ES4: Oblivion - Nehrim Interview @ Planet Elder Scrolls

by Dhruin, 2010-07-20 09:42:08

This one is from a week or so back but serves as a good reminder, with the English version of Nehrim: At Fate's Edge due around August.  The German release of the large-scale total conversion has apparently been well received; here's a snip from Planet Elder Scrolls' interview:

What is your favorite location, quest, character, situation, etc. in Nehrim? (Multiple opinions/answers would be appreciated)

Benjamin: I love the scripted events in the quests, for example when different characters talk to each other and thus proceed the storyline. Speaking of certain situations would spoil a lot, therefore I will only say that there is a load of such events until you see the outro. It indeed feels a bit like Half-Life, because it all happens inside of the game and the player is standing admidst the characters (or is sitting in a moving object – thinking of Half-Life again? We can't deny the similarities, but this game certainly is not the worst one you can get ideas from.). Anyway, my most favorite moment takes place in the very last sidequest that I implemented. You are looking for a vanished person, and the only one who can help you wants you to rescue "his Waltraud" (that's a German female name) from some soldiers. Finally, when it is revealed who Waltraud really is, you'll have a very funny moment – that's pure slapstick.
