This update requires starting a new game.
As of this release, Enderal SE is compatible with Skyrim SE 1.5.97 and 1.6.640-1.6.1179.

Core changes:
- Remapped two new Enderal races to match Skyrim FormIDs. Patching races is no longer required to convert Skyrim armor mods, some of them are now compatible without any changes.
- The core quest Levelsystem and its scripts, including _00E_QuestFunctions, have been refactored into separate, smaller components to ensure better Enderal moddability (do not confuse with mod compatibility). This is a major change, breaking compatibility with mods, referencing Levelsystem.
- Many core scripts now have internal version control. Versions of all scripts start with 1 and will be incremented individually. When a mod modifies a script with its older revision, user sees a warning.
- All Enderal scripts and used Skyrim scripts have been repacked into self-contained 'E - Misc.bsa'. 'Skyrim - Misc.bsa' is overridden by an empty archive, removing almost 13000 scripts from registration in runtime. To modify Enderal scripts, just install ScriptsEnderal.zip as a mod.
- Lockpicking gold bonuses and skill requirements, hidden stashes, unlock scrolls were reworked from hundreds of attached scripts to centralized controllers.
- Combat music has been reverted to the Skyrim's threat-based algorithm instead of checking only enemy level.
- As part of the ongoing project to make Enderal playable without SKSE, many components were refactored to work without SKSE or scripts at all.

Engine tweaks:
- Pre-rendered cutscenes can be interrupted.
- Due to Bink playback freezing in bordered window, borderless mode is now enforced by default (based on SSE Display Tweaks by SlavicPotato, togglable in EnderalSE.ini).
- The achievement fix is now included. (It serves only aesthetic purpose in Enderal, removing the [M] label from modded savegames.)

(Work in progress) Improved VR support:
- Fixed tree models with removed specularity flags from Enderal VR by sasa2727 - fixes their appearance in VR.
- EnderalSE.dll is now built with Skyrim VR compatibility.
- Added UI lines from Skyrim VR.
- Video playback is automatically disabled on unsupported platforms.

User interface:
- All crucial UI tweaks moved to DLL, including locked dialogs and keeping health bar visible below 100%. Remaining interface files contain only nice-to-have tweaks, making all Skyrim UI overhauls compatible without patching.
- Tab opens quest journal in locked dialogs (like in Enderal LE).
- The hero menu is more responsive, can be opened through the Skills option on Tab and Quick Stats hotkey, added widescreen support.
- Custom map markers can be placed on discovered locations (from powerofthree's Tweaks).
- Disabled the confirmation box to place a map marker on an undiscovered location.
- Added an MCM option to toggle companion health bars.
- SkyUI font is set to 'large' by default.

- A Song in the Silence: fixed the Oorbaya fighting an invisible enemy, fixed explosions firing repeatedly after its dying from a torrent spell.
- Instant dismantling list generation. Extra copies of equipped items can be dismantled as well.
- Due to changes in time calculation with active Slow Time effect in Skyrim SE 1.6+, echo visions started to end prematurely. Durations of the echoes have been updated for 1.6, but the slowdown effect now stays a few seconds too long on 1.5.97. Completed an unfinished vision in The Shards of Order, Part II.
- Added missing critical damage chance to 13 items, more consistent sound detection parameters.
- Updated dagger crit bonuses: minimum multiplier set to 2, fixed missing crit bonus with the Ambush daggers, increased bonus with mystical and unique items.
- Added quick start, allowing to start from the first meditation.
- Reworked autosave system. Timed autosaves are now rotated in their own queue and no longer get overwritten by regular Skyrim autosaves on travel or sleep.
- The Blueprint Collection moved to the MISC section, it is no longer sold in the bank and is added automatically with the first found blueprint.

- Added Butterflies Unchained by runesick. To balance out added difficulty, doubled the amount of spawned moths in A Song in the Silence.
- Ice Claws are now consumed without picking them up (inspired by root1's mod). Eating one shows a corner notification with new carry weight.

- Reduced damage dealt by Lords of the Lost Ones and Dal'Galar's servants by 35%, slightly lowered damage from Elemental Wolves and Mad Rats, removed x10 multiplier from Fire Elemental's punches.

The game will unconditionally show an error and close after detecting Skyrim DLC, Creation Club content, and USSEP. In the main menu, the game will check for loaded Skyrim worldspaces and cells, unconverted map data, and verify integrity of important game objects.

– SKSE is now the only hard requirement for Enderal:
— Refactored _00E_Theriantrophist_AlchemyControl to use vanilla arrays instead of JContainers.
— Moved MCM from the Levelsystem quest and refactored health bars to SKSE events, allowing to play without SkyUI. (There is no alternative way to change Enderal settings yet.)

Now will do the standard damage multipliers for distant attacks: 1.5x normally and 2.5x with “Infiltrator: Heart Shot”.
