Since this video is gaining more popularity than I ever expected, I’d like to address some of the more common comments I’ve gotten: - First, please keep in mind that I had just over 300 subs when this was made - Yes, the introduction is a bit dragged out. The point was to both explain why the video was delayed to my small audience of regulars, while also trying to transition into one of Daggerfall’s strengths, which is emergent storytelling. - I am aware that the lack of music harms the experience, and I started adding music to my videos more recently. It’s something I’m still figuring out how to do with some amount of creativity. Just looping a soundtrack in the background is boring to me, so I opted out of adding music altogether until recently. - Since I only did one playthrough, do not expect a comprehensive breakdown of all the skills. - Knowing more about ES more than I did when I made this video, I now think Dragon Breaks are pretty lame. The concept was unique to me at the time, but there are better alternatives. That’s all, thank you guys for watching!

Let me share an anecdote about Daggerfall's dungeons. When I was much younger, I was playing through the game blind. I didn't know about teleportation being almost necessary, or anything like that. And I went into a random dungeon on some random unassuming quest. I was wandering for literal hours through this massive labyrinth, through one place after the other. Until I finally found my quest objective, some creature that I killed. And then, the best part happened. I realised that I have no idea how to get out. Even using the minimap I couldn't even find where the exit was, let alone how to get there. And so, I went on to explore. And there were hours and hours more, until I finally saw the place that I recognized and managed to get out. I've never felt such tension in any game since. It wasn't pleasant, but, my god, was it an experience.

Do not forget, Daggerfall came out before the days of the internet. Nothing could be looked up. Things such as Daedra summoning first required that you read through many books to learn lore about Daedra, then find out that they can be summoned, then discover how, etc. The sheer depth and complexity of Daggerfall was what made it very appealing to me, back in the day.

The music along with the skeleton's wails and background dungeon sounds were the perfect mix to create an unnerving ambiance I'd never felt anywhere. Hearing a door creak open and not knowing what creature was coming for my wood elf was both terrifying and exciting.

I've stumbled across several Daggerfall videos in the past months, & this stands head & shoulders above the rest for not seeming as if most of the detail around the main quest & side quests were taken straight from the wiki. You're absolutely correct that the dungeons, while labyrinthian (pun intended) compared to later entries in the series, aren't nearly the obstacle people often describe. Yes, the default key binds are odd, but that's nothing which cannot be easily remedied. I played the original for years, but the Unity port has been my go-to since not long after its release. Some mods actually improve on the original by fleshing out minor quests, tossing in enemies to encounter in the wild, & providing a more varied landscape than the original flat world. Some old games have aged better, but I always find myself waiting until I think I've forgotten enough details to go back & give this one another spin. If Bethesda fails to restore more customization & consequence in TES VI, we can always hope the Wayward Realms fills that gap. All in all, fantastic job on the review. Fun fact, quest items are always in the last place you look for them. Once you find them, you stop searching. You may continue to explore the dungeon, but you're no longer looking for that item.

Its not really correct to say that Daggerfall is only big because Arena was big. Daggerfall and Arena are two fundamentally different games in this regard. Arena was a big game because the overworld around every town and dungeon was literally infinite. Its literally impossible to travel from town to town on foot in Arena because the terrain is generated infinitely in basically the same way its generated in Minecraft. In fact its so similar you can cheat your way to the "end" of the gameworld in Arena and find the terrain generation algorithm breaking down and glitching out in the same manner it does at the "end" of the world in Minecraft. In Daggerfall, the game isn't infinite. Yes, they used a procedural terrain generation algorithm in Daggerfall as well, but they manually placed every town, shrine, and dungeon as specific points in the world so that you can travel to them on foot. Yes, the overworld is still boring, but its actually a real place and the towns and dungeons have real locations, whereas in Arena, every town and dungeon exists independently isolated, surrounded by an infinite void of nothing. This is why Daggerfall is so much more impressive (especially given the time period it was made) than something like Arena where its size is a complete illusion.

I enjoy daggerfall's story. I can't respect the dragon breaks though. It comes off as an incredibly clunky result of Bethesda's paralysis with making decisions.

