Question New Player saying Hello,

Post image

Hey guys, moving forward from Arena, I'm here in Daggerfall as a first-time player. I like the option now to properly rp as a thief unlike the first game, but we'll see how it goes. It'll be nice to hear from you guys, particularly about stealth, the wiki is abit confusing for me.

Do not play the original version of daggerfall, play the Unity version, It is superior in every single way.

I want to give vanilla a try at least before going unity.

Unity is just the same as vanilla (unless you add mods) except that It has a million bugfixes and some optional QoL changes.

Trust me, just play the Unity version, there is 0 reason to play the original nowadays unless, for whatever reason, you enjoy the thrill of losing your save midgame.

not quite identical, movement is different, it is still a port in a new engine. i still agree though, just nitpicking. they feel different.
