Excuse the gloom... but none may know of this Daggerfall thread

idk about stealth stealth, but magic stealth with true invisibility, true chameleon and few magic items improving stealth skill means pretty much no enemy will target you first

you can enchant bunch of same side effects like take damage from holy places to get free points easily
btw sphere of negation on strike one shots everything if you are high enough level, but yeah, at deadric + access to enchanter it is pretty much over, there is nothing in the game that can threaten you by that time

Main problem with sneak is that line of sight doesn't matter when it comes to detection in Daggerfall, and once a monster "sees" you they won't seem to lose you until you go so far they are unloaded. So to use sneak effectively you have to be sneaking slowly through the entire massive dungeons from start to finish.

Invisibility is actually really interesting though, because it has two versions: "True" and "Normal". True Invisibility doesn't break on combat like Normal does. Anything you attack will suddenly be able to see you but you'll remain undetected by everything else. There are exceptions however: all the high level undead and daedra bypass invisibility and will still detect you, so the tried and true "run to the sigil stone while invisible" strategy in Oblivion to take care of those pesky Oblivion gates won't work so well in most Daggerfall dungeons.

One final note that will be surprising if you're used to the later games: sneaking doesn't do anything for NPCs since they don't "detect" you: crime checks are all dice rolls based solely on your stats at the time of the crime. So don't waste your time trying to sneak or crouch in a shop or avoid the gaze of the merchant. Even if you're in a completely empty house, trying to open a locked door inside or looking through a box in a closet can still trigger guards to spawn, as if every door and container in Daggerfall is equipped with magic alarms. The one exception to this is store shelves, which you can never be caught stealing from as long as you do it after closing hours. A favorite tactic of thieves back in the day was to just wait in a shop until it closes and then reload the game to clean out the shelves.
Guards can't see you when you're invisible though, so if you cast invisibility before committing a crime, you can just walk away unscathed. As long as the guards never hit you, you aren't really "caught" so your reputation is undamaged.

My stealth is like 60 and not even a minor skill and my whole thing is I wear plate armor and run up to guys full speed and hit them with my sword. I don't really get it. It's one of my highest skills for some reason.

Literally any time you come within detection range of an enemy you make a stealth check.

Yeah it's weird, basically any time you're around an enemy you're training your stealth skill. Even if you aren't sneaking. Sneaking just applies a bonus to your chance to evade detection, but you still have a chance even if you're running at full speed.

I want to make one hit kill whit an axe or sword any advice?

Oh okay. Well I'll take the free backstabs then.

> Unable to cast magic in daylight
How can you play without jumping like a retard in cities?

easiest way is backstabbing, it does triple damage of your normal strike, so just use invisibility and stealth and hit them unaware
without backstabbing your best bet is redguard character with deadric daikatana, expertise in longblade, bonus vs all enemies and enchant potent vs all and maybe some damaging spell on strike (that works) on daikatana

also sphere of negation on strike has chance to one hit kill, but needs very high level to have actually reasonable chance, so really end game or real grind

> also sphere of negation on strike has chance to one hit kill, but needs very high level to have actually reasonable chance, so really end game or real grind
Hand of Decay has a higher chance to insta-kill iirc.

immunity to paralysis is bugged, it does not work, you will still get paralyzed, so dont bother, use free action spell or item enchanted with free action when held
rapid healing doesnt matter, you will be waiting for mana anyway
spell absorbtion works only for your spells (might also work for enemies aoe spells, but not sure), definitely doesnt work as in vanilla df, take that into consideration
immunity to fire is, well, useless, and expensive
btw you can get easy free points by taking damage in holy places, forbidden steel, elven, adamantium and few others

>the exact same conversations about bethesda are repeating themselves right now
>the guy wants elder scrolls to be more like ultima when daggerfall was new. now people want elder scrolls to be more like daggerfall

What do these faggots want????? Because the only thing I can logically conclude from their complaints is that they will only ever be truly satisfied when a TES game is basically a hyper-believable world simulation that produces living breathing fantasy societies that is populated with actual natural language processing NPC agents that have human imitating intelligence which enables them to seek out goals, build relationships with other NPCs, and concretely change the game world which at the same time is managed by a high powered advance AI planner that's able to dynamically produce events, story lines, and quests to directly engage the player with.