As I’ve learned slightly more about ES lore (although not a ton), I’ve come to see them less favorably as well. I don’t mind that nothing is treated as canon (Bethesda struggles to keep things consistent within their own games, I’d rather them not try branching narratives), I just don’t think dragon breaks are a concept they should do in every game, and unless the Dragonborn using the Elder Scroll caused some time-screwiness, I doubt we’ll see one for Skyrim. They’ll probably just brush off the civil war with something about “reports conflicting” over the victory or something.

Wow finally someone who shares some of the same experiences as me with this game. I pretty much agree with everything you said about the dungeons. It took some getting used to but eventually I grew to love them, I love navigating and focusing on not getting lost, checking the map constantly to help keep my bearings. Filling out the dungeon map is kind of addicting and you can get pretty efficient at it once you get used to using the map and become confident in not getting lost, and of course getting loot feels good too. But when I decided I wanted to actually finish the main quest it all became way less fun. Even though the dungeons were more interesting, the fact that I was literally just there to find the objective made it much more tedious. And castle wayrest was absolutely the worst, the painting was in the last place I looked (if I recall correctly it's at the end of the north side but there's an entire south side that I ended up fully exploring first) and it took me forever. But yeah, I've watched a lot of reviews of daggerfall and yours comes closest to describing my experience with the game, it feels like a lot of other reviews are from people who were never really able to get into the game. By the way, you mention having to nuke enemies with spell spam to get through the late game, but when I played I used the default Rogue class. So the way I dealt with things was with a magic item I had that could cast Silence as well as my stealth skill. High level enemies will often resist the Silence effect but that doesn't cause them to notice you, so as long as they haven't noticed you you can just spam it until they get hit. And eventually I managed to summon a daedra (by pure luck, I didn't even check the date) and got the ebony mail, which when used gives you enough buffs to actually tank blasts from ancient liches and ancient vampires. I have no idea how I would have beat the game if I didn't have those items
@saltyshrimppasta2 жыл бұрын
I agree! In hindsight, I definitely think that my issue was only playing the game once. There are a lot of solutions to dealing with powerful magical enemies, such as Silence like you mentioned.

There are two problems with setting "running" or other similar skills as primary. 1) You will level up quickly, which means you'll encounter stronger enemies, but you won't have the combat/magic/stealth skills to deal with them. 2) Guilds have skill requirements for each rank.

The dungeons had the one music track, sounded like a crazy version of the into to tales from the Darkside. Non stop over and over for days while you tried to find the last giant or harpy for a damned little fighters guild quest then spend hours trying to get out, rinse and repeat over 100 times. The were a bit hard to navigate just because they had like 3 tilesets for them. 3d maps are always hard to use in older games. I loved the game but it was only party playable and half assed as hell. Arena is far more approachable. The dungeons were my favorite part of the game too, what other parts are there? A flat mostly featureless random terrain or some NPC walking around a city? It was like the game that was so close to innovatively badass, but it missed by a mile of tech limitations and budget. Still fun to play to this day, and with the Unity Version perhaps I will beat it one day. I never could no matter how hard I tried when it came out. It breaks my mind how much you can do it in game, too bad most that play it will never get to them parts.

Also, for anyone wondering, the most op build in daggerfall is a high elf warrior. Because you have good magic resistance and immunity to paralysis, and if you stack disease immunity on top of that, and proficiency in your main weapon type, then ban yourself from using any other weapon type (at character creation of course) you will have a balanced leveling rate, good defence against detrimental spell effects and after a bit of levelling the advantages warrior races to weapon effectiveness won't matter anyway because the proficiency buff you took at character creation will get you there quickly, and after a few hours you will be a warrior with slightly less health yeah, but amazing resistances a standard warrior races won't get easily and just as effective combat abilities.

Great video, just only would say Witcher 3 is mixed on quest importance not completely bad. It’s in a lot of ways trying to mimic the books. Geralt and Ciri while going through a main story encounter many side moments along that path, many of which are from necessity for money or from circumstance. With Witcher 3 having a story closer to detective fiction, it means you have excuses for side material to grow from the main story and come across more as stories that Geralt encounters along his investigation of the main plot. Witcher 1 accomplished this way better than 3 but I felt it fair to point that out. Thanks for your hard work.

