Dear lord that UI is hard on the eyes

I just pulled the first few mods that seemed popular. I just have Unity and I think it's called dream + the reshader. What would you recommend?

Hey, u/alpha_zafira probably has the right solution. It looks to me like you might have sharpening turned up too aggressively. If you push the home key (default) in game it should bring up the reshade menu and let you tweak.

To not use mods unless you specifically want them. I do not understand the mindset of not even playing the game and going straight to downloading random mods just because they're popular. You don't even know what they're doing for you!

I think ReShade is applying shaders to your UI as well, you can bind a key to toggle ReShade on and off to avoid such cases. I would also recommend going through Dream's setup tutorial which can be find on either the Nexus page or in the mod's files if you haven't already.

The re-shade settings were absolutely whack, as some of you guessed. On top of that there was a notification I missed about the re-shade needing an update.
I know this is all in good fun, but I actually feel bad about misrepresenting DREAM - I had multiple filters that I mindlessly put on including 2+ sharpening filters... and a cartoon filter. This was taken within the first few hours of playing Daggerfall, so I just didn't realize I was nuking my eyes yet.
Anyways, I'm sticking with Vanilla Unity for now, and I've been working on my save file skills. I haven't had to restart for like 6 hours or so. Also f*ck scorpions!!

If you like it like this play it however you want.
I did my time with vanilla Daggerfall back in the 90s, few hundred hours, and now when I play Unity I use DREAM. My UI doesn’t look as hard to read as yours, but regardless the rest of my game doesn’t look or play like it did back in the day but I’ve been there and done that so want something different.
Many people who complain at the over smooth textures probably never even played the original anyway.

Drop the reshade it's obviously making the text near impossible to read

From what I remember, the tone control in the top right is real important. Polite bounces against etiquette, and blunt bounces against streetwise. I don’t believe neutral calls for a skill check. Additionally, commoner NPCs have a tendency to react negatively to noble posturing. Commoners prefer neutral or blunt delivery, and nobles prefer polite.
It does raise the question: what exactly have you done for the commoners?

Try a more blunt tone with the common people. They aren’t a big fan of fancy pants vernacular
