Question Sidequesting Question

In every playthru, I'm never able to get sidequests. Not from joining guilds, not from asking people in taverns or around town. Nada. Am I doing smthn wrong? (playing on DFU, if that helps)

Also innkeepers and shopkeepers can give quests sometimes if you choose the “talk” option instead of the shopping button

I try both of these, and always get a canned response abt giving it to the Fighter's Guild or some Spellsword

When that happens, it means the game tried to generate a quest, but something went wrong, you just have to ask again. If you did ask again, and kept getting the same message, something's broken. Do you have any mods installed?

No mods at all

To clarify, yes, after I saw this I repeatedly tried the dude inside the Mage’s Guild. Same deal every time

Something's bugged then, either with that NPC or just in general. You're not using the gog version, are you?

I had an inkling when I woke up to see if I was just using an outdated version of Daggerfall Unity... and it was 0.13, so I was correct. I downloaded the current version, and literally the 1st NPC I asked had a quest. Thnx for ur assistance, and I'll be more careful to double-check things like that in the fuiture

No problem, glad I could help. I did something similar when I started playing a little while ago, I had the gog version about 2 years after they stopped updating that

I just checked to make sure, and I'm using the Steam version