Use the schock spell retard

The gameplay is great, the rpg elements like the variety of skills and items: great. But the rest of the game is hot garbage. Quests constantly break or lead you to the wrong destinations or people. Plus they all have fucking time limits for some reason so you can never complete all of them. Also quests are randomized and have objectives similar to Skyrim's "go to X dungeon and kill draugr". And finally dungeons have horrible layouts anyway.

In theory this could all be fixed with mods.

What backstory you got? I got the guy with wizard parents that gets a weird staff and saves people near the imperial city with it one

Just lure them to fight each other then, if you have a spell use that too, kill some other enemies and they might have silver weapons, there's multiple ways to deal with this.
But what is the big deal of having to run from a dangerous enemy every once in a while, why are you so hung up on having to kill every single enemy?

>all quests are timed
Yeah and they give you an unreasonably long time to complete them. I hope you're not running around collecting ten quests at once like some retard. I just got a quest where I have 52 fuckind days to finish it and it's a four day trip there and back.

Hey me too, enchantress mom and warlock dad

Times seem really inconsistent; I got a quest where I had to be a fucking tour guide to some faggots all over the region and only had a few days to complete it.

Knights don't have spells, retard.

I do feel you there, but I've yet to hit a quest where I'm like "Oh shit this gives me no time at a." However, I've never done the tour guide thing. I even completed two quests to clear two different dungeons with 12 days required, both across the province from one another.

turns out literally none of the levers i activated mattered at all and i just had to pull one of the random hundreds of torches in the dungeon to open a secret path leading me to the objective within 60 seconds from the entrance
whats the point of exploring these dungeons if they are literally all 99.999% filler and if you know where to go you can get to the objective in 30 seconds through some cryptic bullshit

You might have to do something to activate them. Not sure if they're always possible to activate.

Nvm, was using mountains and hills, that was causing issues.

Oh yeah, you have to choose one

Additionally, what the fuck was the point of mountains and hills, those bitchshit hills are ten times smaller than the landscape i got from distant terrain.

Yeah, not to the point of panic, but I find them extremely unpleasant in vidya and irl both although I can deal with them, I'd just rather not unless I absolutely have to.

He doesn't people to know he subscribes to khajiit porn

Yeah that's the funny thing about the way that works: it teleports you to a quest location inside that dungeon. This seems foolproof at first glance since quest locations were all selected by hand to be in reasonable locations, but they were placed where they were by designers mainly expecting quest items and enemies to spawn in them, not for the player himself to suddenly appear there. So sometimes they're inside cages, because hey why not it's kind of interesting when the guy you need to kill or talk to or item you need to collect is in a conspicuous location like that. Then some quest designer doesn't account for it and then this happens.

As a result that specific scenario can happen more than you'd expect. I had it happen a few times with a mages guild quest in the original game and twice with a merchant quest. Always good to set a recall point beforehand, but if you didn't then with enough jump/crouch/climb jiggling you can eventually clip out of the top of the cage. May or may not still be possible in DFU since the physics are a little different, but console commands can take care of that.

Considering that he said he made "half the levels" for Daggerfall you might unironically be able to personally blame Todd for that.

Yeah, the remake site tells people to use the default, and default has no fixes.

The monetary rewards for quests are always shit compared to what you get in dungeons, the real reason you quest is for the reputation. In that respect fedex quests are much more efficient at building rep than dungeon crawls since you'll get the same amount of rep whether it's a quest thatakes 5 minutes or 5 hours.

Mara and Stendarr seem like the only worthy temples going for their special effect

Dungeons are separated by height levels (level you are is clear on the map, the other levels are transparent), so corridors that go up or do usually take you to another level
So just explore your current level until you have no choice but to go up or down

Well in that case by "reputation" I mean reputation with whoever you're doing quests for. Every faction tracks reputation individually and it ranges from -100 to 100. Think like Disposition from Morrowind/Oblivion but applied to factions instead of to individual characters. Not to be confused with the "reputation" you see on your character sheet in Morrowind or "fame" in Oblivion, which are single values that apply globally.

