Nehrim - An oblivion overhaul

This would be a good place to also spread the word on basically a free game that was recently translated from german to english. Its subtitles, but its worth it.

details for those too lazy to read the FAQ on website, you need the original oblivion game and it has to be patched, this will install everything over it , you do not need expansions or dlc. It even has a loader that will check for updates and autopatch the game before launching. Its basically an entirely new game, just with the same engine.


Download is around 1.6 gigs, but its worth it.
To sum it up , basically what this team has done is rework the entire oblivion so that is resembles more like GOTHIC type gameplay with heavy emphasis on the RPG side; leveling up, training points, experience, enemies have health bars, the game itself is also full of scripted scenes and actual puzzles, the kind of stuff that actually effects the outcome in the world, rather than you just going into a random cave and killing all random mobs that chase after you wailing endlessly.  One mission for example a ranger gives you explosives and wants you to cave in a mine and have it collapse ontop of a goblin infestation.

Want a free game to hold you over until your next anticipated title comes along? Here it is.
