@@conmereth Well in my own character's case, I justified it in three primary ways: 1. He's a vampire (or rather, becomes a vampire by choice). Aundae in case you're curious. 2. He's a member of House Telvanni (and a Dunmer), which is more tolerant of vampires as such. 3. He tends to keep his 'head down' as it were. He doesn't draw too much attention to himself over the centuries (aka I play with mods that either alter the main quests in the games, or allow you to skip/ignore them). In short, he's a character "in" the Elder Scrolls, without being the "hero" of those games. Now ESO you don't really have much of a choice, but I just hand-wave that away as just pretending that most of what I do in that game is non-canon to his actual story; and what I DO count as canon, I come up with alternative reasons for it. For example, in Skyrim, my character is *NOT* the Dragonborn. But he *is* powerful enough he can fight dragons one on one and come out victorious due to being a powerful sorcerer and vampire who's (at that point) over 1,000 years old. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the short of it. Hope it helps. :)

Facts! A man with good taste. Morrowind is the best TES game, followed by Daggerfall, then Skyrim, then Oblivion, then Arena. Nice to see someone who started with Skyrim who still understands Morrowind & Daggerfall are better. You took the time to get through the Daggerfall tutorial dungeon, and to learn the combat. You cant hit stuff at first but the combat is so rewarding because of the RPG leveling system. You get to feel your character get better based on the things he/she practiced doing. Many Elder Scrolls fans who started with Skyrim either miss out on the better games or give up on them, when they see they need skill and they can't just melee kill everything easily from the start. Morrowind is such a cozy fun feeling world. Unlike Skyrim the cities actually look different from one another. There's a sense of fantasy and magic.

For the author and anyone who might benefit: The optimal attack pattern for one-handed in Skyrim is power attack followed by two normal attacks (possibly setting up the very first power attack with a single shortened normal attack).

I'd love to play Daggerfall but it wasn't the outdated visuals that stopped me, it was the UI. When I fire an arrow at a bat and it looks like it hit I can't tell if it missed, how much damage it did, etc. Same for physically swinging at an enemy: am I hitting it? Am I doing damage? I have no idea until the thing just dies. To me this is baffling because plenty of old school CRPGs had tons of stats like this being displayed all over the place, usually when you try an attack you see exactly what happened, whether it hit, how much damage it did, etc. In Daggerfall you apparently get none of that and that's what I was unable to deal with.

About how it brought in all these new fans and was all flash and no substance. Heck, it was even released on consoles! Consoles! Of course, I wasn't entirely right, or entirely wrong, it's just a matter of perspective. A lot of the new fans that came on with Morrowind were very much the Skyrim latecomers, to me.

I actually was making it so that more of the unique items could actually be found/created outside of the Skygerfall boundary, and I had also made compat. patches with the Beyond Skyrim: Bruma mod (the Adamantium Ingots from that mod are awesome looking), but unfortunately, all that was lost when Windows 10 decided to be an arsehole and brutally force those damned updates, whilst Windows was running, basically ruining the HDD everything was on. Been nearly a WHOLE DAMN YEAR SINCE THAT HAPPENED. ... Yeah, I had issues; there were some graphical issues (some floor textures were a glitchy mess and one of the items also had this issue), and a few CTDs due to some kind of loading thing. Nothing too glaring, and it's likely that the hardware I have with the more capable PC was basically being maxed out or something, and that might of been the issue. Not sure. I also had that issue with Shedungent, and no, at the time I knew not about the torch puzzle, so I wasn't sure what the deal was. ... I had used the Realm of Lorkan mod, which allows one to transport between various areas using large purple crystals (I forget which Squaresoft game that's ripped from), which also allows one to start there instead. I made my Breton main an ally of many factions, and gave her quite a few boons available from that realm, which would in turn make the large spiders and scorpions not care that I was there and/or aid me in some battles. I had also the alliance with Forsworn (she's a Breton as aforementioned), and because I also had the Handcart mod (I love it!), for a time I was barehanded, and I suplexed a LOT of Imps, lolz "For the Reach!" (I eventually figured out how to make the cart be an incorporeal accessory) ... I must of had over 2,000 weapons and over 1,200 pieces of wearable clothing after completing the quest, not to mention all the usable and unusable items I had also collected. That, and five figures in gold bits, maybe six figures. I had the Daggerfall dagger on a weapon rack in the basement of the 'build-a-house' manor nearby Falkreath, and the Wayrest shield taken from the corpse of the jackarse that betrayed Lysandus on an armor rack nearby the forge. All in all, fun. That said, I am playing the original game and enjoying that (this dated 2007 DELL cannot run DFUnity at all-blame Unity's removal of DX9 support on this). ... TES: Arena.