The main quest characters have their own reputations of you as well and those can be relevant in the main quest, but you don't need to grind them. Unless you fuck things up big time somehow the main quest already provides you with all the reputation you need with the appropriate factions to continue doing it. Ways to "fuck it up" could involve failing a main quest or lowering the reputation of a main quest character too much accidentally from side quests or waiting an extraordinarily long time between between main quests.
Reputations all slowly slide to 0 over long periods of time and every quest success and failure will not just affect your rep with the questgiver but also their allies and enemies. A lot of those allies and enemies are randomly rolled every so often so it's difficult to predict just how things will turn out, but it suffices to say that if you're doing the main quest at a reasonable pace it's extremely unlikely that you'll ever get in a situation where you need to somehow gain reputation with someone to advance.

Daggerfall's world is huge but static
A time-limit helps make it seem "alive"

Chesterwark is nice, not too big and not too small, most of the shops are grouped together in a central location and the mages's and fighter's guilds are close together too. I like getting my shit repaired at the fighter's guild while I sleep there for 24 hours. The only real downside to the place is that it's landlocked.

None may know... what about that joker with the torch, huh? You gonna have him killed? Some benevolent ruler you are m8, I didn't vote for ya.

it's wicksly's guard but I thought each dungeon was supposed to be one of a kind?

You don't vote for an emperor!

Isn't that supposed to be Chancellor Ocato?

The dungeons are the same for everybody

It's based on the casters level, so just opendoor with console like my scummy ass and then realize there's fucking nothing there

Wow there actually was nothing, just 3 levers that damaged me and one that activated an elevator to go to the room I was in a minute ago.

Absolute unit.

Truthfully, I've started opendoor commanding every locked door. I've bashed enough doors with my weapon that led to nothing.

Not yet. DFU still uses the base game files for everything and since those unofficial fixes patch the base game files they also wok on Unity. I believe the goal is to have all of those fixes part of DFU though.

Your level affects the likelihood of seeing more dangerous enemies and higher tier items.

Pretty much all dungeon blocks have a bunch of floating rooms though. Not all of them are meant to be accessible every time. It depends on what the dungeon generates for you. Its only a bug if your quest item generates into a room thats inaccessible.

Dungeons aren't generated on the fly, Bethesda generated them once. We all have the same dungeons and they're exactly the same in Unity as they were in vanilla, since Unity is just reading them from the original game files.

I'm sure you've been through it by now but just in case, here's how to get to the top of that particular gap in from the bottom. It wasn't an elevator after all, just one of those hellholes of a dungeon block with tons of gaps and trap doors in a big maze.

Just in case anyone ever had trouble grasping exactly what people mean when they talk about "dungeon blocks" and what their extent is, you should know that everything in this webm is a part of one single block, and we didn't even explore half of it here. It's no exaggeration to say that each block is effectively a complete dungeon in and of itself. They're all premade and most Daggerfall dungeons are constructed by placing 2-5 of them next to each other and then populating certain marked locations with random enemies and loot.

Speedyboi

I had this before. It's the warrior or whatever because the game doesn't allow you to attack regular NPCs so they had to use one that you could attack for that quest. It's pretty funny and stupid how they handled it.

I also agree with him. I honestly don't think Bethesda has ever made a good game and Skyrim is the only playable TES.

Any recommended mods to use at the moment, or is it still too early on to do anything with them yet?

There's no warrior in the residence designated by the quest, only one single NPC which isn't the NPC in the quest. I've tried randomly cast sleep and it didn't work either. Just another shitty bug.

I haven't bothered with gameplay balance stuff yet

I've done about four of those quests without issue. You actually don't even need to cast the spell, just equip it.

I'd say enhanced sky is absolutely necessary. Something about the way the vanilla skybox shifts when you look around is nauseating

why hasn't anyone made an HD sky re-texture yet

I like the sky but not the mountains. Also it spinning around with you is kinda weird and vomit inducing.

There's the Enchanced Sky mod but it's too HD. I'd prefer a proper skybox in the lowres style like the original but without the fixed mountains.

They need to do the sky like this, it looks pretty good here, it meshes better with the overall graphics

Your physical stats and skills are jacked up to ridiculous levels, even outside of werewolf form. It's stupidly powerful. The only downside is having to kill a peasant every other week or your health will drop to single digits, and being unable to loot stuff while in werewolf form and both of those disadvantages can still be negated with a specific artifact.

I made a wizard and I feel like I got fucked. I'm lvl 2, I have like 90 int, the X3 int magicka advantage and killing stuff with spells is completely unviable compared to spamming my obsidian dagger while wearing heavy armor.

