[@GameSquad306]

@@PROJEKT_R3D I didn't really like star-field that much, but to be fair as someone that has played both, daggerfall has a bunch of issues. the sheer repetitivty of dungeons etc make the world feel empty and lifeless fast. im sure it was spectacular when it first released, but compared to modern titles (even starfield) it really feels lacking.

[@PROJEKT_R3D]

@@GameSquad306 you're comparing games at that level with a technological disadvantage. I didn't say dagger fall didn't have any problems, I'm saying comparing the dungeons that are randomly generated with random loot and random enemies, in most cases, is a lot more engaging than going to the same abandoned place on different planets with the same enemies and the same loot and everything in the same spot

[@Grimmers]

Seriously could not imagine playing Daggerfall without smaller dungeons enabled. I had to do just one of the non-random story dungeons that are full size regardless of the toggle and it nearly killed me. I feel deeply for the poor 80's kids who had to do one of those for every single side-quest in the game.

[@brytheguy4515]

Fun fact, in this game gold has weight, so you have to put it in a bank. And the banks have interest. And you can use bank notes for large purchases. And you can get loans you have to pay off. ...wow this game is in-depth in the weirdest places.

[@brytheguy4515]

@@viewer6152 this game is hard on the simulation side of the spectrum. Morrowind was a compromise between simulation and gameplay. And oblivion and Skyrim are hard on the gameplay side.

[@tatuira93]

Remember when Bethesda used to make games that had depth, vision and authenticity? Then gradually began declining after Morrowind.

[@brytheguy4515]

@@tatuira93 well, if you know the story behind Morrowind's development, you can't entirely blame them. Bethesda was very mismanaged in the late 90s, and it lead to the company being at risk of becoming a shovelware company. Morrowind was their last ditch effort to stay afloat, and everyone was working crazy crunch hours to get it done (iicr one guy wrote every quest for 5-6 different factions, on top of numerous lore books). So if you ever hear talk about how Morrowind "saved" Bethesda, it really did. I imagine with Todd Howard in charge, after going through that, he wants to do everything in his power to prevent the company from ever having to go through crunch like that again.

[@mareksicinski3726]

Oddly anachronistic

[@virvewirllos]

@@brytheguy4515 You don't need to crunch just to have a cohesive design philosophy and a functional level of polish. The circumstances of morrowind's development were dire, but that's not what made the game good and now they have both the time and the budget to not be as constrained as they were with morrowind, yet every game afterwards has become mechanically simpler, more lacking in player agency and devoid of a core narrative despite attempting a bigger scope and taking longer than the last to make . If anything, given what we know about starfield's development ending up rushed on the last couple of years despite how long it spent in development, and needing a team having to patch out almost every aspect of fallout 76 post release (amongst everything else about fallout 76, already coming out after the very lukewarm's reception of 4), their unfocused approach to design is making their employees jobs much more difficult than they need to be with nothing to show for it. They don't need to push their employees to their breaking point during development to deliver bigger games, they need to sit down and map out how to make a good game before starting to make it because the years of putting bandaids on the gapping holes caused by terrible leadership have caught up to them.

My advice as a longtime Daggerfall fan: Smaller dungeons dramatically changes the dungeon scale, the original dungeons were so unfathomably large that it genuinely used to take me upwards of 6 hours to complete them. It might be fun to turn off if you're curious.

[@johnsullivanmusic2719]

Here are some tips for you if you are starting daggerfall from someone with hundreds of hours in the game and multiple playthroughs for the different questlines. 1. if this is your first char, make it easy on yourself and look up an OP character build, usually a magic user or a magic melee user, with some cheesing in the weaknesses and immunities section to make leveling easier. 2. always always always get to the point where you dont have to do anything else for the main quest, there is a part in the beginning that is time sensitive where if you dont do it, the whole game becomes unbeatable. This can get away from you with all the exploring you want to do around that time, meet bresennia then you have no time limit and can explore ad infinium. 3. make unlocking the mages guild, and the spell crafter a priority. That thing will literally carry you through the game, also look up a tutorial on making spells you will be making a couple of them that will be overpowered. 4. always have some form of recall to use when entering a dungeon. This way if you get lost in one of these labyrinthian mazes you can just pop recall and go right to the entrance. 5. mods make this game way better, especially the QoL mods and the console command mod, the console is controversial because people equate it to cheating, but sometimes quests break and you need to fix them, or shit becomes unwinnable and instead of restarting at your last save an hr ago you just want to get out of the dungeon or w.e. 6. pay attention to your status text, if yellow text pops up that says you dont feel well or you feel unwell that means you're poisoned you need to cure it and if you rest for too long you will straight up just die. 7. dont worry about doing the main quest until you are familiar with the game, truth be told the main quest is boring after the first couple run throughs, yes there are branching paths and multiple ending but the dungeons are premade, they are probably some of the best dungeons you will go through because they are designed, but its best to save that for last 8. Houses and boats are expensive, but joining a knightly order will net you a house at the end of the quest chain. 9. daedric artifacts are shitty compared to magically crafted items with soul traps being used. 10. always fast travel to places, traveling on foot is fun and novel but you can run into some major bugs with world loading if you just walk from point a to point b all the time. Falling through the world, etc.

