Let's NOT be a dragon in Nehrim: At Fate's Edge (ABANDONED!)

DarthBehemoth · Mar 29, 2011

LET'S PLAY

All right let's do this!

To save me some time (And the Codex some reading) I've skipped most of the starter dungeon. Don't worry, this LP picks up when things get interesting...

Let me just sum up what happened so far:
We recieved a strange letter, it told us there was a meeting in an abandoned mine. It also told us we're special. We got attacked by trolls, met CeleBRO, he got killed. And now we're trying to GTFO.

Suddenly a Mage appears...

...And starts roasting the trolls

Let me see your face..

:rpgcodex:

Go bother someone else Patrick

Did you send this letter?

Wel... more or less... I intended to talk to all the talented ones, but it looks like you are the only survivor now.

:sigh: And once again, we're the chosen one

You must believe me that I knew nothing of these beasts! It should have been a safe meeting place, a--

However, since our knowledge must be preserved, we continued our training, defying the chancellor's prohibition. In secret of course, because no outsider is to find out about it.

And so we give a letter to all those who are talented and can peform the art of magic. You recieved one too.

This guy never shuts up does he?

But at least you are still alive. Therefore I will make you an offer now that you cannot refuse. I offer you membership in our order to learn the art of magic.
:yeah:

Please do not refuse. If you do, you will know too much and could endanger the safety of both the Order and yourself, if you know what I mean.

So much for C&C :decline:

I will give you a message. It bears the seal of the chancellor and it says you have been drifted into the army. A sham of course.

If you have any questions, we will discuss them later in the santcum, in safety.

Arrive safetly and do not dwaddle for long. I will be expecting you.

He teleports away and we too, need to get moving

There's the door! I can finally leave this mine!

But who am I?

Meet Tha Codex! Our brave, shirtless Heroin!

Ugliest dagger ever

The writing is actually worse than Oblivion's.

poocolator · Mar 29, 2011

Translated from the German.

But Nehrim is what Oblivion should've been.
I'm still upset, however, that there's only one functional, major city. The others are either petty villages or under siege/abandoned.

bandaid · Mar 29, 2011

Oh, this should be fun.

Will you show some of the dungeons? In this game, they are actually made quite right -- they are unique (as far as a dungeon can go) and somewhat fun.

SoupNazi · Mar 30, 2011

"no, we don't have time for a long talk now" then he spends the next 50 screenshots talking

I'll try to show as much of the game as possible (That includes dungeons, cities etc)

UPDATE 1: WELCOME TO DISNEYLAND

Last update, we got out of the mine and are now in... Disneyland? Seriously, trees? Check. Fucking animals everywhere? Check.

looks like some gate up ahead.

Well fuck

What about being even more friendly?

Hey, when I need brainless chatter, I'll let you know! But now I have more serious things to do!

Since you're in the mood to bitch about, could you tell me what's going on?

Mages! These bastards appeared quite suddenly. They struck as Owald went out to inquire about their affairs

We'll have to wait until reinforcements form Erothin arrive. So stay away from the gate!

As we turn around someone named Porim (I'll leave you to come up with a joke about his retarded name) approached us.

My superior, Merre always has something to do. He is up there in the mine behind me. Shall I take you to him?

And endure more of your bullshit? No thanks, I'll find the way myself.

If you say so, then allright

You know, Porim's kinda retarded

Well, since we are currently stuck here, and unable to leave because of those magicans out there. I figure you'd be interested in a little work. Am I right?

: sigh: I guess I have to

But you won't be able to simply walk in there and kill them with a swing of your sword and expect it to be done!

These things behave somewhat differently than you are perhaps used to from elsewhere.

Then why doesn't he kill the stupid rats himself? V

V

So go on, the tunnel is behind me, to the right.

ITZ HOLE SEALING TIME!

So far, disneyland is full of idiots :decline:

Why don't we just cut your head of, nobody will notice!

Oh dear, Karick seems to have gotten himself into a fix. Such a helmet in certainly uncomfortable.. We could try to make it slippery somehow. Mmmm... maybe if we had some soap it would help!

I think I already know the answer...

Goddammit!

Those mages won't look so though with a hole in their heads!

They fire at the gate, causing the soap to fall off.

Look I've got your soap!

: x Free soap for everyone!

Screw that! GIVE ME THE FUCKING HELMET!

On second thought, maybe this gem isn't so bad after all

THATS THA CODEX SPIRIT MAN!

What do you want this time?

STFU! I need some work

There are some spiders, but nothing we can't handle

However, as we're about to deliver the shovels...

The mages decide it's a good time to send guards flying through the air.

Nehrim 2: Attack of the Mage Clones!

Here are your shovels

To infinity and beyond!

We loot some new goodies off a dead guard. And we're all ready to go!

Brother None · Mar 30, 2011

Those quests sure are...guided. And wordy in all the wrong ways.

Maoar?

DarthBehemoth · Mar 31, 2011

UPDATE 2: WILD BOARS AND OTHER SHIT

Before we leave the mine, we buy a torch from the local merchant. This will make dungeon crawling much easier.

Let's go

Great. I have a boat we can use to get across the lake. Follow me

I think you can hardly call that piece of shit a "boat"

The mages who attacked the mine... surely they were trying to stop the ore mining. The ore here is very important for the chancellor you see.

The battle is terrible. And as if we did not have enough with a full-scale war on our hands, these sorcerers are causing trouble too.

So here we are at the Tirin Abbey. We should probably go our separate ways now. Take care

It means I can finally ditch this emoticon:

Before we explore the abbey, we buy a new sword to replace our ugly dagger

This'll do nicely

What are you raving about?