What's the point.

That's odd, I have an easier time one shooting things with spells than swords

Magic is overpowered as hell. With high destruction, regular fireballs and spell absorption you can kill an ancient lich in a second.

Do you rest every couple of fight or something?

I have 25 magicka and feel the pain of trying to kill skeletons with sharp weapons. Mage is a good build.

it's a boomer game user, if you dont have nostalgia goggles it isnt worth your time. hide these threads.

So DFU doesn't have fixes. So if I reinstall daggerfall and apply the fixes will it corrupt my save file?

Doesn't everyone do that? Don't explore until all your bars are maxed

Have the DFU fixes done something about the chance for the Ebony Dagger, or am I just getting unlucky? I re-created a character from the original a couple of times that was offered the choice originally but never saw the question pop up. Is it just random and I'm getting unlucky? I read that it won't show up for certain builds that are too close to the pre-made characters but like I said it's been offered for the same build before

Holy shit the game must be even more tedious for you. No I sure as fuck don't rest every couple of fight. Most enemies never hit you if just move back and forth.

Finally got out of the first dungeon, at the Mage's Guild currently. How do I go about spellcrafting, exactly? I see a lot of shit that I have no clue what it does.

roads

Is there a way to see a numerical value showing you how much magika you have? Useless blue bar tells me nothing, I have no idea what my max magika is, except knowing it's too low to cast anything.

Spellbook has the value in the top right

I got it instantly without having to do a single quest, but I made character that's loved by scholars by 4 points and hated by the underworld

Cheers m8.

I have the spellmaker, I'm just confused as to how it works exactly.

clicking on INT on your character sheet also tells you

The clouds look a bit too cartoony but the nightsky is great. I wish someone would make something similar for DFU.

This with the retro rendering mode is pure soul.

You could try this though the default settings are kinda stupid and overtuned.

Also make your own spells. Shock for example is garbage with a huge damage range.

I don't think the unofficial fixes that come with DaggerfallSetup corrupt your save but I'm not 100% on that. Maybe make a backup and try. You definitely want those unofficial fixes though. They fix stuff that isn't yet fixed by DFU.

youtube.com/watch?v=IpeettBUmF4

Some others have complained about it in the threads and meanwhile I tried making a bunch of characters and I always get the question. I guess you could try reinstalling both Daggerfall and DFU?

Most of the stuff actually gives you a brief description of what it does if you add it from the list.
On the bottom right you can swap the element of your spell and how it targets. Note that targeted AoE spells can also hit you if you target them too close to you.

So, for anons playing this for the first time; how are you enjoy the dungeon sounds?

I'm guessing that this kind of "fluff" feature will be implemented in the alpha. Up until now his main objective was to implement all the features from vanilla.

This guy is right. Dungeons in Daggerfall are the most boring, mundane, tedious and bland areas possible. It's just long empty corridors with occasional copy-paste rooms that have nothing inside. I can't wait for someone to mod the shit out of it and add more variety.

Yes, Julianos temple, very handy for non-mages.

Can somebody explain to me what the fuck was going on with the torch in that intro?

I made a new character after I had learned the basics and how to not fuck up making the character. Turned on smaller dungeons and I've been having a blast. They're just long enough that I often spend exploring the rest of the dungeon even if I find the quest objective early. In comparison with the setting turned off I was usually so tired by the time I found the quest object that I just turned in the quest, saved the game and quit.

it's easier to find an ancient lich, just go the Mannimarco's crib.

are there any mods for this that untangle all of the clunk and not make it feel like you're piloting an airplane?

Where are the save files stored? My save folders are empty.

Should I choose long blade or short blade (as a mage)?

Are the bugged skills fixed in the Unity port?

Am I fucked if I can't kill a single skele at lv2?

I don't mean the size, the large dungeons could be fine if they had anything interesting inside them. Not just empty boring corridors and same rooms without anything in them. Each dungeon looks like exact clone of another, just randomized layout. Those dungeon names are indicating they are some castles, ruins, places where some monsters live etc yet they all are so empty inside. Add monster lairs and monster stuff, furniture, statues, decorations, junk, random objects lying around, etc and it will look more interesting and lively. Currently it's just empty corridors/rooms with occasional torch and very rarely some table/chair. Gets really boring after 10th dungeon you do.

