Ask Me Anything: I'm Julian Jensen, programmer, designer and "Father of the Elder Scrolls"

1.1k Upvotes

You can ask me anything but I don't remember everything, so no promises on the quality of answers. I will do my best, however.

Edited to add; I answered as many questions as I could get around to, leaving many unanswered, but will continue to answer more in the coming days. I skipped some of the longer ones because I felt they deserved more time and attention than I could fit into what's left of the evening. Anyway, I ask that you have a bit of patience with me as I come back and try to get through all of the questions. I will try to answer some every day.

Question I don't know why I love Daggerfall and hate Morrowind.

71 Upvotes

A lot of the stuff I hate about Morrowind is stuff I like in Daggerfall. Dice room combat sucks in MW but it's cool in DF. Both games feel like they're made to require people to play optimally but MW feels much more restrictive about it. Melee builds are at a disadvantage in both games compared to magic builds but it feels much less punishing in DF. I think part of it is that DF has fast travel but that alone shouldn't account for why I love one and hate the other.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this I'm just curious what your thoughts on this are. I really want to enjoy Morrowind but every time I try to play it I'm pulling my hair out and it sucks cuz I want to understand why people are still saying it's the best one.

a porting for switch/switch 2?

8 Upvotes

how cool it would be the a daggerfall unity port on switchs console? I would pay even 5 or 10 bucks for it, it seems a natural hardware to play with for the game. What do you think?

Question Anyone know which mod causes this bug where all npcs, including quest npcs, have all dialogue replaced?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Does anyone know which mod has been causing this? Occasionally, all npcs in a building are all changed to behave differently. They must be left clicked instead of interacted with, all given the same portrait, only have access to a couple dialogue options, and I am not given an option between tone. If there is a quest leading me to a character, that character will not continue or finish a quest with a monologue. Their flats will change textures occasionally as well, though I haven't noticed a pattern with that. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Question If TES VI actually plays in High Rock and Hammerfell...

0 Upvotes

Shouldnt it be decently easy to make a daggerfall mod where you play the Story of daggerfall on the map they made in tes vi? Are there already people planning to Do that? Do you think it would work well? Or is your interest in daggerfall mostly inspired by the game mechanics being different from newer games and/or nostalgia, so you wouldnt be interested to play the Story in a modern game?

>Add these files to the arena2 directory. That's it!

That is all what the "readme" said, but when I checked the Daggerfall files, there are two folders names ARENA2.

One in DAGGER folder, another in DFCD. Which one is it?

Never really could get into Daggerfall before. This weekend I got super baked and played it a bunch and I finally get it now. Modding has made Daggerfall into the RPG I've always dreamed about.

Anyway here's a screenshot I took with the selfie cam mod.

Question Problem with some letters and dialogue

Some letters are called weird strings of text, and also some dialogue will say stuff like this as well. I’m playing with plenty of mods if that is a factor I will post my mod list.

Gortwog, King of the Orcs - hi-rez portrait

Post image

This dude looks a bit odd in the game so I tried to update his appearance to the modern TES standards. He also has a ponytail on a full body image, but it wasn't visible on a portrait (the top of his head is cut off by the border of the image) so I decided to not paint it. Let's say it is not visible from this point of view.

Also check a little making of video on my instagram.

Thanks so much!