Given the focus on just the story, I do wonder if a better approach would have been to have the different locations in their own instances that require fast travel (or leaving via gates/roads) to travel between. You'd lose the technicality of it being a true open world, but would be able to focus on set-dressing for the surrounding areas that make them look more true-to-scale. But perhaps that's just a difference in the stylistic vision the mod author had.

I'm disapointed that you didn't install any mods to swap the colours of your health and stamina bar just like Daggerfall. One of my favourite gaming culture shocks I've ever experienced. The idea of health being red was so ingrained in my brain that I couldn't comprehend the fact that the reason I kept dying when my stamina ran out was because it was just a differently coloured health bar. I was making outlandish theories in my head about how the combat system worked when it was just a colour swap.

Yo, I played the unity version of daggerfall a while ago. I cleared the first dungeon and made it to the capital city before I stopped playing. After watching this dudes video on Daggerfall, I picked it up again, and I'm so glad that I did, it's such a good game. It just needs a little more time to get adjusted to it and then some mods once you've become familiarized with it. I'm glad that I ran across this channel because I don't think I would've given daggerfall the second chance it deserves otherwise.

I really like the charm and atmosphere of Daggerfall (unity) but for me combat was tough to enjoy. The main issue I had was knowing if I was actually hitting my enemies. I couldn't figure out how to get the floating dmg numbers to work either. I think having a clearer idea of if my attacks were working would have made it a lot more enjoyable from the combat perspective. Everything else was super neat and charming.

I tried playing this a couple years ago, but it was just way too weird and unsettling for me with how dead the world is. In Daggerfall you feel like you're in a vibrant and huge world, where the thousands of NPCs all have full lives offscreen that have nothing to with you. The cities here are empty, and silent, and still, ghost towns masquerading as kingdoms. Passing through them for even a quick moment, let alone trying to explore and enjoy the world at all, sincerely gave me the creeps. It's a neat project, but it's deeply unfortunate the extent to which it was never finished by being polished into an actual playable and immersive experience, like Daggerfall was.

I think with daggerfall it’s less about the graphics and more about gameplay enhancements. Yea you can upgrade the texture quality a bit but the biggest thing holding me back from it is the ui mechanics and such. With morrowind I absolutely love it but I needed to first learn the mechanics thoroughly first and still only would really play it with modded enhancements as well. Honestly any Bethesda game you’re going to need mods to have an optimal experience.

Daggerfall is honestly pretty fun as is but the wilderness just kills me, it was such a missed opportunity to actually let you explore something interesting but instead its all just sprites for instances areas despite it being clear it doesn't have to be that way, you are perfectly fine with doing all the normal stuff while walking around a town, there really no difference. It would also have been nice if the tree's and such had collision but that's more of a technical limitation from what I understand.

I think Skygerfall is perfect for the modern audience in a more compact package and directed experience. At the same time, I would highly recommend Daggerfall Unity (DFU) for those who dig the concepts and story seen in Skygerfall, because DFU is the ultimate full-blown Daggerfall experience, and then some. For those who don't want the hassle of setting up and configuring DFU, you can pick up a fully modded and configured version on GOG for free.
