@@MrMaltavius Yes you're not the only one to notice that. I suppose people are feeling too positive about the project to mind yet ― with reason, I'd say. Experienced devs making the kind of game they've already made decades ago but with modern technology. From what I've seen, optimization and graphics tend to come pretty late in development, so I'm not too worried about that. Just glad the devs didn't make a pre-rendered scene that plays super smoothly and instead showed us mechanics we're already familiar with from the old TES games, plus some new.

[@exosproudmamabear558]

This is a pre alpha much more like a gameplay concept than the real gameplay so things will change a lot to graphics to mechanics. If you ask me for a pre alpha it even looks way too polished

[@tektight]

@@MrMaltavius They could fix that later but developers never do. Indies nor AAAs. It(optimizations) has to be fixed parallel to game development because too late in to it you might have some bad coding or have to redo all your models or change a scene/zone.

@husky3g they did a great job streamlining and making the elder scrolls accessible. I think they will have a problem with ES VI because there isn't much more that can be streamlined and they are highly unlikely to introduce anything complex or interesting.

[@TyranasauruzFlex6669]

@@priestfan81 I agree. The difference from Oblivion to Skyrim is insane in a sense that with Skyrim, you could tell that they were trying really hard to streamline too much in an effort to sell the most copies and please everyone. Sure, it worked and they made a shit ton of money, their game is so heavily praised as "the best RPG ever" ect. but I disagree with this sentiment as do many others. You can't make everyone happy and still have a fantastic game. People look past a lot of Skyrim's faults but it falls just short of mediocre, in my opinion, due to the heavily streamlined mechanics and that so heavily sought after broad appeal they were going for. TES VI is probably going to have the same issues due to it's predecessor's wild success. It will be Skyrim with a different map and better graphics. Maybe some more polished mechanics as well but aside from that I doubt it will be what everyone is dying so hard to play right now for just that reason.

[@captbloodbeard]

The fact that this has stats, skills, and attributes for deep RPG mechanics is what has me so excited. So many devs have removed these from their "RPGs" in because they are afraid players will make characters that suck and then get angry at the devs. I'm glad that you are trusting your players more. Please don't waver on this. If my character sucks at archery because that's the way I built him, if he picks up a bow and shoots it he shouldn't be able to hit the broadside of a barn, no matter how good I, the player, am at aiming.

[@Ralzar]

It is really a plague of modern rpgs that the devs try to make the game be equally easy no matter build. You just end up with the build choices being almost pointless or the game just being so easy that doing a good build completely trivializes the game. In a game like Daggerfall, nothing is as satisfying as making a very sub-optimal character and then STILL managing to progress through the game by just knowing the game well enough and managing to push through despite everything.

[@Varil92]

You can really feel the Daggerfall vibes but with a modern technology in it

[@wesleybeaver]

Indeed. I remember what it was like on the old Bethsoft boards when they were working on Daggerfall. The energy gathering here is very much like that.

[@TheRantMaster53]

@@Jhakaro yeah but most open world rpgs dont have this mechanic. it just makes the world feel more alive and reactive. of course stealth focused linear games like thief are gonna have light-snuffing mechanics

[@Verchiel_]

@@Jhakaro yea it's less about whether or not it's a "new thing" and more about those things being included. As much of a skyrim fanboy as i am, it lacks environmental interaction immensely. Things like dousing light sources or setting fields of grass aflame would have made the game feel more interactive yet we don't have that. This stands for most other open world games that only include minor set pieces like a couple hinges you can shoot with a bow to lower a draw bridge or some such. Wayward realms definitely seems to lack. Polish to me personally, animations and combat don't seem particularly thrilling but i have no reason to hate on the game. Looking forward to the "Elder Scrolls killer" comments from people though.

[@grubfist]

[@yabs9642]

i just read the kickstarter, and just realized if it were possible figuring out how to plug the VGM with nvidia's AI npc's and maybe hard coding major npc's like kings or faction leaders (program their personality and when they want to do something of their own accord the VGM could green light it or not) or having npc's we've met get green lighted for nvidia ai by the VGM so then they get their personality and you can quite literally talk with them via mic or typing. say like i want to charm them, id click the button for charm then talk my crap. and then get a natural response back, would bring incredible immersion.

[@chefcourier8511]

Already did a pledge to support this project. I'm very interested to see what you guys make and hoping it turns out well for all of you. I recently started playing daggerfall and I fell in love with it immediately. The amount of details and cool rpg mechanics was very ambitious for its time. And this being a mordern daggerfall has my immediate attention and money.

[@avatar19822]

Honestly, I'm more excited for this than I am for Elder Scrolls 6

[@prismaticbeetle3194]

after starfail no one can blame you

[@nsteriovski]

Just backed the campaign! Extremely excited to see what you all have planned, and looking forward to the progress your team (and the game) makes over the next few years. All the best!!!

[@ricardo_lavra]

Now I see why this game is a spiritual successor to Daggerfall: it has much of it art style but with modern looks. Will follow it's updates with pretty huge interest

[@SquirellDisciple]

Just gave my pledge! Can't wait to see what you all do with this game!

[@mastermiller4862]

Pledged as an Adventurer, the kickstarter is movin' baby! good luck!

[@gm2407]

This is like a fusion of Daggerfall game play mechanics, Morrowind text reading style and Oblivionesque engine. I want to play it. So hyped for this.

[@jp_ravenfire]

Made a pledge!

[@crimsonhawk52]

wow that dialogue system looks rad! Reminds me a bit of Subsurface Circular, which I always thought had the most interesting dialogue system in gaming

[@prometheus9096]

Yes, I get flashbacks to Morrowind. I spend hours sometimes, just chatting with people in towns :)

[@brandonq3456]

I think this will be the first time I support a Kickstarter! I know the game is supposed to be a spiritual successor to Daggerfall but it also seems heavily inspired by Morrowind, one of my favorite RPGs. Looking forward to donating to the team and supporting this project!

