The Older Scrolls General
anyone still playing Daggerfall/Arena here?
I just started a new game of Daggerfall 3 days ago. I got my luck maxxed and basically got everything else maxxed too since I became a werewolf, I am having issues with magic because the class I made levels up too slowly and my INT is only around 60. Should I prioritize raising INT or should I just focus less on magic since I already level up slower?

I turned on Skyrim today after playing Daggerfall for 3 days and it felt like I downgraded the game in everything but graphics, it is really amazing how advanced Daggerfall was for it's time. I really like the game.

Do you have any stories?

Well I got my dumb ass trapped in a dungeon full of scorpions rescuing some banker's girlfriend from the thieve's guild. I thought "critical weakness: paralysis" was a good idea when i made my character but now i'm in a sticky situation, but all is not lost as i am slowly making my way out of the forsaken place as I methodically murder each arachnid with hit and run tactics. There is also an ancient lich that's hanging around too, but for some reason he's only around 50% of the time when i die to him or the scorpion that seemingly takes his place. I Also got a elven dai-katana from the first archer in privateer's hold which i thought was neat.

Really looking forward to it. The bug fixes should be nice, but what I'm really excited for are the mods. I can't wait until people start making all the huge ideas they had for the game that had to be scrapped; dynamic wars, armies, plagues, better NPC systems. It's gonna rule.

As long as the foundation is good and it's mechanically driven, who wouldn't want to play a game a computer designed?

Emergent gameplay is the best no matter whether we're talking a single player game like Daggerfall or something multiplayer like Ultima Online or Star Wars Galaxies.

I was thinking about installing Daggerfall, I've never played it. I'm playing through morrowind right now and I'm loving it. I never played Arena either and I'm kind of leaning towards playing that before DF. I've heard it's considerably more challenging starting off.

Im currently playing Morrowind after two earlier attempts, and this is the furthest I've gotten into the game.

I don't feel much of anything to be honest, every character has the same things to say, it's just so bland.

[Anonymous No.5120020]

I also just started the game.


I can´t return to Skyrim anymore. Daggerfall is a superior comfy experience.
I am also more hyped for Daggerfall Unity final release than TES6.

[Anonymous No.5120084]

>>5118392
I like Arena, it's very fun, but you need to go into it with a different mindset. It's not like the other TES games, there's not a lot of role-playing you can do, the story hasn't been explored in-depth yet so it might seem bland, you can't simulate a fantasy life, etc. It's just a dungeon crawling game with extra RP features added onto it, like breaking into buildings or running from guards.

Remember that the game wasn't originally intended to be an RPG. It was just going to be fighting in an arena. But then they added more and more stuff on top of it.

Started a new character for the first time in ages. Playing an edgy wood elf serial killer because I almost always play good guys in Daggerfall for some reason and wanted something different. Having a lot of fun and it's hard as balls because I've really limited my weapon/armor choices for this run.

It's a product of it's time, I'll say that much. It being "good" is highly debatable however. It's great fun fucking around with the game's mechanics for a while, and all the options for character creation, but the game is also severely lacking in content and carries too many bugs as well.

Tried playing daggerfall after playing Ultima Underworld and I got massively turned off.
Perhaps I should have changed my mindset or expectations but it felt really flat despite its massive size.

I was thinking of waiting for Daggerfall Unity see if any cool mods pop up, dunno, maybe I should give it another shot.

I could understand if this was /mu/ or an art board even, but the irony here is just too thick.

[Anonymous No.5127559]

>>5127513
The problem is that level design should be hand-crafted. Algorithms don't have the human touch. Also only a problem if you don't save often but I have been softlocked in a dungeon before due to a mistake in the algorithm.
Now, I'm not saying hand crafted dungeons are always better. I mean, aside from a few, Oblivion and skyrim dungeons were a fucking drag.

Morrowind isn't really about character interactions (none of the pre-Oblivion games are really), it's about exploration, taking in the sights, finding neat things, and immersing yourself in the story and lore.

[Anonymous No.5127579]

>>5123181

Depends on how autismal you are. I'm not very autismal, so I find the game kind of bland, but I can really see why a certain kind of person would like it. It is basically like an open sandbox where you are allowed to roam a HUGE world with a detailed character generation system, and there are many options on what to do. Basically if you like hugeness and have a lot of imagination, it'll probably be fun. For me it got boring due to things being very samey. Delve through one dungeon, do a couple of quests, and then you've basically seen what the game has to offer, it won't change much after that.

I am memeing in this post but is my installation bugged or is my computer bugged or is there some sort of anti piracy system?
1. Dagger.exe does not run, it says I have the wrong CD. I got the CD from Bethesda's website. I run the game by typing "fall.exe z.cfg"
2. I created a custom class and did the first dungeon. As soon as I left I opened the map and two notes fell out, one was the cure lycanism quest (I know because I looked it up) and the other I can only assume is the vampirism quest but I wouldn't know because the game fucking crashes when I open it with a script parse error. I started walking and not 10 seconds later I hear "Halt!" and guards were after me. They arrested me for criminal conspiracy and I pled not guilty (because what is even going on?) I was banished from Privateer's Hold (which is a dungeon, not a city?)

I am not sure if I am alone in this experience or if this is normal or a bug. It doesn't seem normal to me.
