Morrowboomer playing Daggerfall for the first time. I watched a guide video so I'm running Unity with a few mods and a (mostly) recommended character build.

Got started last night. It took me a few tries to get out of the starter dungeon but nothing too horrific. I rest one more time outside just to be safe then venture off into the wilderness where a wandering NPC picks me off pretty quickly. Oh well, I guess I SHOULD have tried the fast travel system like they recommended and...this game doesn't autosave on rest. Or at all. Fuck.

Oh well, I wanted better rolls anyways! Rebuilt my guy and made my way to the mages guild to sign up, first quest was to get some research from a dude in another town, easy peasy!

Second quest is to grab my guy some magical shoes he wants to study. I get two leads, an NPC to talk to or a dungeon to track down a lead. I figured the NPC would be easy, but he's tucked away In a dungeon, nbd. I fight my way through and he doesn't know where the Jordans are so I circle back to the other dungeon to look for the note. I find a notebook page pretty early on but it doesn't have any information on where these fucking shoes are.

Now I'd heard tell of uncompleteable quests in this game, and while I did think a bug of some sort was possible, I figured it was much more likely that I had failed to notice something as a new player. My first thought was there must be another page SOMEWHERE in these massive fucking dungeons that had the information, so I proceed to go through all three of them meticulously, robbing every enemy, picking up anything I can. The guild gave me 39 days to find these shoes and that's quickly running out given how often I have to rest to make it through these dungeons.

I finally concede this dungeon is a dead end, but maybe I need to go back to the first NPC WITH the letter in my possession and it will jog his memory on where these Loubitons are hiding, but no dice.

I really didn't want to fail my second ever mages guild quest, and I thought I may have sequence broke things by going to the NPC before the dungeon. I decided to call it a night at that point and decide how to proceed with fresh eyes.

This morning giving it some thought over a cup of coffee I decided to check UESP. I want to stay mostly unspoiled, but given how early on I am I wanted to KNOW if this was a bug I'd need to look out for again, or if I'd just missed something.

Turns out it was neither, there's just a 25% chance this particular quest will not be completeable 😂. I think I'm gonna like this game!

https://ibb.co/87DjQ6y this is what it looks like but I am not sure what mod is causing this

I made a new thief type character with climbing as a major skill. I didn't want it to take up a primary skill slot but I'm seeing now that I should have, because my character CANNOT CLIMB. It's at 25 and I just keep falling down the wall trying to climb up something pretty small. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Is climbing just that difficult at earlier levels? I feel like I should be able to scale a city wall if it's a major skill, but I can't even do that.

I downloaded daggerfall off of steam and a chunk of the game is off screen, leaving me with a third of the screen black

Hello! I started last night and chose a High Elf since I wanted to see what the magic in this game was like.

In just about every city I go to, everyone is pretty racist towards me, or is just generally unhelpful, citing things like learning how to ask stuff like a normal person, or saying "why the hell would I tell an elf?". my least favorite part about these sorta games is the racism, its just annoying to play, offputting to people who actually experience this type of stuff irl, and overall adds to the time i have to wander around an area to learn where a certain residence for a quest is, or sometimes people just not giving me a response.

Are there any Elvish towns I can go to and not have to keep dealing with NPCs who turn the tiniest question into a matter of race?

Started this game to see what the fuss is about. Character mains archery, stick my points in archery so I have 60 points.

Die to rat because tutorial gives me the wrong keys

Bat gets stuck in the door and shoot 25 arrows at it, none of which hit.

Weapon absolutely useless, die to anything that moves. Can just about kill the rat. What the fuck.

So I'm trying to use the paperdoll replacer and the paperdoll enhancer mod I put the replacer file into the texture folder in streamassets and I dropped the enhanced mod file just in the stream asset folder but it still just uses th vanilla character models. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong if anyone else who uses that mod sees this please give me advice.

I thought darksouls was hard. Just found out about this game earlier today. Oh game is free sick. First cave I find myself sprinting around running from green bats and my heart is racing 🤣

Is it normal for NPCs to not want to talk to me if I open their dialogue, close it, and then reopen it? How do I avoid this?

Came looking for help only to find out years old posts and a wrong wiki. So I'm gonna leave this post here in case someone is having the same trouble finishing this god awful quest.

To put it shortly on this quest you get hired to do a dangerous task, you are sent to a "Master" for more info only to meet a "Traitor" and be teleported to a random dungeon. After you escape the dungeon you are left with a quest for vengeance but the traitor isn't any longer in the residence you first met him.

According to the wiki people will only point you towards the original residence so if you want to find him and kill him you need to look into every single house (which is wrong). In other words get fucked basically. This is how to finish this without ripping your dick and yeet it into orbit (I found it by sheer miracle). You need to speak again with the guy who hired you in the begining. A message will pop out where he tells you that the traitor is in a new residence, now you can look for it as usual, enter and kill the mage without problem finishing the quest.

PD: I did this in Daggerfall for Unity. Maybe in the DOS vanilla version is still bugged but the wiki doesn't say anything about the Unity version patching it up.