Not really. I found Daedra Lord few times at magic item seller and stole it because it costs 800k gold.

Magic and creating magic items is fucking OP. It's so fucking OP that I feel like a cheater after decking my character in fully custom magic items that literally turned me into a immortal god of murder. But it takes a lot of time and millions of gold to get there.

Saves are in
C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall Unity\Saves\
They are simple JSON files and very easy to edit if you want to cheat.

Long Blade is the best weapon in the game (Daedric Dai Katana) but chose whatever suits your character.

What bugged skills? Everything seems to be working so far.

The wiki says dodge is bugged and actually just decreases your chance to hit.

And this guy says paralysis immunity is bugged which would be a bummer.

Do daggers attack faster? Or are they only good because they have more consistent damage and weigh less?

Also will spell absorption not work if I have magic immunity?

Paralysis immunity is not bugged, I have it and never been paralyzed once. Dunno about dodging, probably tricky to test it in-game.

No, but you can edit your save game files in notepad as this guy said

UH OH.........STINKYY!!!!!

Clean it up Jannie

Dodge was fixed.

Not sure about paralysis.

Unsure about attack speed between weapon types. I think it's just based on your SPD stat. The benefit of short blades really is the early access to Ebony Dagger which is quite fucking OP for a long time.

I've seen people complain about spell absorption not working from enemy spells but working from your own AoE spells. I'd imagine magic immunity would disable absorption but I'd have to go digging in the code to be sure.

Also from what I can tell AGI and LUC don't affect your to hit except for the part where they're compared against enemy's AGI and LUC. It seems that the AGI "+ to hit" modifier is never actually used.

Biggest modifiers to hit are your weapon skill and material modifier (+10 starting from Elven). If you're playing a battlemage/spellsword/nightblade type of character it might be beneficial to make buffs for AGI and LUC and similar debuffs for the enemy to make it easier to hit shit.

Is stealing from boxes and shit just a random chance if someone will notice it?Is stealing anything even worth it with low stealth and pickpocket?

I just want more dungeon blocks. Dungeon crawling is fun but they start repeating themselves pretty fast.

I did this.
My daggerfall character is the same person as my arena character, since that is how it was intended originally, with save transfers and all.
My Morrowind character is an unrelated Dunmer, my Oblivion character is nephew of my daggerfall character. Before he disappeared in the Shivering isles he sired a bastard with one of the blades, and my Skyrim character is a descendant from that bloodline.
My TES VI character will be unrelated redguard probably if it's in hammerfel.
Autism like this is nice.

You are inside of a fake heart of lorkhan. I'll let you guess yourself.

The guards reacting to threats sounds like a decent idea. I will look into it.

That's not an idea, that's common sense

A decent idea for a DFUnity mod, you autist

You need to level destruction a lot, it lowers the magicka cost. Then you need to start hoarding potions of power somehow.

I'm not sure about the technical details but it seems to limit or lower the amount of blocks dungeons generate with. With it dungeons seem to go from 3 hour slogs to like 20-40min adventures. Haven't had a single dungeon break using it, yet but it is probably not included in the settings menu for a reason.

are there monsters roaming the wilderness, or is it just empty? This looks super comfy.

It was before serious youtube HEMA weapon experts. Back then everyone thought that katanas were metal lightsabers with souls of great samurai warriors inside.

As the modding community becomes larger hopefully the world becomes more of a living entity outside of cities and dungeons.

Not currently, but warm ashes(the mod) apparently adds some encounters to the wilderness. Although we're gonna have to wait a bit for a mod that truly populates the wilderness, maybe even spawns in some herds and whatnot.

I really hope a mod that connects all locations through roads comes out soon because it's immersion breaking as fuck

elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/City_Guard_(Daggerfall)

It says here
> If other hostile enemies, such as giant bats, come in range, they will attempt to kill them.

But I (and other anons here) have experienced otherwise. Is this just untrue, or a bug in the Unity version?

There's a mod that autowalks you to places and speeds the game up instead.

I've done about 5 to 10 dungeons with it enabled and had no issues.

after I do my practice on this duke nukem guild Im making I want to do custom mounts like senche and guar

That mod just feels like a glorified loading screen imo. With a smaller landmass, the game could also be filled with unique modded locations and encounters that you could find naturally.

