Daggerfall's Still Really Fun!

We're gonna start a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall! How long will this let's play last? Will we even make it out of the first proper dungeon? Well...
Daggerfall Unity is being used for this Let's Play: www.dfworkshop...

This is why you always save before accepting a randomized quest. There's nothing like being sent to Devil's Asshole to fight a werewolf underwater down a mineshaft.

[@hugorodriguez5149]

Fucking hate that

[@ThePaperKhan]

This is too true. I remember being sent to some weird ass hole in the ground and my target was locked behind some magic doors. I was then one hit killed by some sort of skeleton that moved at the speed of light

[@user-uy7bn4kt2b]

This comment has me in stitches

[@nousername2942]

Honestly Daggerfall has the worst dungeons I've ever played in an RPG. They make no sense, are unnecessarily enormous, and you spend hours merely trying to find where to go/how to get back out. Aside from the start dungeon, I literally have only been able to do one other dungeon, despite attempting so many. Glad they don't generate them anymore.

[@Destroyer2150]

It was a different time... Hell, in some RPGs, health was blue while Stamina was yellow.

[@chrismanuel9768]

Health is Red, Green, or Blue. Mana is Blue, Green, or Purple. Stamina is Green, Yellow, or White. Standards in gaming have changed a lot over the years. Red for health makes sense because blood = health, but mana and stamina? No reason for them to be whatever particular color. I think of magic as purple or green. Stamina makes sense to me as yellow, not green.

[@pingASS_]

@@chrismanuel9768 I also think stamina should be yellow. Dunno why.

[@lucasfall9527]

I think from a design standpoint using red green and blue makes sense because it’s easy colours to assign stuff to Also prime colours, so it makes sense instead of making a specific shade of say purple for mana

Daggerfall Unity has plenty of mods that can make the game look a lot better. D.R.E.A.M is the mod you want. I would also reccomend real grass and enchanced skies.

[@marcusphantom1394]

Not sure this counts but all three of you should give Wayward Realms a look. It's a game in the makes thats being worked on by the original creators of Daggerfall and from what I've seen in their discord server. They plan to make Daggerfall 2.0

Unity is just an upgrade, it still requires a copy of the original. So it's not a remake.

[@Xegethra]

​@@Grinnar Yes, you're right. It runs on top of it.

[@saltyshrimppasta]

I finished DOS Daggerfall the other day. It’s VERY fun, but the Mantellan Crux almost softlocked me because of its general buginess. Had I not been playing a mage, it would have been literally impossible because the item meant to cast levitate on you wasn’t working. Despite this, my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I didn’t have the same issues other people had with the dungeons. I actually used the map so finding hidden pathways wasn’t hard, except for that one for the unicorn horn.