15:30 Yea I think the dungeons get a little bit too much hate from the community. Now are they convoluted messes that would make Theseus pause and basically requires your character to have mark and recall? Yes. But with Daggerfall Unity and selecting the "smaller dungeons" option they are not nearly the several hour-chore they normally are but still enjoyable to experience with some difficulty involved. And I for one enjoy the combat in the game and just dungeon delving in general. It also makes the story/handmade dungeons seem like huge behemoth-sized levels that demands the full attention of the player and good preparation in comparison which I think is appropriate.

You had to read the manual because the manual was not only a big chunk of the story. It taught you stuff like what races abilities were what magic did? What certain abilities did so if you would have gone into the mindset of I'm going in blind and instead went in with the mindset of I'm going in blind with the manual then you probably would have done a lot better on your first play

Going by the letter that the name of the function starts with like "J for jump" was a hold over from more simple DOS games in the 80s that needed to go away a lot sooner by the time Daggerfall had come out. I really tend to have more issues nowadays with certain keybinds getting hardcoded around the WASD area that I absolutely need to move to the other side which forces me to use an autohotkey script a lot of the time.

@Mr._Anderpson Жыл бұрын
Don't take this the wrong way, but people playing Daggerfall today should take into consideration the marked differences between gamers & society in general over the course of 30 years. If you played PC games in the 90s, it was assumed you were a nerd. It isn't like today where computer use is almost ubiquitous in one form or another. The game developers could not make the game palatable for a future audience as it would have been impossible to foresee the changes which have occurred. If you plan to play a game this old, it is a good idea to at least attempt to approach it as someone would in 1997. What does this mean? Read. The game came with an extensive manual. It would have been assumed a player would have read the manual not only to install the game, (since this was long before simply inserting a disc automatically opened an installation wizard), but also to learn the basics about stats, equipment, monsters, & the background of the game's setting. Chances are the site you download the game from will also contain a link to the manual. As mentioned in the video, the UESP wiki is an incredible resource a new player would be wise to use. Ok. Grandpa is tired. Come back later & I'll tell you about manually installing games which arrived in a packet of 7-9 5 1/4" floppy disks, or waiting 20 minutes to download a single image online as it loaded, pixel by pixel, from top left, across and down.

This is something I didn’t think to mention back when I made the video, but you’re 100% correct. Daggerfall’s manual is pretty comprehensive (and almost 100 pages), and would have smoothed over a lot of the early game issues I had. Although the map section still doesn’t mention hidden doorways oddly enough, but anybody using it frequently would pick up on that anyways.
@Mr._Anderpson Жыл бұрын
@@saltyshrimppasta Yep, there are a lot of reviews of old games which mention issues which wouldn't have occurred to us back in the day. Even some of the videos which are incredibly long were published with complaints that could have been addressed by reading a manual, let alone the wiki. It's just one of the changes in gaming over the years. Players today expect everything they need to know to be presented in-game. I'm not dunking on younger players. It is merely a difference between then and now. Very old games like the TSR "Gold Box" series had embedded copy protection which would prompt a user to input a word from the manual or journal, or to have a cardboard disk which was included with the game as a primitive encryption method. Some of the Mechwarrior games had cardboard keyboard overlays to help you learn the key binds. Like I said, a lot has changed in 25-30 years.

It's a mod, but it adds in roads between the towns and cities, which I think is rather nice. You can walk them or speed up time as it auto moves you along. If it weren't for that mod, yeah I'd be doing a lot more fast travel. Original Daggerfall is rough. I played it some years ago because Unity version wasn't anywhere near finished. I got through it, bit of a love/hate but I made it. The Unity remake is nice, I'm glad it exists and that it's finished now. Even though they were more basic, I think Arena's dungeons were much better in size, even if they were one level only and the next "floor" was a new one you spawned to. I do like Daggerfall's verticality though, but man they did get a bit too big for my liking. I do like the levelling in Daggerfall, do something more often to get better at it, as opposed to putting in XP. 37:49 No, I'm left handed and those are nightmare controls. I always rebind when I can. IJKL for movement and use the keys surrounding those.

