## How to play

* Q: How can this game be played?
	+ A: Due to it being a total conversion mod, based on the game engine of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, you must have either a normal copy or Special Edition, regardless of any DLC. See the platforms for their specific details. Then you can download the game from Nexus, GOG.com or Steam and install it. Enderal itself is free of charge and regarding story and universe, these games take place in different universes.

## Classes

* Q: How many classes are there?
	+ A: There are total of three classes, which are Mages, Rogues and Warriors and are comparable in concept with other RPG's. Then there also two other classes, which can aid any of these class groups. These are Phasmalism and Lycanthropy.
* Q: How can you obtain a specific class?
	+ A: Classes can be obtained by spending Memory points in either of the five memories trees of their classes. Most classes don't have any perks or maluses, unless one fulfills the requirements of investing at ten memory points in two branches which have an affinity. Only one affinity class can be attained and when reaching the requirements for second one, the player character will lose the first one if the second one is selected. This selection should appear on-screen when the requirements are met.

The only guild you can official join is the Golden Sickle, but compared to Skyrim, it's offers even less content, no way of improving your relation and has no perks for certain ranks. The other organisation is the Holy Order, but this is part of the storyline.

## Magic and arcane fever

Q: How do you reduce arcane fever?

* A: There are many ways of reducing Arcanist's Fever. The first method consists of consuming bought or player-made Ambrosia potions. Then there is the talent Blessing of the Discipline, which is one-use talent per day which reduces the fever by 15 percent-points. It's also possible to reduce by smoking Peaceweed with a Smoking Pipe, but the same ingredient can be used for player-made ambrosia potions and is much more potent in that application.

Q: How does the magic system work?

* A: The Magic system works in the same way as in Skyrim. It's possible to dual-wield magic spells, use two different spells or use them with a shield or a weapon. Most spells can learnt by reading a spell tome. The only difference between Skyrim and Enderal is that in Enderal, like in Nehrim, a spell such as Boon has different versions which are stronger the higher the spell rank is. In Skyrim, there could be between two-four spells with a very similair effect and different names. Higher ranks of a spell become available when The Prophet reaches a certain level.

## Marriage and relations

* Q: Can you marry with NPC's in Enderal?
	+ A: You cannot marry with any NPC in Enderal, but's possible to romance with Jespar Dal'Varek or with Calia Sakaresh in Enderal.

* Q: Do I need to play Nehrim: At Fate's Edge first in order to understand the storyline of Enderal?

	+ A: The secret ending can be unlocked by completing the quest A Drop in the Ocean. In the quest, the player character has to obtain a Dreamflower and use this ingredient to make an un-purified dreamflower potion themselves.

* Q: Is there a way to play Enderal after finishing the storyline?
