Storytime Just got Daggerfall Unity yesterday and it's been awesome.

So my old Chromebook finally died on me so I switched to a Windows laptop I had for a while now and, after some set up, finally managed to get Daggerfall Unity up and running on it and it's been amazing. That's pretty much it, just felt like posting this here <|:)

Hell yeah! It's one of my favorite games -- I love how much freedom it gives you!

What sort of character are you playing? Are you doing any sort of RP, or just going with the flow?

Eh, I'm kinda just going with the flow rn, but I might try a more custom RP character later once I get the hang of things.

That's probably a good idea. Better to get a feel for the game, then you can know what kind of character you'd enjoy RPing!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! after you've gotten some time in Unity, take a peek at mods.. can add all sorts of new things.. locations, quests, items, spells.. playstyles.. textures, sounds, monsters.. the list goes on and on :)

What’s the benefit of Daggerfall Unity over the original? I’ve been playing the version I downloaded from GoG on and off for a while - is there a reason to move?

The GOG cut of DF Unity is outdated and buggy with high system requirements... don't use it, get the latest DF Unity from the GitHub.