This is undisputable proof that the germans played too much oblivion...

And if you thought this was bad, then you'd better close your eyes for the next screenshots...

My hand was reaching for the uninstall button at this point...

But as a Codexer, I have to go on :salute:

I'm leaving you dumb retard

Let's give Merzul's letter to Merlin... I mean Aratornias

[Give him the letter]

I'll keep that in mind.

NOTE: No sexual reference

I'll help you. You'll probably die out there anyway, which is a good thing.

Outisde...

Sounds more like consoletards than Goblins to me.

As much as I hate this fag, we're going with Duras

Nehrim's just Oblivion with more retarded dialouges and slightly improved combat

Come back here and die like a Codexer you faggot! :rpgcodex:

Instead of boars though, we encounter giant furries

However as we turn around...

The Wild boar appears (I didn't shot the fight, but it was easy)

You aren't as dumb as I thougt. There was a Wild Boar after all. I killed it

After speaking with this dumbfuck. I see we've got another side quest to complete.

We travel to the island marked on the map

That's it for now!

NEXT UPDATE: We complete the search for our roots!

DarthBehemoth · Apr 2, 2011

UPDATE 3: DUNGEONS AND BURNING VILLAGES

Time to find out more about my past. Let's head to stonefield

It's attention to detail takes makes the game

On our way to stonefield, we encounter two Northrealm soldiers

ITZ A TRAP!

This is an Aeterna. Yes they always have their rape face on.

This is Stonefield, as pretty as a painting

Let's look for Maltin, the smith who made the dagger we hid on the island near the Abbey

That was easy (Damn you quest compass!)

Do you remember this dagger?

Shit. We're a thief

If you give the dagger back to me, I will give you another from my forge; one you can really fight with. And if you like, I can tell you how I lost the dagger at the time.

Agreed

Excellent. Well, it all happened like this; I know that a child had stolen it from me, a fairly small fellow, pah! He was always sitting over there on the logs, watching me while I was forging.

We're not male, so unless we're transgender, we can't be the thief

This is Ledur (What's left of it)

looks like this village is ab... Oh look a pig! * makes pig noises*

I knew this was going to happen. Hometowns are always destroyed in fantasy novels

Let's get the fuck outta here!

Who are those guys?

Found it.

In the dungeons you can really see that SureAI (creators of Nehrim) knew what they were doing

It's getting a bit dark. Time to pull out mah TORCH OF TRUTHINESS!

You always bring me to such lovely locations

Shut up.

Tha Codex doesn't run when she sees a spider (unlike most females on this planet)

Guys, it's time to face facts: German is the new Dragon language

Great, now we look like the wife of Liberty Prime

END OF UPDATE

DarthBehemoth · Apr 3, 2011

This page is getting a bit image heavy. Could you guys help me bump this thread to the next page?

kazgar · Apr 3, 2011

Sure.

I'm wondering how much of the bad writing is translation based or if the german's as derp.

bandaid · Apr 3, 2011

Bumpity bump.

Why are you keeping her shirtless? It's not like Oblivion have good body models anyway.

It's a challenge. I want to finish the game shirtless.

All of it is translated pretty well. (I can somewhat understand german, it's very similiar to dutch) So yeah, Germans are derp and played too much Oblivion

lightbane · Apr 3, 2011

It's what they say: No matter how good the mod is, if the original game is shit the mod will inevitably be shit too, as it happens there. At least the writing is not making my eyes bleed (yet). Also, bump!!!!

Really? Some of this stuff was atrocious and every bit of annoying as Bethesda's attempts at writing (i.e. guy with the boar problem, mage at the beginning). Perhaps the mod is saved by some superb dungeon design. Well, at least I hope it is.

DarthBehemoth · Apr 3, 2011

Thanks for the bumps guys, FRAPSing the new chapter now. It should be online in a few hours

DarthBehemoth · Apr 3, 2011

UPDATE 4: TO THE SANTCUM!

Nice reference to Baldur's Gate there

Oh noes. Itz da cops!

I'll give you 20 coins.

Oh look, another ambush.

The last thing this man will ever see is an half-naked black chick with a sword and a liberty prime helmet.

This is Gilliad. Now we just have to go east to get to the santcum

Ah, I've been ambushed by mr Bean!

Not at the moment

This is the local tavern.

And this is an Aeterna camp. For a bunch of rape-faced and discriminated people, they really can peform well. Maybe I should ask them to peform at my cousin's wedding.

Finally, the santcum

Let's hope so

She never shuts up, does she?

Found it.

Amen.

Suddenly we're teleported to.. someplace else...

Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have accepted those sweets in Gilliad!

DarthBehemoth · Apr 6, 2011

UPDATE 5: YOU CANNOT KILL THE ESSENTIAL

Last time, we reached the shrine, experienced a strange vision. We headed back to tell Vanmiria

There was some crazy vision or something and I'm probably fucked.

We're just errand boys

Before we meet Merzul, it's time for a little history lesson:

Well, before we begin, I need to know under what sign you were born.

Get ready for some old skool RPG hippie crap

Fate is for newfags

Storyfags should already have an erection by now.

Then why hasn't anybody killed them V

V

That's democracy for you. If you don't like it resort to communism

You want the gods... dethroned?

Let's ask about these rape-faced Aeterna

They wil ASSUME CONTROL!

And let's ask about the renegade mages

We'll do that

I wasn't the only survivor?

The name of this gifed one is Kim. Relatively talented, as we have heard. Could however be a slave. Which would complicate the matter. Still, find him and bring him here. We need all the talent we can get.