Maybe it's a bug. I can confirm I've been chased into town by spiders and giants and everyone walks around not giving a fuck.

Well if it's a bug I guess there's no point making a mod to make the guards respond, since the DFUnity guy should really be the one doing it.

>senche and guar
You think it might be possible to add new weapon types to the game, or is that unnecessary?

This landscape really lack croplands. Looks very unrealistic.

yea. Ive been posting my edits here and there
I have most of the sprites and textures done. Just need to pick through that archeologist mod some more to figure out a little more on designating new npcs and all that.
im pretty sure. There is a feature to dump code then just copy paste and modify as needed and throw it in the appropriate folder.
Im still reading into it though.

Maybe that works like that if you enable enemy infighting. But that also makes monsters in dungeons kill each other so you may pretty much enter a room full of dead bodies when exploring a dungeon.

You lose the thrill of finally spotting your quest objective after fighting your way through a dungeon. You never know if you'll find it 10 minutes in or 1 hour, making the dungeon smaller kinda kills that uncertainty.

Well I've had enemy infighting happen, but not guards responding to hostiles. So as the other user said, this must be a bug.

Elder Scrolls wikis (including UESP) often have people reporting things they "remember" as facts. They don't actually test these things out, they just think back to their experiences 10 years ago, think "oh yeah, I remember something like this happening..." and state it as truth. Even if they remembered incorrectly.

Often they'll also try to "guess" things they don't know because it just seems logical to them. "I wonder what happens if guards see you attacked by a monster? Well, in the other games, they attack the monster, that's probably what they do here, it makes sense." And it seems logical and sensible so they put it without testing it. But it turns out it's completely wrong. But nobody ever tests it, so people spread it around the internet like it's just truth, and eventually everyone believes it.

I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

It's strange how abundant daedric weapons and armor become but weird how rare silver armor is

>PER 100
SLUT

based xzar quoter

I had tons of silver stuff available in shops on lower levels. But I've NEVER EVER seen a single piece of Orcish armor.

She's so slutty that when selling I'm sometimes able to get more gold than the item is worth from merchant.

Good luck, never got into arena myself due to the shitty render distance.

I tested spell absorption for science and so anons dont waste points for it or base their build believing it works like in vanilla df (it doesnt).

>absorb spells custom class talent absorbs only your own aoe spells
>absorb spells enchant on items sometimes absorbs enemy aoe spells
>spell absorption spell seems like it absorbs even non aoe spells, but not reliably even though I made 100%+ chance spell in spellmaker
tldr do not base your build on absorbing enemy spells to fill your mana pool like you used to in vanilla df, remember every ancient lich or vampire boosting your mana to full? i do, not happening in dfu, expect maybe 30 mana from ancient lich if you are lucky and using spell absorption enchant or spell (not custom class talent)
take spell absorption talent if you like to play destruction based mage who shoots fireballs in the face of enemies all the time, you can refill your mana with some magic item that shoots ice storm, fireball or sth
for hybrids that use mostly long blade and use magic as support Im not sure it is worth it

I have Orcish greaves and a left pauldron. Silver gauntlets and greaves is the only silver armor I have and have seen. The weapons for the two are everywhere though.

so was Daggerfall messed up or did Daggerfall Unity mess it up?

is Unity just really bad? I've noticed a lot of Unity games are horrible performing.

Yes i am. Guess i'll have to disable it

View Distance mod has a better option anyway.

The general issue with freely available engines is that they come unoptimized to make them easier to use, so you're expected to make your own optimizations at the end. Most people just don't, or in the case of a game still being developed like DFU, it just hasn't happened yet.

It's not optimized for a particular game or genre out of the box, so most people don't bother with making their games run good on it.

in vanilla daggerfall it was definitely working as intended as there is even a premade class that depends on absorbing mana from enemies (cannot regen mana) - sorceror

>lower cycles
>music glitches out, game becomes sluggish
>raise cycles
>NPC's walk like they're on crack
Still can't decide if it's because it's a Bethesda game and it ran like ass on computers of the day, or because it's DOSBox.

No its just lazy/incompetent developers.

Before I make this spell, is regenerate a shit spell effect? I'm making a spell that at most should regen 35 health per round for 7 or 12 rounds. It's really cheap for both gold cost and spell point cost, but I don't know if there's something wrong with the effect or not.