This game just sucks. I liked the music, the art style(with unity including mods) and the idea. But my god, is it buggy as hell. I tried 5 quests and 3 of them had quests NPCs not spawned and dungeons are messy as hell. No idea how you guys are still enjoying this. Going back to morrowind.

Edit: Think i solved it. I'm new to the game and it felt like a random sandbox compared to later games. Tried finding solutions for the missing NPCs and the most i saw was it's just Todd Howard's Vision. I will try playing Vanilla again.

So I got this quest where I had to investigate on fake Dibella’s witnessing. Cutting long story short, it’s final part is exploring the ruins of hold of kinging in shalgora, where I’m supposed to find an MIA priestess of Dibella or a proof of her death. I think i spent like 3 hours going around this dungeon, even went to noclip mode in desperacy, and i still can’t find nothing. I’m pretty sure I’ve wiped the whole dungeon, but maybe I’ve missed something. Anyone got any clues? I’m pretty new to the game.

I started a character, and I'm doing Mage Guild quest rn. The quest calls for me to kill a mad wizard, but I've scoured the dungeon twice and looked on every wall, I can't find him.

I'd rather not run into issues like this all the time.

Are there any mods for the Steam version that help or are quality of life improvements?

Any help is appreciated!

I guess that's what to expect from power crazy monarchs

So, I started a new game, and for whatever reason I can no longer tilt my view downwards from the default straight ahead while on my horse. I can raise my head, but not lower it. I'm using DFU with a number of mods, so it could be any number of those (or interactions between), or just a setting I selected. I can play around with these until I get the right results, but I was hoping someone else had experienced this before and already had a diagnosis.

Thanks in advance, and thanks much!

Hi, I'm looking for a mod that makes it more expensive to sleep in taverns (maybe something like 10x more expensive or something). I know that climates and calories has a feature like that but I don't want to deal with managing food and clothes and such. I just want the increase room prices. Is there such a mod ? Thank you.

I'm playing as a spellsword in the original Dosbox edition and I would like to know if there's a mod or a fix of some sort to make it so I can actually wear these restricted armours. I don't like feeling like I'm locked out of content in the game.

TLDR: only ever fast travel to places that are a maximum of 1 day away = more interesting journeys.

I was inspired by a post here about a guy who basically maxed hand-to-hand and was judy-choppin a horde of orcs back to Malacath. I had never considered hand-to-hand to be a worthwhile skill, but how wrong I was! It inspired me to build new and interesting characters that i had not previously considered.

I play a decently modded DFU, so.. anyways now I'm a vampire focused on necromancy, causing havoc in the name of the King of Worms, and having a blast!

BUT in playing this character, I came to a new playstyle that I really like. Basically, I use fast-travel, but I NEVER travel more than 1 day away, forcing me to stop at towns and dungeons along the way. I make it a point to do something at every stop, even if its just eat/stay in a tavern.

No mods necessary, and I find that by only ever fast travelling 1 days travel at a time, my journeys are much more interesting and memorable. Anybody else do something similar?

So, I've been playing some immersive sims recently and I'm thinking to play DFUnity again, but it's been a minute. I'm trying to keep my modlist sparse, basically Basic Roads, Travel Options, Roleplay and Realism, Climate and Calories, Vanilla Enhanced, and any other mods that support those.

The thing I remember running into last time was that, while covering short distances using F to follow roads and setting up camp/sleeping at taverns was fun, across large distances it was exhausting. I was wondering how mods like Climate and Calories and other mods (the one that makes your wagon break down, e.g.) interact with fast travel, since I'd like to be able to utilize fast travel to go long distance, with the elevated prices of Taverns from Climate and Calories, and accumulating wear and tear across long distance travel, and then cover shorter distances using accelerated travel from travel options.

So, do those mods consider fast travel? I feel like I remember getting a friendly reply from Ralzar saying the mod was built with overland travel/basic roads in mind, which is fun, but I'd really like to be able to fast travel as well. Also, I haven't played since COVID, so I'm not totally sure how mods have changed, what's been broken by updates, etc., and I'm not super clear on where to find documentation on anything.

Thanks folks!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let people know that josh strife hays is currently streaming daggerfall on twitch. He ended up doing 6 or so hours of it last night. Looks like he is really getting into it and enjoying the game. Link to it is here:

Daggerfall twitch

I'm doing the vampire quest Territorial Battles within Dwynnen, and I was told to go the Agristyr Laboratory. But no matter how I type it there is no place within Dwynnen by that name. I have checked online but found no answers, the game just will not register that Agristyr Laboratory exists at all.

Is this a bug or is the name misspell anywhere? I only have this and one more quest before I've checked every vampire quest off, so I don't have to waste hours trying to reget this quest for another location. What can I do here?

Thanks for reading and for whatever help you can offer.

Okay so I'm trying to level my Swimming skill, and recently discovered I can cast Levitation to move faster even while underwater.

By doing this am I keeping myself from getting Swimming EXP?
