all scared and with nothing, it took me days to get out 🤣

The beginning is not that encouraging, but later it's a world of fun! Thank you and enjoy!

🤣

🤣 Years ago I tried, but my computer didn't let me. I remember starting the intro, seeing the face of the emperor and thinking it was going to be amazing, then it just immediately crashed

Got good news for you then, there is a Gothic Remake in the works and the lead writer/developer is Nicolas Lietzau, the lead writer/developer of Enderal 🥳 gothic.thqnordic.com/

@@P.o.LWoah, seriously? :0 That is really cool!!

Thank you!! It's a long path but I'm starting to feel like a real creator, thanks to the awesome support 😊

Can't believe there's so little talk of it, again I didn't expect much and instead I'm blown away

It's one of the things I wanted to show, so unexpected! I liked it but only because I managed at the second attempt, if I had to repeat it over and over I think I would have really hated it 🤣 Using gold towers from the start and lightning towers in the final round worked for me.

@P.o.L I honestly didn't figure out where the gold was being deposited, so I killed the monsters by myself by not standing on the path, I started as an Aeterna mage I was very, very overpowered at that point

@@rikstan15 loool, I didn't think that was possible! When I tried I just enraged them, but I was not very powerful with magic 😂 It really is overpowered!

That's a great idea, thanks!! This one was spoiler free to encourage new players like me, but I had to restrain myself not to share all the cool things I am encountering. Would be nice to do that freely in another video after the game.

Oh yeah, I figured that out later. But in the start, having never experienced the zoom in, the evil expressions are a bit traumatizing 😂

Yeeeah, you won't regret it!! Once it gets going it's really fun.

That was my first impulse as well, I just wanted to rush to Ostian and look around. But I'm still far from getting there yet, I'm loving every moment 🤩 Especially now that I got used to the strange systems... oh I thought it was all due to Oblivion! Except for the things that are the same in Enderal so I know they come from SureAI, like the Ice Claws. Even some conversations are the same as in Enderal, it's funny how that works when you play Nehrim after Enderal.

Eheh not that I know, it would be interesting to play it. But I think it's difficult to even get close to the high-quality work of SureAI.

Thank you!! There are many interesting things indeed, it could be something for after the Enderal series 😁

Oh I know what you mean, usually I watch movies and series in the original language with subtitles. But a whole game with months of playing in German somehow discouraged me 😅 And it's not the annoying voice we've come to associate with AI, it's mostly that some of the lines come out very flat. Only sometimes, and there's not much conversation outside quests anyway. So I'm happy I tried it as now I'm having a lot of fun 😁

SureAI really likes to go beyond! There are so many surprises and little details, hints that you find and think "interesting" and then you visit another place and it connects with that and you are like "what?!". But even just walking around, the landscape they created is breathtaking. Thanks I'll keep it in mind and check the German part for that!!