[@Kijinn]

@ 1:28:20 - Traveling One reason why no one played Daggerfall by walking/riding between locations, at the time of its release: The original view distance was so short (maybe ~20-30 meters, i.e. ~65-100 feet) that you would constantly walk past cities without seeing them. Finding the small dungeon entrances that way was almost impossible. That very limited view distance also made real time traveling very bland, since there was barely anything to look at.

[@SkyBlueFox1]

Speaking as a Daggerfall fan, I’m not all too surprised that it didn’t click for Vinny. I think it *would* click with a little more time and experience… but therein lies the rub; it feels best to play after/once you have some general experience. It ironically shares that trait with many other CRPGs, both old and new. That being said, mods do go a long way towards improving the flavor and variety of DGU. My favorites are probably Basic Roads and Travel Options, since they actually give the overworld itself some much-needed screen time. Turning land-based fast-travel into a time-accel version really goes a long way in impressing the scope and size of the world on you. It’s a lot more immersive (and not boring!) than just instantaneous fast-travel. Combine it with some of the random event mods like Warm Ashes and you have a surprisingly solid platform for adventure.

[@grocam3]

Daggerfall isnt the most accessible game tbh, even back in 1996 it seemed janky, but when it clicked it was over. was hooked 13 hours a day non stop for 2 months. went sick and never played this game ever again. it was harder than any fucked up drug.

We all know if he turns smaller dungeons off this 2 hour vod wouldn't have even been halfway through the first one

[@MondoMurderface]

Vinny should have given this a better chance. The climbing mechanics and scale are really fun.

[@EddieSpaghetti69]

Climbing lets you go beyond just pretending to be spider man. It's an absurdly powerful skill.

[@IfYouKnewYouKnow]

Omg! I never thought I'd get to see Vin play this!🎉

[@dougneon9550]

Yay! I started playing Daggerfall on Christmas Eve so this is quite a fun treat

[@Flying_Titor]

It's a shame vinny didn't vibe with this game. It's really good once you get the hang of some of the jank (plus theres loads of amazing mods)

[@thefilmdirector1]

typical Bethesda drone "its really good once you get past it not being good at all" shut the fuck up.

[@rekius328]

i dont blame him, not saying it's bad but it's definitely not for everyone lol

[@XxDigitalDaftPunkxX]

It's good, but you really have to get used to it's bullshit. I eventually just used console commands to teleport to cursor to get around towns after a while. Also return to dungeon entrance is a life saver.

Picks a class with little to no magic capability. Hard Mode Selected.

[@phalanxiatheroan863]

Unironically one of my favourite games. Really happy to see Vinny play it.

[@phalanxiatheroan863]

Also the Emperor sending you on a glorified quest to effectively delete his d*ck pics is always hilarious.

[@angrydiddykong262]

well it SUUUUUCKS Play a better game

[@Mateumt]

@@angrydiddykong262 FALSE, it is fun

[@Top_Hat_Walrus]

Killing first skeleton first try is actually kinda impressive

[@robertwildschwein7207]

He is easy if you actually minmax your build instead of just picking random shit. High speed, strenght, a Silver Staff or Elven Flail and some backstepping to dodge his attacks easily take care of him.

[@LeudieBlues]

It's nice to see peeps go out of their way to make Daggerfall playable on more modern PCs, heard the original is a lot harder. I've only played Morrowind and I've enjoyed that a lot, but never bothered with Oblivion and Skyrim since they really never scratched that itch that Morrowind did. Bethesda I feel has really fallen off after Morrowind imo. (thanks Emil)

[@iplyrunescape305]

They really did. Oblivion was still quite good but it was the beginning of the end.

[@wind2536]

Oblivion is kino too, Skyrim bored me

[@JacobKinsley]

No no no, when you circlejerk over hating Emil (perfectly fine tbh imo) you say the writing fell off after the _dark brotherhood_ storyline for oblivion, not oblivion itself.

[@scrittle]

Old man yells at clouds. It's always different with ES followers: 1) Morrowind enjoyers who berate future titles for dumbing down gameplay aspects, 2) Oblivion enjoyers who denounce Morrowind for its age and say Skyrim is boring (my camp), 3) Skyrim enjoyers who denounce Morrowind for its age and Oblivion for its lack of immersion, 4) ES fans who don't align themselves with any game and see each one as its own entry. I haven't seen any Daggerfall enjoyers so I can't cast judgement on them, but they're probably in the Morrowind camp. I'm a moron for making blatant assumptions and grouping fans together, but it's how I see it really.