What faction gives the best dungeon quests?

thats how games back then were, game speed was tied to cpu speed

it does what it says, do you need it? my personal experience is that when I needed healing it was burst healing and not slow regen, but your needs might be different

>no DFU mod for Arena's plot and worldsize, but Daggerfall's gameplay and big titties
Feels bad.

My current max health is probably 60, so I have a chance per round to regen half my health. I just didn't know if it was a good idea or not since it seems too good of a thing for 344 gold cost and 67 spell cost.

Good Luck, I tried to get into Arena myself but I got filtered by the shitty controls and low fps.
Also that slow-ass fade effect everytime you opened a menu or talked to someone was irritating.

You can USE Retro mode with the Handpainted models user

Do you lose rep with guilds over time? I just noticed my rep with thieves guild is lower than before.

You're going to think I am trolling you but I promise I am not, I may actually just be retarded please hear me out;

I cannot progress through the introductory tutorial, I kill the rat just barely and then the bat kills me.
My attacks are having probably a 10% hit rate against the rat and I have never successfully hit the bat. I swing at them but it doesn't count as a hit.

Please help me, what am I doing wrong?
I am in no way attacking the game, I must be doing something wrong and I am asking for an explanation of that.
Thank you.

HELLO MORTAL, why are you hero types always lost in the sea of adventure?

>no Arena Unity yet

So if you're having problems with hit rate, it might be due to your stats or skills. From what I noticed in the character creation, I believe AGL actually effects your hit rate, so having a low number in that stat might be fucking you over. On the other hand, what weapon proficiency did you pick? If you picked something like axes or blunt weapons, you start with the iron longsword regardless, which is obviously a long blade. Using a weapon you're not proficient with will fuck you over bad.

Your class is probably shitty and you didn't take ebony dagger from background questions. Ebony Dagger helps a lot in completing starting dungeon.

Fucked up your char gen probably.

post sheet

Are you standing still while fighting or are you trying to juke the enemy into attacking by getting in and out of it's range?

post your character
don't pick the prefab classes, instead choose to make a custom one

I prefer the look of the game without retro mode though, but I think the handpainted models are a bit too detailed for Daggerfall.

If you install Tedious Travel there are

Highly recommended btw. Max comfy to sit back, drink some tea and watch your horse gallop through miles of wilderness.

Hopefuly when it's all complete it blends in better

Thanks for the (You)s.
That last dungeon was actually pretty easy, apart from last rooms lich hell. Even a single lich could fuck me up and there were loads of them. I didn't even feel bad for unsheathing my trusty Dagger of Passwall, I wasn't doing that shit. Passwall is a fun spell that destroys walls, meaning you can dig through dungeons. I just dug my way to the last hallway. No regrets, the game gave me the tools to beat it and I used them. I am the Shovel(Dagger) Knight.
I admit, it was pretty rough getting used the game. The old graphics, short draw distance, slow menus and how hard the tutorial dungeon was made it tough. But after playing it for a while I actually got into the game and started even enjoying it. I'm not probably gonna play it again, but for a single playthrough it was fun.

What happens if you go across the sea? Is there a ship transition?

Same, I tried Daggerfall now when the Unity port came out last week and had fun for a couple of hours before I realized that most of these vast lands are just dead with nothing in them, the NPCs are many but they are all boring, the dungeons as well. While Morrowind lacks several nice features Daggerfall had like werewolves, horses etc the world is so much better and enjoyable to explore. I ended up reinstalling Morrowind again after trying Daggerfall.

Hmm, I've never tried actually. Have a look at the mod page.

Games that don't allow to become an immortal god of murder with enough effort invested are SHIT SHIT SHIT

AND FUCK BALANCE, CHEESE IS DELICIOUS

That excuse has more holes than this fine slice of Gorgombert!

Why aren't more games using live-action cutscenes ?
If all games would use them it would suck ass sure, but aside from Cocks&Cunts no game is using them.

Orsimer race
>nexusmods.com/daggerfall/mods/3

Back in 90's every fucking game had them. There were even adventure games with everything recorded with actors and stuff. Or on-rails western shooters with everything recorded with real actors.

>all stats at 100
>all primary and major skills enhanced to 300+
>run so fast that I can traverse entire city in few seconds
>jump higher than tallest buildings
>one swing of enchanted weapon releases spells and drains enemy's health and usually instakills them
>can be attacked by anything and not get hit once
>resist or reflect all spells cast at me
>can fly at will
Feels good. They should make temples dedicated to worshiping me.

