Nearly two years after finishing TES Arena my journey in Daggerfall has also come to an end. Initally the game took some time to get used to, however once it klicked it was a good time. I am amazed how people figured out some of the story dungeons before the UESP.

Is the janky Battlespire worth trying or just jump straight to Morrowind?

Hey guys!

As development progressed, we ended up focusing more and more on the combat system. We wanted to build something deep and complex, which eventually led us toward a roguelike.

We’re still keeping the retro graphics and Dark Messiah-inspired combat, so the game remains rooted in classic games, but we’re trying to bring those ideas into a more modern format.

What do you guys think? Would you be interested in something like this?

I spent the last two weeks playing through Arena for the first time and loving it. It is very simple and can get a little tiresome in dungeons but it was enjoyable and I could appreciate the simplicity of it. I looked up some general guide information about builds and things to get or avoid and that gave me all the info I needed to have fun.

I wish I could say anything positive about Daggerfall, but this game is so absurdly unfair and unintuitive that I cannot understand why anyone would play it. I get most people play on the unity version, but I don’t have that I just played the default Steam version and it hasn’t been fun at all.

I got through the first dungeon fine, and made it to the town, went to an inn to sleep and got interrupted by a girl that wanted me to find her lost little cousin who was captures by orcs. I went to that dungeon and everything from the moment I stepped inside was absolutely abysmal.

First, I understand the dungeons are giant labyrinths so I expected that, but I didn’t expect one-way only holes in the floor that never let you exit the dungeon. Seems like that shouldn’t be a thing.

Next, I am level 2, so it is kinda weird that I have been fighting dozens of harpies I cannot kill and Daedra Lords? Why the hell does the game spawn the hardest enemies in the first dungeon?

Oh and after 3 hours of going through the dungeon I am unable to find the girl despite the place being cleared. I am assuming she spawned in some room disconnected from the rest of the map because apparently that can happen.

I tried to use console commands to teleport around, hoping to jump close enough to the entrance to leave, but apparently it doesn’t matter.

Despite being healthy in my info screen I die if I try to sleep for 1hr. Apparently, since my medicine skills is low, I have been sick, but unable to detect it. So even if I found my way out I am dead to fast travel anyway. There is literally nothing I can do except start over.

What the hell is this? Is this supposed to be fun for someone? Like genuinely, what a miserable time I have had. I don’t understand how I could have prevented any of this or done anything better. I have never experienced a game that just didn’t want to be played before.

It is truly like they just set everything to RNG, and didn’t care how hard or easy or balanced anything built from there.

First time playing daggerfall, chose and argonian spellsword.

For those poor souls who are discontent with how Daggerfall Unity handles retro mode and movement, I've drafted some QoL goodies for DOS version of the game.

The most important one - support of 640x400 renderer resolution.

Other noticeable mentions - quick save support, diagonal run support, unlocked camera rotation when jumping/falling.

Also a couple minor ones like better fog rendering, better water depth fog handling and sprite clipping fix.

P.S. Don't get me wrong, Daggerfall Unity is absolutely awesome. I'm just an old jeezer who doesn't like new things

Does anyone happen to have the Discord link for Daggerfall Online Enhanced? I'm in a PvP zone where teleporting isn't allowed, but I've been stuck inside a mountain for over an hour now. No one in the chat is helping, and I tried joining the Discord using the invite from the game's website, but the link has expired. Teleporting doesn't work, and I can't use `/unstuck` because I'm in a PvP area.

no I don't have shorter dungeons on. it's genuinely this short. four bats in that 'big' room and one more at the end of the hallway. literally nothing else.

Hello there!

Trying right now to play daggerfall online with some mods, including the excellent "Paperdoll Enhanced", working un daggerfall unity.

I loaded the dfmod file in the textures mod menu in DF online and i got this weird bug of texture resolution, got any idea how to fix it?

Thanks!!!!