[@victor_.]

Im so happy you guys are getting a lot of support on kickstarter. Keep up the good work!

[@verdant9644]

Did not think we would be getting such a good looking gameplay trailer this soon. Cant wait to try it out!

[@Manwithopinions]

Happy to be one of the backers of this project. I'd love to learn more about the stealth system you guys have planned and what you can do with a stealth build.

[@crimsonhawk52]

The VGM sounds super awesome, really excited by the idea that any NPC can become a major player in later questlines!

[@Galaxyace09]

Good luck with the kickstarter! I did my duty!

[@TheContrarian-ii8su]

Finally someone whom creates something. Instead of just recycling other peoples ideas

[@Axalder]

A pesar de no tener la garantía de poder jugarlo en Español, lo cuál sería vital en mi caso para disfrutarlo ya que mi Inglés no es lo suficientemente bueno, he decidido contribuir a su financiación porque es uno de los proyectos más ilusionantes que he visto en mi vida como jugador y creo que sus creadores son realmente sinceros y están totalmente comprometidos con el proyecto. Este es uno de esos juegos que merecerían tener un presupuesto multimillonario, espero que haya inversores que se animen a aportar mucho más dinero. Despite not having the guarantee of being able to play it in Spanish, which would be vital in my case to enjoy it since my English is not good enough, I have decided to contribute to its financing because it is one of the most exciting projects I have seen in my life as a player and I think its creators are really sincere and fully committed to the project. This is one of those games that deserves to have a multi-million dollar budget, I hope there are investors who are willing to contribute much more money.

[@OnceLostGames]

We truly appreciate it!

[@alphashortreels]

Seriously excited to see this game coming together. This gameplay video is super encouraging and looks out of this world!

[@alphashortreels]

Just pledged for the Kickstarter campaign! Go OnceLost games!

[@nathandayfilms]

Looks really promising! Interesting fantasy world where you have freedom to play and roleplay however you want and with action combat? Count me in every day of the week.

[@droughty666]

That framerate has me worried, but on the other hand it's ballsy and admirable to show an actual pre alpha gameplay.

[@TheRantMaster53]

I cant express how goddamn excited I am for this game. I've been burned so many times before by modern AAA releases being buggy as hell or disappointing. But the fact that you're taking your time, and that this is a spiritual successor to one of my favourite RPGs of all time gives me a lot of hope, especially after seeing this trailer. Please take as long as you need. I'm confident that this has a lot of potential to be the greatest RPG ever made, especially if you manage to execute the world events/evolving cities system (which sounds INSANE)

[@alkazaryyy]

One thing i would love to see, if anyone is reading this, is quest leading to other quests, ... quests within quests. I find in rpg:s many times the quests are to linear and simple, go fetch this thing, well done, here is your gold. Why not let one thing lead to another, you stumble on someone imprisoned in that dungeon, now you can choose to engage in a quest of helping him, now you discover a whole new faction as a result and he invites you to join, now he offers you a new quest, where you stumble upon yet another possible, or many different possible quests and options. This is after all how real life works.

[@OnceLostGames]

We hear ya. We actually have been designing quests in a 5 act structure, with fifth acts being a potential first act for another quest.

[@alkazaryyy]

@@OnceLostGames Thanks for the reply! It's been on my mind a long while as a tes fan, and I'm happy I somehow had my voice heard! This project is in insanely good hands, can't wait to try it out.

[@scotzorz]

Been following this since you all got back together. Im so unbelievably stoked for this game!

[@JobberGames]

This looks like a mixture of Dark Messiah, Kingdom Come, & The Elder Scrolls! I love it 🔥

[@keitho6974]

Im glad to see some stuff like fishing as well. Maybe I am just a humble explorer going from town to town.

[@DovahKanye]

Daggerfall was before my time, started with Oblivion. But I have read about the features of DF and was surprised how much less features TES games had the further they went on. A modern spin on a classic RPG is exactly what we need, games like BG3 and KCD prove that advanced mechanics still can be viable in a ever more casualized industry. Blessings of Julianos upon ye.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

With the Daggerfall Unity project now being complete it's the best time to give it a try if you're interested.

[@DovahKanye]

@@CrazyxEnigma Yeah I've seen that I was considering it.

[@ignaciopaz5956]

The ones who cry for the system combat just don’t know the relevance(or the actual crisis of the gaming industry we’re going through)of a good dialogue in games and how that makes real immersive in a fantasy world, guys you are the hope of this degenerative gaming era ❤

[@tragc]

Hope success in all your future endeavors!! I'm officially a Baron in the kickstarter 😎

[@cptncutleg]

Your mic is peaking, consider reducing your gain or hiring a recording specialist to set it up. Once it's set up, it shouldn't need adjusting again. Speaking of audio, you may want to adjust some of the damage sounds to make them a little "meatier" as hit-confirmation.

[@stephenpine2448]

Agreed

[@LostHorizons0]

Or just lower the background music / sounds

[@TheoShahh]

Should also be a longer release time on that side chain limiter/compressor/unmasker, so that the music doesn’t fade in and out very quickly during short pauses when you’re speaking

[@KingLich451]

Wohoh, combat looks fun!

[@BarryAllen-ht6lh]

The fact that the gameplay looks rough tells me this is going to go so hard as an rpg.

[@Cinemaphile7783]

Exactly, these kids don't get it

[@simflyer9955]

A game to actually be exicted for in this day and age? How can it be? I will be following this one for sure.