Just tested spell reflection spell, it reflects spells back to caster, you dont get damaged, but can get paralyzed (along with caster, in my case mostly ancient liches). Sometimes they kill themself.

Also tested spell resistance spell, it can make you completely immune to all spells. Including your own spells cast on your character.

most important thing for to hit is weapon quality, second most important thing is weapon skill, then there is a big gap after which comes agility and luck

I played the original, yes it's common.
I fought a dungeon full of werewolves and spiders, it pissed me off since I had to reload everytime I got paralyzed since the spider would slowly kill me no matter what

Does Immunity to Magic (class creator advantage) gives you immunity to paralysis also? What does immunity to magic do anyway?

You didnt have any spells/potions?

The wiki says the temple of the god of knowledge and the mage guilds are enemies. Will I lose reputation with both if I pick both?

Initially but you can work it back. Inter-faction reputation loss is pretty minor iirc

no and I think paralysis is broken, probably going around resistances because of some bug

example
>spell resistance makes you immune to every spell including your own, but you still get paralyzed by lichs paralyze spell
>spell reflection reflects silence back at deadroth and you dont get silenced, but while it reflects paralyze back to lich, you do get paralyzed
>not to mention that paralysis immunity flat out doesnt work
at current state you might as well take critical weakness to it and then spam free action

magic is pretty much every spell that isnt fire/cold/shock/poison based

oh btw spell reflection reflects your own spells at you, but Im not sure if it increases their duration

I just tried and I started running across the ocean.

I am doing a no fast travel.
It's empty as fuck, you may find an enemy once or twice but it's rare, it truly feels like traveling, miles and miles of nature and nothingness, the most exciting thing that happens is when the terrain changes or you find a little town or cool dungeon.

I played as a ranger, my axe and bow where my only weapons and I didn't get any potions because I was hanging around in small villages and its a long way to the big cities

The same way you do, they look at a map and start truckin m.youtube.com/watch?v=pafY6sZt0FE

There is a mod that does exactly that and it's coming soon.

I agree, no roads makes absolutely zero sense.

ahh well, hopefully they implement that in the future
would make a 10/10 mod

>don't save for an hour
>90% done with looting a dungeon
>open a door
>a fucking vampire jumps out and instakills me despite me being at full health
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

F9 to quick save my man

f9 nigga, f9

If you do quests for them both you'll gain rep for them both, just slower than if they weren't enemies.

So if faction A and B both consider each other enemies:
Doing a quest for faction A will give you +10 rep with A and -5 rep with B.
Doing a quest for faction B will give you +10 rep with B and -5 rep with A.
Net result: +5 rep with both for two quests.

However since you're talking about the School of Julianos here, you should know that temples are a weird exception compared to other factions because your reputation with the actual temple doesn't matter at all. Instead you gain reputation mainly with the god they worship directly when you do quests, and it is your reputation with that god that determines your max rank too.

So when you do a quest for The School of Julianos, you actually gain +10 rep with Julianos and then +5 rep with The School of Julianos by association, instead of the other way around.
"The School of Julianos" considers The Mages Guild an enemy, but "Julianos" does not. This means you won't lose any rep at all and there's nothing to worry about. You'll progress at the normal rate in both factions.

I assume that actually buying a boat will fix it, but I don't have enough money for that yet

in a scale of 1 to 10, how good is this game?

For me it's a 9
I guess it's the novelty of never having playing an old school rpg

Not him but very good to know

Reminder that if you ALT+F11 as soon as you start the game without moving, you can automatically skip Privateer's Hold. The hotkey for placing you where you last stood still just teleports you out of the dungeon if there is no previous point where you stood still.

F12 to quick load.

Awesome, thanks

It's an 8 for me

10/10 m8 you can buy yer own carts & horse along with a house!

although I'm not entirely sure how you go about buying a specific house in any town you want to like Mermont that has a seafaring vibe when the town doesn't have a bank?

Tyvm!

>town has 2 general stores and no inn

11/10

I'm a delivery guy IRL too

I'd say it's a solid 6 with the potential to get up to a 9 with mods.

>town only has 5 houses
>20+ NPC's can be found randomly walking around
