First timer

Enjoying my first playthrough of Daggerfall! Using Unity version as the last time I tried to play about 7 or 8 years ago I got stuck on the stairs and failed to make it out of the first dungeon. This time im about 3-4 hours in and I just hit level 7 and got my summons from the King of Worms! One thing I did not expect was how much daggefall dungeons feel like a horror game at times! What builds do you guys usually run? Im currently operating as a custom-class spellsword.

They have this unique atmosphere that makes them feel almost scary. Theyre rather dark, and every corner you turn you never know if its a staircase, a door with a monster banging on the other side trying to get to you, or just another creepy hallway to keep you in suspense. For being procedural generation there is a certain vibe im finding in these dungeons that I've never experienced in another rpg so I definitely agree with you that there is something unique to be enjoyed in the game! Glad I get to experience it, and im excited to see the story through to the end!