The dungeon itself is fine, but if you haven’t changed the controls to mouse look and are still using the default, then it can make the combat encounters way more difficult. A lot of people aren’t accustomed to their starting weapons outright no working on some enemies, and the eclectic tutorial messages don’t help. The fact that there is a mod to skip the first dungeon tells me that enough people struggled with it to want to start out in the world. Especially since, if you know what you’re doing, you can be out of it in 20 seconds

~20:00 While the map is the solution to the secret doors problem, it isn’t necessarily a good solution. For one, it doesn’t really make any sense. While the map is obviously game-ified, I like to think it at least works as a representation of a map the player character may actually be making. But if the player is the one making the map, and the player is unaware of a secret door, then why would it be visible on the map? Maybe that could be seen as nitpicky, but I also think the existence of secret doors in general in the game can be called into question when the solution to all of them is just…check the map. In other games, finding secret areas often requires some thinking or searching on the part of the player that can feel rewarding. Daggerfall basically just adds the tedious extra step of scanning the map every so often as you walk down the hallways and reveal more of the map. It’s a single solution to a frequent problem. I don’t know if you address any of this stuff later in the video. If you do, sorry.
@saltyshrimppasta Жыл бұрын
I can see that perspective as well! It’s an issue that is heavily lessened or worsened by how you play. I was checking the map every 5 seconds so it wasn’t ever an issue. But if you check it every 5 minutes, you’ll spend even longer looking for an alternate route or hidden doorway (which I did on occasion). I don’t think I bring the issue up later from what I recall, so the argument is pretty one sided. I think it was more of an “in response to X” type of argument.

I really enjoyed watching this and I agree with most of your points. The only real reason to play the original Daggerfall is if you're either unaware of DF Unity or if the only computer you have access to is over 20 years old. It's far too janky for most people and the amount of bugs makes it barely playable. My first experience with Daggerfall was finding it on an old 500+ games demo disc. I played it for maybe 10 minutes before quitting in frustration. I would only learn after playing both Morrowind and Oblivion that it was part of the Elderscrolls series. My first time actually playing it seriously and beating it was a couple of years ago using DF Unity, which made it much more accessible. I played through maybe 95 percent of it without having to resort to online guides, but there are parts of this game that are clearly designed with a strategy guide in mind. The whole wall torch thing was very frustrating to learn, because there was no possible way I could imagine figuring that out on my own. Then there was that one puzzle at the very end that involved reading a book that had no indication of being relevant and you're expected to figure out it was actually a riddle for the next room. It's like taking the most frustrating aspects of point and click adventure games and applying it to a few select spots to a quasi action RPG. But I suppose that's part of Daggerfall's charm.

Crux pronounced like Ducks. Ducks ---> Crucks ----> Crux. Now to be fair to the game, with all the issues you had in the Crux, remember you were playing on Dosbox. An emulator. While it is a very good one that works 99% of the time it is possible that the problems you were having were aggravated by Dosbox. Daggerfall is a buggy game even when played on period hardware. Add Dosbox into the mix and you are bound to add additional problems. Many other players have played this section on a real DOS PC and it worked as intended. This is why Daggerfall Unity exists. It runs better on modern hardware and also fixes the majority of bugs Bethesda left behind in the game. Overall great video and nice to see a new generation appreciating these older games. The fact that you did this video when you were new to youtube with a small 300 sub channel makes the quality of this video even more impressive.

Watching this video rather than just playing more Daggerfall almost feels like a form of procrastination. I already know I love the game and I don't need more reasons to reaffirm my position. Daggerfall really took me off guard and really stuck in my mind as something amazing as a result. For my childhood I was a console gamer, grew up on the n64 mainly, I didn't at all expect a clunky old cRPG to grip me so intensely and change my whole perception on gaming as a medium, especially since I got into it so late, not only that but once its magic wore off from playing it way too much it left me feeling like an empty husk, chasing a high that I'll probably never be able to experience again. Daggerfall is very cruel.

