Apotheosis is a dark fantasy, story-rich, open world expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim set across the 17 Planes of Oblivion, and 'Dreamsleeve', in an echo of a fallen world.
Reawaken, Dragonborn, Ysmir, Dragon of the North; ride forth and reclaim the shattered heart of the world, in a tale of loss, our sense of self, free will and the ultimate price of power.
You start in the Dreamsleeve, in a twisted fallen world, stranded at the far end of time. Heed the call of Kyne, Goddess of Storms and Widow of Shor. Take up arms and overcome the very grips of death. Or is it your fate to become a memory, faded and scattered to the winds of time?
Are we hopelessly bound to our natures, destined to echo the sins of the past, or can we overcome them? What will you sacrifice at the altar of your ambitions?
Features
Master Your Fate
Forge your own path in a compelling, dark, story-rich campaign and side quests inspired by classic RPG design, with a focus on choice and true player freedom; quests with an emotional depth, evolving characters and personal stories.
The world lies sundered. At the far end of time, a struggle unfolds between divine entities split along factional lines. Shape that fate and that of those who cross your path.
Who's lot will you throw your strength behind, and who will you wage war against? Improve your standing with these forces by doing their bidding and bringing ruin to their enemies. Be mindful of what you do as your actions come at a cost.
Overcome Powerful Entities
Take on numerous bosses with challenging yet rewarding gameplay —meticulously designed bosses featuring bespoke custom art, moves, abilities, phases, arenas, backstories, music, and more.
Be wary of your use of violence against the Daedra, as the world will respond in kind. The more Daedric Princes you defeat, the more unstable the world becomes. Exercise this option sparingly.
A plethora of creatures and mobs await, ranging from the corrupted denizens of the fallen world to those who stand guard and carry out the bidding of the Daedra; Namira's Hungers, Meridia's Aurorans, the Watchers and Soul Shriven of Coldharbour, the Seekers and Scryers of Apocrypha, the legions of Dremora under Mehrunes Dagon, and many more.
Sanctuary
Nestled at the center of the Dreamsleeve is the Cathedral of the Final Hour – your home during your adventures.
Grow the Cathedral's flock and unlock new services as you rescue those lost beyond the walls.
Discover rumors, stories, jobs, and potential party members. Showcase loot in your chambers and seek unique keys for unlocking powerful legendary equipment.
Explore A Fallen World
Unearth the remnants of a crumbling world - its story, people - cities, villages and ruins as you roam freely.
Descend into Oblivion. From the fiery realms of the Deadlands to the forbidden library of Apocrypha and its towering stacks of knowledge, the twisted mirror world of Coldharbour, to Azura's Moonshadow and her unmatched beauty, delve into any of the 17 Daedric realms of Oblivion in search for the Heart of the World, with their numerous unique biomes, 3D assets, creatures, stories to unfold, and lives to influence.
Gather Your Party
Go alone, or seek out friends and allies— companions with deep backstories, thoughts, and desires.
Discover their stories and share in their journey as you strive to achieve your goals, but be cautious, as your actions may bring about their downfall.
Enhance your relationship with them through your actions and decisions as you advance alongside them on their journey.
Rally Your Strength
Acquire a myriad unique legendary artifacts, weapons and armors, spells, summons, and more.
Seek out the power of Monoliths that bestow great abilities, but at the cost of a terrible curse.
Harness new powers as you absorb the essence of your fallen enemies. Forge them in a brand new endgame skill tree to evolve your character's strengths along new and unique paths.
Ascend to divinity.
Six are the formulas to heaven by violence.