[@iplyrunescape305]

@@scrittle Skyrim enjoyers complain about immersion? LMAO. Morrowind is the most immersive of all the modern titles. Skyrim enjoyers can't complain about age when it itself is dated and is just a slightly modified Morrowind build.

[@galimirnund6543]

I joined the fighters guild last night. That NPC right as you go in told me his master needed help so, I went to help him and he was some evil dude and sent me to a place called Alabane House of Correction..unknown to me ... a HUGE dungeon. After about 3 hours (I like going down every hallway, pulling all the switches, levers.. I would be a boring gamer to watch lol. I found my way out. I went back to Daggerfall and killed that dude in the attic of some house... the quest log asked me if I wanted to go back..so, I did.... there was a whole new HUGE area with teleporting doorways...that took another few hours... this game is awesome!!! Skyrim dungeons are no comparison... Oblivion either..I hope wayward realms is like this...

[@Eichward_SKV]

In my first playthrough back in the days I randomly run into a brothel. While my mom was watching.

[@ghostmutton]

Man I love early PC games.

[@Ryu1ify]

Holy cow ! Vinny on da Daggerfall Unity !

[@David-wo7nt]

Gameplay might not have aged very gracefully, but I fucking love these tunes - flutes giving me David Wise vibes, and I'm always down for some strange chanting and "tok tok tok-tok-tok....."

[@agrippa2012]

im glad im not the only one that gets donkey kong vibes from some of the tracks in daggerfall

[@vitormauch7367]

I weirdly think the gameplay is fine, it’s just that it’s simple.

[@Sithalos]

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

[@Hacker_lyx]

the best mod I ever downloaded for Daggerfall was one which just removes the story quest and lets you roleplay.

[@CrizzyEyes]

The story dungeons are really good though.

[@Hacker_lyx]

@@CrizzyEyes Yeah it's just the timers stress me out. I know they don't actually matter, but the fact they exist makes the game unplayable. lol

[@metalgearfan9802]

I never expected Vinny to EVER play Daggerfall, lmfao.

[@Bushman06]

Man everybody is playing daggerfall damn

When a Bethesda game from 1996 is better than a Bethesda game from 2023.

[@jayl5032]

Cus it has SOVL

[@PROJEKT_R3D]

Isn't that the case for most companies?

[@scrittle]

Old beats new because old games tried to be as fun as possible for sales, whilst new games try to be as profitable as possible. Baldur's Gate 3 and Hi-fi Rush got critical acclaim for catering more to fun than profit, while the newest Modern Warfare was shat on for being a glorified DLC sold at full price with the biggest change being a UI update.

[@cookieface80]

Your Swedish alter ego was just talking about this the other day.

[@Top_Hat_Walrus]

So glad he’s playing this. Shits fun

[@steel5897]

Pls do a 100% playthrough, only 20 years of gameplay. Boooooti.

[@Dresdenstl]

It's strange seeing Vinny play this old ass DOS game from my childhood. I welcome it though.

[@OverlordParadox]

Please let this be 'Part 1'

[@Tiro1000]

New mods are still coming out that overhaul different aspects of this game. World of Daggerfall, Basic Roads, and Travel Options are three I definitely recommend for the overworld aspect. UI mods, tooltip mods, graphical overhauls, DFU got it! The difference between vanilla and modded is night and day, I highly recommend revisiting daggerfall with some mods.

[@DragonGrafx-16]

Argonians don't worship any of the Divines but they revere the Hist and Sithis so I would have chosen none. lol

[@garuelx8627]

You'll be surprised to find out who the Dark Brotherhood worship in this game.

[@probablynotdad6553]

add some mods that return missing features and follow a character guide until you know how to make good ones on your own, making a bad character can entirely ruin a run.

[@tastezemelon7229]

Ahhh yes, the better Starfeild.

[@bjornolfactory9363]

I won't lie. I've tried beating this game many times, and every time I try I encounter some game breaking bug. Or one of the main quests breaks and I just quit.

[@metetural9140]

I quit after I got a quest to kill someone in a town and then nobody would tell me where he lived

[@Morden2260]

Gyattzilla - missed opportunity there.

[@technite5360]

Thank god Todd Howard was not in charge of Daggerfall. Sad that the team who created Elder Scrolls didn't continue and were replaced by Toad. I hope that the modders will push this game to its full potential.

[@OtherMomo]

It's so funny this 3xists, I JUST WATCHED a King's Field Retrospective that made a joke about daggerfall, saying "people are still lost to this day" And now I see someone is actually playing and may have gotten lost in it (haven't watched the vod yet)

[@ItsRyanHello]

this stream probably caused a zoomer to go into epileptic shock

[@ale_schneider]

Yeah, that zoomer was Vinny