The begining dungeon is supposed to teach you that you CAN'T win every fighter, and that it's better to run away sometimes. Soul Gems give more enchantment points btw. I ended up loving the mummy question, every night was a gree 300+ gold with how easy to kill he was, and he always dropped loot, sometimes he spawned more than once in one night for me as well. Most of my biggest problems, especially with DosBox, but also on Unity is simply the heavily dated UI, the spell maker/potion maker/enchantment all look horrible and are extremely unintuitive at first, with the enchantment UI being the best of the 3. As far as mercantile, sell items once at a time and you'll level up faster, each item counts as a tick on your mercantile skill, but only when sold 1 at a time, if you'd sell 30 iron daggers at once that's just one transaction, if you sell 30 it on daggers, 1 at a time, that's 30 separate transactions via the games logic, all of which give you xp. I love Daggerfall, but, I'd highly suggest using mods and the Unity port which in my opinion, is by far the definitive edition of the game even if you play it as vanilla as possible. Daggerfall is a great RP/lifesim, but a pretty bad game, it's just a 90s bootleg pc version of D&D after all(Arena and Daggerfall are both based on a D&D campaign the devs played at the time), everything functions off of dice roles, and the game was so rushed that half the content was never finished or never even made it into the game.

Now and then i come across a apologistic video about daggerfall and am tempted to give the game another shot. So i did, and here is what happened: I cleared the tutorial dungeon like always, fun stuff, i picked a random town and guild to join, stumbled into the temple of Kynareth and got my first quest: travel to another town and get a potion to give to a person on some other town to cure their disease. I travelled, walked around, asked for directions, got the potion, delivered it, went back to the temple and got my reward. Went for another quest, it was another delivery, amidst that, i ended up getting a disease myself which was draining my intelligence, i realized it too late and i couldnt survive the trip to a town with a temple that could cure me so i had to reload a save from before i got that disease and lose all the quest progress. So i ended up getting a quest to find a person who went mad, which led me to spend a few hours lost inside a dungeon that only had rats, bats, bears and tooth saber cats. No loot. This is the point where i usually drop this game, but your video kept me curious so i pulled through, i found the person, gave it a good beating and brought it back to the temple. Next quest was an exorcism but, ontop of giving me confusing directions, it ended up glitching at the end so i had to reload the save and get a different quest, which was dealing with a haunted house. Straight forward stuff. Then i got a few quests about finding someone or something on a dungeon and this time i got some interesting enemy sets and the objective tended to be right near the entrance, which was a bit of let down but ok still. I found some magic gear but nothing special, i got a diamond and a ring that cast slowfall. Eventually the guild awarded me rank of acolyte and started sending me to dungeons to deal with apparitions and other undead. I got another exorcism quest but i was able to solve it properly by avoiding talking to the "guardian" of the possesed person, speaking directly to them, getting the holy item and delivering it, which then led me to fighting my first daedric creature, whom beat the ever living shit out of me. After getting promoted to the rank of Curate, my last quest sent me to a dungeon to deal with a cursed relic, there i found a magical ruby that casts some sort of knockback spell. Upon finding the relic, i was then surprised by a Daedric figure of a woman who tempted me to leave the relic in exchange for a magical dress. Initially i refused, to which the woman took off her dress, grew wings and transformed into a crazy bitch, summoning a gargoyle and another daedric enemy, anihillating me instantly. I had to take her bargain, i had no chance of winning, but i didnt wanted to give up. It was then that i found out how much of a game changer my magic ruby was. It turns out that the knockback spell can throw enemies against each other or against walls, causing collision damage in the process! Who would have thought the key to defeating my enemy was inside that very dungeon and i just had to learn how to use it? Tl;DR: Thanks for the video, it made me a lot more invested into the game, it is still a rough diamond, but im conditioning myself slowly and getting to enjoy it more. This game is a lost art, its hard to think something similar will ever be created again.
