Nehrim #5: A Journey to the Past

Hello, everybody and welcome to my brand new blind playthrough of Nehrim – At Fate’s Edge(#Let’sPlayNehrim,#Blind,#Nehrim). Nehrim is a total conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(#Oblivion). It creates a brand new and entirely unique storyline that takes place in a new universe which has nothing to do with Tamriel or the Elder Scrolls series whatsoever and merely uses the game as a framework to build upon. So, it is essentially a free game that you can play if you own Oblivion.

Now, there are a few things I want to inform you of just so you’re aware of this. Nehrim is a German mod and while it does have English subtitles, the voiceover is done entirely in German. I will try to read out the dialogue when I can but I may fail on occasion so it is advisable for you to read the subtitles religiously to know what is going on(#GermanMod).

This series will be more of a loose roleplay than my standard fare with RPGs as this series is blind so I don’t know what kind of character I will be doing beyond the fact that I will be a good character. Not to mention that you start out having something of a predefined backstory which makes roleplaying a bit trickier. Not impossible, mind you, just more complicated.

As for what kind of character I will be doing, as of this moment I am planning on a spellsword/battlemage type character. I originally wanted to do a thief but since this is my first playthrough of Nehrim, I want to experience it in its default state rather than modding it. And since Nehrim (as far as I know) still uses the vanilla Oblivion mechanics for things like stealth and I’ve seen enough of Oblivion’s psychic guards to last a lifetime. So we’re steering clear of stealth characters for now.

And just in case it isn’t clear already, Nehrim is the ONLY mod I am running for this playthrough. Literally nothing else. Just wanted to make that clear. We clear on that? Good. Moving on, then.

This series will also be unscheduled. I will upload videos wheneve..
