Review: “Nehrim" Total Conversion Mod for Oblivion (GameHounds)

The word “mod” is an extreme understatement when it comes to describing Nehrim. Picture an entirely new story, a massive continent constructed by hand with little to no generated forests, new weapons, items and characters, and you have an obscene amount of content worthy of at least a $30 or $40 price tag.

But no, this is still considered a mod and therefore it is being offered as a free 1.6GB download.

The best thing about this mod?
It's free. FREE, SON.

CrzyFooL4802d ago

Nehrim is better than Oblivion. Even if it's in German with subtitles.

F4sterTh4nFTL4802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

GameBryo Engine as Oblivion does. At no point while playing I felt that this Mod is Free. It has better production values than most new games and it is also bug free.

therapist4802d ago

i love you pc!

so many countless 1,000's of free thing made by people with true passion, unlike the assembly line production pace

call of duty 11 anyone, it only comes with one gun, a pistol, all other guns can be bought for $5

bullets are one nickel a piece

the game can only be used for 1 month, after that it biodegrades and you must but another one for $75

it takes place 1,000 years in the future, the earth is a mining colony run by dinosaurs, the only language spoken in the whole game is a series of grunts and clicks which can only be translated by purchasing the "super awesome collectors edition" that contains actual english, Plus you get ...wait for it, you get a full color manual

Send in the ninjas! We have a piracy advocate!

I've just been checking out the Nehrim site and some Youtube videos - it looks like a pretty amazing, and huge, mod.
I only have the PS3 version of Oblivion, but now I'm very tempted to buy the PC version to try this mod - it's only €20 on Steam.

CrzyFooL4802d ago

It's almost insulting to all it a "mod" It's a completely new game in a new world with it's own story, environments and characters with over 50 hours of gameplay. If I had time, I'd be playing it right now.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot8d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator8d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin8d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai8d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0078d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer7d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer7d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