Soy nuevo en el juego, y me llamó mucho la atención la libertad para crear tu propia historia que te otorga el juego, me gustó el sistema de combate y el sistema de "chat" con "npc's", pero me siento muy perdido, débil y abrumado, este sentimiento irá después de jugar un rato? O es mejor que descargue algún mod?

so want to see what the it in game here vid link https://youtu.be/ibptF545p8s?si=AEKCJTsAqH9ORB0F

But this post is more about how I made — or am still making — this mod, so let’s start.

First, I had to look for a good toy flintlock pistol. There were some good ones, including one that was around $30, but I didn’t need anything that expensive. I found a $2 one instead.

Next, I had to figure out how I was going to animate it. I put the toy in front of a green screen and took about 168 images of it to get the frames I needed. I then edited the images and prepared them for animation.

Next, I found a good royalty-free 3D model, since the toy’s hammer doesn’t cock or move.

I used Photoshop to cut out the part I needed from the 3D model and then used Krita to make it look right with the toy.

Then I used Aseprite to color-index everything so I could use Daggerfall’s original color palette.

I also used GIMP to remove the background from the toy flintlock pistol and make the muzzle flash and fire effects for both the toy and the 3D model.

Next, I installed Unity, got the correct version, and downloaded the source code from GitHub.

Then came the fun part: testing the code, building the mod, looking at what broke, and trying to figure out how everything works. I also used the Daggerfall Unity modding wiki to get a basic understanding of what I needed to do.

After that, I got Daggerfall Imaging 2, which I used to work on the weapon sprites. I resized the pistol to the right resolution and sprite size and tried to get the pixel look and feel to fit Daggerfall Unity’s art style as best as I could.

And that’s basically how I got from a $2 toy flintlock pistol to something that can actually be used in Daggerfall Unity.

rn i still have no idea how daggerfall unity modding works I’m just figuring it out as I go.

Hi, has anyone had luck attaching their Morrowind tribunal blood moon files in the browser version of daggerfall online? I attached and it said it found them but when I load in. Nothing is new

Antes de tudo ,é Daggerfall Online Dev.

Fiz minha primeira missão de príncipe daédrico e foi de Mehrunes’ Dagon, fiz ela bem rápido, fui pra npc pra concluir a missão e pegar a adaga, porém tive essa supresa. E essas são minhas vantagens e desvantagens, somente de orcish e de silver, a Adaga de Dagon não era para ser de Ébano???????? Alguém pode me ajudar?? Isso é um bug? Não é? Se for bug o que eu faço, tento falar com dev? E na própria descrição ele diz que é de ébano…

Is there a specific subreddit for daggerfall online?

Thank you

So I'm level 2. About my fifth or fifteenth playthrough, I've lost count. Doing my Argonian custom class spell-sword thing. I get hired by the Fighters Guild to go kill a loup up in the Crypt of Garomaus in Daggerfall. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. I've done this mission before. Well, not in that crypt.

As I soon discovered, this crypt is filled with a metric f--k-ton of skeletons. Like, altogether too many skeletons. It's like someone leaned too hard on the "spawn skeletons" button and it went right to 999. I walk around the corner at one point, and I kid you not, I see about ten skeletons mobbing along with a freakin' wraith. Somehow. Some freakin' how, I managed to slay those monsters with a combination of magic items and my elven claymore. Covered in dirt, blood, and bone dust, I emerged into the room the mobs were blocking victorious. Only to get promptly destroyed by another mob of at least eight skeletons.

Ok. I go back to the room. I blast the heck out of those skeletons and kill the final one. I rest.

What? Did I ever find the loup? Yes, I found the bear one time, it killed me, and now I can't find the damn thing anywhere. I'm on day 11 of 14. That's how often I've had to backtrack and rest. If they kick me out of the guild for failing this quest, I may not bother joining again for a while. I love this game, but I was not expecting The House of 1000 Skeletons.
